India faces twin challenges of meeting the rising energy demands of a developing economy and ensuring an economy-wide low-carbon transition to stay on track with its decarbonization goal leading to a net zero energy mix by 2070. As emissions from the use of fossil fuels remain the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the country, a massive restructuring of the energy sector is needed. This requires integrated planning across all sectors, and the harnessing of all low-carbon energy technologies and emission reduction mechanisms so that affordable and reliable energy is available to everyone during the process of transition and after achieving net zero. This article examines the future energy requirements and surveys a wide range of studies to make recommendations for policy formulation.

We analysed gut samples of stranded dugongs from Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, India, to understand their die - tary preferences. We quantified seagrass fragments from the gut as leaf, stem and rhizome, and identified leaf fragments up to genera level by their morphological features and epidermal cell characteristics using an inverted microscope. The overall abundance of above-ground fragments (leaf, stem) was higher in all samples , which may suggest the dugongs use a cropping mechanism to forage. The ingested seagrass generic diversity was higher in Tamil Nadu ( n = 5) dugong individuals than those in Gujarat ( n = 2). A total of five genera were recorded from all samples, viz. Halophila spp., Halodule spp., Cymodocea spp., Enhalus sp. and Syringodium spp. In Tamil Nadu, Cymodocea spp. (46.24%) was the most dominant, followed by Halophila spp. (26.49%), Syringodium spp. (14.83%) and Halodule spp. (12.16%), with a low occurrence of Enhalus spp. (0.19%). In Gujarat, Halodule spp. (61.48%) was the most dominant, followed by Halophila spp. (30.20%). The recorded plastic and wood fragments suggest fine spatial scale threat mapping in dugong habitats.

Increasing global water shortage emphasizes the need for demand-side water management policies, especially in the agriculture sector, being the largest consumer of freshwater. Such policies are relevant in India, where groundwater depletion may have severe implications at various socio-economic levels. In this study, using mathematical modelling, we assess the feasibility of two alternative irrigation water pricing policies – (i) uniform water pricing policy and (ii) differentiated water pricing policy, wherein farmers growing less water-requiring crops (<4488 m 3 /ha) get an incentive for saving water, while those growing water-intensive crops pay for it. Using a case study of Punjab, the breadbasket and one of the fastest groundwater-depleting states in India, alternative cropping patterns are also suggested. The findings reveal that the current rate of groundwater withdrawal could not sustain agricultural intensification in the state. Although optimization of resource allocation has the potential to save water by 8%, this alone is unlikely to break the rice–wheat mono-cropping pattern in Punjab. The analysis of two different volumetric irrigation water pricing policies shows that differentiated water pricing would be more effective in halting groundwater depletion in the state. However, adequate investment in irrigation water supply infrastructure, mainly for installing water meters, is required to implement the policy.

Human disturbance can alter the structure and function of ecological communities. We studied the bird and but-terfly communities of Tamhini Wildlife Sanctuary, Maha-rashtra, India, to understand the effects of changing land use and management in two decades. We replicated a previous study conducted between 1998 and 2001; sampling seven line transects every fortnight between April 2016 and April 2017. Species diversity increased for both taxa, and community composition was significantly different across studies. Generalist species witnessed a maximum increase in diversity, while some specialist guilds declined. While this study is limited in spatial scale, we highlight the effects of local changes in land use and management across trophic levels and the cascading effects on ecosystem function.

Among the ancient cities and ports of Tamil Nadu, India, Poompuhar is a historical and coastal port that emerged with the increasing maritime trade of the early Chola kingdom. The ancient trade town and the busy port of Poompuhar symbolize the Tamil culture and civilization up to 200 CE . The city was destroyed and washed away by big shore waves during AD 500. The submerged parts and scattered destruction remains have been identified in onshore and offshore excavations around the coastal lines of the Bay of Bengal in Tamil Nadu. Information on the port city can be found in various sources, such as archaeological evidence, historical references, coastal erosion data and Sangam Tamil literature. Here, a methodology is pre-sented for a semantic representation of Poompuhar port city, integrating heterogeneous data to create a knowledge base by mapping and associating related entities. The knowledge base has been created using CIDOC CRM to represent Poompuhar events digitally. The experimental results of the ontology are verified exploring the submergence of Poompuhar use cases for onshore and offshore excavations through a knowledge graph.

The present study assessed the effect of improved agricultural technologies disseminated under the ambitious Farmer FIRST Programme on production costs of major crops in Bundelkhand region, Uttar Pradesh, India. The findings show that the average real cost during 2017–18 to 2020–21 declined, leading to an increase in the net return to cost ratio from farming. Technological interventions at the farmer’s field resulted in a gradual decline in the share of seed, fertilizer and plant protection chemicals in the cost of cultivation. The price elasticity of factors, estimated by fitting the translog function, suggests that policies for controlling input price inflation, particularly wage rate, will be imperative in reducing the cost of farming. The results on the elasticity of technical substitution between labour and machinery highlight the need for devising suitable farm mechanization strategies which may be affordable in the small farm situation as well. The panel data estimate of negative cost elasticity of yield indicates that productivity growth plays a vital role in absorbing the increase in production cost.

Oral cancer is a common type of head and neck cancer that affects majority of the population worldwide. The present study focuses on the network-based protein– protein interaction (PPI) approach for the identification of oral cancer targets and systems biology approach-based analysis. Totally 47 oral cancer gene targets were extracted from the BioXpress database, Oral Cancer Gene Database and HNC database. The related protein networks were explored and visualized using Cytoscape v3.7.2. Topology predictions were performed by Molecular Complex Detection tool and Biological Networks Gene Ontology tool (BiNGO) plug-in from Cytoscape v3.7.2. The comprehensive study using MCODE are three clusters of 15 common oral cancer genes. The predicted proteins were GSK-3 β , PKM, Catenin- β 1, Tp53, SMAD-3, MYC, LDHA, HIF1- α , PDPK-1, AKT3, PIK3CA, ILK, UBC, E2F1 and SKP. The 15 oral cancer genes with their significant P -value < 0.05 are responsible for the development of oral cancer. These 15 proteins obtained from network-based interaction analysis can be a potential solution of anti-cancer drug molecules against multiple targets of oral cancer.

This article describes the software (SW) implementation work to generate and visualize 3D surface models over the Earth, Moon and Mars using high-resolution satellite datasets from Indian remote sensing satellites over a specialized multiprojector system. Varied resolution datasets from Indian satellites like Cartosat series, ResourceSat, Mars Orbiter Mission and Chandrayaan-1, and digital elevation model (DEM) from CartoDEM were used for surface modelling and visualization. The generated high-resolution 3D surface model over the Earth is useful for strategy, urban planning, infrastructural planning, disaster management and educational purposes. It is also important to visualize the 3D surface of planets other than the Earth to visualize potential rover landing sites navigating to prominent features of the planet and validating future imaging sites. An indigenous SW package has been developed to model and visualize the 3D surface over multiprojector system, utilizing image processing techniques of data interpolation
