Here is a summary of the regional development and key milestones: 1970s-1980s: Foundation Phase Key Regions : Primarily in states like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka. Renewable Focus : Small hydropower and bioenergy for rural areas. Policy Initiatives : The government began promoting renewable energy as a means of rural electrification, with a focus on small hydropower and biomass energy. Development Activities : Initial renewable energy projects were undertaken, focusing mainly on local solutions like improved biomass cookstoves and small hydroelectric projects. 1990s: Institutional Framework Development Key Regions : Expansion to Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Andhra Pradesh. Renewable Focus : Wind energy started gaining importance. Policy Initiatives : Establishment...

  The development of the modern car has been a fascinating journey, evolving over more than two centuries. What started with steam-powered contraptions in the 1800s has transformed into sleek, high-tech vehicles packed with advanced features like electric propulsion, autonomous driving, and smart connectivity. Here is a detailed look at key milestones in the evolution of the car from the early 1800s to the present. 1800s: The Era of Steam-Powered Vehicles The early days of automotive innovation were dominated by steam power. This was an era of experimentation, where the idea of a self-propelled vehicle was just beginning to take shape. Richard Trevithick's Steam Carriage (1801): British engineer Richard Trevithick designed one of the earliest steam-powered carriages, which could reach a top speed of 5 mph (8 km/h). Though slow and impractical for widespread use, this invention laid the groundwork for future advancements. Amédée Bollée's Steam-Powered Vehicle (1873): French in...

   From the past years technologies, Up-gradations is changing man’s life into a new direction in developing efficient and effective products and the process will go on with more unique changes in the technology. There are new developments that you can find in the electricity and energy sector which is effecting the life of the man in different ways. From the early man to modern man the change in life style has improved a lot with different lessons and experiences to step ahead for the improvement. Electricity had played a key role in the man’s life for better development but it also has both positives and negative shades. We are installing the renewable like solar wind and biomass from past 20 years and the capacities need to be increases further. Limitations in Renewable(s) Solar:  Efficiency is one of the key draw back which is around 18-24% and it has to be increase and lots of R&D is taking place in efficiency, transparent cells, biological solar cells ...
