This is how yesterday female elephant from Dharmapuri, TN was rescued. Which fell in open well. After hours of operation, which included supplying food also, the elephant is rescued by forest team. It was a 50 feet deep well. And credits to the elephant also for her will. @ANI
Open wells & ditches in elephant migratory routes are huge problems for these animals. Since they are long ranging creatures, migrate to long distances for food & water.

Least we can do is cover such wells or keep safety wall. Imagine it was a 50 feet deep well.
It took a complete day for the forest staff to rescue the female elephant from 50 feet deep well. Every such rescue is a unique case where strategy is adopted based on circumstances.

Kudos to all involved in this one.
It was 15 hour long rescue. Here at a glance. From planning, getting down, crowd management, keeping elephant alive & hydrated and then finally bringing her out safely. Elephant needs appreciation as well for cooperating. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

In 1930, anticipating the Nobel Prize, CV #Raman bought two tickets to Stockholm, other for his wife, as early as September, 3 months early.

His conviction was not misplaced; was decorated with the Nobel Prize for Physics that year for his path-breaking work. #BirthAnniversary
Raman was also the first Non white to get Nobel Prize in science. It took merely Rs.200 to make this discovery & now millions of rupees.

University of Cambridge offered him a Professor’s job.

He rejected & later appointed as 1st Indian Director of IISc Bangalore in 1933.
Later he wrote his experience of sitting under Union Jack while recieving the prize. How it led to his breakdown.

Amur falcons are back to India. Let me share story, a bird which crosses Himalayas enroute to India from Mongolia & Arabian Sea for going to Africa. This bird covers 22,000 KMs flying. One of the nature’s amazing wonder. In Nagaland they come in hundreds of thousands & stay. 1/n
While we were inside. Irang an Amur falcon was radio tagged by WII in Manipur. It went to South Africa, returned back to China. On October it again started journey. And in one year it covered 29,000 kms & back to Manipur. Which machine can beat that.
In one study three Amur falcons were radio tagged named as Naga, Pangati & Wokha. By 13 November they left Nagaland & by 25th December all three were in Southern Africa. With some halts in India. They took longest over water journey. Imagine the distance they covered flying.

During a significant project of DRDO, the work pressure was high. A scientist approached his boss – & asked to leave early that day considering he had promised his children to take them to an exhibition.

Boss generously granted permission, the scientist got back to work. 1/3
When he did, he lost the track of time & forgot to leave early. He reached home, feeling guilty, looked for his kids, but could only find his wife.

He asked for kids, and to his surprise she told him: “your manager was here around 5:15 and he took kids for exhibition!”. 2/3
Apparently, Boss had been observing the scientist and noticed that he might never realise he had to go home. Feeling for the kids, he decided to take the kids in his stead.

Boss was none other than APJ Abdul Kalam.

Remembering Kalam sir on his #BirthAnniversary 3/3

Today #India successfully flight tested Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (HSTDV).

India will soon be the fourth country to have hypersonic missiles. After US, Russia & China only.

Congratulations to all scientists. 1/n
Hypersonic missiles fly with more than 5 Mach speed. Which means five times speed of sound. Supersonic is more than Mach 1.

They use SCRAMJET engines. Higher version of RAMJET engines, in short Supersonic Combustion RAMJET (SC+RAMJET) engines. 2/n
Ramjet engine works on principle of Ram effect. Which in simple terms utilising vehicular speed for compression.

But for combustion speed need to be slowed down. Combustion at Sub sonic speed. Which means during expansion there is a check on velocity of vehicle. 3/n
