Humans consume over 100 billion tons of natural resources every year. And this is increasing every year.

7% of this is recycled. That's All.
93% of this ends up on this planet as WASTE.

It would be right to say that the World we created, after passing through stone-age, bronze-age, iron-age, consumer-age ... is NOW in the WASTE AGE.

We have dug and drilled deep into the earth's crust - on land and under the sea. We pulled out every resource that this planet had stored over thousands of centuries, and created consumables. After its useful Life, the same is discarded.

Go to Google /AI and research for pictures that show discarded car tyres, burial sites of the carcasses of wind mills, dead solar panels, plastic waste, land fill sites .... I can bet that after watching it, you will find it difficult to sleep. The nightmarish giant size of the problem can haunt you.

We at #Ui (ui.ltd) work on Non-Recyclable #PlasticWaste.

The processed food industry is one of the biggest consumers of #FlexiblePackagingMaterial. This magic packaging solution has enabled transit of food materials across continents to serve the nutritional requirements of us humans.

The multiple layers of MLP prevent food contamination and help with transport and storage. Tetra pack, MLP (packets of potato chips, cookies, masalas, milk Powder, etc) preserve the contents and allow it to be transported all over till it reaches your kitchen.

The layers in the sheet are made of paper, paper board, polymeric materials, metalized layers, and aluminum foil. Few Billion packets of these MLP are thrown out as waste every day.

In India we discarded more than 1 million Metric Tonnes of MLP waste last year.

At Unified Intelligence Pvt Ltd., Bangalore, we use thermo-set sheets made from shredded tiny pieces of MLP waste packets to build construction grade structurally integrated panels (#SIP). These highly engineered panels have amazing mechanical and thermal properties.

A single 500 sqft. 2 BHK #Ui Home consumes 4.5 tons of ocean bound plastic waste in its walls and roofs.

We are able to keep homes cooler using the natural upward movement of air in the honeycomb channels sandwiched inside the construction panels that form the walls of a house. Scorching sun heats the walls, the air inside the panels gets warm and begins their journey upwards. From the roof of the house, this hot air evacuates through a contraption back into the atmosphere. Thus, keeping the inside of the home 100% insulated from outside temperature.

The sheets in the panels are largely plastic waste which is a natural thermal insulator. We are also able to pass cool air from an air conditioning/refrigeration system through these air channels and reduce temperature inside up to 3° C for food storage solutions.

We build terrace living spaces, double storied and triple storied structures, auditoriums, ware houses, class rooms, co-working spaces, public toilets, security cabins, etc. with our panels

The cost is always lower when compared to buildings made with conventional construction materials.

A typical brick-and-mortar building consumes 30,000 liters of water for every 1000 sq. ft. of construction. Homes made with #Ui panels do NOT use water for construction. Neither do we need river sand, reinforcement metal rods, concrete, cement and bricks to build walls and roofs with our panels.

The weight of our panels is 1/8th of the weight of a conventional wall of equal dimensions.

Construction time for Ui Homes is less than 2 weeks. Dustless and noiseless construction. The entire house comes packed from our factory in a single truck. This is then installed at site by the team. We do not use any major - large sized construction equipment.
Very well suited for sites with access challenges.

An excellent choice for coastal areas, hilly terrains, jungle lodges, estate cottages, rooftop construction.

We can train anyone on how to build their own homes using Ui Panels.

We solicit interested parties to join our ecosystem of Ui Builders- System integrators, installation partners.

Women and youth in particular can consider taking up building Ui homes as their own business

Our website: ui.ltd This is a small piece of the thermo-set sheet that I'm holding in my hand. These sheets are manufactured in standard 8'x4' size at thickness of 8/12/16/18/...40 mm thickness.

Shredded bits of MLP waste (tetra pack, Lays potato chips cover and other similar food products packaging) are washed and then pressed in our machines at high temperatures and pressure for a certain duration of time

During which these tiny bits fuse with each other.

After cooling, these sheets attain extremely interesting mechanical properties. They are very strong, almost unbreakable, and very easy to drive in a screw/nail. It has an extremely high nail-screw holding capacity.

The sheets can be cut into thin strips using industrial cutting-sawing machines

We arrange the strips between 2 full length sheets to construct a honeycomb shaped structure as a sandwich.

When the 2 sheets and the honeycomb structure are finally bound together, we get our modular Ui panels.

Dear India,

Let's discuss the #ElectoralBondsScam .

It is better to address this world's largest scam and an umbrella scam under which many many other scams are awaiting to be exposed. This super scam by #ModiGovt falls foul against the framework of the following Acts.

- Representatives of People Act (RoPA)
- The conduct of Election Rules 1961

The month of November 1971, 52 years ago, Very important events were happening in our country.

The year was 1971 and the month November.

“If India pokes its nose in Pakistan, US will not keep its trap shut. India will be taught a lesson.”
- Richard Nixon

“India regards America as a friend. Not a boss. India is capable of writing its own destiny. We know and are aware how to deal with each one according to circumstances.”
- Indira Gandhi

Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi articulated these exact words sitting with the US President Richard Nixon in the White House, while maintaining an eye-to-eye contact. This incident was narrated by the then Secretary of State and NSA, Henry Kissinger, in his autobiography. That was the day when the Indo-US joint media address was cancelled by Indira Gandhi who walked away from the White House in her inimitable style.

Kissinger, while ushering Indira Gandhi into her car, had commented, "Madam Prime Minister, don't you feel you could have been a little more patient with the President?"
Indira Gandhi replied, "Thank you, Mr. Secretary, for your valuable suggestion. Being a developing country, we have our backbones straight - & enough will and resources to fight all atrocities. We shall prove that days are gone when a power can rule and often control any nation from thousands of miles away.”

To put the depth of depravity in perspective, according to the State of Inequality Report, an Indian earning Rs. 3 lakh per annum would be placed in the top 10% of wage earners.

In contrast, the richest 1% own more than 40% of the national wealth.

The wealthiest 10% of Indians… https://t.co/MzQDwQcdMwtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Consumerism driven climate crisis: In terms of usage, the top 1% has a disproportionate carbon footprint.

The bottom half of the population is responsible for carbon emissions of around 1 metric tonne per annum, while the richest 1% of Indians emit 32.4 metric tonnes per annum… https://t.co/vXpualpXOLtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The Manipuri Dance, also referred to as the Manipuri Raas Leela of the Meitei community , is a jagoi and is one of the eight major Indian classical dance forms, originating from the state of Manipur.

The people of #Karnataka have decided to give the mandate to #Congress party to Govern the state for the next 5 years.

Higher voter turnout will advantage the party even further.

#Women #Youth #Lingayats and socially marginalized classes are favoring Congress. The fight in Bagalkot District is largely Congress versus BJP in the 7 constituencies - Mudhol (SC), Terdal, Jamkhandi, Bilgi, Badami, Bagalkot and Hungund.

The #Congress wave is strong here. The projection of 5 seats for Congress out of 7 is a new high

More than 40% of the wealth created in the country from 2012 to 2021 had gone to just 1% of the population while only 3% had trickled down to the bottom 50%.

The wealth held by the top five percent is 61.7%, nearly 20 times greater than the 3% held by the bottom half. An Indian earning a monthly wage of Rs 25,000 is among the top 10 percent of earners in the country.

The average income of 90% of Indians is ~Rs 12,000 per month, and for the bottom 50% (which is 600 million people), it is Rs 4500 per month.

The Election Commission of India is an autonomous constitutional authority responsible for administering Union and State election processes in India.

It administers elections to the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, State Legislative Assemblies and President & Vice President of India Holding periodic, free and fair elections are essentials of a democratic system and a part of the basic structure of the Constitution.

The commission issued the Code of Conduct for the first time in 1971 for the 5th Lok Sabha elections and has revised it from time to time.

The Finance Commissions is periodically constituted by the President of India under Article 280 of the Indian Constitution to define the financial relations between the Union government & the individual state governments.

India-Union of States strengthens from this collaboration Finance Commission is required to make recommendations on:

(i) sharing of central taxes with states, (ii) distribution of central grants to states
(iii) measures to improve the finances of states to supplement the resources of panchayats and municipalities
(iv) any other matters

This thread is about India's fiscal deficit.

Fiscal deficit is calculated by deducting total receipts from total expenditure.

The deficit occurs when the Govt spends more than it earns.

आमदनी अठन्नी खर्चा रुपय्या During the 10 months of FY 2022-23 Govt is falling short by 11.91 Lakh Crores against the expenditure that it has made.

Revenue (~Income) deficit, against revenue expenditure widened to Rs. 6.78 Lakh Crores

Dear India,

As per National Statistical Office (NSO) reports on Tuesday, our GDP in the 3rd quarter of 2022-23 is estimated at Rs 40.19 lakh crore.

Compared to a GDP growth of 6.3% during 2nd Qtr, this is a Sharp decline of 4.4% compared to corresponding periods last year. NSO calculates GDP growth at constant (2011-12) prices which means that the growth is calculated without factoring inflation on the products included.

Hinduism is a way of life, not just a religion.

There is no bigotry in it.

We have assimilated all cultures. Let's not break it up by such kind of petitions.

Have the country in mind, not just religion.

That's what Supreme Court Judge KM Joseph told the Government yesterday This is such a beautiful perspective.

I was born into a family that practiced faith in Christ for religious worship since 52 AD. that is for the past 1,971 years.

My childhood friend Syed Ismail is from a lineage whose ancestors adopted Islam in 629 AD, that's 1,394 years back

Dear India,

#ModiGovt 's headlines management through a pliable media has tried to take your attention away from some dangerous situation that our Nation is suffering from.

Allow me to update you on one extremely important topic - India's Forex reserves.

Why do we need Forex? We need reserved of foreign currencies with the RBI to meet our

A. Import expenses
B. Repayment of external debts

While @PMOIndia refuses to answer about his direct role that caused massive wiping out of Billions of Dollars from investors in Adani Group shares and their other stake holders, pressures from the Supreme Court has forced SEBI to initiate a probe.

👇 SBIs response to SEBI BJP IT Cell projects through its WhatsApp groups that the loss impacts only a handful of people who invest and trade in shares. That it does not affect most people because they do not invest in shares.

That's a lie. The loss in value of Adani Shares hits Banks net worth
