Q.2. Unseen passage
Necessity is indeed the mother of invention. When areas in and around Leh began to experience water shortages, life did not grind to a halt, why? Because Chewang Norphel, a retired civil engineer in the Jammu and Kashmir Government came up with the idea of artificial glaciers, Ladakh, a cold desert at an attitude of 3,000-3,500 metres above sea level, as a low average annual rainfall rate of 50 mm. Glaciers have always been the only source of water. Agriculture is completely dependent on glacier melt unlike the rest of river/monsoon fed India. But over the years with increasing effects of climate change, rainfall and snowfall patterns have been changing, resulting in severe shortage and drought situations. Given the severe winter conditions, the window for forming is usually limited to one harvest season.

Q.3. Note making (title+notes)
Biogas is a mixture of methan (a, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and hydrogen sulphid, the major constituent being methane. Biogas is produced by anaerobic degradation of animal wastes (sometimes plant wastes) in the presence of water. Anaerobic degradation means break-down of organic matter by bacteria in the absence of oxygen. Biogas is a non-polluting, clean and low-cost fuel which is very useful for rural areas where a lot of animal waste and agriculture waste are avalable. India has the largest cattle population in the world (240 million) and has tremendous potential for biogas production. From cattle dung alone, we can produce biogas of a magnitude of 22,500 mm3 annually, Air-tight digestion/ degradation of animal waste is safe as it eliminates health hazards which normally occur in case of direct use of dung due to direct exposure to faecal pathogens and parasite.

In democratic countries, any effort to restrict the freedom of the press are rightly criticized.Howe 11/43 freedom can be easily abused. Stories about people often attract far more public attention than political events. Though we may enjoy reading about the lives of others, it is extremely doubtful weather we would equally enjoy reading about ourselves. Acting on the basis that facts are sacred, reporters can cause untold sufferings to individuals by publishing details about their private lives. Newspapers have such a great influence that not only can they bring about major changes to the lives of ordinary people but can even over throw the government.
