Renewable energy

Renewable energy is energy that can be replenished easily. For years we have been using sources like wood, sun, water, etc. for means for producing energy. Energy that can be produced by natural objects like wood, sun, wind, etc. is considered to be renewable.[1]

Water purification

Water purification: The whole idea/concept of having dirt/germ/pollution free water flowing throughout the environment. Many other phenomena lead from this concept of purification of water. Water pollution is the main enemy of this concept, and various campaigns and activists have been organized around the world to help purify water.[2]

Air purification

Air purification: Basic and common green plants can be grown indoors to keep air fresh because all plants remove CO2 and convert it intooxygen. The best examples are: Dypsis lutescens, Sansevieria trifasciata, and Epipremnum aureum.[3]

Sewage treatment

Sewage treatment is conceptually similar to water purification. Sewage treatments are very important as they purify water per levels of its pollution. The more polluted water is not used for anything, and the least polluted water is supplied to places where water is used affluently. It may lead to various other concepts of environmental protection, sustainability etc.[4]

Environmental remediation

Environmental remediation is the removal of pollutants or contaminants for the general protection of the environment. This is accomplished by various chemical, biological, and bulk movements. (encyclopedia of medical concepts)[5]

Solid waste management

Solid waste management is the purification, consumption, reuse, disposal and treatment of solid waste that is undertaken by the government or the ruling bodies of a city/town.[6]

eGain forecasting

Egain forecasting is a method using forecasting technology to predict the future weather's impact on a building.[7] By adjusting the heat based on the weather forecast, the system eliminates redundant use of heat, thus reducing the energy consumption and the emission ofgreenhouse gases.[8]

Energy conservation

Energy conservation is the utilization of devices that require smaller amounts of energy in order to reduce the consumption of electricity. Reducing the use of electricity causes less fossil fuels to be burned to provide that electricity.

History of Tamil cuisine(Regional Cuisine & Meals - Restaurant)

Regional Cuisine   [ edit ] Over a period of time, each geographical area where Tamils have lived has developed its own distinct variant of the common dishes in addition to dishes native to itself.

He particularly studies nature and the marine creatures, and wrote several books based on on his own observations. Unfortunately, his  thoughts and observations were paid undue attention even after his death so that some of his wrong observations and theories about nature continued  to hinder the growth of science for several centuries...

Raja raja chola I (Administration | Officials | Religious policy )

Administration Before the reign of Raja Raja I, parts of the Chola territory were ruled by hereditary lords and princes who were in a loose alliance with the Chola rulers.Raja Raja initiated a project of land survey and assessment in 1000 which led to the reorganization of the empire into units known as valanadus. From the reign of Raja Raja Chola I until the reign of  Vikrama Chola  in 1133, the hereditary lords and local princes were either replaced or turned into dependent officials. This led to the king exercising a closer control over the different parts of the empire. Rajaraja strengthened the local self-government and installed a system of audit and control by which the village assemblies and other public bodies were held to account while retaining their autonomy. [ To promote trade, he sent the first Chola mission to  China . Officials Rajendra Chola I  was made a co-regent during the last years of Rajaraja’s rule. He was the supreme ...
