Sir, Till what rank one will get IPS?
- Thirupura Sundari
Normally, after the final result is cleared, successful candidates are allotted
the service based on their rank and their preference given in the mains

Dear Sir, I want to know about Medical Sciences as an optional
paper. I am a dental Graduate, currently doing my internship, and my knowledge
of medical subjects is confined to in and around the mouth (at the max. about
head and neck) even though we read about all the main medical Subjects. I don't
want to change my optionals.
-Thimme Gowda
There is a strategy already available in the site. First go through it. Then go through the detailed syllabus and the previous years question papers of Medical Sciences. This will give an idea about the subject, whether to select a particular subject or not.
Here you have to keep one thing in the mind - only Medical Graduates will appear with this subject. Can you withstand with them? When there is a competition among the specialists, one has to double sure before opting for the subject. One has to top among the fellow optional holders, so that the chances of getting selected is bright. This is a running race, not the qualifying exam/University exam.
For the first optional, you have to think about it. The success ratio of History is far below standard. You can think of opting for Sociology/ Zoology (As this subject will be easy for you as you have some background). Still, whenever you have a doubt, you are always welcome to clear them with us.
Please follow the common strategy (Litmus Test i.e.

Dear Sir, What is the success ratio of students of Commerce
& Accountancy, Public Administration, and Geography as per the UPSC? I had
commerce stream in my class XII. So giving 3-4 months time to the syllabus of
Commerce & Accountancy which has not been covered by the class XII Syllabus
of CBSE is sufficient for good preparation of the subject. Is the level of
toughness of the IAS exam of Commerce & Accountancy is equivalent, less or
more tough when compared with C.A. & I.C.W.A exams? Please Advice.
- Kathiyaini
The Success Ratio also varies from year to year. The analysis is based on the latest available record. These all are for the Main Exam only.
The Success Ratio of Commerce and Accountancy is 1:9.75; Public Administration is 1:12.69; Geography is 1:9.1
The syllabus of Civil Services Exam is of M.Com standard. We don't think that can be compared with 12th Commerce stream.
Regarding the Exams of CA, ICWA one has to pass, so it is tough in that aspect. In the Civil Services, it is the score matters. Here, it is a running race, one has to compete with many for few posts. So, first go through the detailed syllabus and previous years question papers, which will give an idea. Read the Strategy column in the blog. We hope your doubt is cleared.

IICT Srinagar :
in Pursuit of Excellence in Carpet Industry in J&K
The Indian Institute of Carpet
Technology Srinagar (IICT) is an ISO 9001:2008 certified autonomous institute,
established by office of the Development Commissioner (Handicrafts), Ministry
of textiles, Government of India and the Department of Industries &
Commerce (Directorate of Handicrafts), Government of Jammu & Kashmir. The
IICT, Srinagar
has been set up to provide technical support and development support to the
carpet industries specific to Jammu & Kashmir.
The main activities of IICT Srinagar
revolve around Human Resource & Development (HRD), Research & Development
(R&D), Design Creation and Development (DCD)and other Technical services to
the industry. The IICT, Srinagar is a satellite centre of Institute of Carpet
technology, Bhadohi, UP. The institute commenced functioning in the year
2004-05. It is managed by an Executive Committee headed by Principal Secretary,
Industries and Commerce, J&K Government.
Carpet Designs & Talim Scripts
IICT has introduced a modern technique which is a locally developed
Carpet Design Software, in the field of carpet designing wherein carpet designs
are automatically converted into Talim Scripts (a unique Coded Pattern).
The designs herein
created and developed are preserved for ever. This innovation has eased the
design work enormously as it used to take months together for a group of
persons comprising of Naqash (Designer), Talim Writer and a Talim Copyist to make the carpet design of standard size and to
transfer the design drafted on graph paper (outline only) into the coded
pattern known as talim in the local language. With the help of this technology,
one can view the complete design on the monitor of a computer before actually
going for manufacture.
Modern Carpet Loom
After an extensive research for more than four years (2005-2008), the
Institute conceived the design of Modern Carpet Loom, first of its kind in the
entire country, and developed its one prototype. This was aimed at improving
the working conditions of the carpet artisans. The necessary testing and trial runs of this prototype
were conducted at the Institute for more than two years and its working was
observed on regular basis. After additional trial runs in more than 100 carpet
training centres of State and Central Government were conducted to make them
user friendly, these looms were approved for introduction in the carpet
industry of the State.
Subsequently, Office of Development Commissioner (Handicrafts), Ministry
of Textiles, Government of India has earmarked funds to the tune of 32.0 Crores
for the introduction of 8000 such looms in the carpet Industry under Mega
Carpet Cluster Project as per funding pattern of 80:20 as the share of
Government of India and State Government respectively which implies that Modern
Carpet Loom along with the sitting bench shall be made available to the
artisans free of cost.
The Institute has distributed first consignment of 500 Modern Carpet
Looms in 10 districts of Kashmir division (50
looms/district) in July 2012.
Skill Up-gradation
To educate and upgrade their skill and broaden their information &
Knowledge base, IICT has devised Skill Up-gradation/Orientation Training/
Design Workshop programmes for over 1700 persons comprising of Artisans,
Designers, Talim Writers, Washer-men etc. This will help in manufacturing best quality carpets as per the current market
requirements which in turn will address the issue of low economic returns to
the artisans.
Infrastructural Facilities
The Institute has set up Design Studio with latest digital equipments
wherein 561 Carpet and 107 Kani Shawl Designs in the digital form were
developed with the application of Carpet Design Software. IICT generated
revenue of Rs 13.17 Lacs from the industry while providing these on nominal
charges.
Library has been set up with relevant books and magazines of
international repute for the reference of Industry & trade. Design Bank has
been set up for the carpet craft in the digital format wherein 287 old/traditional
carpet designs presently available in the form of manually written Talim
paper scripts (coded pattern)
have been digitised so far. The digitised designs are preserved forever and can
be recreated as per the current market requirements. Besides, Testing
Laboratory for Physical and Chemical Testing of raw materials like Silk, Wool,
Cotton etc., has been set up.
A detailed research study has been completed by the Institute to look
for ways and means to streamline the process of carpet washing which has
remained unchanged since centuries together and to standardise the use of
chemicals and auxiliaries to improve the finishing of carpets.
Integrated Skill Development Scheme (ISDS)
The Institute has introduced two unique Short and Long term courses under
Integrated Skill Development Scheme (ISDS) of Ministry of Textiles, Government
of India. Under the programme, over four thousand persons shall be trained,
over a period of five years, with the objective to develop a trained human
resource for the carpet Industry in Kashmir
division. Besides, it is aimed to create additional self employment
opportunities for the educated unemployed youth in the Handicrafts sector by
providing them requisite technical and entrepreneurial skills so that they
could set up their own income generating units for the growth and development
of the Carpet Industry.
Under the scheme, 4200 candidates from eight districts of Kashmir
division viz Anantnag, Bandipora, Baramulla, Budgam, Ganderbal, Kulgam, Pulwama
& Srinagar, shall be trained under four months Certificate Course in Carpet
Manufacturing (CCCM) and 100
candidates shall be trained under One year Diploma in Carpet Technology &
Entrepreneurship Development (DCTED). The scheme is in progress since January
2012.
Mega Carpet Cluster Project
A massive Skill up-gradation and Capacity Building programme under Mega
Carpet Cluster project sanctioned by Office of the Development Commissioner

Free Essays for Competitive Exams-E-Toilets from Kerala in Jammu and Kashmir
E-Toilets from Kerala in
Jammu and Kashmir
Kerala's own electronic
toilets (e-toilets), one of the prominent innovations of the state in public
health, hygiene and sanitation sector, would now be seen featured at the scenic
an snow covered valleys of Jammu and Kashmir also.
Developed by Eram Scientific Solutions,
the Thiruvananthapuram based scientific R&D firm, the e-toilets for Jammu
& Kashmir region has been customized as per the region's own geographical
and sub-zero climatic conditions in response to J&Ks tourism departments
request for setting up e-Toilets in the State. The e-Toilets would be set up at
Affarwat and Gulmarg. Affarwat
is one of the world's highest locations which uses cable car using gondolas at
a height of over 4000 ft above sea level and the only one location in the world
that takes skiers to a height of 4,390 metres.
In addition to the e-toilets,
specifically designed STPs (Sewage Treatment Plants) would also be set up at DalLake to address its waste treatment woes. A
2.5 ton container loaded with the e-toilet and STP components would be leaving
from Thiruvananthapuram to Jammu and Kashmir . Eram
Scientific has designed customized e-toilets which can function in sub-zero
temperatures, even at -55o. In order to function at this sort of
extreme cold temperatures, military grade equipments have been used in the
customized e-toilet model. Eram Scientific has successfully implemented over
400 e-toilets in various parts of the country.
The e-toilets are designed on the lines
of the Australian National Public Toilet Map. The user, could view the toilet map
via the Internet or the cell phone, select the nearest toilet station, set a
parking space, make payment, view the timings and get other details on allied
facilities.
The company has entered into an
association with the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore for further research and development
of e-toilets.
The collaborative work will focus on
structural analysis and design verification of these toilets.
Need for a Sustainable Intervention
in Sanitation sector
Urban and
Semi Urban areas -These areas face severe problems with respect to standard
public toilets, cleanliness and better sanitation amenities in particular. The
cities and towns being overpopulated pose severe health hazards arising due to
unhygienic conventional sanitation methods being followed in these areas. The
introduction of the proposed sanitation system would radically change the
plight of the existing toilets and public sanitation system in place.
Social Relevance
- Unhygienic sanitation cause infection and related diseases especially in
women and children. The level of privacy, dignity and safety for women can be
rendered in the best possible manner by installing Electronic Public Toilets in
all possible public locations.
Unhygienic
Tourist Spots - Tourism is also facing the ill-effects of the deplorable
sanitation conditions in the country. Several tourist spots and connecting
roads are a pity to the country and are causing discomfort for the tourists.
Chances of getting infected with severe communicable diseases in the Indian
streets do create doubts for the tourists in choosing it as their destination.
eToilet, India ’s First Electronic Public
Toilet
Through this unique product, the company
has attempted to address the inherent challenges of public sanitation. In a
perfect situation, a public toilet should have the capabilities to address
waste management, effective water usage and sustainability as core challenges
among various other issues. eToilet is positioned as the perfect solution which
addresses all these effectively; it is cost effective, appropriate and suitable
for the geographic and demographic patterns of any location. It is working on a
mission to have all Indian Cities with modern sterilized public sanitation
system. To further improve Urban Sanitation Infrastructure, such projects with
huge social relevance are inevitable.
The Innovation
The idea was to develop an eco-friendly
public sanitation system for the Indian sub-continent based on a novel
convergence of electronic, mobile, web and bio technologies, for serving as an
affordable, sustainable and effective public toilet service in India . eToilet is positioned as the ultimate
solution to ensure public toilets across the country are maintained
hygienically, with the minimum of manual intervention, and substantial energy
and water savings as well. The e-Toilet works on total auto mode: The insertion
of a coin opens the door for the user, switches on the light - thus saving
energy - and even directs the user with audio commands. The toilets are
programmed to flush 1.5 liters of water if the user takes up to 3 minutes, and
4.5 liters of water if the usage is longer. They can also be programmed to
clean the platform after every 5 or 10 persons use the toilet. The e-Toilet is
the result of a convergence of electronics, web and mobile technologies,
featuring automated door opening, power flushing, automatic closet washing and
sterilization, and automatic platform cleaning mechanism, all backed by SMS
alerts to inform the control room about the status of water tank and bio gas
plant in the event of any errors or failures through which the downtime can be
minimized. The solid and liquid wastes are treated scientifically. A
bio-membrane reactor is used to treat solid wastes and the water used is
purified for reuse. The uniqueness of the solution lies in the built-in
electronic innovations that will facilitate self cleaning of the toilets with
minimum water usage, and treatment of solid waste and water with an environment
friendly sewage treatment solution.
Highlights of the Project
As on date, appropriate and cost
effective technology is not used anywhere in India in the sanitation sector –
eToilet is a model that is a hybrid one, synergizing technologies in
Electronics, Mechanical, Information Technology, etc., for a very cost
effective and modular
design.
Automatic un-manned toilet (Wet type)
is an innovation in India ; it is
especially important as the unit has the capabilities for self washing and
sterilization. Sterilization will be helpful in containing serious communicable
diseases.
Use of Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) for the management of the unit incorporating GPRS
facilities.
eToilet also incorporates a unique
advertisement revenue model which ensures the unit’s sustainability and adds to
its ambience. The ad panels offer manifold revenue opportunities as this is a
highly lucrative model especially in metros and several public locations. Also
the units have the capability of adopting high-tech advertisement displays such
as revolving ads which adds to its aesthetics and sustainability. This
sustainability model is highly relevant in a tourist spot, where employment
opportunities can be created and extra cleanliness can be ensured, with the
income thus generated.
eToilet covers all the three aspects of
quality of life, efficiency and environment protection. eToilet is aimed at
improving the quality of life of the public; i.e. the wellness of the people by
providing clean, hygienic state-of-the-art sanitation facilities which
overrides the traditional public toilets. Though the unit is fully automated,
it does not create any kind of usage barrier to the normal user. Efficiency is
brought into practice through its unique futuristic approach woven with an
intention to preserve our precious resources such as water, electricity and
managing waste through effective and efficient sewage treatment techniques. It
is also a cost-effective mechanism to ensure proper public sanitation facility
in highly populated regions. The average life of a unit is estimated to be
around 7-10 years and thus it offers durability. Also the deployment of such
units will provide employment opportunities for many. This will help many
people to earn their livelihood. Environment is protected through eToilet’s
Green technology focus and is all set to emerge with a matchless ‘green model’
through a linkage with Indian Institute of Science.
400+ units of e-Toilet are installed in
various locations of our country. The commercial production of the same started
during the first quarter of 2010 to provide world class sanitation facility for
tourists. Eram has
installed e-toilets in various parts of Kerala and Greater Noida. Another 300 is under implementation
and will be operational within next two months. Each system is used by an average of
130 peoples per day. The
company has now entered into technology transfer agreement with South
Africa and
marketing arrangement with Nigeria and Botswana .
High Impact Projects
eToilet is now evolving as a sustainable
project for providing clean and hygienic urban infrastructure. Various
Government Departments in Kerala have been implementing large scale projects
for providing sustainable technology based urban sanitation projects.
The Women’s’ Development Corporation
of Government of Kerala is setting up over 200 eToilets christened as
she-toilet for women.
Public Works Department is setting up
Eve’s own eToilet across the stretch of its highways in Kerala.
Kerala Tourism Department plans to set
up eToilet network along its premium tourist destinations.
Eram is also setting up Highway
amenity centers for tourists in over 30 destinations in Kerala.
Pathanamthitta District in Kerala is India ’s first District with a
connected eToilet Infrastructure (CeTI) where the locations of toilets and
their operational status can be viewed over a web based map. This is more useful to a tourist who
travels with their families. Connected
e-Toilets would communicate over a GPRS system and they are accessible over a
mobile or internet for locating them. The
e-Toilets can provide information about its working status, whether for male or
female, whether changing stations for babies are available and other facilities
and the distance from the location specified can be provided.
The company has recently won a whopping
grant of over $ 4,50,000 from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation to set up
eco friendly and hygienic e-Toilets making public conveniences more accessible
to the urban poor. The prototyped e-toilet was developed under
Technopreneur promotion programme (Tepp) of Department of Scientific and Industrial
Research of Government of India by Technopark, Thiruvananthapuram promoted by
Government of Kerala. The innovation got grant in aid from Government of India
for the prototype development and after completing the working models, this
technology has been transferred to Eram Scientific Solutions for comercialising
the technology.
