RENEWABLE ENERGY - 15 Minutes Seminar Notes
RENEWABLE ENERGY - 15 Minutes Seminar Notes
Renewable energy sources are natural energy sources which do not get used up
There are many different forms of renewable energy
- Wind energy
- solar energy
- Bio energy
- Ocean energy
- Hydro electricity
WIND ENERGY
- The energy that travels in the wind can be captured and converted to provide electricity
- Wind turbines are used to create electricity from the energy in the wind
- Wind turbines are located in onshore (occupying on land) and offshore (situated from sea)
SOLAR ENERGY
It is reasonably predictable and is not associated with any environment risk
There are two main ways that solar energy is used in our buildings
- Solar heat
- Solar electricity
Solar light (light from the sun) can be exploited in building design to even further minimisethe need for artificial lighting during daylight hours
OCEAN ENERGY
- Ocean energy uses the power from the sea to create electricity
- It uses energy from waves from tidal currents
- Ireland has one of the greatest energy resources in the world
BIO ENERGY
- Bio energy is energy which comes biomass (plant and other organic material)
- It can be converted into methane gas and certain plants can be converted to fuel and special cars can be run on this biofuel
HYDRO ELECTRICITY
- A dam is build to trap water, usually in a valley where there is an existing lake
- Water is allowed to flow through tunnels in the dam , to turn turbines and thus drive generators
- Hydro electric power stations can produce a great deal of power very cheaply
- Three Gorges Dam (2003) China
- Itaipu Dam (1984) by Brazil and Paraguay

Public Sector Banks - 15 Minutes Seminar Notes
Public Sector Banks - 15 Minutes Seminar Notes
What are public sector banks?
- Public sector banks are the banks where a majority stake is held by a government.
- The shares of these banks are listed on stock exchanges.
Emergence of public sector banks:
- The central government entered the banking business with the nationalization of the imperial Bank Of Indian in 1955.
- A 60% stake was taken by the RBI and the new bank was named as the State Bank of India.
- The seven other state banks became the subsidiaries of the new bank when nationalized on 19th July 1960.
- The next major nationalization of banks took place in 1969 when nationalized an additional 14 major banks.
- The next round of nationalization took place in April 1980. The government nationalized 6 banks
Some nationalization banks are:
Union Bank of India
- Uco Bank
- SBI Bank
- Indian Overseas Bank
- Indian Bank
- Central Bank of India
- Canara Bank of India
- Bank of Maharashtra
- Bank of India
- Bank of Baroda
Which is the largest public sector bank in India?
SBI bank
Why should one choose public sector banks?
- They are safe and people who are keeping money in fixed deposit and saving account do not have to worry.
- Less hidden charges and also lower limit of amount to be held as minimum deposit as far as in saving account . So for example in case of private banks minimum balance to be maintained is anywhere between 5000 to 20000 rupees whereas in case of public sector banks it is 1000 and in case of student account and no frill account it is 0.
Who gives the best deal in loans?
Processing charges: Processing chargers are cheaper in the case of government bank. State Bank of India is charging a home loan processing fee of 0.25 per cent on loan up to Rs 25 lakhs. Home loan processing fee at private sector banks can be high as 1 percent.
Interest rate fluctuation: They keep same policies for all loan customers and decreased rate is effective for existing customers also almost immediately.
Prepayment period: They do not have any such clause.
You can start prepaying from day 2 of loan itself.
Prepayment charges: Public sector banks do not charge you a penny to prepay.
Prepayment amount: Again, no such clause here. You can prepay any amount which you like.

- India forayed into space research back in 1962 when INCOSPAR (Indian National Committee for Space Research) was established in 1962 by India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and the ‘father of Indian space programme’ Vikram Sarabhai under the Department of Atomic Energy.
- The Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) in Thiruvananthapuram was then established for upper atmospheric research in 1963. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) replaced INCOSPAR in 1969.
- The aim was to use space technology to push forward national development while undergoing space science research and planetary exploration.
- The Department of Space (DOS) and the Space Commission were set up in 1972 and ISRO was brought under DOS on June 1, 1972.
- The first Indian satellite, Aryabhata, was built by the ISRO and launched with the help of the Soviet Union on April 19, 1975. Bhaskara Sega-I, India’s second satellite was also launched with Soviet assistance.
- Rohini was launched in 1980, becoming the first Indian satellite to be successfully placed in the orbit by SLV-3, an India-made launch vehicle.
ISRO’s contributions in India’s space research:-
- India is striving towards self-reliant space applications and ISRO has developed a cost-effective and reliable satellite launch system – of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) to this effort. It is now used by several countries and promotes international collaboration in space research.
- The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) was also developed with the aim of launching heavier and more demanding Geosynchronous communication satellites.
- Thanks to ISRO, India now has several space research centres and autonomous institutions for remote sensing, astronomy, astrophysics, atmospheric sciences, and space sciences in general which are functioning under the Department of Space.
- The ISRO’s lunar and interplanetary missions and other projects continue to generate crucial scientific data which are extremely valuable to the scientific community.
- ISRO is moving into the future of space research in India with the development of heavy lift launchers, human spaceflight projects, reusable launch vehicles, semi-cryogenic engines, single and two stage to orbit (SSTO and TSTO) vehicles, development and use of composite materials for space applications etc.
Important point about SPACE RESEARCH:-
- first Indian to travel in space was Squadron Leader Rakesh Sharma (Soyuz T-11 Vehicle).
