(Online Course) Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012: Sci & Tech Issues - 1000 Genome [Wide Association Studies Lack Global Coverage]

Posted: 07 Sep 2012 11:02 PM PDT


Science and Technological Issues

1000 Genome-wide Association Studies Lack Global Coverage

Ever since the human genome was successfully sequenced, scientists have found over 1,000 regions on the genome that have an association with traits such as disease susceptibility and response to medication. This information alone would be of little use, without knowing why certain populations or ethnic groups are more at risk for a particular condition than another population. Hence it is important to find the differences in the DNA sequence (genetic variations) between populations that make some groups vulnerable and some other resistant to certain diseases/conditions.

(Online Course) GS Concepts : Energy - Wind Energy Programme in India

Posted: 07 Sep 2012 10:42 PM PDT


Subject : Environment
Chapter : Energy

Topic: Wind Energy Programme in India

The Wind power programme in India was initiated towards the end of the Sixth Plan, in 1983-84. A market-oriented strategy was adopted from inception, which has led to the successful commercial development of the technology. The broad based National programme includes wind resource assess-ment activities; research and development support; implementation of demonstration projects to create awareness and opening up of new sites; involvement of utilities and industry; development of infrastructure capability and capacity for manufacture, installation, operation and maintenance of wind electric generators; and policy support. The programme aims at catalyzing commercialisation of wind power generation in the country. The Wind Resources Assessment Programme is being implemented through the State Nodal Agencies, Field Research Unit of Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM-FRU) and Center for Wind Energy Technology (C-WET).
Wind in India are influenced by the strong south-west summer monsoon, which starts in May-June, when cool, humid air moves towards the land and the weaker north-east winter monsoon, which starts in October, when cool, dry sir moves towards the ocean. During the period march to August, the winds are uniformly strong over the whole Indian Peninsula, except the eastern peninsular coast. Wind speeds during the period November to march are relatively weak, though higher winds are available during a part of the period on the Tamil Nadu coastline. 
A notable feature of the Indian programme has been the interest among private investors/developers in setting up of commercial wind power projects. The gross potential is 48,561 MW (source C-wet) and a total of about 14,158.00 MW of commercial projects have been established until March 31, 2011.
The break-up of projects implemented in prominent wind potential states (as on March 31, 2011) is as given below
