2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi

Since last four five years everybody knows that Delhi is going to host the most prestigious Commonwealth Games 2010 and government has already made lots of efforts for the same. Thousand crores of rupees have been spent to raise infrastructure for the games but still as per the international standards and commonwealth games managing committee Delhi is not ready till date and now when only one and half year (approx.) is available with us what we can hope. I think government will spend extra money and put too much extra man power to complete infrastructure related projects. Few fortnights back their is a news that Delhi do not have sufficient number of hotels to accommodate the commonwealth games visitors. Metro is also not connected to International Airport and Commonwealth Games Village and stadium hosting various events. Many flyover and road projects are also running long behind their schedules and about traffic management it is hard to say anything. Nobody knows what the government have planned for traffic management. Regarding cleaning of River Yamuna Delhi Government is working since last 5-10 years as per the instruction of Courts but the results are zero.  I think India should work with the help of experts of Beijing Olympics so that we we will India can present an example in front of whole world about its claim for next Olympics.

Will Delhi be ready?

Happy Christmas to all of you.?

Think Green / Save Energy

Recently I received a mail containing speech of Former President of India Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam regarding Power saving. Following are the contents : Please read and implement the steps in your office

 

Dear ISC Members,


I am presenting a article which came to me in my office email id regarding the Power Saving speech given by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. I am writing this resource as it.
a Think Green Initiative
Be the Change you want to see!
To all those who do not TURN OFF their
PCs, ACs & Lights before leaving the office....
Most of use from the IT field do one thing before leaving for the day from office, Press CTRL+ALT+DEL and leave happily. That means your PC is still ON.
One Normal PC in Sleep Mode (Hibernation) will consume 35Watts/hour. Based on this let's do a small calculation.
For One week, 24*7=168 Hours. Of this if we consider that we are working for 68 hours, then the PC is in Sleep Mode for 100 hours a week.
For one month, 4*100=400 hours. In a normal IT office, if we assume approximately 250 PCs are there, 250*400=1,00,000 hours (Sleep Mode), So power wasted in an office in a month is 1,00,000*35=3500KWH or units. If the charge per unit is Indian Rs 6, then totally the wastage value is approximately Indian Rs 21,000.
Here the sad thing is not the money loss to the company but the power loss to the country. (Hope no company bothered about this procedure of keeping the
system in sleep mode)
Apart from the loss to the country, we need to think of the efforts people are putting for producing the power in Mines, Thermal Stations, Hydro Electric Stations etc. If this is to continue, the cost of unit will go up, at one stage, we will not get power even if we are ready to pay any cost.
So, before leaving office, take some time to shut down the PC and do some favour to the COUNTRY
and the organisation.


If you feel that this point is to be considered, forward this to all your friends.

**Source - email received in my Office. I request Editors to Approve this Resource.
So Members, I think we can help our Country at least by doing this favour.

 

I would like to say that if you can not implement the steps in your organisation please implement it at your own seat, as the individual initiative also makes a big difference.
