1401, read the national tiger count when Ranger Singh joined Tiger Reserve, Bandhavgarh. He had an uphill task ahead to prove himself. A ragtag team, crumbling infrastructure and corrupt department seniors, nothing seemed to help. But then came a pleasant surprise – An unlikely friend who helps him find himself. ‘Ranger’ is a tale of friendship and commitment, of discovering self and the world; of protection and survival.
“Aap Akbhaar mein kaam karte ho, toh yeh batao, tel ka daam intna zayda kyo hai?” (you work for a paper, tell me why petrol/diesel price is so high), this question I have been asked more often than not. In fact, being a reporter covering oil ministry has not been easy. Even your family looks at you with accusation if the fuel prices go up. As days went by and I got more exposed to the working of this sector, I felt the need to pen down certain things which showcase what the sector is all about. For most economic reporters covering the Ministry of Finance is the ultimate. Well yes and no. If you have not tracked ministry of petroleum and natural gas you really don't know what economics is about, literally. Through this book I try to recount India's upstream journey. It is very important to know the role which KD Malaviya played, or what ONGC stands for, Why New Exploration Licensing Policy was a game changer, what an amazing player Cairn Energy was, what corporate war is, and finally how consistency in governance help. The book tells the story of India's upstream sector. Why producing your own oil and gas matters?

Experts often assume that the poor, hungry, rural, and/or precarious need external interventions. They frequently fail to recognize how the same people create politics and knowledge by living and honing their own dynamic visions. How might scholars and teachers working in the Global North ethically participate in producing knowledge in ways that connect across different meanings of struggle, hunger, hope, and the good life?Informed by over twenty years of experiences in India and the United States, Hungry Translations bridges these divides with a fresh approach to academic theorizing. Through in-depth reflections on her collaborations with activists, theatre artists, writers, and students, Richa Nagar discusses the ongoing work of building embodied alliances among those who occupy different locations in predominant hierarchies. She argues that such alliances can sensitively engage difference through a kind of full-bodied immersion and translation that refuses comfortable closures or transparent renderings of meanings. While the shared and unending labor of politics makes perfect translation--or retelling--impossible, hungry translations strive to make our knowledges more humble, more tentative, and more alive to the creativity of struggle.

This book is an endeavour to probe into the areas of Hindi syntax which have been rather under-explored in generative literature. It investigates the syntax and semantics of Hindi verbs and their argument structure alternations within the minimalist framework. In the course of this exploration it examines unaccusativity, unergativity, transitive, causative alternations and passives in Hindi. The book will be of interest to theoretical linguists and computational linguists, as well as to Hindi syntax specialists.

My chosen tears are better than your imposed smile, Why don’t you let me alone to cover that extra mile? This could be your own story written in the third person. Yes, this is a story that many of us can relate to, whether we are students, parents or working professionals. The characters and scenes in the story and the overall plot could seem familiar to many of us. This is not a story that tells you that bad things happen to good people. This is a story of a group of engineering students, from radically different backgrounds, coming together and trying to fit the pieces in the puzzle called life. They try to turn around their lives and twist their fortunes to make everything fall into place. Caged and chained by societal norms, they end up following the most traversed path. Those fallen breadcrumbs were the façade of the correct path, and they went on a crazy roller coaster ride of laughter, sorrow, fun, suspense and entertainment. And secrets too! What secrets? Read on to find out! “Suddenly, they heard a beautiful song played on Guitar, “Why the world will take decisions on my behalf? When my heart knows exactly where I live, love and Laugh.” “It was around 11:30 pm, and everyone in the house was sleeping when Akku was lamenting over his failed career.” “Lukesh is missing from the college.” “What if Tanmay spills our secret someday? What secret?”

Sustainability of environment is an emerging global issue at present. Unsustainable or deteriorating environment is a matter of concern as it has threatened the survival of living creatures. Recently, climate change has been matter of great concern at a global platform owing to imbalances in natural environment. Increasing population has increased the demand for energy, which has ultimately put pressure on natural resources and caused a paradigm shift from resource generation to exploitation. Emerging Energy Alternatives for Sustainable Environment aims to address the role of sustainable technologies in energy generation options for clean environment. It covers a wide spectrum of energy generation approaches, with an emphasis on five key topics: (i) renewable energy sources and recent advances, (ii) emerging green technologies for sustainable development, (iii) assessment of biomass for sustainable bioenergy production, (iv) solid waste management and its potential for energy generation, and (v) solar energy applications, storage system, and heat transfer. This book provides essential and comprehensive knowledge of green energy technologies with different aspects for engineers, technocrats and researchers working in the industry, universities, and research institutions. The book is also very useful for undergraduate and graduate students of science and engineering who are keen to know about the development of renewable energy products and their corresponding processes.

A Line Following Obstacle Avoiding Robot is a Robot which follows a distinguished colored path (black lined path) and if any obstruction is present/introduced in its path then the robot avoids its collision with the obstruction (usually by stopping before the obstruction or by changing path) using ultrasonic sensor, IR sensor and Arduino.These robots are pretty cheap and easy to design. Infrared Sensor is used to detect the black line on the path and Ultrasonic Sensor is used to detect obstructions on the path. The robot then responds to the sensor's reading and does something.This robot can follow a thick line of at least of 1 inch width perfectly and even follow the most complex path consisting of obtuse/acute angled turns and intersection of those black lines.
