"#Logistics is not a #virtual business, but a #real business. If you do not have networking among different institutions, you can’t utilise technology fully, says @nsivasailam, Special Secretary (Logistics), Ministry of Commerce during #DataAIForum by @ibm_in @eletsonline

The key issue is commercialisation of the technology! IITM has also developed the technology for 5G chip! Extensive State investment is required to develop commercial product from these Lab Prototypes!
IIT Madras registers initial success with iron ion battery.
While lithium ions are the charge carriers in lithium ion battery, the Fe2+ ions perform that function in the case of iron ion battery.- The Hindu https://t.co/eKCHmuUyiL
Felt nice to be in the premier institute that I joined briefly as a Graduate Student in 1982. The class of 2021 that I addressed were well informed. They asked me some questions. Hope the answers provided food for thought!

Deeply mourn the death of Jaipal Reddy Ji. He was the Urban Development Minister during the best of the early part of the building of Namma Metro. He took keen interest in Namma Metro progress. He was an inspirational Minister. RIP Sir. But We will miss you immensely.
Deeply saddened to hear about the demise of former Union Minister #JaipalReddy. A gentleman of the Parliament, his contribution as a 7-time MP, and 4-time MLA will be remembered by the nation.
May his soul rest in peace.
At CII’s First Rail Connect Conference.Thx CII for mainstreaming Railways. Min Angadi’s address was passionate & encouraging. Chmn Yadav’s insightful & pragmatic keynote address,kickstarted the Conference.Co-Chair Sachin’s address was exuberant,Rao’s reminded of challenges ahead!
RT FollowCII: RT CIIEnergy: "Indian Railways needs more investment, private participation & freight transport to augment infra & services. Govt is committed to market-friendly mechanisms & ease of doing business"~ Sh Suresh Angadi, MoS RailMinIndia Sure…
Dankuni Leg of Eastern Freight Corridor is yet to be contracted! The entire investment in EFC May be rendered infructuous! I am sure FC and MD IRFC is having it at the back of his mind! Bit surprised that this important aspect has been underplayed!
Suggest that Railways PRIORITISE FREIGHT as a matter of policy. Freight needs to reflect market competition so that modal shift takes place in favour of RailFreight. This will provide more revenues too for increased amenities for passenger travel. Let’s make a beginning!
Plastic is a wonder material. It will be prudent to identify a social system for recycling WASTE plastics rather than banning it as if it was a great bane thereby creating a mental aversion to enjoying its immense use.Banning plastic bottles is imposing your views on others!
I had tweeted about banning plastic water bottles in my office & I suppose that could apply to a number plastic products around us. But good to see people creatively recycling stuff as well!
@nsivasailam You will also be interested in this 'access' map, by different modes, to each of the Metro stations. https://t.co/pkslZxptnV Click on the 'Access Score' icon to see the full set, or you can through it station by station from the list.
Would be interested in it from the point of view of intra-city logistics. First-mile and Last-mile Logistics costs inefficiencies add substantial costs. They need to be addressed by systemic planning urgently. Density maps in the transport domain may help.
Density maps of different kinds of infra in the city - here's one for health facilities. A full stack across different domains (health, transport, tourism, safety, etc) should be ready this week for BLR. Being script-driven on map data, we can repeat the exercise for every city.
Extremely happy to share with you - started filling up of 13 lakes in Jala Hobli of BTPura constituency with treated waste water from BLR. This will recharge depleted ground water, help increase green cover, boost agriculture,nurture plants, birds, animals.#VisionByatarayanapura
