India-Russia Nuclear Deal
India and Russia are exploring the possibility of setting up a joint fuel fabrication facility. The idea of setting up such a Russian designed facility in India is part of the Indo-Russian nuclear agreement signed on March 12. Dybov said one of main advantages of setting such an unit in India is that it will go a long way in reducing the fuel costs. Russia has already entered into an agreement with India for the supply of 2,000 tonnes of nuclear fuel to India starting from 2009. Tvel Corporation has been deputed to supply 210 tonnes of uranium in 2010-11.
Unique train numbering
The four-digit combination identifying every long distance mail or express chugging in and out of stations across the country is an address which links the engine and coaches to the zonal headquarters and then to their division. The first digit belongs to railway division. 0 is for Konkan Railway 1 is for CR, West Central Railway (Bhopal and Jabalpur division) and North Central Railway (Jhansi, Agra div) 2 is for superfasts, Shatabdi and Jan Shatabdi trains regardless of zones 3 is shared by Eastern Railway and East Central Railway (Hazipur div) 4 is for Northern Railway, North Central Railway (Allahabad div) and North West Railway (Bikaner div) 5 is shared by North Eastern Railway and North-east Frontier Railway 6 is for Southern Railway and South WR (Mysore and Bengaluru div) 7 is shared by South Central Railway and South Western Railway (Hubli div) 8 is for South Eastern Railway, South East Central (Bilaspur, Raipur and Nagpur) and East Coast Railway (Khoda, Sambalpur and Waltaire div) 9 is for Western Railway, North Western Railway (Ajmer, Jaipur, Kota and Jodhpur) and West Central Railway. The second digit here would then indicate which zone the train belongs to-Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Calcutta and Secunderbad. The last two digits do not follow any set rules or norms. However, the fourth digit would be odd or even depending on how the railway division numbers its Up and Down trains.
Below poverty line: Still a question mark
A whopping 782 million Indians will be living on less than $2 a day by 2015, a joint report by the World Bank and IMF said on Friday. The report, however, said the number of poor Indians living on less than $2 would moderately decline to 686 million by 2020. But the report adds that by the turn of the next decade 268 million Indians would be living on less than $1.25 a day, while in 2015, the figure would be 295 million. These figures, however, are almost double the revised number of the poor in the country which is pegged at 400 million.
