Technological solutions like water treatment plants and awareness campaigns are needed along with strict enforcement of laws and participation of local communities to successfully clean the river. Pollution has negatively impacted aquatic life and biodiversity in the river ecosystem.
Measures for prevention, control and abatement of environmental pollution in river Ganga and to ensure continuous adequate flow of water so as to rejuvenate the river Ganga.
The document is a response from the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation to questions asked in Lok Sabha regarding projects for Ganga rejuvenation. It provides details of 231 short to medium term projects recently launched under the Namami Gange program, covering infrastructure like ghats and crematoria across 7 states. It also notes that state governments are responsible for land acquisition and removing encroachments for projects. Completion timelines for the projects range from 18-48 months. Additionally, the National River Conservation Plan covers pollution abatement in 31 non-Ganga rivers across 14 states.
The Ganga River is deeply sacred in Indian culture but has become severely polluted over time. The Ganga Action Plan (GAP), launched in 1986, aimed to clean up the Ganga but failed to achieve its objectives despite spending over $300 million. Key reasons for the GAP's failure include mismanagement, corruption, lack of enforcement, and dilution of water quality standards. A critical examination found that GAP needs an overhaul with concrete action plans and committed leadership to restore the health of the Ganga River.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

O
ur sun is a constant source of energy.
Each day, the sun bathes the Earth in
unimaginable amounts of solar energy,
most of which comes in the form of
visible light. All over planet Earth,
sunlight is the by far the most important source of
energy for all living things. Without it, Earth would
be lifeless.
Sunlight can be a practical source of energy for such
everyday jobs as cooking, heating water, or warming
up homes. The challenge is to find ways to transform
sunlight into useable heat. The most efficient way to
use heat from sunlighttransform sunlight into heat
is to shine lots of sunlight onto a dark surface. Dark
surfaces absorb most of the visible light that falls
upon them, and reflect very little. Visible light that is
absorbed this way usually causes the dark-coloured
surface to warm up. Of all colours, black is able to
absorb the most light, and produce the most heat.
You are familiar with what happens to a dark-
colored surface when sunlight strikes it: it will get
warm. But without a little help, there is not usually
not enough heat produced to cook foods. To produce
enough heat for cooking, it is necessary to shine
additional sunlight from a wider area onto the black
surface. This is easy to do with mirrors or other
reflective surfaces, or with glass or plastic lenses.
The solar oven you
will be building from
this plan uses
aluminum foil to
gather sunlight. The
foil-covered panels of
the oven reflect
sunlight into the
cooking chamber,
which is painted
black. Heat is produced when the concentrated
sunlight is absorbed by the black surface of the
cooking chamber. The heat is contained inside the
chamber with the help of insulation, and a clear
plastic oven bag. The result is a great solar cooker
and yummy food!
Solar Oven Safety
• Use extreme caution when cutting cardboard with
the utility knife. Extend the blade only as far as is
needed to cut through the cardboard, and lock it into
place. Do your cutting on a cutting board or piece of
scrap plywood, cardboard, or a kitchen cutting board.
• Use sunglasses when working with shiny
materials in sunlight.
• Solar ovens can get very hot! Use oven mitts or
gloves to prevent burns.

A. Prepare the Reflective Panels
Organize your workspace. You will need a large
tabletop to work on. It is very helpful to have a sink
nearby for cleaning up. Arrange your materials and
tools so you can get to them conveniently.
1. Using a meter stick and felt pen, draw the
outlines of the reflector segments on your cardboard.
Use the measurements on the blueprint template.
2. Using the utility knife, carefully cut out the
4 cardboard segments. Use a ruler or straight-edge
to help guide your cuts. CAUTION: Utility knives
can be dangerous. Extend the blade only as far as
necessary to cut through the cardboard. Use some
scrap cardboard or wood under the material you are
cutting to avoid damaging the tabletop.
3. Remove the top from the white glue bottle and
pour approximately 100 ml ( about 1/3 cup) into the
plastic container. Add 4 tablespoons of water to the
glue and stir thoroughly. This will make the glue
thinner and easier to spread evenly.
4. Carefully unroll enough aluminum to completely
cover one section. Keep the foil as smooth and flat as
possible. Wrinkles and creases in the foil will reduce
the efficiency of the reflector. If the cardboard is
wider than the foil, use two pieces of foil and plan to
join them near the middle.
5. Using the paint brushpaintbrush, apply a thin
layer of white glue over the entire surface of the
cardboard. Be sure to spread the glue right to the
edge of the cardboard. Use the flat edge of a piece
of scrap cardboard as a squeegee to spread the glue
out evenly.
6. Before the glue dries, place the foil on
the cardboard shiny side up, and smooth it
down over the entire surface. Try to press out
any wrinkles, bubbles, or creases in the foil. If
your foil gets badly wrinkled during the gluing
process, tear it off and try again with fresh glue.
7. Using the utility knife, trim the foil so that it is
flush with the edge of the cardboard all around. Set
the panel aside to dry.
8. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the remaining
sections.
9. Rinse the paint brush thoroughly under the tap to
remove any glue. The glue-water mixture can be used
in Part D below, so put a lid on the container to keep
the glue from drying out.
Spreading glue on the cardboard.
Smooth out the foil carefully, removing any
wrinkles or bubbles as you go.
Build It!

B. Join the Panels
1. Cut 8 pieces of duct tape 60 cm long and set
them aside (stick them to the edge of the table for
easy retrieval).
2. Arrange the segments as shown in the photo
below, foil side down, wide sections alternating
with narrow ones. The narrow end of each
should point toward you.
3. Carefully position the first two panels, keeping
a 2 mm space between them. Position one of your
60- cm strips of duct tape over the joint between
the panels. Press it onto the joint, being sure it
sticks securely to both panels over its full length.
4. Join the third and fourth panels as in step 3
above.
5. Carefully flip the joined panels over on the table.
This may require two people. Reinforce the joint
between each panel using another strip of duct tape.
6. Stand your reflector up (foil side in), bringing
the edges of the outer two panels together. Have your
partner hold the reflector in position while you add
the last piece of duct tape.
7. Finish the last joint inside the reflector by
applying the remaining piece of duct tape.
C. Add the Insulated Box
1. Using duct tape, fasten the cardboard box
securely to the bottom of the reflector by its flaps.
Be sure the box is centered. Add a few strips of duct
tape to the corners to make the assembly more rigid.

2. Shred some newspaper by tearing it
lengthwise into thin strips. You can also use
paper from a mechanical paper shredder. Stuff
shredded paper into the gaps between the box and
the reflector. Leave a little of the paper on the
bottom of the box, as shown in the illustration.
D. Prepare the Baking Chamber
1. In the plastic container, use your plastic spoon
to mix 2 teaspoons of black tempera paint with one
teaspoon of white glue, and two teaspoons of water
(you can substitute glue and water from Part A above
if you had any left over).
2. Using the brush, apply the black paint evenly
over the inside of an aluminum foil loaf tin. Set this
aside to dry. It may be necessary to apply two coats
of the paint to ensure full coverage of the aluminum.
E. Test and Prepare the Solar Oven for Use
The solar oven is now ready to be tested. If the glue
and paint are all dry and it is a sunny day, you can
warm up your oven in preparation for its first cooking
job.
1. Place the oven thermometer inside the painted
baking tin.
2. Slip the baking tin into the transparent plastic
oven bag by placing the tin inside the oven plastic
oven bag. Arrange the bag so that the plastic
forms a smooth, unwrinkled window over the baking
chamber.
3. Press the baking chamber tightly into the bottom
of the reflector.
4. Outside, and with your sunglasses on, arrange
your cooker so that the cooking chamber is fully
illuminated by the sun. The diagram below shows
you how to orient the reflector to get the most heat
from the sun. You will need to prop the reflector up
on some books, bricks, or other objects to keep it at
the right angle.
Test It!
Use two coats of black paint to coat the
inside of the baking chamber.
Place the baking tin inside the oven bag.
Insulate the box below the reflector using shredded
newsprint.

5. If the day is sunny, clear, and warm, the
temperature inside the cooker should begin to reach
100 degrees C or more within 20 minutes or so.
Allow the cooker to reach its maximum temperature
(about 200 degrees C or higher) and maintain that for
an hour or more. This will burn off any unwanted
substances inside the baking chamber.
F. Warming and Cooking Food with the Sun
• If your cooker reaches 100 degrees C, you can
use it for heating foods. If it gets to temperatures
of 175 degrees or higher, you can actually use it for
baking.
• The plastic oven bag is extremely fragile and
easily torn. Handle it carefully, especially when the
cooking chamber is hot.
• For cooking and baking, you will need to find
small baking tins that fit easily into your baking
chamber. To improve the baking efficiency, paint the
OUTSIDE of any small baking tins you want to use
with the same paint and glue mixture you used to
blacken the inside of the baking chamber. Be sure to
heat your painted tins in the oven without food to
burn off any impurities before cooking with them.
• You can use your oven to bake brownies, cookies,
muffins, bread, and other foods. You can also use
your oven to warm soups, stews, pizza, and pastries
using your cooker. You can also bake “veggie packs”
of mixed vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, onions,
and potatoes.
• You may need to support the pot or tin using
small stones or metal jar lids to keep them level
inside the baking chamber. Whatever you use in the
baking chamber, make sure it is oven-safe and free
from paints, solvents, plastics, and other substances
that you do not want mixing with your food. If you
are not sure whether something is oven-safe, ask a
teacher, parent, or adult supervisor.
