I cannot claim to be a weather prediction expert by no means, but long range forecasts done by any other agency in the world, does not have the granularity in space or time that a 5-day advance weather forecast has. Long range forecasts use input parameters which have scales so large in time or spac...

That 60% figure for PG population is reflective of all IIT campuses...and it is only going to increase going forward.

You don't need IIT and NIT munnas for low skill and even high skill manufacturing. As if the current graduates doing anything useful for the country with their degrees.

However, China doesn't have to blame smaller nations for Sino-US tensions.

How apt, it has only itself to blame for getting corned and left with just no friends in the Pacific region.

This is what I meant, the area where Chinese have pushed the border up and denying us a easier way to connect Himachal to Hanle.

Bade

Absolutely, tunnels is the way to go wherever possible, especially in snow bound areas. I was looking at google maps for areas in Leh-Hanle side and the way to get to Hanle from Himachal by road is very circuitous due to snow bound mountains south west of Hanle. If they can build a road along the sp...

Keep the stories coming...it is educational to read. Even with a retaining wall landslides can still occur, as one cannot shore up a whole mountainside. The geology is working against you all the time.

As of late 2014 the Tawang to Bhalukpong road condition was bad. Some stretches were just katcha road, stripped of any asphalt if any. In all I encountered a very small stretch like < 5km where it was in pristine condition with lane markers etc. So it can be done is all I could infer. I did see culv...

Yes, Biharis were present in Arunachal in enough numbers, but I did see Arunachali women too as part of the workforce.

Bade

I had the same thought, when I saw them at work. But then the mountain is a pile of rubble...Himalayas are softer than most older ranges, so chances of landslides higher, and stone cutting and embankment forming a continuous process to keep the locals employed. Lack of access to education to improve...

^^ Imagine the kind of growth India's NITs and IITs have to go through to support this kind of growth in the economy. We are nowhere close to achieving this target in educating and developing the skill levels of the population. Just all these campuses put together can train only 30,000 students each...

On my trip to Tawang, saw many women of all age groups by the roadside working on road construction activity including cutting stones for the embankments. Pretty hardy lot in Arunachal.

Brahmaputra needs two more crossing. One near Dibrugarh and also at Jorhat. The former has pillars ready from google maps. But it has been in that state for a while now. Anyone local should know the current status.

There is also one under construction at Guwahati.

Accuracy of coordinates on earth, is far better than what satellites measure using the publicly known numbers. It is pure geometry at play.

Why do you need IRNSS to get ground co-ordinates for anywhere on the globe. That accuracy is determined by your IRS satellites resolution if no other sources are available to you. IRNSS is required by your post man to deliver the maal to the right address, as he needs to know where he is at any give...
