India's Agnikul Cosmos Achieves Milestone with Successful SOrTeD Mission Launch In a significant milestone for India's private space industry, Agnikul Cosmos has successfully launched its SOrTeD mission, a single-stage launch vehicle demonstration powered by a semi-cryogenic 3D-printed engine. Major Achievement in Indigenous Space Technology The mission, which lasted approximately two minutes, marked a major achievement for both the company and the country in the development of indigenous space technology. ISRO congratulated the Chennai-based space start-up, calling the launch "a major milestone." ISRO tweeted, "Congratulations Agnikul Cosmos for the successful launch of the Agnibaan SoRTed-01 mission from their launch pad. A major milestone, as the first-ever controlled flight of a semi-cryogenic liquid engine realised through additive manufacturing." Overcoming Challenges to Launch from ALP-01 Initially scheduled to launch on April 7 but postponed due to technical glitches, the SOrTeD mission finally took off from India's first private launch pad, ALP-01, at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. This launch pad represents a significant development in India's space infrastructure, allowing private companies to conduct their missions independently. Innovative Design and Technology The mission featured a 6.2-meter-tall single-stage launch vehicle with an elliptical nose cone. It was equipped with advanced avionics architecture and autopilot software developed in-house, showcasing Agnikul Cosmos's innovation capabilities. The vehicle was powered by the Agnilet engine, the world's first single-piece 3D-printed semi-cryogenic rocket engine. The mission included a series of precise maneuvers, including a pitch-over maneuver and wind biasing, before splashing down in the Bay of Bengal. These complex operations demonstrated the high level of precision and control achievable with the company's technology. Paving the Way for Future Launches The successful launch of the SOrTeD mission marks a significant step forward for Agnikul Cosmos, which is targeting the multi-billion-dollar small satellite launch market. The data collected from this mission will help fine-tune the development of the Agnibaan launch vehicle. Agnibaan is expected to be highly customizable and capable of carrying a 300kg payload to a 700km orbit, catering to a wide range of client requirements. World

Understanding UPI Transaction Limits and Tax Implications Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has revolutionized digital transactions in India, but many users remain unaware of the tax implications and transaction limits associated with it. While the Income Tax Department tracks all types of transactions, including cash deposits, fixed deposits (FDs), and credit card transactions, it hasn't specified a specific limit for UPI transactions. However, this doesn't mean that you can carry out unlimited transactions without any consequences. This article will provide comprehensive information on UPI transaction limits and tax-related considerations to help you avoid potential notices from the Income Tax Department. UPI Transactions and Income Tax Tracking Like all your other financial activities, the Income Tax Department also tracks your UPI transactions. If your annual UPI transactions are below ₹50,000, there is generally no cause for concern. Transactions below this threshold, including both credits and debits, typically do not attract scrutiny or notices from the department. However, one type of transaction excluded from this limit is when you repay money borrowed through UPI. What If Your UPI Transactions Exceed ₹50,000? Many individuals, including myself, often exceed ₹50,000 in annual UPI transactions. There's no need to panic if these transactions are genuine, such as payments to shopkeepers or vendors. The key factor the Income Tax Department considers is whether your UPI transactions match your Income Tax Returns (ITR). For instance, if your UPI transactions amount to ₹2,00,000 in a year and your ITR reflects this, there's typically no issue. Problems arise if there's a significant discrepancy, which might trigger a notice. Cashback and Rewards from UPI Transactions Economy

Will Aadhaar Cards Be Deactivated After June 14? UIDAI Clarifies Aadhaar Card: Recently, news has been circulating that Aadhaar cards will become inactive if not updated by June 14. UIDAI has provided a clarification on this matter. The Buzz Around Aadhaar Card Updates There has been significant discussion regarding Aadhaar (Aadhaar Card) on social media and other platforms recently. The rumors suggest that Aadhaar cards will stop functioning if personal details are not updated by June 14. However, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has dismissed these claims. Clarification from UIDAI UIDAI has clarified that June 14 is merely the deadline for free updates to Aadhaar details. Even if individuals do not update their details by this date, their Aadhaar cards will continue to function. The organization emphasized that updates can still be made after this date by paying a nominal fee at Aadhaar centers. The approaching June 14 deadline for free updates has led to the spread of various rumors. Extended Deadline for Free Online Updates Initially, UIDAI had allowed free online updates to Aadhaar details until December 14, 2023. This period was subsequently extended in two phases, finally setting the deadline at June 14. During this period, individuals could submit the necessary documents online to update their details for free. UIDAI had previously advised those whose Aadhaar cards were issued over ten years ago to update their details. Regular Updates for Accuracy UIDAI recommends updating identification and address proof documents at least once every ten years. This practice helps ensure that the Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR) maintains accurate and up-to-date information on all citizens. Keeping the information current aids in maintaining precise records. How to Update Aadhaar Details To update Aadhaar details, log in to the UIDAI website and submit the latest identification and address proof documents. Various documents can be used for verification, including ration cards, voter IDs, Kisan passbooks, and passports for both identification and address proof. Other acceptable documents include transfer certificates, mark sheets, PAN/e-PAN, and driving licenses for identification proof, and recent utility bills (electricity, water, gas, telephone) not older than three months for address proof. These documents need to be scanned and uploaded on the ‘My Aadhaar’ website. By following these guidelines, individuals can ensure their Aadhaar information remains accurate and up-to-date, thus avoiding any potential disruptions in services. NEWS

The Hottest Summers in History: Unprecedented Heatwaves and Climate Change Do you remember the summer two years ago, in 2022? It was dubbed the "Hottest Summer Ever." That year, India experienced such extreme temperatures that it broke a 122-year-old record. However, the summer of 2023 surpassed even that, with scientists declaring it the hottest summer in the last 2,000 years in the Northern Hemisphere. Record-Breaking Heat in 2024: A New Normal? As we enter 2024, the trend continues with alarming intensity. January 2024 was the hottest January ever recorded. February followed suit as the hottest February, March was the hottest March, and April set a new record as the hottest month ever recorded. Over the past 11 months, Earth has experienced unprecedented heat, signaling that the current scorching temperatures are far from normal. Southeast Asia's Heatwave Crisis You are not alone in facing this extreme heat. Last month, South India and Southeast Asia endured record-breaking heatwaves. Countries like Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia experienced unbearable temperatures. The Philippines saw the heat index soar above 53°C, while Uttarakhand faced devastating forest fires. India's Struggle with Soaring Temperatures In the first week of May, forest fires erupted in Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Jharkhand. Heatwave warnings were issued across India, even in typically cooler regions like Kerala. North India saw temperatures rise above 46°C, underscoring the severe impact of global warming and climate change. Beyond Climate Change: Additional Causes and Local Solutions While global warming and climate change are major contributors, they are not the sole reasons behind these extreme weather events. It's essential to understand other factors and explore local solutions to mitigate the heat. Extreme Weather Events Worldwide Extreme weather is not confined to India or Southeast Asia; it's a global phenomenon. In South America, recent news highlighted catastrophic floods in Southern Brazil, displacing over 150,000 people and resulting in at least 83 deaths. Entire cities were submerged, showcasing the devastating impact of climate change. Severe Drought in Southern Africa Simultaneously, Southern Africa is experiencing a severe drought, leaving many families struggling to meet their daily needs. This drought, the worst since 1947, has led several Southern African countries to request $5.5 billion in aid to prevent widespread starvation. The Role of El Niño in Extreme Weather A significant weather event behind this global destruction is El Niño, a natural climate cycle occurring every 5-7 years. Climate change has intensified El Niño, making its impacts more severe. El Niño, or El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), is the second-largest factor influencing Earth's climate after the Earth's revolution around the Sun. Understanding El Niño El Niño occurs in the Pacific Ocean, the world's largest and deepest ocean, located between Asia and the Americas. Normally, trade winds blow from east to west over the Pacific, moving warm surface water towards Australia. This movement causes colder, nutrient-rich water to rise near South America, a process called upwelling. This cycle supports marine life and impacts weather patterns, leading to more rain near Australia. The Disruption of Trade Winds However, when these trade winds weaken, the upwelling diminishes, and the warm water remains on the surface. This disruption leads to drastic changes in weather patterns, contributing to extreme events like heatwaves, droughts, and floods across the globe. Mitigating the Impact of Extreme Heat To combat these rising temperatures, local and global initiatives are crucial. Communities can adopt measures such as improving urban planning to increase green spaces, enhancing water management systems, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. On a larger scale, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources are vital steps in addressing the root causes of climate change. NEWS
