But there are no tidal energy-based power plants in India yet. Why is this the case? India’s Potential India has been looking at generating electricity via tidal power since the 1980s. There were project reports prepared for harnessing this energy from the Panchapada River in Odisha and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy made an assessment of the potential of tidal energy in India, it is estimated that the country can produce 7000 MW of power in the Gulf of Khambhat in Gujarat, 1200 MW of power in the Gulf of Kutch in Gujarat and about 100 MW of power in the Gangetic delta of Sunderbans in West Bengal.

CSR: Four and a half ways companies (mis)use funds CB Bureau 16 May 2016 CSR A s is wont with Indian laws, with good intentions come expected transgressions. The 2013 CSR ruling is generally considered to be a right step towards a more equal society (with the occasional grumblings of some senior corporate officials and  self-styled pundits) but the vagueness of certain aspects of this law has made it ripe for cleverly designed abuses. There has been a steady stream of reports regarding misuse of CSR funds by certain companies both in the public and private sectors. Of course, this phenomenon was prevalent even before this ruling came into effect. Space and time doesn’t really matter when it comes to unethical dealings with money. Here, we have unearthed some interesting ways in which CSR money has been diverted towards pursuits of happiness by individuals and entities who you wouldn’t exactly qualify as underprivileged or oppressed. 1. One of the more creative met...
