  Greenhouse gas levels reached unprecedented highs in 2024, according to the United Nations. Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and nitrous oxide all set new records. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reported the largest annual rise in CO2 since measurements began in 1957. This sharp increase challenges global efforts to limit warming under the Paris Agreement. The 2024 year was also the warmest on record, intensifying concerns about climate feedback loops and the planet’s ability to absorb emissions. Unprecedented Rise in Greenhouse Gases In 2024, CO2 concentration soared to 424 parts per million (ppm). This is a 3.5 ppm jump from 2023, the biggest single-year increase ever recorded. Methane levels reached 1,942 parts per billion, while nitrous oxide hit 338 parts per billion. Since pre-industrial times, these gases have increased by 152%, 266%, and 125% respectively. CO2 remains the dominant greenhouse gas, responsible for about two-thirds of the current warming effect. C...

 1 The Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system for fertilizers ensures that subsidies reach farmers directly through fertilizer companies based on verified retail sales. The mechanism links sales to farmers’ Aadhaar numbers, promoting transparency and efficiency. It guarantees access to subsidized fertilizers for all farmers, regardless of land size, through a no-denial policy where any verified buyer can avail subsidy benefits. Subsidy Distribution and Financial Overview Under the DBT framework, fertilizer companies receive full subsidy reimbursement based on actual sales data authenticated through Point of Sale (PoS) devices. The government allocates significant funds annually to cover the cost of indigenous and imported Urea and Phosphatic & Potassic (P&K) fertilizers. While urea subsidies form the largest share, overall subsidy expenditures have shown a gradual decline due to market and policy adjustments. Pricing and Subsidy Mechanism for Urea Urea is supplied to farm...

The 2025 kharif season in Punjab has witnessed severe damage to paddy crops due to false smut disease. Continuous rainfall and flooding disrupted essential anti-fungal spraying. This has led to widespread infestation, threatening the state’s agricultural output and farmer livelihoods. False Smut Outbreak Heavy and incessant rains caused floods across Punjab. These conditions prevented timely anti-fungal treatments on paddy fields. As a result, false smut disease, locally known as haldi rog, emerged aggressively. The disease has affected paddy crops at the maturing and harvesting stages, causing concerns among farmers and officials. Extent of Crop Damage and Loss Crop loss estimates vary. Some experts and legislators report up to 25% damage in affected areas. Agricultural authorities, including Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), estimate losses closer to 2-6%. Despite differing views, the damage is substantial given the large scale of paddy cultivation in Punjab, which spans over 32...

  The recent sighting of painted storks in Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve (KNPTR) marks a hopeful moment for conservation. After a four-year gap, these near-threatened birds have reappeared in the park’s wetlands. This event marks the success of ongoing protection efforts and the ecological importance of Kaziranga as a habitat for migratory birds. Significance of the Sighting Painted storks (Mycteria leucocephala) are large wading birds known for their distinctive pink and white plumage and long yellow-orange bills. Their return to Kaziranga is because the species has been declining due to habitat loss and wetland degradation. The sighting shows that conservation measures can help restore natural habitats and support vulnerable species. It also enriches the park’s ornithological diversity during the migratory season. About Painted Storks Painted storks belong to the family Ciconiidae. They are native to the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia. These birds pre...
