Use social media as a tool to improve blood donation

But recruitment of safe donors is a challenging task. We need more people to come forth, to realise that blood donation is their responsibility. Facebook, for example, can also be used to sign up as a donor, and connect with organisations in need

Blood banks and hospitals cannot sustain health care without adequate blood from such donors, and blood donor organisations play a very crucial role in this endeavour.

Move IST ahead by 30 minutes, save 3.5 billion units of energy: Scientists

At present, India is five-and-half hours ahead of the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and among few nations with a fractional shift — in minutes — from GMT. Most countries add or subtract hours from GMT to create their standard time zones.

The country can save 3.5 billion units of electricity every year if the Indian Standard Time (IST) is advanced by 30 minutes, two senior Indian scientists who first proposed the idea of a time-zone shift a decade ago said on Monday.(Getty Images/iStockphoto)

In a written response to a question on demands from northeastern states for a separate time zone, Union minister Harsh Vardhan said such requests have been made on the ground that sunrise and sunset timings in these parts are much earlier.(Sonu Mehta/HT File Photo)

Another IST? Study says different time zone for north-eastern states will improve productivity

The study suggests setting clocks in Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to run one hour ahead of clocks in the rest of India.

The sun rises and sets earlier in the north-eastern states than the rest of India, which causes loss of many daylight hours. The problem worsens in winter when days get shorter, leading to lost productivity and higher electricity consumption.(AFP File Photo)
