The weakest link in the air pollution fight

As key environmental indicators worsen across India, it is clear that State Pollution Control Boards and Pollution Control Committees are falling short in meeting their statutory mandate

दक्ष (DAKSH) - Reserve Bank’s Advanced Supervisory Monitoring System

RBI has been taking various initiatives in strengthening supervision, which among other initiatives include adoption of latest data and analytical tools as well as leveraging technology for implementing more efficient and automated work processes. In continuation of this effort, RBI recently launched a new SupTech initiative named “दक्ष (DAKSH) - Reserve Bank’s Advanced Supervisory Monitoring System”, which is expected to make the Supervisory processes more robust.

‘दक्ष (DAKSH)’ means ‘efficient’ & ‘competent’, reflecting the underlying capabilities of the application.

‘दक्ष (DAKSH)’ is a web-based end-to-end workflow application through which RBI shall monitor compliance requirements in a more focused manner with the objective of further improving the compliance culture in Supervised Entities (SEs) like Banks, NBFCs, etc.

The application will also enable seamless communication, inspection planning and execution, cyber incident reporting and analysis, provision of various MIS reports etc., through a Platform which enables anytime-anywhere secure access.

✅Water Crisis: a Menace

Self written :- (@TargetDescriptive)


✅Water is the most valuable natural resource on this planet, water is essential for the survival of Living beings, and also it helps humans in their day-to-day work routine. However the availability of drinking water for human consumption is not able to satisfy the demand, human consumption is growing day by day, and this crisis has threatened the population of India and many developing countries. The crisis arose because of various factors. The water crisis has now become one of the major global issues. In 2019 World Economic Forum declared it as one of the largest global risks and threats to human survival, since then many agencies have released reports predicting a great crisis is Imminent, and after then the issue caught the attention of different stakeholders.

✅According to a report one-third of the human population heading towards severe water scarcity, and a great threat to the survival of other living being. It is easy to think that it will always be plentiful, However, freshwater the stuff we drink, bathe in, and irrigate our farm fields with is incredibly scarce. Only 2.4% of the world’s water is freshwater, and two-thirds of that is unavailable for our daily use. Rivers, lakes, and aquifers are drying up or becoming too polluted to use, somehow humans itself responsible for this level of menace. More than half the world’s wetlands have disappeared, and many more are vulnerable or facing a greater risk of disappearing in the future. Agriculture consumes more water than any other activity and wastes much of that through inefficiencies, system loopholes, or dilapidated pumping systems. Climate change is altering patterns of weather and water around the world, causing shortages and droughts in some areas and floods in others, even India faced drought situations so hard every monsoon season. By 2025, two-thirds of the world’s population may face water shortages, and ecosystems around the world will suffer even more.

✅Way Ahead:-
The role of the people in water conservation is vital, they tend to neglect the importance of water conservation, and this should be noted. At the policy level, the Central and State govt should prepare subsidiary-like policies to encourage Farmers to incorporate rain harvesting. From time to time maintenance of irrigation systems can save a large amount of water, Introduce newer technology in Conventional Agriculture. Reuse, Reduce, and Recycling of water should be promoted. We must emphasize our behavioral change, differentiating the use of  Potable and non-potable water and should use it accordingly.
