Are solar pumps the start of an ever-green revolution or the end of our groundwater reserves?
Posted on 02 Jun, 2013 05:51 PMIndian farmers depend on groundwater for irrigation but often, there is a shortage of electricity that is required to pump out this water. While diesel pumps are an option, they are costly to run. A better alternative is to tap into freely available solar power. However, this technology is quite expensive at present and effective subsidies and incentives drive its usage.

A response to doubts raised by Prof. Yuan on Indian farmer's record paddy yield through SRI method in Bihar
Posted on 04 Mar, 2013 11:13 PMThere is no scientific basis for rejecting these record yields in Bihar as a ‘hoax,’ because there is considerable evidence available that confirms the reported yields. Saying that the Indian government could not confirm the yield *after* the harvest is obviously correct, but it is a mistaken assertion.
