- Kerala
will have 450 functional e-toilets by the end of this fiscal, becoming the
first state in
- An
e-toilet has an automated door opening, power flushing, automatic closet
washing and sterilisation and automatic platform-cleaning mechanism -- all
backed by SMS alerts to inform a control room about the status of water
tank and biogas plant in the event of any errors or failures.
- This
latest technological innovation is a convergence of web-mobile-electronics
technologies and is expected to bring about a revolutionary change in the
public health and hygiene sector of the state.
- It
uses Bio-membrane reactor, which is a nano-technology-aided
device that instantly recycles the used water and makes
it ready for future use.
- An
e-toilet occupies around 20 square feet and has two doors -- a sliding
door at the front and a normal door ahead of the toilet.
- As
soon as the coin (entry charge) is dropped, the sliding door opens and the
light and the exhaust fan switch on. Inside the toilet there is a bucket,
mug and such other items. In case the user does not flush the toilet after
use, the system automatically does all the cleaning operations.
- Human
excreta is treated and reduced to a sand-like material, which will not have
any bacteria and is removed physically once in three months.
- The
average life of a unit is estimated to be around 7-10 years.

I am appearing ias and I was confused which subject to choose for ias MAINS,Then i enrolled with http://www.wiziq.com/course/4631-how-to-select-the-best-optionals-for-ias.Being a working employee I don't get time to go to an institute for coaching. I want to ask have I taken the right step to enroll online
ReplyDeleteI am not much aware about the content of the online programme. Few things you should consider while choosing optionals.
Delete1. your interest
2. utility of the optional in GS or Essay.
3. Availability of the material and some good class notes just to give us guidelines for how we should prepare our own notes from exam point of view.
4. If you arent comfortable with optional then it's suggested to attend some good coaching, but coaching cant get you through. self study is important.
5. There is a possiblilty of change in mains syllabus in 2014, so keep an eye on that and select optional which might benefit you in changed syllabus.
If you are starting the preparation now, then I'll suggest you to focus main attention on GS and go though all basic books first. Usually it's difficult for working professionals to devote time for preparation. Most of the working people who are getting selected have already done full time preparation for a year or two... Still if you are already strong in optionals, then you can make it happen with job too...
