Schools to reopen on June 1, Friday; Saturday to be working day

KERALA

The custom of reopening schools on Wednesday or Monday after summer vacation will be changed this year. The government has decided to reopen the schools on June 1, Friday itself. June 2, Saturday also will be a working day. The official declaration regarding this will be issued this week.
The new move is to ensure 220 working days in the next academic year. As per the rules in the new Right to Education Act, the central government will grant the fund for school mid-day meal only if there are 220 working days in the academic calendar.


There will be more working Saturdays in the next academic year. The working Saturdays will be confirmed only after the general educational calendar for next academic year is published.
According to custom, if May 31 is Monday, then the schools used to reopen next Wednesday. If May 31 is Wednesday, then the reopening will be on next Monday.
There were rumours that school reopening will be on June 4, Monday, following the custom. Most of the CBSE schools in the state had informed that they will reopen on June 4. However, the government decision is not applicable for CBSE schools.

Geology and Tectonic. Indian Shield

1. Ch (Chattisgarh Basin): Chattisgarh Basin is a geological region in central India known for its sedimentary rock formations. It's important for its mineral resources, including coal and iron ore. 2. CIS (Central Indian Shear Zone): CIS is a tectonic boundary in central India where the Indian Plate interacts with the Eurasian Plate. It's characterized by significant faulting and seismic activity. 3. GR (Godavari Rift): The Godavari Rift is a geological feature associated with the rifting and splitting of the Indian Plate. It's located in the Godavari River basin in southeastern India. 4. M (Madras Block): The Madras Block is a stable continental block in southern India. It's part of the Indian Plate and is not associated with active tectonic processes. 5. Mk (Malanjkhand): Malanjkhand is known for its copper deposits and is one of the largest copper mines in India. 6. MR (Mahanadi Rift): The Mahanadi Rift is a geological feature related to the rifting of the Indian Pl...

Geologic and tectonic framework of the Indian shield

  Major Terms and Regions Explained 1. Indian Shield The Indian Shield refers to the ancient, stable core of the Indian Plate made of hard crystalline rocks. It comprises Archean to Proterozoic rocks that have remained tectonically stable over billions of years. Important Geological Features and Regions ▪️ Ch – Chhattisgarh Basin A sedimentary basin part of the Bastar Craton . Contains rocks of Proterozoic age , mainly sedimentary. Important for understanding the evolution of central India. ▪️ CIS – Central Indian Shear Zone A major tectonic shear zone , separating the Bundelkhand and Bastar cratons . It records intense deformation and metamorphism . Acts as a suture zone , marking ancient tectonic collisions. ▪️ GR – Godavari Rift A rift valley formed due to stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust. Associated with sedimentary basins and hydrocarbon resources . ▪️ M – Madras Block An Archean crustal block in...

Morpho-Tectonic Framework of India

The MorphoTectonic Framework of India refers to the combined study of the country's landforms (morphology) and its geological tectonic features. This framework provides insights into how geological forces have shaped India's topography over millions of years. Here's a breakdown of this concept: 1. Morphology: This aspect focuses on the physical features and landforms of India. It includes the study of mountains, plateaus, plains, valleys, rivers, and other surface features. For example, the Himalayas, Western Ghats, IndoGangetic Plains, and Deccan Plateau are prominent morphological features of India. 2. Tectonics: Tectonics deals with the movement and deformation of the Earth's lithosphere (the outermost rigid layer of the Earth). In the case of India, it primarily involves the interactions of the Indian Plate with neighboring tectonic plates. India is situated at the convergence of several major tectonic boundaries:     Collision with the Eurasian Plate: The most sign...

Solar Radiation and Remote Sensing

Satellite Remote Sensing Satellite remote sensing is the science of acquiring information about Earth's surface and atmosphere without physical contact , using sensors mounted on satellites. These sensors detect and record electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that is either emitted or reflected from the Earth's surface. Solar Radiation & Earth's Energy Balance Solar Radiation is the primary source of energy for Earth's climate system. It originates from the Sun and travels through space as electromagnetic waves . Incoming Shortwave Solar Radiation (insolation) consists mostly of ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths . When it reaches Earth, it can be: Absorbed by the atmosphere, clouds, or surface Reflected back to space Scattered by atmospheric particles Outgoing Longwave Radiation is the infrared energy emitted by Earth back into space after absorbing solar energy. This process helps maintain Earth's thermal bala...

Neighbourhood Operations

 Neighbourhood Operations in GIS? In GIS and raster data , neighbourhood operations look at a group of nearby pixels (not just one) to understand or change a pixel's value. Think of it like checking what's around a house before deciding what color to paint it! Why "Neighbourhood"? Each pixel has " neighbours " (just like how your house has nearby houses). Neighbourhood operations check these nearby pixels and do some calculation to get a new value. 1. Aggregations (Summarizing Nearby Values) Aggregation means combining values of several pixels into one. We do this to: Find the average of surrounding pixels Find the minimum or maximum value Smooth the map (make it less rough) 🧒🏻 Example: Imagine checking the test scores of 9 students sitting around you and finding the average score . That's aggregation!  2. Filtering Techniques Filtering is used to improve or highlight features in a raster image, just like f...
