Description: Prayas has been analyzing the different policy mechanisms that have been adopted to promote RE development – feed-in or preferential tariffs, renewable power purchase obligations and renewable energy certificates. In 2010, the Central government of India began to push for large-scale solar power development through the National Solar Mission by setting a target of 22 GW by 2022. Although the bulk of the subsidy and targets are for grid-connected solar, it is robust decentralized RE solutions that can make a large social impact by providing access to clean energy to the poor till reliable grid electricity is made available. Prayas has been providing critiques of the policies under the National Solar Mission, for both grid-connected and off-grid solar development. Check the renewable energy publications at LINK

Description: Soil Testing Chloride Content: Test Method: IS: 4032-1985 Electrical Resistivity: Test Method: IS: 15736-2007 Linear Shrinkage: This test is used to measure the percentage decrease in dimension of a fine fraction of a soil when it is dried after having been moulded in a wet condition approximately at its liquid limit. Test Method: IS: 2720 (P-6) 1972 Modified Procter Compaction Test: The Proctor compaction test is a laboratory method of experimentally determining the optimal moisture content at which a given soil type will become most dense and achieve its maximum dry density. Test Method: IS: 2720 (P-3,7)1980 Organic Matter Content: Organic matter is stable in the soil. It has been decomposed until it is resistant to further decomposition. Usually, only about 5 percent of it mineralizes yearly. That rate increases if temperature, oxygen, and moisture conditions become favorable for decomposition, which often occurs with excessive tillage. It is the stable organic matter that is analyzed in the soil test. Test Method: IS: 2720 (P-22)1972 Particle Size Distribution by Sieve Analysis: The objective of this test is to determine the relative proportions of different granular sizes as they are passing through certain sieve sizes. Thus, the percentage of sand, gravel, silt and clay can be obtained from the sieve analysis test. The sieve analysis (grain size analysis) is widely used in classification of soils. The data obtained from grain size distribution curves is used in the design of filters for earth dams and to determine suitability of soil for road/highway construction, embankment fill of dam, airport runway/taxiway, etc. Test Method: IS: 2720 (P-4)1985 Particle Size Distribution by Hydrometer: Hydrometer testis the procedure generally adopted for determining the particle-size distribution in the soil for the fraction for that is finer than sieve size 0.075 mm. The lower limit of the particle size determined by this procedure is about 0.001 mm. Test Method: Plasticity Index: The Plasticity Index is simply the numerical difference between the liquid limit and the plastic limit for a particular material and indicates the magnitude of the range of moisture content over which the soil remains plastic. It is a measure of the cohesive qualities of the binder resulting from the clay content. Also, it gives some indication of the amount of swelling and shrinkage that will result in the wetting and drying of that fraction tested. Test Method: IS: 2720 (P-5)1985 Sulphate Content: This method determines the soluble sulfate content of soil by using turbidimetric techniques. The results are used to determine whether chemical stabilization (with lime, fly ash, cement kiln dust, etc.) of the tested soil is appropriate. Test Method: IS: 2720 (P-27)1977 SOIL TESTING-CONTAMINATION: As the requirement for land for housing, retail, office and industrial development continues to grow, there is a real need for developers to use sites previously used for industrial purposes (Brownfield sites). These sites may not have been subject to the rigorous environmental legislation that applies today, resulting in the possibility of various levels of contamination. It is necessary, therefore, to conduct a contaminated land survey for these types of site. Desktop study including previous uses Visual inspection of the site Assessing the site's geology and hydrology Carrying out sampling in accordance with methods agreed with the client Laboratory analysis of the samples. SOIL GEO TECHNICAL INVESTIGATION Test Method: ASTM D3080 Dynamic Core Penetration Test: This test helps in determining the compactness of the sub soil layer without making a bore hole. The data obtained by the test provides a continuous record of soil resistance. This is an in-situ dynamic penetration test designed to provide information on the geotechnical engineering properties of soil. Test Method: BS EN ISO 22476-3 / ASTM D1586 / AS 1289.6.3.1 Triaxial Compression Test: This test helps in determining the shear testing of soils. Test Method: ASTM D4767 - 11 / D2850 Plate Bearing: In the design of shallow foundation or traffic surface, design engineers need to know the bearing capacity of soil underneath. Plate bearing test is carried out in the field to serve this purpose. Results from the test can be used as design parameter or used to confirm the design assumption. Test Method: BS 1377 Part 9: 1990 Standards. Food/Agri Testing Aflatoxins in Food: Aflatoxin is the secondary metabolite produced by specific strains of Aspergillums Fungi. Crop Contaminants in Food: Crop contaminant means any substance not intentionally added to food, but which gets added to articles of food in the process of their production, manufacture, processing, preparation, treatment, packing, packaging, transport or holding of articles of such food as a result of environmental contamination. Naturally Occurring Toxins in Food: These toxins get accumulated in food products during period of farming. Sudan Dye Test: Sudan I, II, III and IV are industrial dyes normally used for coloring plastics and other synthetic materials. Overall Migration Test: Overall migration test is done to know about an unacceptable change in the composition of the food by the food contact materials like aqueous stimulants and fatty food stimulants. Nicotine in Food & Tobacco : Nicotine is one of the most harmful and toxic substances ever discovered. It is highly addictive and harmful to the body. Steroids Identification: Steroids are a large group of compounds found in all animals. Different groups of steroids include corticosteroids, anabolic steroids, androgenic steroids, and estrogenic steroids, progestogenic and anti-inflammatory steroids. Many steroids are used in medicines that are similar to the natural hormone.

Description: Soil testing is considered an important tool to assess plant nutrient needs and is also a very useful strategy to formulate crops and site-specific nutrient recommendations. Soil test based nutrient use optimizes economic returns and minimizes risk of environmental pollution, compared with injudicious application. The quality of irrigation water is also crucial factor for long-term soil productivity. Poor quality water if used for a long term can make the soil less productive or even barren, depending on the amount and type of constituents present in it. Therefore it becomes necessary to make available the facility of soil and water testing laboratory for analyzing the soil and water samples at minimal cost so that farming community of the area can ensure the optimum utilization of. Soil and Water Testing Laboratory Soil and water-testing laboratory established at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Dethali Kheda in 2010-11. The laboratory is well equipped with several modern equipments for analysis of nutrients in soil i.e. pH, Electrical Conductivity, Organic carbon, Available nitrogen, Available phosphorus, Available potassium, Sulphur content and to assess quality of irrigation water i.e. pH, Electrical connectivity, Residual sodium carbonate, Sodium adsorption ratio.
