WHAT IT TAKES TO TAKE THE CREDIT FOR GOOD HAPPENINGS IN RAILWAYS

Whatever changes has happened in Indian Railway can be easily seen and everybody in media or politics never stops giving credit to our honorable railway minister Piyush Goyal. I am also his big supporter and fan of him for taking a hand on corrupt system to do something new.  As per current scenario in railways,whatever said to be done is just in dreams and will never be fulfilled. Let me be clear to this comment- Here are the few changes adopted and well done but the inner loop hole has to be understood.
1. In these two years railways fares have been hiked by 30% which is somewhat like hitting hard on the stomach of the poor and middle class family
2. The facilities provided to the passengers have been deteriorated.
3. Everybody knows that 95% people travel through Indian Railways and this has been advantage to the corrupt employees of railways as they charge extra from poor people.
4. Few people are such that they don't bother to care to talk ruthlessly to old age ladies and poor old people as they are just in hunt of money from them
5. The foods supplied in Indian Railways has become bad to worse
6. Piyush Goyal this is specially for you, please do think about importance of time in India, people afford costly train tickets to reach destination on time but none even Rajdhani never reaches destination on time.
7. It's real shame that Rajdhani and Shatabdi is being delayed

Thanks

Conducting polymer membrane from Coal by Dr Atma Ram Singh

For the first time, an additive for a conducting polymer membrane has been successfully developed from Indian coal—a breakthrough deeply inspired by my father’s pioneering research in coal chemistry and structural modeling. Using Samla coal from the Raniganj coalfield (80% carbon, dmmf basis), the coal was chemically demineralised, oxidized, and solubilized in a polar organic solvent. The soluble fraction was dried, and the residual solid was blended with polyvinyl alcohol to create an additive for conducting polymer membranes, forming a high-quality, coloured thin film with conductivity in the range of 10⁻³–10⁻⁴ Scm⁻¹.

Building upon my father’s insightful observations and the Mazumdar model of coal structure, this study addresses a long-standing anomaly regarding the enhancement of carboxylic acid functional groups (from 1.2% to 18.3% upon oxidation) and proposes a correction to better explain these experimental results—further extending his legacy in coal structure analysis and functional group chemistry.
