Indian Scientists Create a Self-Charging Solar Energy Device — A Breakthrough for Youth and Clean Energy Future

Indian researchers create a sunlight-powered photo-supercapacitor to store clean energy India has taken another powerful step toward a cleaner and smarter future. Scientists from Bengaluru have developed a new self-charging energy storage device that captures sunlight and stores power at the same time . This innovation could transform renewable energy, portable electronics, electric devices, and off-grid power systems — especially benefiting youth, startups, and rural communities. This new technology, called a photo-rechargeable supercapacitor (or photo-capacitor) , brings together solar energy collection and energy storage into a single device . Traditionally, solar systems need two separate parts — one to capture sunlight (solar panel) and another to store energy (battery). But this Indian innovation combines both functions in one compact system.This progress aligns with India’s broader innovation journey in sectors like transportation and infrastructure , where technology is reshap...

Why Disability Certificate Re-Verification Matters: Understanding Rights, Dignity and Opportunities for India’s Youth

In recent years, conversations around disability in India have begun to move beyond sympathy toward something far more powerful — rights, dignity, and equal opportunity. Yet, for many young persons with disabilities (PwDs), one document continues to define access to education, employment, and social security: the disability certificate.

Recognising this, India’s human rights framework has begun re-examining how verification systems should work — without harming the very people they are meant to protect. This article explores why disability certification matters,what human rights safeguards are needed, and how India’s youth can shape a more inclusive future. Disability Certificates: More Than Medical Papers A disability certificate is not simply proof of a medical condition. Under the Rights of P...

CERT-In: How India’s Cyber Guardian Is Securing the Digital Future — And Why Youth Are Central to It

Building a Safe, Trusted and Accountable Cyberspace Why Cybersecurity Matters to Every Young Indian Today’s youth are the most digitally active generation India has ever seen. From online classes, digital payments, social media, startups, gaming, freelancing, and e-governance platforms —almost every part of daily life runs on the internet.

This is where cybersecurity moves from being a “technical topic” to a national necessity. At the centre of India’s cybersecurity ecosystem is the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In)—the country’s frontline cyber defence organisation under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). CERT-In does not just respond to cyberattacks; it works continuously to predict threats, protect systems, educate citizens, and build a secure digital future...
