IIT-I creates environmentally sustainable concrete with industrial waste
Indore: Indian Institute of Technology, Indore (IIT-I), has created an environmentally sustainable concrete without cement using geopolymer technology, incorporating industrial waste products like fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). The institute said this innovative concrete can decrease carbon dioxide emissions by 80%, while reducing construction expenses by 20%. Additionally, it eliminates the requirement for water curing, which is particularly beneficial given current water scarcity concerns. The rapid strength development characteristic makes it ideal for time-sensitive construction applications, including military bunkers, bridges, emergency relief structures, precast railway sleepers, and highway pavement repairs. The research team, led by Dr Abhishek Rajput, associate professor from the civil engineering department at IIT-I, utilised geopolymer technology to produce high-strength concrete with superior performance and durability compared to conventional concrete. "This development is a step toward transforming the way we build our future infrastructure as stronger, faster, and greener. The goal is to find a practical solution that benefits both the environment and the construction industry," said Rajput. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Una forma más inteligente de protegerse contra la inflación eToro Market Updates Haz clic aquí Undo The institute noted that ordinary Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) is responsible for approximately 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions, generating nearly 2.5 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide annually through cement manufacturing processes, including limestone burning and fuel consumption. IIT-I director Prof Suhas Joshi said, "This is an excellent example of how IIT Indore is contributing to national priorities through sustainable technology. Such developments align with India's vision for green infrastructure and carbon neutrality."

Madhya Pradesh League: Aman Bhadoriya's all round show helps Chambal defeat Indore
Aman Bhadoriya delivered a brilliant all-round performance as Chambal Ghariyals secured a commanding 43-run victory over Indore Pink Panthers, led by Venkatesh Iyer, in Match 6 of the Madhya Pradesh League T20 2025 at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Stadium, Shankarpur, on Sunday. After being asked to bat first, Chambal Ghariyals posted a challenging total of 207/6, built on a collective batting effort. Apurve Dwivedi gave them a flying start with a brisk 33 off 17 balls, followed by a composed 48 off 42 from captain Shubham Sharma. Later in the innings, Harpreet Singh chipped in with a well-paced 57 off 39, before Aman Bhadoriya provided the finishing touches with a powerful 35 off just 12 balls. For Indore, Kulwant Khejroliya and Parush Mandal took two wickets each but couldn't prevent the flow of runs in the latter stages. In the run chase, Indore Pink Panthers lost early wickets, with Arpit Gaud falling cheaply to Aman Bhadoriya, who carried his momentum into the bowling department. Rahul Chandrol also departed early, increasing the pressure. Akshat Raghuwanshi, who has been in good touch this season, attempted to steady the innings with some aggressive stroke play and luck on his side, scoring 48 off 31 balls. However, he was cleaned up by a sharp delivery from Nayanraj Mewada, derailing Indore's hopes. With the required run rate climbing, the onus was on captain Venkatesh Iyer to anchor the chase, but he managed just 10 runs before being dismissed by Raj Dabi, who picked up two wickets in the match. Late efforts from Vikrant Bhadoriya (22 off 13) and Ankur Singh Chauhan (32 off 17) showed intent, but Indore eventually fell short, finishing on 164/8, handing Chambal Ghariyals their second consecutive win of the tournament. Aman Bhadoriya, who was named Player of the Match, contributed with both bat and ball, also picking up two crucial wickets. Speaking after the match, Aman said: '200 wasn't really on our mind. Harpreet Singh told me to just play my shots and keep watching the ball closely, so I just followed that and the shots kept coming. While bowling, the plan was simple - don't give away easy boundary balls. Make them work hard for every run, and I just stuck to that.' Chambal Ghariyals will be confident moving ahead, having registered back-to-back wins through disciplined performances across departments while Indore Pink Panthers will look to regroup quickly after their first loss.

In a major push towards tech-driven education, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) Chairperson TG Sitharam announced that artificial intelligence (AI) will soon be embedded across all branches of technical education in India. Speaking at a parliamentary advisory committee meeting chaired by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in Indore, Sitharam said that the AICTE has formed an expert panel to revise the model curriculums of engineering, IT, and management studies to integrate AI components. "The committee has already conducted three meetings and is expected to submit its recommendations within the next month," he noted. Following this, the updated curriculums could be finalised within two months, paving the way for AI-based education to begin as early as the next academic year. While the Council had already launched a BTech course in AI and Data Science in 2017, this marks the first major step towards embedding AI into the foundational framework of all technical disciplines. Sitharam also highlighted efforts to promote education in Indian languages. Over the last two years, AICTE has made 1,000 textbooks available online in 12 Indian languages, with over seven lakh downloads recorded. Currently, 54 technical institutions in the country offer various courses in these regional languages.

Coinbase breach linked to customer data leak in India, sources say
WASHINGTON :Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase knew as far back as January about a customer data leak at an outsourcing company connected to a larger breach estimated to cost up to $400 million, six people familiar with the matter told Reuters. At least one part of the breach, publicly disclosed in a May 14 SEC filing, occurred when an India-based employee of the U.S. outsourcing firm TaskUs was caught taking photographs of her work computer with her personal phone, according to five former TaskUs employees. Three of the employees and a person familiar with the matter said Coinbase was notified immediately. The ex-employees said they were briefed on the matter by company investigators or colleagues who witnessed the incident in the Indian city of Indore, noting that the woman and a suspected accomplice were alleged to have been feeding Coinbase customer information to hackers in return for bribes. The ex-employees and person familiar with the matter said more than 200 TaskUs employees were soon fired in a mass layoff that drew Indian media attention. Coinbase had previously blamed "support agents overseas" for the breach, which it estimated could cost up to $400 million. Although the link between TaskUs and the breach was previously alleged in a lawsuit filed last week in federal court in Manhattan, details of the incident, reported here for the first time, raise further questions over when Coinbase first learned of the incident. Coinbase said in the May SEC filing that it knew contractors accessed employee data "without business need" in "previous months." Only when it received an extortion demand on May 11 did it realize that the access was part of a wider campaign, the company said. In a statement to Reuters on Wednesday, Coinbase said the incident was recently discovered and that it had "cut ties with the TaskUs personnel involved and other overseas agents, and tightened controls." Coinbase did not disclose who the other foreign agents were. TaskUs said in a statement that two employees had been fired early this year after they illegally accessed information from a client, which it did not identify. "We immediately reported this activity to the client," the statement said. "We believe these two individuals were recruited by a much broader, coordinated criminal campaign against this client that also impacted a number of other providers servicing this client." The person familiar with the matter confirmed that Coinbase was the client and that the incident took place in January.
