The sustainable take-off
Even as they emit CO2 from burning fuel, planes also affect the concentration of other atmospheric gases and pollutants. They generate a short-term increase, but a long-term decrease in ozone and methane, and heightened emissions of water vapour, soot, sulphur aerosols, and water contrails. One of the most prominent trends in the aviation fuel segment today is the rise and adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Derived from renewable resources such as plant oils, waste oils, and agricultural residues, SAF is seen to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, compared to traditional jet fuel. What makes aviation fuel sustainable?

Supreme Court refuses to scrap leak-hit NEET exam - Telegraph India
The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to annul this year’s NEET-UG exam saying only 150-odd candidates had benefited from the question paper leak and that scrapping the entire exam would affect the remaining successful students. But after a marathon, four-day hearing, the bench rejected a batch of PILs that had sought cancellation of the exam. The apex court said it had independently scrutinised the data placed on record by the National Testing Agency, which conducted the exam. It said that directing a retest would have serious consequences for the tens of thousands of successful and untainted candidates from among the 24 lakh who had taken the exam. This year’s NEET-UG was held at 4,750 centres across 571 Indian and 14 overseas cities, with 108,000 seats up for grabs.
