What is the mandated blending target for Compressed Bio Gas (CBG) in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Piped Natural Gas (PNG) networks by Financial Year 2028-2029 (FY29)?
Here is how scaling Compressed Bio Gas (CBG) will boost our circular economy

โFor emerging economies like India, Generative AI is not about replacing jobs, it is about supercharging the workforce.
Here is why the focus must shift from building expensive frontier models to building local applications:
โ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ:
Emerging economies must leverage GenAI for workforce augmentation over automation, democratizing high-cost expertise at near-zero marginal cost.

Only 4.5 to 11 percent of jobs in emerging economies face automation risk, compared to approximately 30 percent in advanced nations.
โ๐๐ด๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐น๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ:
For Indias 500 million plus agri-dependent population, AI acts as a vital decision-support tool rather than replacing physical labor.

Shift focus from building capital-intensive frontier models and compute infrastructure to the downstream application layer.
โ๐ช๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ:
Develop voice-first, local-language AI interfaces to augment grassroots workers like farmers, nurses, and micro-entrepreneurs.
