By Yuvraj Singh

Rajasthan, the largest state in India by area, is known for its arid climate, vast deserts, and historical heritage. However, beneath its sandy surface lies a wealth of natural resources, including fossil fuels like petroleum, natural gas, and lignite (a type of brown coal). These resources are crucial for energy production and industrial development, both in the state and across the country.

  1. Petroleum Resources in Rajasthan

Rajasthan emerged as a significant player in India’s petroleum sector after a major oil discovery in the early 2000s. Although small oil and gas reserves had been known in the Jaisalmer Basin since the 1990s, the true potential of Rajasthan’s oil reserves was realized in 2004 when Cairn Energy (now Vedanta Ltd.) discovered large hydrocarbon deposits in the Barmer Basin.

a. Barmer Oil Fields

The Barmer Basin, located in western Rajasthan, is home to the Mangala, Bhagyam, and Aishwarya (MBA) fields. These are among the largest onshore oil fields in India. The total estimated reserves are over 3.6 billion barrels of oil equivalent, of which around 1 billion barrels are recoverable.

Oil production in this region began in 2009, and at its peak, it has contributed over 25% of India’s total domestic crude oil production. The Mangala Processing Terminal is the primary processing facility for crude oil, and a specialized heated pipeline transports the crude to refineries in Gujarat.

This development significantly boosted Rajasthan’s economy, generating employment, infrastructure, and revenue for the state government. The success of these oil fields has also encouraged further exploration and investment in the hydrocarbon sector.

b. Jaisalmer Basin

The Jaisalmer Basin, covering districts like Jaisalmer, Barmer, and Bikaner, also contains smaller petroleum and natural gas reserves. Though the quantity of recoverable oil and gas is lower compared to the Barmer Basin, the area holds potential for further development. ONGC and other public and private sector entities continue to explore this basin for hydrocarbons.

  1. Natural Gas in Rajasthan

Natural gas in Rajasthan is mainly found in the Jaisalmer Basin. The gas discovered here is primarily used for limited industrial and domestic purposes, and efforts are ongoing to increase production and infrastructure for its use. Unlike oil, Rajasthan’s natural gas production is relatively low, but the presence of reserves suggests that with advanced technology and further exploration, it could be scaled up in the future.

Natural gas exploration and production is being carried out by companies like ONGC, Focus Energy, and Vedanta. The extracted gas is used for local consumption and in compressed natural gas (CNG) networks in select urban areas.

  1. Lignite (Brown Coal) Deposits

Rajasthan is also rich in lignite, a low-grade form of coal that is used primarily in thermal power generation. Major lignite deposits are found in the Bikaner-Nagaur Basin, particularly in the districts of Bikaner, Barmer, Nagaur, and Jaisalmer.

a. Key Lignite Mining Areas

Barsingsar (Bikaner district): This is one of the most significant lignite mining areas in the state. Mining operations are managed by Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) in collaboration with the Rajasthan government.

Palana and Kapoori (near Bikaner): These lignite fields are also important for local power generation.

Merta Road (Nagaur district) and Giral (Barmer district) are other notable lignite-bearing areas.

b. Power Generation

The lignite extracted from these regions is primarily used to fuel thermal power plants. Notable among them is the Barsingsar Thermal Power Station, which generates electricity for regional use. The Giral Lignite Power Plant in Barmer also contributes to the state’s energy needs.

Rajasthan State Mines and Minerals Limited (RSMML) plays a major role in lignite mining and exploration. These lignite-based power projects have helped provide electricity to remote and rural areas of the state, improving living standards and promoting development.

  1. Economic and Strategic Importance

The development of fossil fuel resources in Rajasthan has had multiple benefits:

Revenue Generation: The petroleum and lignite sectors contribute significantly to the state’s revenue through royalties and taxes.

Employment: These industries generate direct and indirect employment for thousands of people.

Infrastructure Development: Roads, pipelines, and other infrastructure have been developed to support fossil fuel extraction and transportation.

Energy Security: The oil and lignite produced in Rajasthan help reduce India’s dependence on imported fossil fuels.

  1. Environmental Concerns and Sustainability

While fossil fuels have contributed greatly to the state’s development, they also raise environmental issues. Mining and drilling activities can lead to land degradation, groundwater depletion, and air and water pollution. Burning fossil fuels contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, which in turn accelerate climate change.

To address these concerns, the Rajasthan government is actively promoting renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy. In fact, Rajasthan is now a leader in solar energy production in India. The transition to cleaner energy sources is being pursued alongside the continued use of fossil fuels, aiming for a balanced energy mix.

Conclusion

Rajasthan’s fossil fuel resources—particularly oil in the Barmer Basin and lignite in the Bikaner-Nagaur Basin—have played a vital role in the state’s economic and industrial growth. With careful management, continued investment, and a focus on sustainability, these resources can continue to benefit the state while supporting India’s broader energy needs. However, it is equally important to transition toward renewable energy sources and minimize the environmental impact of fossil fuel extraction a use of resources.

“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children,” says an American Indian proverb. Going in the same content, May 22 is celebrated as the International Day for Biological Diversity across the globe. Let’ see the significance of the day and study its biological diversity.

What is International Day for Biological Diversity?

The International Day for Biological Diversity, celebrated annually on May 22, is a United Nations initiative to raise awareness about protecting biodiversity. It highlights the critical role ecosystems play in addressing climate change, ensuring food security, supporting indigenous communities, and promoting sustainable development. In India, where biodiversity is vast and vibrant, this day holds special significance as climate change threatens ecosystems and livelihoods.

India’s Biodiversity and Climate Change

India is home to diverse ecosystems, from the Himalayas to coastal mangroves, hosting over 91,000 animal species and 45,000 plant species. However, climate change poses severe risks, including rising temperatures, erratic monsoons, and extreme weather events like floods and droughts. These changes disrupt habitats, threaten species like tigers and elephants, and impact agriculture, which millions depend on. For instance, warming temperatures in the Western Ghats endanger unique species, while melting Himalayan glaciers affect water availability for rivers like the Ganges.

Why Protecting Biodiversity Matters

Biodiversity is India’s natural shield against climate change. Forests absorb carbon dioxide, mangroves protect coastlines from storms, and wetlands regulate water cycles. Healthy ecosystems ensure food security by supporting pollinators like bees, vital for crops. They also sustain indigenous communities who rely on forests and rivers for their livelihoods. By preserving biodiversity, India can build resilience against climate impacts, reduce poverty, and promote sustainable development.

India’s Efforts and the Way Forward

India has taken steps like afforestation, wildlife conservation, and renewable energy adoption to combat climate change. Programs like the National Biodiversity Action Plan aim to protect ecosystems. However, more action is needed reducing deforestation, promoting eco-friendly farming, and raising awareness. On International Day for Biological Diversity, let’s pledge to protect India’s natural heritage for a sustainable, climate-resilient future.

Jayant Narlikar and the Hoyle-Narlikar Theory of Gravity

Jayant Narlikar, the eminent Indian astrophysicist, passed away on May 20, 2025, leaving behind a rich legacy in theoretical physics. He is best known for co-developing the Hoyle-Narlikar Theory of Gravity, a groundbreaking model proposed in 1964 with British cosmologist Fred Hoyle. The theory sought to extend Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity by introducing novel concepts that challenged the prevailing cosmological views of the time.

Background: Incorporating Mach’s Principle

At the heart of the Hoyle-Narlikar theory was an effort to incorporate Mach’s Principle, which suggests that the inertia of a body is determined by its interaction with the rest of the matter in the universe. While Einstein was inspired by this idea, he did not fully integrate it into his general relativity framework. Hoyle and Narlikar took a more literal approach, proposing that an object’s mass and inertia arise from its relationship with all other masses in the cosmos.

Key Concepts of the Theory

The theory posits that no object exists in isolation—each celestial body’s gravitational characteristics are influenced by all others. For example, the mass of the Earth is not a standalone property but is shaped by its interaction with the Sun and other cosmic entities. This interconnectedness implies that a universe devoid of matter is fundamentally unimaginable.

The Creation Field (C-field)

One of the most innovative elements of the Hoyle-Narlikar theory is the introduction of a Creation Field, or C-field. This hypothetical field is thought to produce negative energy, enabling the continuous creation of matter. The C-field supports the steady-state cosmological model, which asserts that the universe has no beginning or end and is eternally expanding—yet never thinning—because new matter is constantly being formed.

Steady-State Cosmology vs. Big Bang Theory

The steady-state theory stands in direct contrast to the Big Bang theory, which posits that the universe originated around 13.8 billion years ago in a singular, explosive event. According to Hoyle and Narlikar, if the universe is continuously expanding, it should become increasingly empty. To counter this, their theory suggests that the C-field continuously generates hydrogen atoms to maintain a uniform cosmic density.

Challenges and Legacy

The Hoyle-Narlikar theory faced significant setbacks following the 1965 discovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation, widely interpreted as the afterglow of the Big Bang. The CMB provided compelling evidence in support of the Big Bang model, leading to a decline in acceptance of the steady-state theory.

Despite this, the Hoyle-Narlikar theory remains influential for its bold attempt to integrate Mach’s Principle into gravity and for presenting an alternative vision of cosmic evolution. Jayant Narlikar’s work continues to inspire cosmologists seeking deeper insights into the structure and origin of the universe

WHO Recognises Austria, Norway, Oman and Singapore for Leadership in Eliminating Trans Fats

By

The World Health Organization (WHO) has officially recognized four countries—Austria, Norway, Oman, and Singapore—for their leadership in eliminating industrially produced trans fats from their food supply. The countries were awarded validation certificates during the 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva, signifying successful implementation of best-practice policies and robust monitoring systems.

While these recognitions mark a significant milestone, global progress in eliminating trans fats remains sluggish. As of May 2025, only 60 countries have adopted effective trans fat elimination policies, covering just 46% of the world’s population.

Understanding Trans Fats

Trans fats, or trans-fatty acids (TFA), are unsaturated fats found in both natural and industrial forms. While naturally occurring trans fats exist in small amounts in meat and dairy products, industrially produced trans fats—commonly found in baked goods, fried foods, margarine, and vegetable shortening—pose a severe health risk. These harmful fats are linked to over 278,000 deaths globally each year, primarily due to cardiovascular diseases.

WHO’s 2018 Call to Action

In 2018, WHO launched a global initiative calling for the elimination of industrially produced trans fats by the end of 2025. The initial goal was to ensure countries representing 90% of the global trans fat burden adopted elimination measures. At the time, only 11 countries had implemented best-practice policies, covering just 6% of the global population. WHO has since revised its goal to achieve at least 70% policy coverage in each region by 2025.

Policy Implementation and Global Progress

The newly recognized countries have shown that eliminating trans fats is feasible with strong public health policies, industry collaboration, and consistent enforcement. India, for example, has made significant progress by capping trans fats in food products to 2% since January 2022. In Africa, both South Africa and Nigeria have introduced best-practice policies as part of their national health strategies.

Economic and Health Benefits

Eliminating industrial trans fats is among the most cost-effective public health interventions. According to WHO, replacing trans fats with healthier alternatives can reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases, lower healthcare costs, and improve population health. This preventive measure also offers long-term economic benefits by enhancing productivity and reducing premature mortality.

WHO’s Continued Commitment

WHO reaffirmed its commitment to supporting countries in the global fight against trans fats. The organization is now accepting applications for the third round of its validation program, open until August 31, 2025. To qualify, countries must adopt WHO-recommended best-practice policies and demonstrate strict enforcement and compliance mechanisms.

Nestled in the lush Satpura Range, the Jatashankar Caves near Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh, are a captivating blend of natural wonder and spiritual significance. Known as the “Queen of Satpura,” Pachmarhi is a serene hill station, and the Jatashankar Caves are one of its most revered attractions. This sacred site, steeped in mythology and adorned with geological marvels, draws pilgrims, nature lovers, and adventure enthusiasts alike. Here’s an in-depth look at the Jatashankar Caves and why they are a must-visit destination.

A Sacred Haven with Mythological Roots

The Jatashankar Caves, located just 1.5 km from Pachmarhi’s bus station, are revered as a sacred Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. The name “Jatashankar” derives from “Jata,” meaning matted hair, and “Shankar,” another name for Shiva, reflecting the cave’s rock formations that resemble Shiva’s iconic matted locks. According to Hindu mythology, this limestone cave served as a hiding place for Lord Shiva when he sought refuge from the demon Bhasmasura, who had gained the power to turn anyone to ash. The cave’s spiritual aura is amplified by a naturally formed Shivalingam, one of 108 such lingams within the cave, which devotees worship under the shadow of a massive rock. The cave’s ceiling also features a formation resembling the hundred-headed snake Sheshnag, a mythological serpent associated with Lord Vishnu, adding to its divine allure.

Geological Marvels and Natural Beauty

The Jatashankar Caves are a geological masterpiece, characterised by stalactites and stalagmites that create an ethereal ambiance. Situated in a deep ravine with enormous boulders perched above, the cave offers a dramatic setting that captivates visitors. A unique feature is the presence of two ponds one with cold water and another with hot fed by natural springs. The mysterious “Gupt Ganga” stream, whose origin remains unknown, flows through the cave, believed to be the source of the Jambu Dwip stream. The cave’s cool interior, resonating with the chirping of birds, provides a tranquil escape from the outside world. The surrounding greenery and prehistoric hills enhance the cave’s serene and mystical atmosphere, making it a haven for nature lovers.

The Journey to Jatashankar

Visiting the Jatashankar Caves involves a short trek that adds an element of adventure. Tourists must walk approximately 1 km from the parking area and descend about 150 steps to reach the cave temple. The path, lined with vendors selling ayurvedic oils and shilajit, offers a glimpse into local culture. The descent can be challenging for the elderly, but the experience of wading through cold, gushing water to reach the Shivalingam is thrilling, even for non-believers. Hiring a local guide, often available for as little as INR 40-100, is recommended to uncover hidden gems, such as a floating stone or rock formations resembling deities like Ganesha and Hanuman.

Cultural and Spiritual Significance

The Jatashankar Caves are a focal point during the Maha Shivaratri festival, celebrated in February or March, when thousands of pilgrims flock to Pachmarhi for an annual fair. The cave’s spiritual energy, enhanced by the natural Shivalingam and the chanting of devotees, creates a profound experience. The site’s connection to Lord Shiva and its mythological significance make it a must-visit for those seeking spiritual fulfillment.
