Hon'ble CERC has considered 85% of Capital Cost as on COD of the station while determining AFC for the period 2011-14. A Review Petition has been filed before Hon'ble CERC on 12.07.14. The hearing before Hon'ble CERC is expected to be held shortly.
Tehri PSP comprising of four reversible pump turbine units of 250 MW each involves construction of an Underground Machine Hall on the left bank of river Bhagirathi. The main feature of the Project is the large variation of about 90 m between the maximum and minimum head, under which the reversible units shall operate. The operation of Tehri PSP is based on the concept of recycling of water discharged between upper reservoir and lower reservoir. The Tehri Dam reservoir shall function as the upper reservoir and Koteshwar reservoir as the lower balancing reservoir.
On completion, additional generating capacity of 1000 MW, peaking power will be added to the Northern Region (annual generation of 1268 million units). For pumping operation of reversible units during off-peak hours, the energy requirement will be of the order of 1712 MU limited to maximum of 1000 MW during off-peak hours. With the construction of Tehri PSP, Tehri Hydro Power Complex shall function as a major peaking station having an installed capacity of 2400 MW.
Govt. of India approved the execution of Pumped Storage Plant (4X250 MW) in July-2006, at a cost of ` 1657.60 Cr including IDC of ` 81.64 cr. at Dec.' 05 price level with debt equity ratio of 70:30.

· Accordingly and also on recommendations of Project Review Panel ( PRP) to shift the Power House to PH #4 location, a new drift avoiding Harsari village has been taken up and has been excavated up to a length of 372 RM out of 415 RM.
Rehabilitation & Resettlement :
THDC India Ltd has formulated a Rehabilitation & Resettlement policy (R&R Policy) for the Vishnugad Pipalkoti Hydro Electric Project. The Policy is based on the National Rehabilitation & Resettlement Policy 2007 (NRRP-2007) incorporating the better features considering the World Bank Guidelines on Involuntary Settlement and needs and expectations of the stakeholders. The Policy addresses the R&R issues through proactive approach and appropriate Planning on Land Acquisition. Besides disbursement of compensation by Special Land Acquisition Officer (SLAO), the Policy envisages provisions of grants and other benefits considering the categories and the Entitlements.
For effective implementation of R&R policy, Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) has been formulated so that after reasonable transition period, the affected families improve, at least regain their previous standard of living, earning capacity and production levels. For implementation of R&R activities, a reputed local NGO Shri Bhuvneshwari Mahila Ashram (SBMA) has been engaged.

Reddit Pics Pro HD
A fun app that shows you pictures from reddit. Use your finger to swipe from pic to pic!
This version is rewritten from ground up to work better on Android KitKat and newer phones. This version takes advantage of higher density screen sizes by displaying higher-res pictures. The newly re-written image slider is FAST and looks amazing. You have to try it to believe it. Pictures also load in the background, giving the smoothest experience possible. Almost every aspect of the program has been improved. It's our best app yet.
Q; What makes Reddit Pics Pro HD so FAST?
A: All images are crawled 'n' scraped on a custom remote caching server, and resized multiple times for common Android screen resolutions. This means when someone uploads a 7MB image to imgur.com, we'll make a custom version for many different phone screen sizes and serve the one that best fits your phone's screen. This saves bandwidth and makes for the fastest loading time while preserving quality. No other Reddit app does this.
* FASTEST image browsing on Android
* No ads
* Browse any subreddit & keep a favorites list
* Hold down (long press) for top comments
* More frequent picture updates
* Save pictures to SD card
* Share pictures on Facebook, e-mail, etc.
* Notifies on new pictures (optional)
* Customizable UI behavior
Keywords: Funny pictures, cats, photography, pics
$0.99/month subscription required after 30 days.
Reddit username: dustball
Reddit Classic
The goal is to enhance the browsing experience, keep it up to date and open source
Reddit Pictures
Reddit Pictures work great to use with any other reddit reader!

Geographic Information Science Minor
Geography, Urban, Environmental & Sustain Studies
College of Liberal Arts
The minor in geographic information science has as its core the study and use of geographic information systems (GIS). Central to this program are the theoretical and applied fundamentals of the collection, management, analysis, and representation of spatial data. The program builds on this core by exploring both traditional and novel methods for geo-visualization. Methods include teaching about various remote sensing technologies used to collect and classify remotely sensed data and how to use these technologies, critically discussing the implications of geo-spatial technologies on individuals and society, demonstrating how geo-spatial technologies are used effectively in urban and regional planning processes, and by exploring applications of GIS to environmental, resource and policy/management issues. The minor interweaves well with majors in anthropology, biology, chemistry, computer science, criminology, engineering, environmental sciences, geology, history, mathematics, political science, sociology, and statistics.

The Real-time Transport Control Protocol(RTCP) is designed to operate
along with Real-time Transport Protocol(RTP) in unicast, single-
source multicast and any-source multicast environments. With the
availability of overlay multicast and Application Layer
Multicast(ALM), the suitability of RTCP in such environments need to
be analyzed. The applicability of the existing RTCP reporting
architectures in overlay multicast and ALM environments are
investigated and the new features that may be required are discussed
in this document.
