Curiosity Reveals Ancient Glaciers on the Red Planet

Last month NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover completed a Martian year, which amounts to 687 Earth days, traversing the reddish, arid landscape. The vehicle has ploughed through the red planet and is currently rolling through the Martian crater, Gale.
The Curiosity Rover’s sojourn may have increased the curiosity of scientists worldwide, as it has found evidence that would suggest water existed on the planet once. Scientists of the space agency say that ancient Mars had large quantities of water, which, due to the global hydro-geological cycle, led to the presence of a humongous ocean.

Present and Future of Indian Economy and its Growth

Indian EconomyDespite an economist as Prime Minister for 10 years and a well oriented planning commission working in tandem with the economic affairs committee, the UPA government failed to provide the spark needed for an Indian growth story boost. The fag end of the UPA II government was lackluster and muted owing to political compulsions and announcement of populist schemes and measures that didn't made much economic sense. 

Now with a new pro development government headed by Narendra Modi at the helm of affairs, economic analysts and experts are hoping that the Indian economic growth story is bound to gain a positive momentum. With the Indian economy growing at a dismal rate of less than 5% effecting revenue growth, the revival of the economy is likely to come with some hard measures.
