#Leh: DRDO's Defence Institute of High Altitude Research (DIHAR) is working on cultivating vegetables for troops who are to be stationed along the India-China border in this coming winter season
"The Army is stationed in a very harsh place where it is hard to find a suitable substrate to support plant growth. With this microgreens technology, our jawans will be able to eat fresh & nutritious food while being deployed," says Dr Dorjee, scientist, DIHAR
We also have underground greenhouses. Another approach is to develop storage mechanisms of shelving vegetables in winter. It is a zero energy-based storage technology which will help store potatoes, cauliflowers & carrots for 4-5 months,” says Dr OP Chaurasia, Director, DIHAR

Proposition: #Banks won't rally because rates -long & short- are too low; #Japan is our marker, banks there falling while US/#EZ rose pre-#GFC, not gaining afterward; Also v-a-v EZ peers, #US bank returns were anomalous, ergo can't be repeated. 1/x
Response: Banks make money by increasing charges in the absence of NIM
NB: When long rates are artificially suppressed & flattened to/thru 0%, opportunity cost vanishes and demand for money -as a savings medium, not a transactional tool - RISES 2/x

It wasn’t low rates per se that held #Japan banks back, post 1989, but scattered failures and an heroic amount of write-offs and restructurings of their toxic, bubble-era legacy - something which helped the country’s eventual, creditable real per capita GDP recovery. 3/x
