173. Food writer Pawan Soni noticed a new trend recently. A second white revolution was slowly spreading across India.About 48 years after a movement transformed India from a milk-deficient nation to the world’s largest milk producer, Soni is seeing a flurry of queries on how and where to get pure cow milk. His Facebook platform has seen conversations around quality and safety of milk growing manifold â€" all thanks to premium milk.Farm to TablePremium milk is not another fancy term, says Kanika Yadav, who started Whyte Farms in Alwar to cater to areas in Delhi-NCR. It is fresh, unadulterated and uncontaminated milk delivered within 8-12 hours of milking, explains the teacherturned-entrepreneur who has 200 cows. The first few months of her entrepreneurial venture were spent in educating people in her social circle about premium milk. “I had to explain the difference between the dairy milk we get in pouches and what I was planning. A dairy is just a milk aggregator. It collects milk from villages, processes and packs it before sending it to retailers. The process involves mixing several varieties and may take up to four days. This eliminated freshness and one has no chance of knowing the source of the milk.”
174. Every year, a number of children run away from homes. While there is no definitive data about them, many are rescued by officials of the Indian Railways. These numbers can be deemed indicative of the larger trend.Now, a disturbing trend is emerging: the number of eloping girls is rising alarmingly, compared with the number of boys. Data show the Indian Railways (IR) rescued 1,037 underaged runaway girls in the first six months of this calendar year. They were not being trafficked or kidnapped. Nor were they accidentally separated from their families during travel. They simply ran away from their residences. The railway data is important as runaways prefer to catch a train, instead of a bus, say officials. The chances of being caught are considered lower in railways, they add.
175. Humans follow processes, algorithms make decisions. This is the logic underpinning an Amazon Fulfilment Centre, the hightech warehouses that are primed to ship parcels with zero error and lightning speed, to impatient customers all over the country. Amazon says it reaches all of the 20,500 pin codes in India.The American retail giant now has 50 such warehouses across India. It recently opened DEL 5, a facility near Manesar in Haryana, its sixth such warehouse in the state. “These fulfilment centres help us serve sellers on our platform as well as the buyers. When an FC opens in an area, a lot of small businesses in that region get a big boost,” says Akhil Saxena, VP for customer fulfilment at Amazon, during a recent tour of the facility.DEL 5 sprawls across 300,000 sq ft, an area that can fit 55 basketball courts. In the US, Amazon’s largest FC has a floor area of 1 million square feet. There is a lot of focus on safety. In the event of a fire alarm, the entire facility is evacuated in 90 seconds.65369788
