International Day of Older Persons 2025

Author

On this International Day of Older Persons, let’s make our streets safer for seniors. We can do that by creating the following: 

 Safe pedestrian crossings at busy junctions
Age-friendly public transport like low floor buses, hand rails, ramps, escalators and lifts for easier mobility. 
 Walkable, shaded footpaths for comfort
A city that cares for its elders is a city that cares for all.

CAFE norms - cleaner air + big savings for India

Author

The proposed CAFÉ norms require trucks to be 30% more fuel-efficient. Let's break this down 

Earlier: A truck used 10 litres of diesel for 100 km.

 Now: It needs only 7 litres.

That’s a 3-litre saving every 100 km → thousands of litres saved per truck every year.

Multiply that by lakhs of trucks = cleaner air  + big savings for India

We pride ourselves on our young population. Yet 66.4% of road crash victims in 2023 were between 18-45 years. Every such loss brings not only emotional trauma but also severe financial strain, especially for low-income households.

CAFE norms - 5% of the vehicles cause 71 % of the pollution

Author

Heavy-duty trucks make up only a small share of India’s fleet, but they’re responsible for 71% of transport CO₂ emissions.

With freight traffic set to rise, so will fuel use and oil imports.

Stricter fuel-efficiency norms are critical to cut pollution and save fuel.

Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFÉ) norms, introduced in 2017 under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, are rules to make vehicles more fuel-efficient.

They aim to:

Cut CO₂ emissions

Reduce oil use, especially imported oil

Lower air pollution
