The rainfall (in mm) for West Rajasthan is shown to be more than that
in East Rajasthan, from the year 2017 to 2020. |
The rainfall received by East Rajasthan should be more. The rows have
most likely been exchanged. |

The year ”2020” given in the last five rows in the Hindi

Number over cyclonic storms formed over the North Indian Ocean in
2021: month-wise count (2+1+1) is not tallying with the total (5). |
From what I could find, the total is 5, so there should be one more
cyclonic storm accounted for. |

There are many major environment-related higher education courses.
Here, only Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Sericulture, Marine
Engineering, Mining Engineering, Urban Planning, Agricultural Engineering,
Zoology, Botany and Environmental Science are mentioned. Only Ph.D., M.Phil. and Post-Graduate level courses have been
included. |
Disciplines like Fishery Science, Veterinary Science and Animal
Husbandry, Wildlife Biology, Biotechnology, Environment Engineering, Energy
Engineering, Sustainable Architecture, Atmospheric Science, Earth Science,
Climate Science and Environmental Law and Journalism could also have been
included. Most of these courses are majors offered by central institutions like
IITs, IISc, IISERs and CUs and state universities themselves at the
undergraduate level too. In fact, I am a student of B. Tech. Energy and Environmental
Engineering at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore and I was
disappointed on seeing that my course and many other important courses have
been ignored in the survey. |

Despite the fact the Indian roads are seeing so many electric
vehicles now, which are powered by Lithium batteries, lithium has not been
accounted for. The word “lithium” is nowhere in the report, even though the
metal is now the backbone of energy and transportation. |
India barely has any lithium reserves and therefore all of our
lithium requirements (nearly all electronic devices, from smartphones to EVs)
are met only through imports. This should have been accounted for in
Statement 2.03. |
