- केंद्रीय आलू अनुसंधान संस्थान (सीपीआरआई) शिमला के वैज्ञानिकों ने आलू की लजीज और करारी जलेबी तैयार की है। अभी तक आलू के चिप्स, फ्रेंच फ्राई, कुकीज और दलिया ही तैयार किया जाता रहा है, लेकिन अब उपभोक्ताओं के लिए आलू की स्वादिष्ट और कुरकुरी जलेबी भी खाने के लिए मिलेगी। आलू की इस जलेबी का आठ माह तक स्वाद नहीं बिगडे़गा और चासनी में डुबोकर इसका लुत्फ उठाया जा सकेगा।

- सपनों के टूटने से किस तरह नए सपने संजोते हुए जिंदगी को सफलता की राह दिखाई जाती है, यह अरविंद से सीखना चाहिए। बचपन से क्रिकेटर बनने का जुनून था। इस सपने के साथ वे वर्ष 2019 में बेंगलुरु गए। मगर राह नहीं खुल पाई। घर लौटे तो निराशा में डूबे हुए थे।

- At the heart of the machine is its camera equipment: one a CCD video camera with a range of two kilometres in daylight plus an EO/IR (Electro-Optical/Infra-Red thermal camera with a range of 600 metres.
