we founded the slovak branch of the foundation for a civil society because we felt a need for a movement that would deal with civil society development issues and the organizational problems of local non - profit organizations in slovakia . one of our first projects was a four - year grant programme called democracy network ( demnet ) , which had a budget of us $ 3 . 3 million . this project introduced the concept of civic engagement in public matters to the general population . working on this project , we were able to gain experience in building democratic institutions and economic development , while not ignoring environmental issues . we also supported social reform projects .
what is the uniqueness about your startup ? our average age is 21 ! when we started oswald , i was 18 years old and just out of highschool , and my cto nishant was still in eleventh grade ( mahendra was 28 , don’t worry . ) today , we’re probably the youngest successful company in the industry . in just eight months , we’re an ibm global entrepreneur company , an eye focus accelerator alumnus , winner of startup india rocks , and still run by teenagers !
two months ago , 18 - year - old anand chowdhary and 15 - year - old nishant gadihoke decided to take this problem head on . the delhi - based teenagers created an app called oswald , that helps people with dsylexia , visual impairment , and learning disorders to browse the web easily . gadihoke and chowdhary teamed up while studying at the mother ' s international school .
we would work on projects as part of our school ' s computer club mnet , and have been designing and developing websites and apps for numerous organisations including google , and the government ,
said chowdhary in an interview with huffpost india .
gadihoke and chowdhary are not quite done with their project . they are currently working on releasing guidelines to the app so that the technology can be easily integrated into different websites .
we are also working on mobile apps for the android and ios platforms ,
said chowdhary adding that he and his partner see this as the next big change in the web .
after web 2 . 0 enabled websites with usability and semantic web ( web 3 . 0 ) promoted multiple protocols , we believe that oswald can enable a web 4 . 0 - - a web centred around accessibility and equality ; a web where all users are able to access all of the world ' s knowledge , regardless of their disabilities .
anand and nishant went through the research carried out by the british dyslexia association and the world wide web consortium ( w3c ) to understand how the mind of a person with dyslexia works . these studies provide specific information on the kinds of fonts and patterns that make it easy for people with learning disabilities to read . according to the research , black text on a bright yellow background in a dyslexic - friendly font called open dyslexic is useful . once a person selects dyslexia as the preference , the font and format for all the websites he / she opens in that web browser change . oswald corrects the typography , contrast ratios , and other visual elements on the web pages to make reading easier . users can also customize the quality of text based on their personal preferences .

what happened on monday is the classic example of what happens when limits are not adhered to . the generation plants , the power grids and the sub - stations have to work in tandem . an overload results in system failure . in spite of the warning issued , several states continued to overdraw power from the already overstretched generation system . the overdrawing of power caused a slight escalation in the grid frequency range , the permissible limit of which as defined by the indian electricity grid code is 49 . 5 hz to 50 . 2 hz . the escalation in the frequency ultimately caused the colossal power failure in north india on monday . as there is free flow of power in the four zones that comprise the new grid , tuesday’s tripping of the northern grid had a cascading effect on the north eastern and eastern power grids .
during this fiasco , fingers were pointed at sushilkumar shinde , the then - power minister , but poignantly no one doubted pgcil’s capability to run a national grid that enables transmission of power from one end of the country to another . it soon became apparent that the failures were due to a combination of a variety of shortcomings in the power sector — but mainly because of a lack of states enforcing grid discipline , or in short , sticking to the amount of power it needed , without overdrawing . the failure to prevent certain states , like uttar pradesh , from guzzling more power than it should have resulted in the collapse of the grid .
in addition , other important consulting assignments under implementation include strengthening of transmission network in delhi and execution of transmission system for evacuation of power from lalitpur power plant of uttar pradesh .

by august 1st the grid was sparking back to life . but the blackouts will have a lasting effect . the grit of most indians was on display : they did not start looting or killing each other . so was the magisterial arrogance of their rulers : “…this is not something new to us , ” said the chairman of power grid corporation , the state - owned body that runs the power - transmission network . “the country is in safe hands . ”

the second massive breakdown in as many days was caused by the continuing grid indiscipline on the part of the state electricity boards ( sebs ) and power utilities that overdrew power from an already overstretched generation system . on monday , the northern grid collapsed and it was restored after 15 hours . the eastern and north - eastern transmission lines too failed on tuesday afternoon .
the transmission network is not the only vulnerable part of the power supply chain , which is one giant bottleneck . frequent minor blackouts are common . as a result most large firms , and even india’s airports , have backup generators or their own mini - power stations .
by reducing wastage of power during transmission we can get enough power to supply in the rural areas and the cost of power will also be reduced at the same time ,

the cause of the failure ? certain states in the northern region overdrew power , which led to the tripping and ultimate collapse of the northern grid . a blame game ensued with states accusing each other for the mayhem caused . it is being speculated that uttar pradesh , haryana and punjab overdrew power , but they have refuted these claims . one of the possible reasons for overdrawing power is the deficient rainfall , which meant increased use of electric pumps to withdraw water for farming in these agricultural states . but how did this snowball into a major power crisis that affected over 20 states ?

owing to the size of our country , and the fact that the power generating plants are scattered across the terrain , we have a very complex power transmission network in place . but its functioning , from power generation to power distribution is more or less the same across all regional zones . in each zone , power from various power plants is subjected to inter - state transmission , wherein the regional load dispatch centres monitor and control its distribution to the various states in each zone as scheduled . the next step is intra - state transmission , wherein the state load dispatch centre allocates power to various areas within the state , and then at local level . ( view diagram in the infographic ) . the power is generated at very high voltage , but stepped down at each substation .

india , a major importer of coal from indonesia , has doubled its production targets , aiming to produce 1 . 5 billion tons of coal by 2020 . the intent is to reduce its import dependence and provide coal to the underutilized thermal power plants in the country . india is also rapidly expanding its coal - fired electricity generation capacity , with around 113 gw of new capacity already under construction in addition to the 205 gw of existing capacity . in 2012 , electricity generated from sub - critical coal - fired thermal plants accounted for 71 percent of india’s electricity generation and this scenario is expected to change only slightly in the next two to three years . given the investments underway and the abundance of the resource in the country , coal will undoubtedly continue to play a dominant part in india’s energy mix .
it is true that other parts of india’s infrastructure are in somewhat better shape . a vast effort has been made over the past decade to stiffen india’s economic backbone , and the results can be seen from a new airport in delhi and a metro system in bangalore to the availability of a mobile - phone signal almost everywhere .
