Night time light increased by 43% in 10 years, know how India is filling the pace of development even at night

India is filling the pace of development even in the night. The construction works are being completed fast. As a result, the use of electricity has also increased at night. From 2012 to 2021, if we look at the figure of a decade, there has been an increase of 43 percent in the lights burning at night. The country has become more illuminated than before. Bihar is at the forefront in this matter. This claim of ISRO night time light report has been done in

The report released by ISRO’s National Remote Sensing Center (NRSC) says that states like Bihar, Manipur, Ladakh, Kerala and Arunachal Pradesh are at the forefront in terms of night time light. Know, how night time light was detected and what is the meaning of increasing night time light.

How was it detected?

To detect night time light, scientists used pictures of Earth taken from satellites. These pictures taken at night were analysed. These were called night lights. These pictures show that in which states the work is going on even at night. Human activity is increasing even at night. It also has a positive effect on the country’s economy. The report says, for example, in the last 8 years, 50 thousand kilometers of national highways have been constructed in the country. Even this has increased the figure of night time light.

Meaning of increasing night time light?

Night time light depends on many factors, such as GDP, poverty, population, use of electricity, crime rate, climate change. Over the past decade, economists have found that night time light helps measure economic growth, poverty, and inequality. Especially in those places and states where the correct information about the figures is not available or the figures do not exist at all. Its increase in night time light figures means that human activity is increasing there.

At present, data from the National Remote Sensing Center (NRSC), NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have been used to prepare the report.

This state is at the forefront of night time light in 10 years

Between 2012 and 2021, Bihar has been at the forefront of night time light. Here an increase of 474% has been registered in this figure. Other best-performing states saw significant growth in Manipur (441%), Ladakh (280%) and Kerala (119%). Whereas, Gujarat (58%), Uttar Pradesh (61%), Arunachal Pradesh (66%) and Madhya Pradesh (66%) showed an increase. Average increase in Assam, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Chhattisgarh, Chandigarh, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Odisha, Jharkhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Lakshadweep, Maharashtra, Nagaland, Odisha, Punjab, Telangana, Tripura, Uttarakhand, West Bengal Viewed.

If we look at the state-wise figures, the percentage growth has been moderate in developed states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Compared to 2012, the night time light figures here are less than 55%, while less developed states have registered an increase in terms of NTL.
