Bio: PV Sindhu is the first ever women's singles player to win a medal at the World Championships, where she won the bronze in 2013 and 2014. Injuries have let her down throughout her career but she will be a dark horse in the women's singles event at Rio.
3) SRIKANTH KIDAMBI

He clinched the Syed Modi International this year and won two more gold medals at the 2016 South Asian Games.
Bio: The past two years have been terrific for Srikanth as he became the first Indian male to win the Swiss Open Grand Prix and clinched the India Open Super Series right after that, on both occasions he defeated Viktor Axelsen in the finals. The China Open win will always be special for him while he also has a Thailand Open Grand Prix title to his credit.
4) DEEPIKA KUMARI
Discipline: Archery
Recent performances: One of India's biggest medal hopes, Deepika Kumari had to settle for silver in the mixed recurve pair event at the Archery World Cup in Kazakhstan.

5) BOMBAYLA DEVI

6) LAXMIRANI MAJHI
Discipline: Archery
Recent performances: Laxmirani Majhi will be making her maiden appearance at the Olympics this year. She clinched a silver medal in the individual recurve event and the team event at the 2015 Archery World Championships in Copenhagen last year, which got her a ticket to Rio.
Bio: Laxmirani is the least experienced in her team comprising of Deepika Kumari and Bombayla Devi. But her consistency leading up to the Games has been impressive. She is also one of the most accurate archers going around, one who can gets the 10s quite frequently.
7) IRFAN KOLOTHUM THODI 
Discipline: 20km racewalk
Recent performances: Irfan, popularly known as KT, narrowly missed out on the bronze medal at the 2013 IAAF World Walking Challenge where he was controversially disqualified from the race after committing three fouls. He came fourth in the Rio Olympic qualification event to secure his second consecutive Olympic berth for India.

8) TINTU LUKA
Discipline: Women's 800m
Recent performances: Tintu Luka is being trained by legendary Indian athlete P.T. Usha and she made it to the Rio Olympic squad thanks to a time of 2:00.95 minutes at the 2015 World Athletics Championships in Beijing. She secured a gold in the Asian Athletics Championships in the 800m event and won a silver in the 4x400m relay.
Bio: Tintu's impressive record includes a silver medal at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon and a gold in the women's 4x400m relay in the same competition, which also saw India clinch its fourth consecutive gold since 2002.
9) VIKAS GOWDA
Discipline: Discus
Recent performances: Vikas made it to the Rio-bound squad after IAAF lowered its entry standards for athletes in order to have more participation in the track and field events during the games. He suffered a minor shoulder injury recently making him doubtful for the Games. But his father has assured that the ace discus thrower will be fit before the Olympics.
Bio: Vikas Gowda is being touted as one of the major medal hopefuls for India. Based in the United States, Vikas finished in eighth place in the London Games finals.

GA Study Notes On Cement Manufacturing

By
Manufacturing of Cement Cement is essential for construction activity such as building houses, factories, bridges, roads, airports, dams and for other commercial establishments.The first cement plant was set up in Chennai in 1904.It was discovered by an English Mason, Joseph Aspdin in 1824. He called it Portland cement because he thought that it resembled the limestone found in Portland. Approximate Composition of Portland cement Calcium oxide (CaO) 60-70% Silica (SiO 2 ) 20-25% Alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) 5-10% Ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3  )         2-3% Raw materials are: Limestone -  (provides lime), Clay -  (provides alumina and silica), Gypsum - (reduces the setting time of cement). For a good quality cement, the ratio of silica (SiO) to alumina Al 2 O 3 ) should be between 2.5 and 4 and the ratio of lime (CaO) to the total of the oxides of silicon (SiO 2 ) aluminium (Al 2 O 3 ) and iron (Fe 2 O 3 ) should be as close as possible to 2. The raw materials for the manufacture of cement
