FACTS ABOUT earth DAT U'LL NEVER BELIEVE ........................


**********************************************
1. The longest city name is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndro bwllllantysiliogogogoch. It means "St. Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the Red Cave". Isn't that obvious?
2. The driest place on Earth isn't the Sahara. In fact, it's near Ross Island in Antarctica where it hasn’t rained for millions of years.

3. The world’s biggest pyramid is NOT in Egypt. It's in Mexico and it is called the Cholula.
4. What do you think the largest city in the world is? Beijing? New-York? Actually, it's Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia (263,953 sq km)
5. San Marino claims to be the world’s oldest constitutional republic – it was founded in 301 by a Christian stonemason fleeing persecution under Emperor Diocletian.
6. The deepest hole ever drilled by men is the Kola Superdeep Borehole, in Russia. It is 12 km deep!
7. The coldest capital in the world is... No, it's not Moscow. It's Ulan Bator (Mongolia).

8. The state capital of Montpelier Vermont is the only state capital in the U.S., where you will find no McDonald’s. No matter how hard you try. Because it just isn't there.
9. Saudi Arabia doesn’t have any river. Not a single one. Even a small one. Yes, sir.
10. The Great Wall of China is NOT the only man made construction that you can see from space (as you can read in magazines)

NITI Ayog :- The Government has replaced Planning Commission with a new institution named NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India). A cabinet Resolution issued today gave details of the new institutions.  The institutional framework of government has developed and matured over the years.   This has allowed the development of domain expertise which allows us the chance to increase the specificity of functions given to institutions.  Specific to the planning process, there is a need to separate as well as energize the distinct ‘process’ of governance from the ‘strategy’ of governance. 1).
