Prime Minister on Saturday announced the Aatmanirbhar Innovation Challenge, inviting India’s tech and community to create an Aatmanirbhar App Ecosystem.
The project was launched by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in partnership with the Atal Innovation Mission and government think-tank Niti Aayog.
“Today there is immense enthusiasm among the tech & start-up community to create world-class ‘Made in India’ Apps. To facilitate their ideas and products @GoI_MeitY and @AIMtoInnovate are launching the Aatmanirbhar Bharat App Innovation Challenge,” he tweeted.
PM Modi also urges the techies and start-up community to participate if they have such a vision and expertise to create the products.
“This challenge is for you if you have such a working product or if you feel you have the vision and expertise to create such products. I urge all my friends in the tech community to participate.” PM Modi tweeted.
Addressing the tech community through a post on LinkedIn, PM Modi said: “Today, when the entire nation is working towards creating an Aatmanirbhar Bharat, it is a good opportunity to give direction to their efforts, momentum to their hard-work and mentorship to their talent to evolve Apps which can satisfy our market as well as compete with the world.”
This challenge will run in two tracks–Promotion of existing apps and development of new apps.”Track-01 will work in mission mode for identifying good quality Apps for the leader-board and shall be completed in around a month. The Track-02 initiative will work to help create new champions in India by providing support in ideation, incubation, prototyping, and roll out along with market access,” he wrote in the post.
The first track of the challenge is being launched in eight categories, which includes Office Productivity & Work from Home, Social Networking, E-Learning, Entertainment, Health & Wellness, Business including Agritech and Fintech, News and Games.
The outcome of this challenge will be to give better visibility and clarity to existing Apps to achieve their goals and to create tech products to find solutions to tech conundrums with the help of mentorship, tech support, and guidance during the entire life-cycle, he wrote.
After the banning of 59 Chinese apps –Tiktok, Helo Mi community and 56 others– in the country it will be a great opportunity not only for the existing tech companies but also for the start-ups too.
Prime Minister Modi in his post said that there is tremendous scope among these sectors for new Apps that solve specific issues for India and the world.”Can we think of making traditional Indian games more popular via Apps? Can we develop Apps with targeted and smart access to the right age group for learning, gaming, etc? Can we develop gaming apps for people in rehabilitation or getting counselling to help them in their journey? There are many such questions and technology alone can creatively give answers,” said PM Modi.
With this statement he questioned as well as challenged the Indian techies to utilise this opportunity for the betterment of the Nation.
This innovation challenge can be accessed through the MyGov platform from July 4. Companies will have to submit their entries by July 18 through an online submission process.
The government will provide the assistance for each of the tracks, which will include personnel from the private sector and academia to evaluate the entries.
Post evaluation, these apps will be given awards and features on “leaderboards for information of citizens”. The government has allocated ₹20 lakh, ₹15 lakh and ₹10 lakh for the first, second and third placed apps in each category. Further the winners of sub-categories will get ₹5 lakh, ₹3 lakh and ₹2 lakh for first, second and third position, respectively.
Environment is a place critically place around us,if we go through the dictionary meaning then it will include each and every thing which somehow related to our life. It can be living (biotic) or non-living (abiotic) things. It includes physical, chemical and other natural forces. Living things live in their environment. They constantly interact with it and adapt themselves to conditions in their environment. In the environment there are different interactions between animals, plants, soil, water, and other living and non-living things.
A person’s beliefs and actions depend on his environment. Modern people mostly think it is wrong to own slaves. But in Jefferson’s and Caesar’s environments slavery was normal. So, their actions did not look as wrong in their societies. Its simple definition is:
Interaction between human and environment in the past.
Although it is the surviving medium for all the organism ,but our need and greed have ruined it and pushing it to the dark line future
Below are the discussed aspects:-
Environmental pollution is one of the most serious global challenges. Wild-type organisms have a slower degradation rate of hazardous materials. Currently, advanced molecular biology tools along with conventional approaches allow us to rapidly degrade or accumulate hazardous materials from environments. This can help modify microorganisms to gain the ability to sense and degrade hazardous chemicals from contaminated sites, in turn, allowing us to grow vegetation and improve crop productivity. In this chapter, conventional and advanced molecular biology tools for the removal and detoxification of contaminants from soil and water to improve environmental conditions are highlighted.
1.Pollution Science
Environmental pollution is the unfavorable alteration of our surroundings, wholly or largely as a byproduct of man’s actions, through direct or indirect effects of the changes in the energy pattern, radiation levels, and chemical and physical constitution and abundance of organisms. Environmental pollution is a global problem and is common to both developed as well as developing countries, which attracts the attention of human beings for its severe long-term consequences. The decline in environmental quality as a consequence of pollution is evidenced by loss of vegetation, biological diversity, excessive amounts of harmful chemicals in the ambient atmosphere and in food grains, and growing risks of environmental accidents and threats to life support systems.
Depending on the nature of pollutants and also subsequent pollution of environmental components, the pollution may be categorized as follows:
1.Air Pollution
2.Water Pollution
3.Soil/Land Pollution
4.Noise Pollution
5.Radioactive Pollution
Pollution affect on human health
According to WHO
As the world gets hotter and more crowded, our engines continue to pump out dirty emissions, and half the world has no access to clean fuels or technologies (e.g. stoves, lamps), the very air we breathe is growing dangerously polluted: nine out of ten people now breathe polluted air, which kills 7 million people every year.
The health effects of air pollution are serious – one third of deaths from stroke, lung cancer and heart disease are due to air pollution. This is having an equivalent effect to that of smoking tobacco, and much higher than, say, the effects of eating too much salt.Facebook live: special talk on climate change with Arnold Schwarzenegger Air pollution is hard to escape, no matter how rich an area you live in. It is all around us. Microscopic pollutants in the air can slip past our body’s defences, penetrating deep into our respiratory and circulatory system, damaging our lungs, heart and brain.
Air pollution is closely linked to climate change – the main driver of climate change is fossil fuel combustion which is also a major contributor to air pollution – and efforts to mitigate one can improve the other. This month, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that coal-fired electricity must end by 2050 if we are to limit global warming rises to 1.5C. If not, we may see a major climate crisis in just 20 years.
Meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement to combat climate change could save about a million lives a year worldwide by 2050 through reductions in air pollution alone. The economic benefits from tackling air pollution are significant: in the 15 countries that emit the most greenhouse gas emissions, the health impacts of air pollution are estimated to cost more than 4% of their GDP.
“The true cost of climate change is felt in our hospitals and in our lungs. The health burden of polluting energy sources is now so high, that moving to cleaner and more sustainable choices for energy supply, transport and food systems effectively pays for itself,” says Dr Maria Neira, WHO Director of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health.
Air Pollution Effects
We release a variety of chemicals into the atmosphere when we burn the fossil fuels we use every day. We breathe air to live and what we breathe has a direct impact on our health.
Breathing polluted air puts you at a higher risk for asthma and other respiratory diseases.
When exposed to ground ozone for 6 to 7 hours, scientific evidence show that healthy people’s lung function decreased and they suffered from respiratory inflammation.
Air pollutants are mostly carcinogens and living in a polluted area can put people at risk of Cancer.
Coughing and wheezing are common symptoms observed on city folks.
Damages the immune system, endocrine and reproductive systems.
High levels of particle pollution have been associated with higher incidents of heart problems.
The burning of fossil fuels and the release of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are causing the Earth to become warmer. Read about the effects of Global Warming here.
The toxic chemicals released into the air settle into plants and water sources. Animals eat the contaminated plants and drink the water. The poison then travels up the food chain – to us.

We live in an ecosystem where the action of one has the potential to affect the many. This can be a good or a bad thing, depending on what the action is. Our mistakes has polluted the environment that we live in and we are waking up and owning to the fact. We are trying to reverse the damage. The good news is that every positive action counts. The small effort you make towards a greener environment can start a healing ripple effect. We may still save what is left of our natural resources and make the world a better place to live in for our future

One of the most important organ of human body is human brain. The thinking power or the ability to learn or remembering things are all the features of brain. It is the most precious gift that God has given to human body. People talk about knowledge or intelligence which is being developed in brain only. In fact our brain also differentiate from animals and other creations of Almighty. You cannot do any work without using your brain. Everything you do is being accountable with your brain. It is the only part of human body that is never on a rest. When we are awake our brain is active or when we are sleeping than also our brain is active which means the dreams we see while sleeping.
Human brain manages all the functions of the body whether you are awake or sleeping. Your thoughts are being varied according to your surroundings but still you are thinking those thoughts from your brain only. It is said that we use only 10% of our brain which is unbelievable. According to the research we can use our brain up to 100% but if we do so that might creates problems for us only. Human brain too have some interesting facts also that one should know about it.
Let’s see what are those interesting facts:
Feels No Pain- human brain is the essential part of central nervous system still it lacks in nerves. With an single organ lacking in nerves implies that human brain feels no pain.
Energy Consumptions- major percentage of energy is generated in human brain. About 20% of energy is consumed by human brain whereas it weighs only 2% of the total body weight.
Neurons- The capability of the brain are carried out with large numbers of neurons.
Fattest Organ- About 60% of fat is comprised to human brain whereas 75% of water is also comprised to human brain which helps to regulate different types of body function.
Every Parts Work- many people said that human brains uses 10% less than of their brains. On the other hand, research shows that every part of human brain has a known function.
Yawning- it is the one of the most interesting facts that a person yawns only when the person see another person yawning. This is because of mirror neurons.
What You Eat?- about 20%-30% calories are used by your brain. That’s why it is important to eat healthy for good health.
Power- our brain generates 10-23 watts power that can even sufficient to light up a bulb. It is only when you are in conscious state of mind.
Our brain is working every single minute or second. It operates all the body functions of a human being. It works naturally and also considered as a multitasking organ of the human body. It carries all the thoughts just like a huge factory. With using more than billion neurons our brain allows us to process and understand everything that is around us. It is amazing as well as most interesting to know about.
Diet or food has been an important and essential source for survival of mankind. It provides the basic energy and elements helping us to perform day go day activities and keeping ourselves healthy and fit. Humans have been traveling since times in search of better food resources along with clean and pure water resources and better shelter opportunities. With time humans’ diets have transformed and have seen a greater impact on their behaviour as well as their health. Today most of the people try eating vegetarian and vegan food as compared to non vegetarian food. But along with that the concentration if junk food or food lacking basic nutrients have increased in the market as they offer better taste. This has surely resulted in a rise of aggressive behaviour and less level of patience especially among the youth.
Scientists have researched on the topic of “How diet affects human psychology and What are the associated behavioural aspects as well”. They did find a great link between food and human psychology. There are various tests and experiments which show that eating junk food brings out more and more aggression among people , reducing patience level and filling them with feelings like anxiety and stress. There was an experiment testing the decision capacity of individuals after giving them both a nutrients rich diet and a nutrient deficit diet. It was recorded that the person who ate health was able to think and decide better as compared to other people. There were many other experiments which did show that people do get fascinated towards these junk food because of the it’s ingredients. It came up in studies that sugar is more addictive than cocaine and any other drug. Junk food has a good amount of sugar in it, so whenever people see these junk foods, they have an urge, which truly drives them to eat it.
Scientists relate this aspect of humans with the food they eat as most of the just k food lacks essential proteins, carbohydrates, fibre and omega-3. Omega 3 is essential as it reduces blood pressure, heart related disease and prevents stroke. Other proteins, calcium and iron help the body to grow and remove daily muscle fatigue. Junk food contains sugar, which increases the risk of obesity, diabetes and most probably heart related diseases. That’s The reason why heart attacks and other problems related to cardio have seen a hike. People usually prefer these things so as to calm their Taste buds which they often do not get by eating healthy food, since most of it lacks taste.
People should understand that especially in today’s era of pandemic we need to make our immune system strong and make ourselves fit and healthy but eating these unfit and junk food won’t let us grow better and healthier. One can have them but in a limit. Everybody has their own daily protein, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamin limit and if it’s not fulfilled, the body goes on degrading and the body seems dull and unhealthy. So one should try to eat better, healthier food, along with exercising on a daily basis, which will not only make them fit but also encourage other people in their surroundings to get fascinated by the results and will shift towards betterment and thus a better way of living with healthy humans all around.
The historical backdrop of espresso goes back to the fifteenth century, and conceivably prior with various reports and legends encompassing its first use. The most punctual validated proof of either espresso drinking or information on the espresso tree is from the mid fifteenth century, in the Sufi religious communities of Yemen, spreading soon to Mecca and Cairo. By the sixteenth century, it had arrived at the remainder of the Middle East, South India (Karnataka), Persia, Turkey, the Horn of Africa, and northern Africa. Espresso at that point spread to the Balkans, Italy, and to the remainder of Europe, just as Southeast Asia and afterward to America,in spite of bans forced during the fifteenth century by strict pioneers in Mecca and Cairo, and later by the Catholic Church.
Historical background
“Coffee” entered the English language in 1582 by means of the Dutch koffie, acquired from the Ottoman Turkish kahve, thusly obtained from the Arabic qahwah
The Arabic word qahwah initially alluded to a sort of wine, whose derivation is given by Arab etymologists as getting from the action word qahā concerning the beverage’s notoriety for being a craving suppressant. The word qahwah is in some cases on the other hand followed to the Arabic quwwa (“force, vitality”), or to Kaffa, a medieval realm in Ethiopia whence the plant was sent out to Arabia. These historical backgrounds for qahwah have all been contested, nonetheless. The name qahwah isn’t utilized for the berry or plant (the results of the area), which are referred to in Arabic as bunn and in Somali and Oromo as būn. Semitic dialects had the root qhh, “dull shading”, which turned into a characteristic assignment for the refreshment. As indicated by this investigation, the female structure qahwah (likewise signifying “dim in shading, dull was likely picked to resemble the ladylike khamr , and initially signified “the dim one”
First use
There are a few amazing records of the starting point of the beverage itself. . Different records quality the disclosure of espresso to Sheik Abu al-Hasan debris Shadhili’s supporter, Omar. As per the antiquated annal (saved in the Abd-Al-Kadir original copy), Omar, who was known for his capacity to fix the wiped out through supplication, was once ousted from Mecca to a desert cavern close Ousab. Starving, Omar bit berries from close by greenery, however saw them as harsh. He had a go at broiling the beans to improve the flavor, yet they turned out to be hard. He at that point took a stab at bubbling them to mellow the bean, which brought about a fragrant earthy colored fluid. After drinking the fluid Omar was rejuvenated and continued for quite a long time. As accounts of this “marvel sedate” arrived at Mecca, Omar was approached to return and was made a saint.
Investigations of hereditary decent variety have been performed on Coffea arabica assortments, which were seen as of low decent variety yet with maintenance of some lingering heterozygosity from familial materials, and firmly related diploid species Coffea canephora and C. liberica; be that as it may, no immediate proof has ever been found showing where in Africa espresso developed or who among the locals may have utilized it as an energizer or thought about it there sooner than the seventeenth century.The first trained espresso plant is said to have been from Harar, and the local populace is believed to be gotten from Ethiopia with unmistakable close by populaces in Sudan and Kenya.
Espresso was basically expended in the Islamic existence where it began and was legitimately identified with strict practices. For instance, espresso helped its shoppers quick in the day and remain conscious around evening time, during the Muslim festival of Ramadan
Europe Coffee was first acquainted with Europe on the island of Malta in the sixteenth century. It was presented there through subjection. Turkish Muslim slaves had been detained by the Knights of St John in 1565—the time of the Great Siege of Malta, and they used to make their conventional refreshment. Domenico Magri referenced in his work Virtu del Kafé, “Turks, most skilful producers of this mixture.” Also the German explorer Gustav Sommerfeldt in 1663 stated “the capacity and enterprising nature with which the Turkish detainees win some cash, particularly by getting ready espresso, a powder taking after snuff tobacco, with water and sugar.” Coffee was a famous refreshment in Maltese high society—numerous cafés opened.
Espresso was additionally noted in Aleppo by the German doctor botanist Leonhard Rauwolf, the main European to specify it, as chaube, in 1573; Rauwolf was firmly trailed by depictions from other European travellers.

The word Bollywood is a play on Hollywood, with the B coming from Bombay (now known as Mumbai), which is the center of the Indian film world.The word was coined in the 1970 As their popularity grow, movies created in the Mumbay’s reached the number of 200 annual movies, West continued to ignore cinema efforts of Indian filmmakers, but they acknowledged them when India managed to overtook America as the biggest producer of movies in the world.
In 1913 and the silent film “Raja Harishchandra”the first-ever Indian feature film and First full-length Bollywood silent movie.Its producer, Dadasaheb Phalke, was Indian cinema’s first mogul, and he oversaw the production of 23 films between 1913 and 1918 Dadasaheb Phalke is considered the father of Indian cinema.
Its great success paved the way for the countless movies that followed him and the expansion of the indian cinema industry to incredible heights. One of the largest successes of that time was “Alam Ara” from 1931, sound movie that became basis of the joyful modern Bollywood musical. First Indian Colour movie “Kisan Kanya” was created in 1937, but such movies found popularity only in late 1950s and early 1960s.
Gaining independence from the British Raj was tough and spanned from 1857 to 1947 – lasting a gruelling 900 years. However, the struggles in gaining India’s independence enthused the film industry. Some of the most critically acclaimed films in Indian cinema were created during this time and explored the difficult working-class life in India and the reality of urban life.
It was around 1947 that the industry went through significant changes. The historical and mythological stories of the past were now being replaced by social-reformist films, The 1950s saw filmmakers such as Bimal Roy and Satyajit Ray focusing on the lives of the lower classes, who until then were mostly ignored as subjects.
Golden Age of Indian cinema took place between 1940s and 1960s. During that time countless influential Bollywood movies were released, exploring new storytelling techniues, social themes (mostly struggles and wonders of urban life), epic productions such as Mother India (1957). This period also popularized many Indian actors (Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Guru Dutt) and actresses such as (Nargis, Vyjayanthimala, Meena Kumari, Nutan, Madhubala, and others).
1950 – The decade of extreme close-up The black and white era of 1950s was marked by songs shot in static frames with all the action happening through the eyes and eyebrows of our lead actors. So from extreme close-ups of the face to some relevant cut-ins of the moon, the flowers and the rustling of leaves, Bollywood songs welcomed more elements of dynamics of romance. Leading from the 1960s to the early 1970s came the birth of Modern Bollywood Cinema. This included the domination of two distinct genres: boy-meets-girl romance films and gritty action productions.
1960 – The decade of pure dance and enchnating eyes Actors like Vyjayanthimala, Waheeda Rehman and Mala Sinha slowly brought dance in the 1960s. Songs like “Honton Mein Aisi Baat” and “Piya Tose Naina Laage Re” resonate not just the beauty of these divas but also the sanctity of songs of this era. Even in their guest appearances Helen, Bindu and Aruna Irani became the perfect face of RD Burman’s tracks in the 1970s.

They were written and woven as per the requirements of the film and in the respective situations.While Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammad Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar and Hemant Kumar were the mainstay of the playback singing scene, big actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor gave them the apt face value. This perfect combination reciprocated well onscreen too. Bachchan’s songs were either playful or had intense action happening (not literal fighting but the thrill of the climax). Towards the second half of 1980s and early 1990s, we had films like Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Ram Lakhan, Saajan and Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin – all musical blockbusters. On the other side of the camera, it introduced us with the voices of Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu, on the front these songs majorly had a dreamy set-up, making anyone fall in love. There was romance, longing, betrayal and confessions and every aspect was shot with a proper screenplay of its own. Each song, be it “Pehla Nasha”, “Ae Mere Humsafar”, “Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin” or “Bahut Pyar Karte Hain”, made us believe in love.
1990 – The decade of Celebration. The 80s and 90s brought back spotlight romantic musicals and family-centric films, and in 1995, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge was released. Becoming the highest grossing Bollywood film of the year and one of the most successful Indian films its soundtrack became one of the most popular of the 1990s.
