Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers Shri D.V. Sadananda Gowda  said, by 2023 India will be self-reliant in the production of fertilizers as  under “Atma Nirbhar  Bharat” programme new fertilizer manufacturing units are being setup  with  an investment of Rs 40,000 crore in the country to reduce dependency on import.

Shri Gowda was addressing  a webinar on “Self-Reliant India and Sustainable Agriculture ”organized by IFFCO for the farmers of Karnataka. He said, “As per Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Atma Nirbhar Bharat vision to promote indigenous industries, we are converting all fertilizer companies to gas based technology. Recently we have revived four urea plants (Ramagundam, Sindhri, Barouni and Gorkhpur) in India. By 2023 we should become self –sufficient in the production of Fertilizers.”

Union Minister informed that Government  is encouraging the production of organic and Nano fertilizers in the country as they are 25 to 30 per cent cheaper and give 18 to 35 per cent higher yield and keep the soil in good health. He lauded the IFFCO’s Nano experiment and called it a game changer. He informed that Nano fertilizers distributed freely to 12,000 farmers and agriculture universities across the country have given positive feedback.

Shri Gowda asked farmers to use Urea judiciously as excessive use of Urea may spoil the soil health. He advised  farmers to use fertilizers according to their soil health cards.

He praised the efforts of IFFCO, during the COVID pandemic period for not only keeping regular supply of fertilizers but also organising campaigns by distributing masks, sanitizers and hand gloves to mitigate the spread of COVID  . He also thanked other fertilizers companies and Railway department for playing important role in timely supply of fertilizer during the COVID pandemic period.

More than 1500 farmers from Karnataka took part in the Webinar through zoom. Managing Director IFFCO, Dr. U S Awasthi, Marketing Director Yogendra Kumar, IFFCO Karnataka marketing manager Dr. Narayanaswamy , agriculture scientists from University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore and other eminent dignitaries also  participated in the Webinar..

Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare today interacted and answered questions posed by his social media followers on the Sunday Samvad platform. These questions covered a multitude of queries concerning not only the current situation of COVID but also the government’s approach to it, the likely changes one expects to see in the post COVID world and the steps taken by government in its facilitation.

The Minister informed that while no date has been fixed for the vaccine launch, it may be ready by the first quarter of 2021. Dr Harsh Vardhan stated that the Government is taking full precautions in conducting the human trials of the vaccine and the National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration for COVID-19 under the Chairmanship of Dr. V K Paul, Member (Health), NITI Aayog is drawing up a detailed strategy on how to immunize majority of the population. “Issues like vaccine security, cost, equity, cold-chain requirements, production timelines etc., are also been discussed intensely”, he stated. He assured the vaccine will be first made available to those who need it the most, irrespective of their paying capacity.

Further, he said that the Government is considering emergency authorization of COVID-19 vaccination especially in the case of senior citizens & people working in high-risk settings. “This shall be done after a consensus has been reached”, he said.

To allay fears regarding the safety aspect of the vaccines, he said he will be happy to take the first dosage of vaccine if some people have a trust deficit.

Elaborating on the vaccine candidates and their development in India, he said that Department of Bio Technology (DBT) as well as Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) have been pro-active in responding to the emerging situation to support advancement of vaccine candidates. India is actively partnering with Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and trials at different phases are ongoing with respect to several vaccines in Indian laboratories (private or public) and hospitals.

The Minister also noted that a safe and effective vaccine will help in establishing immunity to COVID-19 at much faster pace as compared to the natural infection. It is hoped that a consensus will emerge in next few months over the desired level of protective herd immunity in any community, he stated.

Dr. Harsh Vardhan highlighted how the pandemic became a turning point for Indian manufacturing. From the time when there were “no indigenous manufacturers of PPEs with requisite standards, now there are nearly 110 indigenous manufacturers of PPE with requisite standards. The country is in a position to not only meet its own demands but also export to help out fellow nations”, Dr Harsh Vardhan said. Similar ‘Make in India’ initiatives were launched and promoted for enhancing indigenous manufacturing of diagnostic kits, ventilators, drugs like Remdesivir etc., and reducing reliance on foreign countries. This was made possible through the ‘Whole of Government’ approach under the leadership of Prime Minister. A multipronged strategy of promoting indigenous manufacturers and ensuring market availability was adopted with the partnership of various Ministries. He added that the Government took a number of initiatives to promote domestic manufacturing of critical APIs in India and thereby decrease India’s dependence on imports of such APIs.

In order to make the healthcare cost reasonable and affordable for the common man, Dr. Harsh Vardhan said that the Government has directed all States and UTs to fix a reasonable price for COVID-19 treatment in private hospitals. Free coverage up to ₹ 5 lakhs for COVID patients for those who are eligible under the Ayushman Bharat PMJAY package was announced. He added that the Central Government has also asked States/UTs to proactively engage with the private sector health providers and consider pooling in public and private healthcare facilities, as this will help in providing prompt, good quality and reasonable health care to Covid-19 patients. He has himself appealed to the private hospitals to refrain from over charging COVID patients, he stated.

The Minister highlighted that measures have been to ensure accessibility and affordability of all drugs and other therapeutics to all citizens, irrespective of their paying capacities. The Government has taken cognizance of reports of alleged black marketing of drugs like Remdesivir and has asked Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) to take suitable action against the same along with their State Counterparts.

Dr Harsh Vardhan stated that the Government is seized of the evolving nature of the infection and emerging evidence of the systemic health complications in those who have been infected. AIIMS and other research institutions have been asked to undertake research to study the long-term impact of COVID. ICMR is establishing a National Clinical Registry on COVID that will provide insights into clinical course of COVID-19 disease, its spectrum and outcome of patients. Expert group consultations are already going on to review the emerging evidence and generate our own data on organ system specific (respiratory system, renal system, cardiovascular and gastro-intestinal) sequelae of COVID, he stated.

The Union Health Minister stated that “NDHM is one of the most ambitious missions of the Government of India and is set to catapult India as a global leader in the field of digital health. However, there are vested interests that do not want India to succeed and are spearheading a disinformation campaign against NDHM.” Allaying fears, he clarified that it is an utter lie that those who do not become part of this system shall not be allowed to access the hospitals. “Those persons or institutions who are not a part of this system shall continue to enjoy access to the healthcare system in exactly the same manner as they are doing now. Participation in the digital health ecosystem shall be totally optional and shall never be made mandatory for individuals”.

The Union Health Ministry held a virtual meeting today where Union Health Secretary, Secretary DPIIT and Secretary Pharmaceuticals participated. State Health Secretaries and Industries Secretaries of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh also participated in the meeting. The aim of the meeting was to ensure adequate Oxygen availability in all healthcare facilities in these States & unrestricted intra as well as inter State movement of oxygen.

In the end, all the participants were addressed by the Union Minister for Commerce & Industry, and Railways Shri PiyushGoyal.

The States were specifically advised to :-

1. Ensure facility wise/hospital wise oxygen inventory management and advance planning for timely replenishment so that there are no stockout.

2. Ensure that no restriction is imposed on the movement of Medical Oxygen between States/UTs.

3. Provision of “Green Corridor” for Liquid Medical Oxygen (LMO) Tankers within the cities.

4. Hospitals and institutions have long term tender/ contract agreement for supply of Oxygen with oxygen manufacturers, which need to be honoured. Hence, States must not impose restrictions on free movement of Oxygen.

5. Ensure timely payment of the due bills to the manufacturers and supplier to maintain uninterrupted supply of oxygen.

6. Improve power supply infrastructure and ensure uninterrupted supply to Oxygen Manufacturing Units.

7. Ensure proper disinfection of Oxygen cylinders as per protocols while sending cylinders to fillers of Oxygen.

8. Effective coordination with steel plants for Oxygen procurement since steel plants provide approx. 550 MT/day oxygen in addition to oxygen manufacturers who provide 6400 MT/day.

Miss Digantika Bose studies in Class XII at Memari V M Institution Unit II, Burdwan. But in her tender age she is very much influenced by the principle of Thomas Alva Edison that ‘To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk’. And as the proverb goes, Necessity is the mother of invention, Digantika has felt the utter helpless- ness of common people in the wake of Covid 19 pandemic to survive and has come up with Air Providing and Virus Destroying Mask which has received the acclaim from Science and Technology Ministry, Government of India.

The  execution agency for the ₹ 100 crore worth project is POWERGRID Ltd., a central PSU under Ministry of Power.

While praising the Powergrid for its efforts Shri Singh said that the Maharatna has played important role in connecting every state and region with national grid, especially in Bihar. The inter-regional transmission systems have helped Bihar in accessingpower supply from other states at cheaper rates. He further said that on completion of the Kishenganj-Darbhanga 400kV Transmission Lineproject, Power scenario of the Saharsa district including Supaul, Khagaria and Begusarai districts shall improve. Low voltage problem of North Bihar will be considerably solved and above districts shall be benefited by reliable Power.

According to the National Weather Forecasting Centre/Regional Meteorological Centre, New Delhi of the India Meteorological Department (IMD):

• A low pressure area lies over westcentral Bay of Bengal off north Andhra Pradesh coast. Likely to move west-northwestwards towards central India across Telangana during next 2-3days.
• The monsoon trough lies south of its normalposition.
• An off-shore trough lies off south Gujarat coast to north Karnatakacoast.

• Under the influence of the above low pressure area, widespread rainfall with isolated heavy to very heavy falls occurred over Coastal Andhra Pradesh during past 24 hours. Chief amount of rainfall (in cm, 10cm and above) recorded at 0830 hrs of today; Tanuku-18; Tiruvuru-16; Amalapuram-14;Chintalapudi-10

              Due to above favourable meteorologicalconditions:

Fairly widespread to widespread rainfall with Isolated heavy to very heavy falls are very likely over Coastal Andhra Pradesh &Yanam and Telangana on 13 & 14 September; over Rayalaseema on 13 September, over Vidarbha on 15 September and over Marathwada on 16 September.

Isolated extremely heavy falls is also very likely over Coastal Andhra Pradesh on 13 September and over Telanganaon 14 September, 2020 (Detail Color code based Warning and likely impact are given in pages 2- 4)

“Necessity is the mother of invention”. This proverb is quite common and used by almost all of us. But today, when the whole world is facing the situation of Covid-19 pandemic, we are actually experiencing it. How drastically things have changed from being normal to abnormal and then finally quoted as the “New normal”. The effects of this pandemic on almost each and every sector of the economy has been drastic and Education sector has been the part of the same. Schools, colleges, coaching classes, home tutions everything came to a halt. Both the teachers and the students could not go to school because of which the studies were getting affected. With everything getting digital, education also found it’s way. The blackboard was now not something on the walls of the classroom but turned into screen sharing on your mobile phones. The bench you shared with your friend soon turned into your bed with no friend around. The questions and answers and the debates held in the classroom turned into a chaos because everybody unmuted themselves, and oh! Nothing was audible. The teachers who were too confident about their subjects had to work under a lot of pressure because their kids were no longer the faces they could see in the classrooms, they had turned into icons on their mobile screens with videos off .

Online Education has brought a 360 degree turn in the whole system of education. Online education was indeed the need of the hour. Failing which, students could lose a whole year and things would be more difficult then. As the topic suggests, Online education actually has three aspects : The good ,the bad and the ugly.

Good things first. Online Education has its own advantages.

Flexibility- Online education can be done anywhere and anytime.The hours have become flexible and even the place doesen’t matter. You can be sitting in your balcony having fresh air with earphones plugged in,listening to the lecture.

Safety- In the covid times, this is the best way to protect students, teachers  and their families.

Cost effective- Online education has saved monthly transportation costs of the students. Also, with the help of the availaibility of E-books, the cost for buying books have also reduced.

Access to Expertise- An online college education might give students access to specialized degree courses that may not be available in an easily accessible or local institution of learning. It has gained acceptance over time and is proving to be really beneficial for students.

One can learn whatever they want- With so many courses online,you can learn anything from anywhere. I can sit in Delhi and learn from University of Virgina through various online platforms.

A self paced learning – When we choose an online course we can do it by according to our choices. If I feel it is too much for the day I can simply close it and do it the next day.

Provides weightage to Resumes/CVs- The online courses and degree hold a good position and is effective if the certifications are attached to your Cvs.

BUT, “ALL  THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD” . Just like there are two sides to each coin. Online education comes with it’s set of disadvantages. Few of them are :

Not enough interaction- When a student is in a class with 40 or 50 other students,he gets to interact, to keep his point to talk more. In online education this can not happen to that extent. It starts a chaos altogether.

The atmosphere- A traditional classroom has no comparison with a digital one. Atmosphere plays a vital role in one’s life. It helps you concentrate on your work.

Distractions- The online education comes with a lot of distractions .You are listening to a lecture but chatting on your whatsapp or facebook and nobody knows about it. Thus,leading to a reduced concentration level.

The side effects on the eyes and ears – Because of continuously looking at their mobile or laptop screens the cases of students facing eyesight problems has increased rapidly. Similarily with continuous plugged in earphones the ears are getting affected.

Not all teachers are tech savvy- The online education has created a lot of problems for teachers who are not techagile. They lose their confidence and get conscious.

Lack of accreditation & quality assurance in online education- If online education is to be considered as effective and authentic as traditional learning, it must be ensured that all online schools are qualified and accredited. Unfortunately, at the current point in time, there are still a vast number of online learning platforms which are unaccredited and where all the materials are quality checked by no one besides the instructors themselves.

Losing on network- The aspirants of MBA are losing their contact with seniors and allunus that is really important due to lack of human interaction.

Practical learning is getting affected- Although one is getting oppurtunities of learning in the online platform still the practical learning is far from reachable.

“ THE UGLY” – UGLY comes  in the picture when there are things that are pathetic and out of tolerance or control.

The major drawback is the Cyber crimes and the leak out of certain important documents .The privacy gets affected.

Then there are also times when the students behave in a manner that is just not acceptable .The links get shared and somebody enters the room and does pathetic things like abusing or talking nonsense.

The online education has also caused a lot to the vulnerable groups of the society. The poor people who can not afford to buy a smartphone for their kids to attend the online classes. Their kids have been denied to online learning and they can do nothing about it.

Finally, everything has it’s advantages and disadvantages. Nobody and nothing is perfect. With everything changing ,everybody needs to change, to adopt and adapt in the environment. We need to find solutions rather than crying about the problem, and maybe,Online Education is the solution for the times ahead or the times now.
