Viksit Krishi drive aims to boost farm productivity in Uttar Pradesh: Minister
Uttar Pradesh agriculture minister Surya Pratap Shahi on Friday said the ongoing Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan-2025 (May 29–June 12) aims to enhance farm productivity and farmers' income through adoption of advanced agricultural techniques. Addressing a joint press conference with minister of state Baldev Singh Aulakh, Shahi said the campaign was being run at 10,125 locations across all 75 districts, training over 8.39 lakh farmers— including 1.91 lakh women—through field-level interactions and scientific demonstrations. 'The initiative, launched by chief minister Yogi Adityanath on May 29, has the participation of 550 agricultural scientists, along with departments of horticulture, animal husbandry, fisheries, silk, water resources and cooperatives,' he said. A total of 4.58 lakh free minikits, including pulses, oilseeds, millets and groundnut, will be distributed to promote Kharif 2025 sowing, Shahi added. The government, according to him, has sanctioned ₹410.67 crore for the campaign under various central schemes, including Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana, Food and Nutritional Security and Krishonnati Yojana. Calling it a step toward the 'lab to land' vision, the minister urged public representatives and the media to actively support the campaign to ensure timely and effective transfer of technology to farmers.

Latest technologies like AI, IoT need to be used to improve quality of data: CEA
New Delhi, Chief Economic Advisor V Anantha Nageswaran on Thursday said latest technology, including artificial intelligence and internet of things, need to be used to improve quality of data, which is the bedrock of policymaking. Addressing the National Workshop on Using Alternate Data Sources and Frontier Technologies for Policy Making, Nageswaran emphasised that data generated by statistical systems and alternate data complement each other, rather than substituting each other. He said the latest trends in technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), have to go hand in hand with skilling of manpower, ensuring authenticity, reliability of the data quality with advanced design of algorithms holds the key in this endeavour. He further mentioned that data generated by the statistical systems has been the bed rock of policymaking in India. Suman K Bery, Vice Chairperson NITI Aayog and Chairman, EAC to the PM, said the way forward on integration of conventional data with alternate data sources. Bery focused on utilising data generated through traditional modes of data collection and rigorous statistical analysis forming the basis for evidence-based policymaking . He highlighted the importance of ensuring quality of administrative data. The insights from traditional as well as alternate data sources need to be strengthened with emphasis on data processing and assimilation, he added. Statistics and Programme Implementation Secretary Saurabh Garg said MoSPI has been brainstorming from the last couple of years as to how alternate data sources can be integrated in the existing national statistical system and this workshop is the culmination of the efforts made in past. With the objective of enhancing harmonisation of data having practical utility, Garg enlisted five key building blocks -- meta data structures, international and national classifications, unique identifiers, self-quality assessment tools, and reconciliation of diverse data to achieve such endeavour. P R Mesharam, Director General (Data Governance), MoSPI, reiterated that NSO India, with its time-tested statistical products, has facilitated the evidence-based policy making over a long period of time. The need of the hour is to use alternative data sources and frontier technologies to strengthen data eco-system of the country and provide data for evidence-based decision making in real time, he said. He added that this is in line with developing enhanced statistical capabilities "supporting our vision of becoming a developed nation". On the opening day of the workshop, MoSPI also released annual publication 'EnviStats India, 2025: Environment Statistics'. The publication is a key resource for policymakers, researchers and other stakeholders, offering a comprehensive overview of the country's environmental landscape.

Dinosaurs had cancer 70 million years ago, new study offers clues for cancer treatment
Dinosaurs, the colossal rulers of prehistoric Earth, were not immune to the ailments that still plague modern animals, including cancer. In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have confirmed that a duck-billed dinosaur that lived 70 million years ago suffered from a benign tumour. The fossilised remains of Telmatosaurus Transsylvanicus, found in present-day Romania, contained evidence of a jaw tumour known as ameloblastoma. The condition, still seen in humans today, offers a rare and remarkable link between ancient and modern biology. This finding opens new doors for studying the evolution of diseases and their relevance to human health. Fossil evidence of cancer in dinosaurs Researchers studying the fossil of Telmatosaurus transsylvanicus used high-resolution imaging to identify the presence of ameloblastoma, a benign tumour typically affecting the jaw. While fossilised evidence of disease has been found before, this discovery provides the clearest and most scientifically verified case of cancer in dinosaurs to date. A link between dinosaurs and humans by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The fact that the tumour resembles those found in humans is especially significant. Scientists believe this connection between species separated by millions of years could reveal crucial insights about how cancer has evolved. It suggests that certain diseases have long biological histories, rooted deep in evolutionary time. New methods unlock ancient secrets Teams from Imperial College London and Anglia Ruskin University used scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to examine the fossil. They discovered structures resembling red blood cells and preserved proteins, which is remarkable for a 70-million-year-old specimen. Unlike DNA, which degrades over time, proteins can survive and offer new paths for studying ancient life. What dinosaurs can teach us about cancer Understanding how large-bodied, long-lived animals like dinosaurs managed diseases could help researchers develop new cancer treatments. Scientists believe that ancient species may have evolved unique cancer-suppression mechanisms, which could inspire future approaches in human medicine. Preserving fossils for future discoveries The study also highlights the importance of fossil conservation. As molecular science continues to evolve, ancient remains could hold answers to medical questions of the future. "We need to ensure these specimens are preserved for ongoing research," said study co-author Justin Stebbing. A new frontier in medicine and palaeontology This discovery bridges the gap between palaeontology and modern medical science, showing that studying ancient life isn't just about the past. It may help shape the future of disease understanding and treatment. As more fossils are studied with advanced techniques, scientists hope to uncover even more about the hidden health histories of Earth's oldest inhabitants.
