Students sensitised on Climate Change
More than 200 students from various institutions participated. Sugantha Priscilla, senior specialist, Indian Institute for Human Settlements, elaborated on the relationship between individual lifestyle choices and global climate impact.
S M Manoj Kumar, project associate, StartupTN, Trichy, followed with a session on 'Green Technology and Opportunities'. He highlighted successful green startup models, emerging trends in renewable energy, and entrepreneurship opportunities in the climate tech sector.
Forest range officers J Ravi and T Krishnan presented a session on the importance of forests. They explained the vital role of forests in carbon sequestration, microclimate regulation, soil conservation, and biodiversity protection.
Sessions on nursery techniques, quality seedling production, plantation methods, and seed ball making and throwing have also been conducted. Students were given eco-friendly pens and cloth bags.

Science city to open for public by Aug-end: Officials
1 2 Patna: The much-awaited science city in Patna, named after scientist and former President APJ Abdul Kalam, will be opened for the public by the end of this month, according to an official press release on Wednesday. Building construction department secretary Kumar Ravi said the civil work of the science city was completed, and the installation of exhibits is progressing at a fast pace. "The project is being completed within the stipulated time frame without compromising on its quality," Ravi said, adding that the science city would become a unique centre of science and innovation not only for students but for people of all age groups. While there will be a total of five galleries, according to the official release, in the first phase, two galleries — 'Be a Scientist' and 'Basic Science' will be opened. There will be 47 exhibits in these two galleries. Other galleries in the pipeline are 'Sustainable Planet', 'Space and Anatomy', and 'Body and Mind'. In total, there will be 269 science exhibits on display in all five galleries at the science city, spread over 20.5 acre area, near Moin-ul-Haq Stadium. Other features of this upcoming structure include a modern auditorium with a capacity of 500 seats, dormitory for 150 students and three teachers, 4-D theatre, multipurpose and pre-functional halls, cafeteria, parking, and drinking water and restroom facilities. The press release stated that the atrium of the science city will be the centre of attraction. It will have a selfie point, besides a digital panel and murals. Apart from the experience of science, people can also enjoy the environment and aura of the complex, said the release. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Mangaluru varsity study shows shared paternal ancestry among Brahmins across India
Mangaluru: A recent genetic study by the Department of Applied Zoology, Mangalore University, offers fresh insights into the historical origins of the gotra system, revealing that it is far more than a mere indicator of ancestral lineage. The study explains that the gotra concept traces its roots back thousands of years to the ancient Saptarshis. Under this system, marriage within the same gotra is traditionally prohibited, as individuals from the same gotra are considered distant siblings. In addition, the lesser-known term pravara refers to wider, extended kinship groups. Traditionally, Brahmins across India follow 18 major gotras, including Bharadwaja, Gautama, and Vashishtha, which continue to influence marriage practices. Researchers analysed short tandem repeats (STRs), repetitive sections of genomes, from 334 Indian Brahmins and compared them with genetic data from over 1,300 Eurasian males. The results point to a shared paternal ancestry among Brahmins across India, indicating links to early Indo-European migrations. According to the lead researcher Jaison Sequeira, the findings suggest that Indian Brahmins share a common R1a genetic ancestor with western Iranians, Tajiks, and Uzbeks, likely predating the Indo-Iranian split in northern Afghanistan. However, migration and interaction patterns appear to have differed significantly across regions. Northern Brahmins showed closer genetic ties to Afghan groups such as the Pashtuns, suggesting later admixture. On the other hand, Konkani and other southern Brahmin population appear to have diverged earlier, retaining an older genetic signature shared with West Iranian population. While the study does not provide specific migration dates, it points to two separate waves of R1a (Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup) ancestry into the Indian subcontinent, separated by a significant time gap. Sequeira said India's population diversity should be preserved with the same importance as historical artefacts. "Just as we preserve artefacts in museums and archives, we should also generate and document population-specific genetic data for future generations," he said, encouraging youngsters from all communities to take part in such initiatives. Earlier research suggests that the Indo-European component entered the Indian subcontinent about 4,000 years ago. A 2024 preprint by the same research group estimated a gap of about 500-800 years between the common ancestor of Brahmins and Afghanis, with the former constituting the earlier wave. However, more research is required to date the events of the past accurately. Corresponding author Prof MS Mustak said pan-India collaborations are critical. "With Genome India Project data in hand, pan-India collaborations are the only and the best way forward," he said. The study was conducted in collaboration with researchers from Karnataka, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, New Delhi, and Switzerland.

Rains push pythons into human settlements in Ernakulam
Kochi: With heavy rains lashing the state, Indian rock pythons are increasingly being carried downstream by swollen rivers into human habitats. The reptile, listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, is being rescued in large numbers by the forest department, with sightings rising sharply since the onset of monsoon . Officials said nearly 150 pythons are being rescued every month in Ernakulam alone during the current season. "When there is heavy rain, pythons get carried to the shores and later creep into human settlements in search of food. Most rescue calls now come from areas close to waterbodies. Pythons are often found near poultry and fish farms, where easy prey is available. In Kochi, they also feed on bandicoots found in drains," a forest official said. Rescued pythons are released deep inside forests, where their natural prey includes rabbits, rodents and reptiles. "In the past, too, pythons entered human habitats, but documentation was lacking. Earlier, people killed them for various purposes. Now, thanks to greater awareness, killing has stopped. More people call us whenever they spot the reptile," another official added. The Indian rock python faces threats from shrinking habitats, hunting, and ecosystem stress caused by human activity. Its population of mature adults has declined considerably, leading to its threatened status. The species typically reaches maturity in about two years and is found at elevations between 10 and 2,000 metres above sea level. These pythons are usually spotted in crevices, wet rocky areas, pools, and large burrows. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
