 Introduction Charles Babbage after inventing the first automated computer machine would have never thought of the transformation it would achieve with the time or John F. Mitchell and Martin Cooper after making the first mobile phone which weighed approximately 2kg would have never thought of such handy mobiles used in the 21st century. For the last one decade, there has been a revolution in the field of science. During this due course, rigid production patterns have been transformed into flexible ones, and uniform centralized large-scale production is changed into the production of modular constituents on more limited scales. Due to which, the ability of an enterprise to changes in the market has improved significantly. We have tried to reveal the mysteries of nature to the fullest extent. We have been successful in shortening the distance in the world and reached out even beyond. All this was possible because of science and technology. Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence

Public health Infrastructure and a blame game!!

Introduction SARS-CoV-2 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization(WHO) on March 11, 2020. The SARS-CoV2 infection causes COVID-19. During the initial days of the pandemic doctors hardly knew how best to treat patients with COVID-19. Therefore, in the first few months, clinical care was dominated by estimation, anecdotes ,and dogma. One year on, there is still rife misinformation on cures for COVID-19, with multivitamins, mineral supplements, steam inhalation(although good but not enough), and drugs such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, all of which have not been corroborated to treat COVID-19 are still being prescribed. Another widely used product called immunity booster is "Coronil-kit". People are extensively using these nowadays without any medical prescription.   Fragile Infrastructure Worst pandemic in a century has demonstrated the importance of public health and healthcare in times of a health crisis. According to the National Health profile 2019, t

Introduction "A low carbon future" an idea or pledge that many of us have heard many times in the past 2-5 years. But the question is what actually is a low carbon future and how countries are contributing through their efforts and what India needs to do? About Greenhouse gases, we all are aware from our early childhood days by finding their mention in our textbooks and the implications of greenhouse gases effects. There are various gases responsible for greenhouse effects including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous dioxide, and fluorinated gases. They have different chemical properties and can gradually increase or decrease through different processes. The one most pressing process is human activity. Carbon dioxide accounts for 76% of the global human-caused emissions. After being released into the atmosphere, about 40% stays for 100 years, while 20% remains after 1000 years and 10% up to 10,000 years or more. On the other hand, Methane stays for less time compared to carbon
