Bio-Technology: A Revolution In  The Making

Biotechnology is a branch of science that combines biology and technology with the aim of improving people’s quality of life. As the world faces challenges such as climate change, food insecurity, and health crises, biotechnology offers innovative solutions that are increasingly becoming indispensable. Its history can be traced back to thousands of years to agriculture, domestication of plants and animals, fermentation of alcoholic beverages. Biotechnology is a rapidly evolving field with applications in medicine, agriculture, food industry, genetic engineering, industrial biotechnology and environmental sustainability. In medicine it is used in the diagnosis of disease, due to its ability to perform very complicated tests in a shorter time and at lower cost. In agriculture and environment sustainability, biotechnology is used to develop crops that need fewer resources\and produce less waste, helping to protect the environment and ensure food security. The growth of the Indian biotechnology sector is fuelled by rising demand at both a domestic and international levels. The rise in domestic demand is fuelled by initiatives such as Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make In India which was launched by PM Narendra Modi. These initiatives significantly boost India's biotechnology sector by enhancing research capabilities, improving manufacturing processes, self-reliant biotech ecosystem and reduce reliance on imports. India’s biotechnology was particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. Indian companies played a critical role in the global vaccine supply, producing billions of doses of COVID-19 vaccines, including Covaxin and Covishield. India exports vaccines to over 150 countries and is a leading destination for contract manufacturing and clinical trials. India has about 3% share in the global biotechnology industry . Biotechnology has the potential to revolutionise the way we work and live by introducing changes across various sectors. As biotechnology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more innovative applications in our daily lives, contributing to economic growth, improved health, a more sustainable future and improving the quality of life for millions.

           5G and Beyond 5G network have evolved to improve mobile broadband services by increasing communication speeds, reducing latency, and improving reliability. SK Telecom, the largest mobile operator in South Korea, launched the World’s First commercial 5G service, in April 2019. Today, there were 127,50 deployments in 128 countries as of Nov 30,2022. India launched its first 5G network in Oct 2022, making one of the most rapid nationwide 5G network deployment in the world. Moreover, India’s 5G network ranks among the top-performing networks globally. 5G is designed to do a variety of things that can transform our lives, faster download speeds, more capacity and connectivity for billions of devices-especially in the area of virtual reality (VR), the IOT, and AI.  It generating 22.3 million jobs in the 5G global value chain alone. In India, 5G telecom networks are expected to represent nearly 2% of GDP by 2030. The 5G sector will generate revenues of nearly $180 billion by 2030.

Artifical Intelligence and Machine Learning

  Artifical Intelligence and Machine Learning  The roots of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are deep, tracing back to the mid-20th century. Alan Turing, a notable figure in the development of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, posed the question "Can machines think?" back in 1950. This ignited the spark that fuelled decades of innovation. The term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined by John McCarthy for the 1956 Dartmouth Conference, the first academic conference of its kind. Machine Learning, on the other hand, made its debut in the late '50s when Arthur Samuel developed a program that could learn to play checkers. Fast forward to the 21st century, we've witnessed the evolution from rule-based systems to machines that can learn from vast datasets and even from their own experiences. The milestones are numerous, from IBM's Deep Blue defeating world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997 to the advent of deep learning w
