Yatendra Meghwal the, young Entrepreneur is an inspirational personality gaining success at a very tender age. Yatendra Meghwal is the founder of the “Artist Mine Music” which is famous for Rap music and also provides a platform to rising artists. 

He believes Rapper don’t get chance in India as many say that music does not belong to India. But he believes something else he thinks Indian youth today loves rappers as we can see too many of them are getting huge success and appreciation for their work. He also believes rapping is going to stay in India for long as India needs a new trend in music like western countries to have from many years.

Yatendra Meghwal started promoting young Rappers around India by providing the opportunity and a platform from his own company Artist Mine Music. They have already launched a few good albums and many more to come in a shorter period of time.

Yatendra belongs to middle-class family his father is an engineer, mother a housewife, he left his studies in 11th standard and started to work on his dreams. He struggled for 5 long years to find the right path for his life and in 2017 he got the opportunity to do a live concert and this was a turning point for his journey of success in Music started.

He said that his dream is to take Artist Mine Company at bigger level where the whole world can recognize the power of Indian Rappers and make this company one of the biggest Music Company in near future which will promote not only musicians, singer but it will promote young Rappers by giving them belief and support

At a time when disinformation and mistrust of the news media is growing, a free press is “essential for peace, justice, sustainable development and human rights”, said the UN Secretary-General, in his message for World Press Freedom Day, marked on Friday.

No democracy is complete without access to transparent and reliable information, said António Guterres, describing unfettered journalism as “the cornerstone for building fair and impartial institutions, holding leaders accountable and speaking truth to power.”

This years commemorations which began on Thursday across the world, are focussing on the powerful role that good reporting plays in championing democracy and free elections, when disinformation is becoming a larger problem in even the world’s oldest and most sophisticated democratic systems.   

“Facts, not falsehoods, should guide people as they choose their representatives”, said the UN chief, noting that “while technology has transformed the ways in which we receive and share information, sometimes it is used to mislead public opinion or to fuel violence and hatred.”

According to the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), almost 100 journalists were killed going about their work in 2018, with hundreds imprisoned. A total of 1,307 journalists were killed between 1994, and last year.

Mr. Guterres said he was “deeply troubled by the growing number of attacks and the culture of impunity…When media workers are targeted, societies as a whole pay a price.”

Latest research has shown that zinc oxide nanoparticles can prevent fat accumulation in the liver and thereby prevent Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). 

The research by IIT Mandi recently published in the journal of Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine has shown using cell and mice models that zinc supplementations either in the form of nanoparticles or salts are effective in reducing fat accumulation in the liver and inducing peripheral insulin sensitivity. 

The researchers first treated human hepatocellular carcinoma cells with zinc oxide nanoparticles and tested the lipid accumulation in the cells in comparison to untreated cells. They also injected the nanoparticles into the bodies of mice fed with fatty diet and monitored cell signaling, gene expression and also assessed the cellular energy levels.  The mice were also subjected to glucose tolerance tests to assess insulin function and compared with mice fed with normal diet and fat-fed mice not treated with the nanoparticles.

In the cell tests, the researchers found that the presence of zinc oxide nanoparticles prevented accumulation of fat in them. In the mice models, they found that the zinc supplements prevented the cellular factors that enhance fat storage in the livers of fat-fed mice. In nutshell, Zinc supplements ameliorate fatty liver disease through negative energy balance, and hepatic lipogenic regulation in diet-induced obese mice.

The research team was led by Dr. Prosenjit Mondal, Assistant Professor, School of Basic Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Mandi, and Dr. Debabrata Ghosh from CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research (CSIR-IITR), Lucknow, 

Liver, the largest internal human organ, secretes bile, stores glucose in the form of glycogen, and converts vitamins, minerals and amino acids into their biologically absorbable forms. While hepatitis viral infections and alcohol-induced liver malfunctions used to be the main cause of liver diseases in the past, the dramatic shift towards sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy food habits has caused them to be outpaced by Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease or NAFLD. 

“NAFLD is a condition in which the body creates too much fat that gets stored in the liver cells, called steatosis, which could lead to scarring or cirrhosis, and eventual liver failure”, says Dr. Prosenjit Mondal. 

WHO reports that the number of deaths due to liver diseases in India was 259,749 in 2017. Nearly 120 million Indians are estimated to suffer from NAFLD, with a higher incidence rate amongst obese and diabetic people.

“Insulin resistance is one of the hallmarks of NAFLD”, the researchers write in their article. In addition to converting blood glucose into storable forms such as glycogen, insulin also induces lipid generation from non-fat sources, a process called lipogenesis. A complex array of cellular factors and enzymes regulate lipogenesis. When this signaling becomes faulty, due to bad lifestyle and/or genetic predisposition, insulin function is impaired and there is excess lipogenesis, resulting in increased fat accumulation in the liver.

The study was funded by Seed Research grant from IIT Mandi, and Science & Engineering Research Board grant, India to Dr. Prosenjit Mondal.

Co-investigators on the study were research scholars, Ms.  Surbhi Dogra, Ms. Khyati Girdhar, Mr. P. Vineeth Daniel, Mr. Swarup Chatterjee, Mr. Abhinav Choubey & faculty Dr. Subrata Ghosh from IIT Mandi and Dr. Satyakam Patnaik and Aditya K Kar from CSIR-IITR.

Scientists from 21 research institutes globally, claim to have successfully completed sequencing of 429 chickpea lines from 45 countries to identify genes for tolerance to drought and heat. The study also mapped the origins of chickpea and its ascent in Asia and Africa.

Dubbed as the largest-ever exercise of whole-genome resequencing of chickpea, the team led by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in close collaboration with the BGI-Shenzhen, China, involved 39 scientists from leading research institutes world over. 

In simple terms, this means potential development of newer varieties of chickpea with higher yields, which are disease-and-pest-resistant, and better able to withstand the vagaries of weather, a statement by ICRISAT said. 

The results of the three-year-long efforts have now been published in Nature Genetics online with the title, ‘Resequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits’.

More than 90% of chickpea cultivation area is in South Asia. Drought and increasing temperatures are said to cause more than 70% yield loss in chickpea globally. Chickpea being a cool season crop is likely to suffer further reduction in productivity due to rising temperatures.

“The genome-wide association studies identified several candidate genes for 13 agronomic traits. For example, we could identify genes (e.g. REN1, ß-1, 3-glucanase, REF6) which can help the crop tolerate temperatures up to 38oC and provide higher productivity,” says Dr Rajeev Varshney, the project leader and Research Program Director, Genetic Gains, ICRISAT.

Dr Xu Xun, CEO and President, BGI Research, China, co-leader of the project said, “BGI is very excited to work with CGIAR institutes like ICRISAT in high-end science research which could enable development of drought and heat-tolerant chickpea varieties for India and Africa. BGI has been enjoying a collaboration with ICRISAT for the past decade and we look forward to work together on many exciting projects in the years to come”.

The study established a foundation for large-scale characterization of germplasm, population genetics and crop breeding. It also helped understand domestication and post-domestication divergence of chickpea.

“This new found knowledge will enable breeders to enhance the use of diverse germplasm and candidate genes in developing improved (Climate-change ready) varieties that will contribute significantly to the increased productivity and sustainability of agricultural development in developing countries,” said Dr Peter Carberry, Director General, ICRISAT.

The study was done in close collaboration with partners from the National Agricultural Research Systems. India, for instance as the biggest consumer of pulses in the world, faces increasing production gap. This new research could take India closer towards attaining self-sufficiency in pulse production.

“This is a significant contribution to global agricultural research and these unique, scientific solutions will help mitigate issues the world is facing right now. Science is key to ongoing efforts within ICAR and ICRISAT and also the way forward for agriculture in the country,” said Dr Trilochan Mohapatra, Secretary, Department of Agricultural Research and Education & Director General, Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).

The study also confirms that chickpea came to India from Fertile Crescent/ Mediterranean via Afghanistan and may have been introduced back to the primary centers of origin after 200 years. The new study speculates about possible introduction of chickpea to the New World directly from Central Asia or East Africa rather than the Mediterranean.

“Our study indicates Ethiopia as secondary center of diversity and also maps a migration route from Mediterranean/ Fertile Crescent to Central Asia, and in parallel from Central Asia to East Africa (Ethiopia) and South Asia (India),” Dr Varshney added.

New Delhi, May 1: Marking a big diplomatic victory for India, the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday placed Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar in its sanctions list.

“The Security Council Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015) concerning ISIL (Da’esh), Al-Qaida, and associated individuals, groups, undertakings and entities approved the addition of [Masood Azhar] to its ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions List,” the UN committee said.

India had been making persistent efforts to designate Masood Azhar as global terrorist and the latest move was reiterated after the February 14 Pulwama terror attack, claimed by JeM, on a convoy of the Central Reserve Police Force which killed 40 CRPF personnel.

India’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative at the U.N. Syed Akbaruddin tweeted: “Big, small, all join together. Masood Azhar designated as a terrorist in U.N. Sanctions list. Grateful to all for their support.’’

India’s sustained efforts and negotiations with key UNSC members turned out to be crucial factors that appear to have influenced China to relent which had earlier blocked all moves at the world body to ban Masood Azhar.

It was in March that countries like the U.S., UK and France led the move to list Masood Azhar but China came up with its “technical hold” and put a roadblock once again. However, Beijing indicated only a few hours ago that Azhar’s listing issue would be resolved positively.

The Fact Pro was started in October 2016 at the turning point of history when everything you saw on the internet felt real and authentic. The vision was to amalgamate knowledge and entertainment in such a way that anyone would enjoy learning. The page started sharing information using square pictures creating an eye-pleasing aesthetic feed.  When asked to comment upon the authenticity of the facts The Fact Pro explained that they have a rigid procedure for making sure that every post is correct, they further added that if they suspect that they might be dealing with a piece of made-up information they would either cross-check for a reliable source or discard the post completely as The Fact Pro cannot lose its credibility. It often takes relevant and incomprehensible information from NGOs, think-tanks, journals, specialized magazines and media and tries to make it approachable. The information is then verified with various sources and hence the final news and facts are published.

Mr Vashisht said “We often tend to believe that everything on our feeds is true, but a few years ago the lies online started to look really realistic – phony websites with convincing stories shared by your friends and family on social media. The age of Internet dawned on us with the promise of liberation, connecting millions together and providing a platform for each and as a side effect the fake fact era was born.  Amidst this mess of adulterated facts, hype over meaningless products and the house of over-flooding information Internet had become The Fact Pro felt the need to highlight facts and figures that went unnoticed – things everyone ignored despite the importance they held.”

The twenty year old Gopal Dutt Vashisht, who is currently pursuing engineering from Bhagwan Parshuram Institute of Technology, is the man behind this initiative. Gopal aimed to create a jaw-dropping experience by presenting unknown facts and national news with his take on it and had his readers hooked by constantly feeding them regular updates, asking their opinions and keeping them engaged with the accuracy of content and information. Today, the page has more than 880,000 followers and reaches over 19 million people every week, organically.

The one-man army has recently introduced a contest called Showcase Your Talent which is open to all and everyone can present their talent in short videos of 15 seconds which then is featured on the page’s Story section. Gopal said that this initiative has helped build an opportunity for creators to have their content be published on a huge platform and cater to a larger audience.

Having turned into a massive success and a social media influencer Gopal hopes that his initiative inspires masses and forces them to fact-check every piece of information they read before believing it blindly and by understanding the fact that one does not need to be an influencer to cause a change or a reform, one just has to initiate. He wishes that The Fact Pro reaches many more and in two years’ time it becomes a media publishing company.

Reporters Sans Frontiers (Reporters Without Borders) has placed India at 140th rank out of 180 countries in the World Press Freedom Index. In 2018, India secured 138th rank in WPF index. There is a consistent drop since 2017 with a yearly loss of two ranks per year. In the years 2017, 2018 and 2019, India ranked 136th, 138th, and 140th, respectively. Norway has topped the index with a global score of 7.82.  India’s global score puts her under the ‘Difficult Situation (red)’ category as the score for this category ranges between 35.01 to 55 points; India’s score is 45.67.

The report cites: Violence against journalists – including police violence, attacks by Maoist fighters, and reprisals by criminal groups or corrupt politicians – is one of the most striking characteristics of the current state of press freedom in India.

In 2018, out of 80 journalists killed globally in the line of duty, 6 were killed in India alone. The unfortunate list includes ‘Rising Kashmir’ Editor Shujat Bukhari, DD cameraperson Achyutanand Sahu, Chandan Tiwari of a Hindi daily in Jharkhand, Vijay Singh and Naveen Nischal of Hindustan (Bihar) and Sandeep Sharma of News World, Bhind (MP). In 2017, Gauri Lankesh (Lankesh Patrike), Sudip Dutta Bhaumik (Syandan Patrika/Vanguard TV), Shantanu Bhowmick (Din Raat) and Navin Gupta (Hindustan) were killed. 

The report further highlights, “these murders highlighted the many dangers Indian journalists face, especially those working for non-English-language media outlets in rural areas.”

TV journalists like Ravish Kumar (NDTV), Vinod Dua (HW News), Abhisar Sharma (HW News) and many others have been subjected to trolls, online abuse, and death threats for their dissenting voices and reporting.

Recently, Times Magazine listed Indian journalist Rana Ayyub as top 10 journalists facing ‘urgent threats’ for her work. Rana Ayyub consistently faces violent online abuse, death and rape threats, including pornographic videos with her morphed and photoshopped images. She has authored a book ‘Gujarat Files- an Anatomy of a cover-up’.

Neighboring countries like Afghanistan, Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka are better than India in terms of ranking. Pakistan is at 142nd rank in World Press Freedom Index.  Norway, Finland, Sweden, Netherlands, and Denmark have zero abuse score.

What is the Methodology?

The index is compiled on the basis of a questionnaire by the experts. It says, “The criteria evaluated in the questionnaire are pluralism, media independence, media environment and self-censorship, legislative framework, transparency, and the quality of the infrastructure that supports the production of news and information.” These indicators are compiled and calculated with the help of a formula.

RSF calculates two scores. The first, ScoA, is based on the first six of the seven indicators listed above. The second, ScoB, combines the first six indicators with the seventh (abuses). A country’s final score is the greater of these two scores. This method prevents an inappropriately low score (high ranking) being given to a country where few or no acts of violence against journalists take place because the provision of news and information is tightly controlled.
