Happy Children's Day 2021: Motivational quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru on his birth anniversary

-

Children's Day marks the birth anniversary of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, and is celebrated on 14 November every year. On this day, people across the country recall Nehru's teachings and pay their respects to the leader who was very fond of kids. He was fondly called 'Chacha Nehru' by children.

Children's Day is of great relevance as it stresses on the importance of educating the young generation, the future of the country. Before Nehru's death, India used to celebrate Children's Day on 20 November along with other countries, including the United Nations. However, after he passed away in 1964, the nation started celebrating this occasion on 14 November.

On this day, schools, colleges, and other educational institutions organise cultural events, speeches, and debates every year. However, due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis, no grand events will be held this year. This day also aims at raising awareness about various issues related to kids including child rights, education, abuse, among others.

Take a look at a few inspirational quotes by 'Chacha Nehru' on his birth anniversary below:

“A language is something infinitely greater than grammar and philology. It is the poetic testament of the genius of a race and a culture, and the living embodiment of the thoughts and fancies that have moulded them.”

“Loyal and efficient work in a great cause, even though it may not be immediately recognized, ultimately bears fruit.”

“Time is not measured by the passing of years but by what one does, what one feels, and what one achieves.”

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm, and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

"Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will.”

"It is a fundamental rule of human life, that if the approach is good, the response is good."

"The object of education was to produce a desire to serve the community as a whole and to apply the knowledge gained not only for personal but for public welfare."

"The only way to reform them (children) is to win them over with love. So long as a child is unfriendly, you can't mend his ways."

"The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu

Aditya L1 Mission: Spacecraft is nearing its final phase, says ISRO chief

-
Aditya L1 spacecraft is nearing its final phase, and manoeuvres to enter the L1 point are expected to be completed by January 7, 2024, according to ISRO Chairman S Somanath. “Aditya is on the way. I think it has reached almost its final phase,” the ISRO chief told PTI on the sidelines of an event organised at VSSC to commemorate the 60th year of the First Sounding Rocket Launch. Aditya L1, India’s first space-based mission to study the Sun, was successfully launched on September 2 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota. The spacecraft, after travelling about 1.5 million km from Earth over 125 days, is expected to be placed in a Halo orbit around the Lagrangian point L1, considered closest to the Sun. He said that the last preparations for the spacecraft’s entry into the L1 point are currently underway incrementally.”Possibly by January 7th, the final manoeuvres will be done for entering into the L1 point,” Somanath added. Among other tasks, it will capture and tr
