Nita Ambani launches NMACC website, first-of-its-kind global destination for performers, artists

-

New Delhi: The Reliance Foundation is preparing a grand debut for the country’s most modern cultural centre for the performing as well as visual arts in Mumbai named after Founder Chairperson Nita Ambani. Ahead of the inauguration, the cultural centre’s website was launched on Friday by the chairperson.

The first-of-its-kind cultural centre—the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) is housed within the Jio World Centre in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC). It will emerge as one of the most sought-after venues to showcase the best of India’s art and culture globally as well as bring international cultural performances to India.

Sharing her vision for the new centre in Mumbai at the launch of the website, Nita Ambani called it “a tribute to India’s glorious legacy, traditions, and heritage.”

The Founder Chairperson described the cultural centre as a truly inclusive centre for performers and visitors, as well as for dreamers and creators. The NMACC will aim to make the arts accessible to everyone with world-class infrastructure.

“I hope our spaces nurture and inspire talent, bringing people together from across India and the world,” she said, while calling NMACC “a commitment to preserve and promote Indian arts”.

The NMACC is Nita Ambani’s dream project to create an international destination in India for local art, artists, performers, and creators, better than what is available in the United States or Europe.

Earlier, Isha Ambani had announced the opening of NMACC in October 2022 to honour her mother’s love for culture. On Friday, Isha Ambani said, “My mother Nita Ambani is a philanthropist, educationist, businesswoman…. But at her core, her strongest identity is that of a Bharat Natyam dancer. For more than 50 years she has danced every day. I have seen her dedicate time towards her craft. Her passion for the arts is unparalleled. Over the past few years, my mother and I along with our teams have worked relentlessly… towards making her dream come true.”

The four-storeyed NMACC will contain 16000 square feet of purpose-built exhibition space and three theatres. The largest of these, a 2,000-seat Grand Theatre, will include an extraordinary and unique lotus-themed chandelier with 8,400 Swarovski crystals.

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
