On Civil Services Day, PM Modi tells bureaucrats no time to waste as India’s time has arrived

-

News Delhi: The government system should support the aspirations of common people for a developed India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said while addressing bureaucrats on the occasion of 16th ‘Civil Services Day’ at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi on Friday.

Addressing the gathering of civil servants, the Prime Minister said that the government servants that there are two approaches to life, first, getting things done and second letting things happen. “The first is an active attitude and the second reflects a passive attitude. People with faith in getting things done take ownership in a proactive manner and become the driving force of their teams,” he said.

“By this burning desire to bring change in the lives of the people you will be able to leave a memorable legacy. You will not be judged by what you have done for yourself but by what changes have you brought in the lives of the people”, he said.

Giving examples of Aspirational districts that are performing better than other districts on many development parameters due to good governance, he said people-centric governance solves problems and gives better results.

Modi also highlighted transformative changes in the rural economy, railways, highways, port capacity augmentation and the number of airports, saying that India is rising as the 5th largest economy in the world, taking strides in fintech as it secures the number one position in digital transactions, one of the cheapest mobile data providers and the third largest startup ecosystem in the world.

Highlighting the importance and necessity of political parties with different ideologies in a democracy, the Prime Minister stressed the need for bureaucracy to assess whether the political party in power is utilizing the taxpayers’ money for the benefit of the nation.

“It is the duty of the bureaucrats to analyse whether a political party is making use of taxpayers’ money for the benefit of the country”, the Prime Minister continued,” he said.

Modi also stated that young civil servants have the opportunity to make a mark of prominence in history when the accomplishments of the nation will be evaluated after 100 years of independence. “You can say with pride that I have played a role in creating new systems for the country and also improving it. I am sure all of you will continue to expand your role in nation-building”, he concluded.

During the event, the PM also conferred the Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Public Administration to recognize the “extraordinary and innovative” work done by the districts and organizations of the centre and the state governments for the welfare of common citizens.

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
