According to a press release from the Prime Minister’s Office, on November 14 and 15, 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will make his first visit to Ulihatu Village, the birthplace of Bhagwan Birsa Munda in Jharkhand.

At approximately nine in the morning on November 15, Prime Minister Modi will pay a floral tribute at the statue of Bhagwan Birsa Munda at the Bhagwan Birsa Munda Memorial Park/Freedom Fighter Museum in Ranchi. From there, he will travel to Ulihatu Village, the village where Bhagwan Birsa Munda was born.

According to the release, PM Modi will also take part in a programme commemorating the third Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas, 2023, in Khunti, starting at around 11:30 AM.

‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra’ and the Pradhan Mantri Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG) Mission will be launched by him during the programme.

According to the official announcement, the PM will also unveil the fifteenth installment of PM-KISAN, inaugurate, dedicate to the country, and lay the cornerstone for a number of Jharkhand development projects.

According to the press release, PM Modi has been working tirelessly to ensure that the government’s flagship programmes reach all of their intended beneficiaries in a timely manner in order to reach saturation.

On the occasion of Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas, the Prime Minister will initiate the “Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra,” a significant step towards achieving this goal of scheme saturation.

The press release also emphasised that the ‘Yatra’s’ main goals will be to engage the public and spread awareness of the advantages of welfare programmes such as access to LPG cylinders, electricity connections, sanitation facilities, affordable housing for the underprivileged, proper nutrition, safe drinking water, and dependable healthcare.

Potential beneficiaries will be enrolled using the information gathered during the Yatra.

As per the official statement, the ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra’ will be inaugurated in Khunti, Jharkhand, by the Prime Minister, who will also flag off IEC (Information, Education and Communication) vans.

Beginning in districts with sizable tribal populations, the Yatra will eventually traverse every district in the nation by January 25, 2024.

The Prime Minister will also introduce the first-of-its-kind “Pradhan Mantri Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PM PVTG) Mission” during the programme, according to a press release from the PMO.

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
