🔆Machine learning and Artificial intelligence technology hub
✅In a groundbreaking initiative, the Department of Science & Technology has joined forces with the Telangana government-led T-Hub to establish a unique Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Technology Hub (MATH).
✅This collaboration aims to foster AI innovation, create job opportunities, and provide a conducive ecosystem for AI startups in India.
📍State-of-the-Art Facilities
✅T-Hub has dedicated an entire floor to MATH, which will be equipped with cutting-edge facilities to support AI and ML development. These include:
✅A mini data center with GPU capabilities
✅A world-class learning management system (LMS) tailored for AI education
✅Robust data infrastructure to support diverse AI applications
✅These facilities will provide startups, researchers, and students with the necessary tools and resources to drive AI and ML innovation
📍Nurturing AI Startups and Creating Jobs
✅MATH is positioning itself as the go-to destination for AI-driven initiatives across the country.
✅The center of excellence (CoE) has set ambitious targets to nurture over 150 startups per annum and generate more than 500 AI-related jobs by 2025.
✅By providing access to state-of-the-art compute infrastructure, AI skilling programs, data lakes, virtual connectivity to global AI ecosystems, and opportunities for patent conversion, MATH aims to become the ultimate destination for all things AI and ML.
✅The launch of MATH comes at a crucial time, as India’s AI market is experiencing significant growth. Estimates suggest that the market is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25-35% and is expected to reach $17 billion by 2027.

🔆Vampire Viruses:
✅They are pathogens that latch onto other viruses in order to replicate themselves.
✅They emerge when a bacteriophage attaches to a soil-based virus, utilising its "life" for independent survival.
✅This viral relationship between two pathogens is called a satellite and a helper.
✅The satellite is the infectious strand that relies on the helper for support through its life cycle.
✅Satellites depend on both their host organism and helper virus to complete its life cycle.
✅The satellite virus depends on the helper virus to build the protective shell that covers its genetic material, called a capsid or to help it replicate its DNA.
✅Most satellite viruses contain a gene that allows them to integrate into the host cell’s genetic material after they enter the cell.
✅This enables the satellite to reproduce whenever a helper enters the cell from then on.
✅The host cell also copies the satellite’s DNA and its own when it divides.

🔆Baler Machine
✅With the problem of farm fires being taken up by the Supreme Court, Baler machines have been in demand in Punjab.
✅Baler machines have been around for a decade, and currently around 2,000 of them operate in Punjab. Of
these 1,268 are highly subsidised (50-80%) under the Centre’s Crop Residue Management (CRM) scheme.
Need Of The Machine
✅Upon harvesting, the paddy crop leaves a stubble on the ground. Farmers need to get rid of this stubble before the next crop can be sown.
✅Farmers burn the stubble, the smoke from which becomes one of the largest air pollutants around November each year.
✅More environment-friendly methods include incorporation of the stubble into the soil using machines such as super seeders (in situ management).
✅However, this leaves fields vulnerable to insect attacks, necessitating the use of toxic insecticides. Thus, ex situ management is preferable. This is where baler machines come in.

MISHTI (Mangrove Initiative for Shoreline Habitats & Tangible Incomes) MISHTI is a new programme that will facilitate mangrove plantation along India’s coastline and on salt pan lands. The programme will operate through “convergence between MGNREGS, Campa Fund and other sources • Sundarbans in Bengal being one of the largest mangrove forests on the planet. • Mangroves can sequester up to four times more carbon than tropical rainforests.

Amrit Dharohar will emphasise on the importance of wetlands and their preservation, with an outlook that is inclusive of local communities as caretakers of the ecosystem.

Ozone concentration is measured in dobson
• Over the rest(apart from Antarctica) of the world, the ozone layer is expected to be back to where it was in 1980 by 2040 itself
• The assessment has reported that nearly 99 per cent of the substances banned by the Montreal Protocol have now been eliminated from use
• The ozone hole over Antarctica is the biggest during the months of September, October, and November.
• chief cause of ozone depletion was the use of chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, that were used extensively in the airconditioning, refrigeration, paints, and furniture industries.
• The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol seeks to eliminate 80-90 per cent of the HFCs currently in use by the year 2050

Kosi river:
✅ The Kosi River is a trans-boundary river, running across important cities in Bihar and Nepal.
✅Its origin is in Tibet.
✅Joins Ganga in Bihar.
✅The Koshi River System includes some rivers that have their sources in the self-governing territory of Tibet in China.
✅These rivers include the Sun, Kosi, the Arun, and the Bhote Kosi.
✅ The Kosi River is famous for being one of the biggest tributaries of the Ganga (or the
Ganges).
✅ It is also known as the “Sorrow of Bihar” as the annual floods.
✅ Its unstable nature has been attributed to the heavy silt it carries during the monsoon season, and flooding in India has extreme effects
