Amir Khan's Satyamev Jayate EXPOSED To watch, Click here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TELuurQI7a0 How celebrities distort facts and science for their commercial gains... NOW EXPOSED To watch, Click here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TELuurQI7a0 When I saw this program on youtube, I was thinking, why people like Amir Khan had to do all this? Why he or his research team was not able to study the scientific facts, available in public domain and internet, before going ahead for such programs.  May be technical facts don't make sensations and can't provide TRPs. That is why no TV channel has any science based program. All are filled with fiction, crime, cinema and cricket. Amir Khan being an entertainer also wanted to capitalize this through a subject which touches everyone and essential for life i.e. food.  While doing so, Amir Khan forgot that in this country there are rules to protect publ...

Wheat Economy: Growing Pain for Farmers - Diminishing Gain for Government

Image
Wheat Economy is at Cross Roads:   Time to review Wheat related Policies and Products By: Vijay Sardana Photo By: Vijay Sardana near Pakistan Border in Amritsar District Last week I was in Haryana and Punjab to meet farmers and to know how much money they make in wheat crop. You will surprise to know farmers are growing wheat under compulsion and not happy with wheat as projected. there are many other options which are more profitable but government policies don't allow those sectors to come up. Why blame the farmers. the biggest benefit of wheat and paddy is to state governments and not to farmers. Farmers are working like laborer for the state governments so that states can earn revenue from mandi tax and FCI procurement due to state policies. It is harvesting season for wheat in Punjab and Haryana, newspapers will carry headlines about how wheat is handled and how wheat is managed in mandies. Let me share some of my thoughts on...

Now Genetically Design your Animals before Breeding

Now You can design your own Animals before Breeding  Pig 26 was engineered to have a gene making it immune to African swine fever. (Thinkstock) Scientists from the laboratory which created Dolly the cloned sheep have now produced a disease-resistant piglet using a new technique which is simpler than cloning , paving way for genetically modified meat. The piglet called "Pig 26" is the first animal to be created via " gene editing ". It was born four months ago at Edinburgh's Roslin Institute, where Dolly the cloned sheep was created in 1996. The new technique, which is faster and more efficient than existing methods, can alleviate major concerns of anti-GM campaigners because it does not involve the use of antibiotic-resistance genes, The Telegraph reported.  Scientists hope it could make genetic engineering of livestock more acceptable to the public and be key to the challenge of feeding the growing global population. "Gene-editing"...
