PM Narendra Modi addresses a rally in Gorakhpur on Tuesday

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday inaugurated three mega projects in Gorakhpur which include a new AIIMS spread across a sprawling 112 acres, a big fertiliser plant and an ICMR research centre, giving a booster shot to development in eastern Uttar Pradesh.

The three ambitious projects have been set up with an investment of over Rs 9,600 crore and have been completed ahead of the UP assembly elections scheduled for early next year. 

Addressing a massive rally at Gorakhpur, the Prime Minister said that the BJP’s “double-engine” government which also works at twice the speed of others had succeeded in ending the long-wait for proper healthcare facilities by the people of eastern Uttar Pradesh. 

He said that patients from the region will now no longer have to travel to big cities for treatment as modern healthcare facilities were available at their doorstep.

He pointed out that since many years after independence there was only one AIIMs in the country, but since the last 7 years work has been on for setting up as many as 16 AIIMS in the country. 

Similarly, the new ICMR research centre that has been inaugurated will help to fight vector-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria and Japanese encephalitis that were prevalent in the region.

Indian scientists develop better technique to detect Covid-19

A team of Indian scientists has developed a new technology platform for fluorometric detection of SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) that is more reliable than the existing techniques, according to information provided by the Ministry of Science and Technology.  The technology platform detects viruses by measuring the fluorescent light that is emitted and can also be used to detect other DNA/RNA pathogens such as HIV, influenza, HCV, Zika, Ebola, bacteria, and other mutating pathogens. Scientists from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, an autonomous institute of the government, along with scientists from IISc (India Institute of Science), have demonstrated a noncanonical nucleic acid-based G-quadruplex (GQ) topology targeted reliable conformational polymorphism (GQ-RCP) platform to diagnose Covid-19 clinical samples. This work has been published recently in the journal ‘ACS Sensors’ and the team has also filed a patent for the novel technology. Read More
