Moment of glory! Harnaaz Sandhu who became the Miss Universe 2021, brought home the title after 21

Chandigarh-based model Harnaaz Sandhu has been crowned the new Miss Universe, becoming the third Indian to win the title after Sushmita Sen in 1994 and Lara Dutta won the title in 2000.

Harnaaz represented India today at the 70th Miss Universe 2021, held in Eilat, Israel.

The 21-year-old from Punjab pipped Paraguay's Nadia Ferreira and South Africa's Lalela Mswane in the final round to win the coveted title.

Harnaaz was presented the crown by Andrea Meza, former Miss Universe 2020 from Mexico.

On being asked what advice she would give to young women on how to deal with the pressures they face, Harnaaz nonchalantly replied: "The biggest pressure the youth of today is facing is to believe in themselves, to know that you are unique and that's what makes you beautiful. Stop comparing yourselves with others and let's talk about more important things that's happening worldwide."

"This is what you need to understand. Come out, speak for yourselves because you are the leader of your life, you are the voice of your own. I believed in myself and that's why I am standing here today," Harnaaz said.

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
