  • National Cereal Day is celebrated annually on March 7th. It’s a day to celebrate the rich history of cereal and enjoy your favorite breakfast food.

 

1) National Horticulture Fair 2024:

  • The Indian Institute of Horticulture Research (IIHR) is hosting a three-day National Horticulture Fair at its Hessarghatta premises on the outskirts of Bengaluru from March 5 to 7, 2024.
  • The theme of the fair, “Nextgen technology-led horticulture for sustainable development,” highlights the integration of cutting-edge technologies in horticultural practices to promote sustainability and boost farmers’ income.
  • The National Horticulture Fair 2024 is being organized by ICAR-IIHR in collaboration with the Society for Promotion of Horticulture (SPH), BESST-HORT (a Technology Business Incubator ICAR-IIHR), ICAR-ATARI Bengaluru, and leading development departments serving for the cause and promotion of horticulture and allied sectors.

2) Scheme For Internally Displaced Persons:

  • The Election Commission of India (ECI) has introduced a scheme allowing internally displaced persons (IDPs) of Manipur to vote at relief camps.
  • Following ethnic violence in May 2023, over 60,000 people were displaced and housed in relief camps, with an additional 9,000 in Mizoram.
  • According to the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, internally displaced persons (also known as “IDPs“) are “persons or groups of persons who have been forced or obliged to flee or to leave their homes or places of habitual residence, in particular as a result of or in order to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalized violence, violations of human rights or natural or human-made disasters, and who have not crossed an internationally recognized border.”

 

3) MethaneSAT:

  • The MethaneSAT satellite was launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon9 rocket from California.
  • MethaneSAT will track and measure methane emissions at a global scale.
  • It will provide more details and have a much wider field of view than any of its predecessors.
  • The entity behind MethaneSAT is the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) — a US-based nonprofit environmental advocacy group.
  • It is developed in collaboration with Harvard University, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, and the New Zealand Space Agency.
  • It will orbit the Earth 15 times a day, monitoring the oil and gas sector.
  • It will create a large amount of data, which will tell “how much methane is coming from where, who’s responsible, and are those emissions going up or down over time”,

 

4) RAD51 Protein : Preventing DNA Re-Replication

  • Researchers recently identified the RAD51 protein as a key player in preventing DNA re-replication.
  • RAD51 recombinase (RAD51) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in homologous recombination and DNA repair.
  • RAD51 has the function of finding and invading homologous DNA sequences to enable accurate and timely DNA repair.
  • The RAD51 protein binds to the DNA at the site of a break and encases it in a protein sheath, which is an essential first step in the repair process.
  • Breaks in DNA can be caused by natural and medical radiation or other environmental exposures, and also occur when chromosomes exchange genetic material in preparation for cell division.
  • In the nucleus of many types of normal cells, the RAD51 protein interacts with many other proteins, including BRCA1 and BRCA2, to fix damaged DNA.
  • The BRCA2 protein regulates the activity of the RAD51 protein by transporting it to sites of DNA damage in the nucleus.

 

5) India’s first underwater metro in Kolkata:

  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated India’s first under-river metro tunnel in Kolkata. The metro tunnel has been built under Kolkata’s Hooghly River that will connect Howrah Maidan to Esplanade.

  • Once commissioned, India will only be the second country after Russia to have a commercially operating Fast Breeder Reactor.

8) World’s first country to enshrine abortion in the constitution:

  • France has become the first country in the world to explicitly include the right to abortion in its constitution. Parliamentarians voted to revise the country’s 1958 constitution to enshrine women’s “guaranteed freedom” to abort.
