Uganda grows 100% organic cotton and cotton grown by the farmers in Uganda gives higher ginning out turn compared with Indian cotton. However, the yield from the varieties developed by the CDRA are higher compared with the Ugandan cotton seed. Scientists in the three organisations will work together and seed varieties will be tested in both India and Uganda. The aim is to develop a long-staple cotton seed variety that will increase the income for cotton farmers in Uganda.

The team has successfully developed a low-fat synbiotic ice cream using beta-MOS, a plant-derived fibre as a prebiotic component and Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus fermentum as probiotics.

The researchers selected a range of anthropometry in India to base their studies on. The design was based on the premise of minimum stress generation during the insertion of threaded Titanium implants. For every diameter the abutment size is different, and they all have a different screw. So the researchers made a multi-functional component and a patent was filed on the basis of a less expensive dental implant system.

Underwater archaeology is a specialized branch of archaeology that involves recovering submerged remains such as ports, shipwrecks and studying proxy records of maritime activity from archaeological excavations as well as archival and historical records. There are an estimated three million undiscovered shipwrecks lying on the ocean floor, according to the Unesco. Between 1824 and 1962, over 12,000 sailing ships and war vessels were lost at sea. Many of them got wrecked in Indian coastal waters.

“The process for acquiring land for the rocket launching pad has begun. The land requirement will be about 2,300 acres. The project activity is expected to begin in six months time,” Tuticorin District Collector Sandeep Nanduri told .

“Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has planned to launch mega next-generation high-throughput satellites GSAT-20 by mid next year. This Satellite would tackle the country’s connectivity issues,” said a Top officer of Department of Sapce (DoS) on 28 November, 2019.
