According to World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), India reported an outbreak of highly contagious H5N1 bird flu virus on a poultry research farm in state of Bihar. In similar incident, state administration of Maharashtra also confirmed on February 17, 2022, that poultry birds at a small farm in Thane have succumbed to H5N1.
What is H5N1 bird flu?
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 is a subtype of “influenza A virus’’. It can cause illness in humans and many other animal species. A bird-adapted strain of H5N1 is the highly pathogenic causative agent of H5N1 flu, commonly called as avian influenza (or bird flu). It is enzootic in many bird populations, particularly in Southeast Asia. One strain of HPAI A(H5N1) is spreading across the globe, after first appearing in Asia. It is epizootic and panzootic, that kills millions of birds.
Vaccines for H5N1
Various H5N1 vaccines have been developed and approved. These vaccines are stockpiled by a number of countries, including United States, France, Britain, Canada, and Australia, for an emergency use.
World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE)
The World Organisation for Animal Health, formerly called as Office International des Epizooties (OIE), is an intergovernmental organization that coordinates, supports and promotes animal disease control. Main objective of OIE is to control epizootic diseases and prevent their spread. Other objectives of OIE includes- transparency, international solidarity, scientific information, food safety, sanitary safety, promotion of Veterinary Services, and animal welfare. It is recognized as a reference organisation by World Trade Organization (WTO). As of 2018, it had a total of 182 member states. the newest member state is Saint Lucia.
US woman have become the third person worldwide and first woman, to be cured of HIV.
Stem cell transplants
Potential of stem cell transplants was demonstrated in 2007. Timothy Ray Brown was the first person to be cured of HIV. He underwent a transplant from a donor, who was naturally resistant to HIV. Since then, this feat has been repeated only twice, with Adam Castillejo and the women patient.
Is this the cure for HIV?
There are some people worldwide, who have natural mutation in their gene. This makes them resistant to HIV. Now, scientists used ‘umbilical cord blood’ from the donor for bone marrow transplant treatment of woman with leukaemia. As a surprise, woman was cured of HIV as well. This was possible because donor’s umbilical cord blood had aforementioned mutation, which cured women’s HIV infection after transplantation. This was the first ever treatment where umbilical cord blood has been used to cure HIV. However, mutation screening in umbilical cord blood is important before using it to treat HIV. Thus, it is not a generalisable treatment, currently.
Human Immunodeficiency Viruses (HIV)
HIV are two species of Lentivirus, that infect humans. They cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) over time, which is a condition where progressive failure of immune system allows life-threatening cancers and opportunistic infections to thrive. Depending on HIV subtype, Average survival time after infection with HIV is 9 to 11 years, without treatment.

Death toll from mudslides and floods in colonial-era city of Petropolis in Brazil increased to 117 on February 17, 2022 and was expected to increase further because of heavy rains in the country in almost a century.
Background
Brazil has been swept by heavy rains since December 2021. Rains have caused several deadly floods and landslides. In January 2022, torrential rain triggered floods and landslides, killing at least 28 people in south-eastern Brazil, specifically in Sao Paulo state. Petropolis and surrounding region were earlier hit by severe storms in January 2011, in which 900 people died due to flooding and landslides.
What is the reason of heavy rains?
As per experts, rainy season in Brazil is being augmented by La Nina which is defined as the cyclical cooling of Pacific Ocean. It is also due to impact of climate change, because warmer atmosphere holds more water. Global warming increases the risk and intensity of flooding due to extreme rainfall.
Under the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has issued guidelines on Extended Producers Responsibility (EPR) on plastic packaging.
Overview
With effect from July 1, 2022, the rules on extended producer responsibility, as well as the prohibition of selected single-use plastic items with low usefulness and high littering potential, are essential measures in reducing pollution caused by plastic waste in the country.
What do the guidelines say?
The guidelines establish a framework for improving the circular economy of plastic packaging waste, promoting the development of plastic alternatives, and establishing steps for firms moving toward sustainable plastic packaging. To limit the consumption of new plastic material for packaging, the standards require the reuse of rigid plastic packaging material.
The guidelines will help in the formalization and growth of the plastic waste management industry. The guidelines enable the sale and purchase of surplus extended producer responsibility certificates, establishing a market mechanism for plastic waste management for the first time.
The guidelines establish a framework for levying environmental compensation based on the polluter pays principle when producers, importers, and brand owners fail to meet extended producer responsibility targets, with the goal of protecting and improving the environment and preventing, controlling, and lessening pollution.
Environmental compensation does not exempt producers, importers, or brand owners of their responsibilities under these rules. Unfulfilled EPR responsibilities will be carried forward to the next year.
Bill Gates, noted philanthropist and creator of Microsoft have been awarded the Hilal-e-Pakistan, Pakistan’s second-highest civilian honor, for his efforts to help eradicate polio in the country.
A lunch was held at the Pakistani premier’s residence in honor of Bill Gates, who was briefed on Pakistan’s polio eradication efforts and Covid response.
Through Gavi, the vaccine alliance, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has been a major donor towards global polio eradication.
Gates also met with Asad Umar, the Minister of Planning and Development and the NCOC’s director, and Dr. Faisal Sultan, the Prime Minister’s Special Assistant for Health.
He was briefed on the NCOC’s function, as well as its accomplishments since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the non-pharmaceutical initiatives taken to prevent disease spread.
About GAVI

Recently, researchers traced the tectonic evolution of “Greater Maldive Ridge (GMR)” which is a geodynamic feature in western Indian Ocean.
What did the team find?
The team found that, Maldive Ridge might have formed in close vicinity of Mid-Oceanic Ridge, where new ocean floor is created due to divergent motion of spreading centre or lithospheric plates. They also concluded that, Deep-Sea Channel region (DSC) may probably be oceanic in nature, because of presence of underplated materials associated with hotspot volcanism. Researchers chalked possible geological cross-sections along the GMR, with the help of high-resolution gravity data derived from satellite.
Research team used gravity anomalies to form a three-dimensional picture of variation along the Greater Maldive Ridge and adjoining ocean basins.
State of Gravitational Equilibrium
Study provides the crustal architecture as well as the state of gravitational equilibrium between Earth’s crust and mantle of the GMR segment of larger Chagos-Laccadive Ridge (CLR) system. It was found that, Moho is deeper across Maldive Ridge (MR) segment and shallows southwards in Deep-Sea Channel region (DSC). However, effective elastic thickness values were lower over MR compared in DSC region.
Maldive Ridge
The Maldive Ridge is located in the western Indian Ocean, southwest of India. It is aseismic, that is not associated with earthquake activities. The ridge largely remains uninvestigated. It is of most importance to gain knowledge on structure and geodynamics of such structures. It is a submarine ridge, extends from western shore of Hindustan Peninsula to Arabian-Indian Ridge. It is about 3000 km in length, 200-450 km in width and have the elevation of 2-5 km. Peaks of this ridge rise above the water, to form coral islands (atolls) namely, the Laccadive Islands, Chagos Archipelago and Maldive Islands.
National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) recently relaxed the eligibility criteria for accreditation of higher educational institutions.
Validity of PAC
PAC will be valid for two years. Institutions will not get it more than two times it will give window for colleges to prepare accordingly.
Tamil Nadu has told the Supreme Court that it does not want the Indian Neutrino Observatory (INO) to be built in a vulnerable ecological zone in the Western Ghats, at the cost of wildlife and biodiversity, along with local opposition and public outcry against the project.
Why is the state opposing the implementation of the project?
The proposal for the observatory, according to the Tamil Nadu government, would create permanent damage to the Western Ghats.
In June 2021, the Chief Minister met with the Prime Minister and requested that the project not be implemented. In September 2021 a delegation led by Member of Parliament T.R. Balu met with the Ministers of Industries and Forests to communicate the State’s opposition to the proposal.
According to the State, this corridor connects the Periyar Tiger Reserve on the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border and the Mathikettan Shola National Park.
The project area also has ecological ties to the Srivilliputhur Meghamalai Tiger Reserve, which is located in the eastern habitats. It is home to tigers from the area, which assists in a genetic spread. The tiger’s movement would be affected by even the smallest disturbance. The area is also a significant watershed and catchment zone for the rivers Sambhal and Kottakudi.
Though the experiments in the observatory would be done a kilometer underground excavations, transporting, and tunneling would jeopardize the zone’s ecology.
So, going through with the implementation of the project will cause harm to this area.
About Neutrino Observatory
The India Neutrino Observatory (INO) is a particle physics research project being constructed in Theni, Tamil Nadu, to study atmospheric neutrinos. This project is noteworthy because it is expected to give exact measurements of neutrino mixing parameters. The project has a multi-institutional partnership and is one of India’s most significant experimental particle physics programmes.
If and when this project will be completed, the world’s largest magnet will be used in the magnetized iron calorimeter experiment, which will be four times larger than the 12,500-tonne magnet used in the Compact Muon Solenoid detector at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.
Recently, Chief Minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar announced that, February 15 would now be commemorated as “Shahid Diwas”.
About Tarapur Massacre
This incident took place on February 15, 1932, when a group of young freedom fighters had planned to hoist “Indian national flag” at Thana Bhavan in Tarapur. Police were not aware of their plan but several officers were present at the spot. During this, police carried out a brutal lathi charge on them. Despite the lathi charge, one of the freedom fighters (Gopal Singh) succeeded in raising the flag at Thana Bhavan. A strong crowd of 4,000 pelted the police with stones, in which an officer of civil administration was injured. In response, police opened indiscriminate fire on the crowd. Around 75 rounds were fired, after which 34 bodies were found at the spot.
India’s new green hydrogen policy was unveiled, promising cheaper renewable energy, a 25-year fee waiver for inter-state power transmission for projects completed before June 2025, land in renewable energy parks, and mega manufacturing zones to help local industries move away from fossil fuels.
The policy aims to boost green hydrogen and ammonia, also making it easier for green power producers to ‘bank’ their surplus renewable energy with an electrical distribution business for up to 30 days. It also proposes the construction of bunkers near ports for the storage of green ammonia for export.
Importance of Green Energy for India
The race for green energy takes is very important as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis has pushed up energy prices around the world, particularly in India, which imports 85 percent of its oil and 53 percent of its natural gas. A transformation to large-scale hydrogen fuel use could assist India’s geopolitical influence as well as its energy security. India’s strategy is to use its vast landmass and low solar and wind tariffs to manufacture low-cost green hydrogen and ammonia for export.
Domestic boost caused by the policy
Any new renewable energy facilities built to produce power for green hydrogen generation before July 2025 will receive 25 years of free power transmission under the new policy. This move is projected to make green hydrogen production more cost-effective for users of hydrogen and ammonia, such as the fertilizer, oil refining, and steel industries.
On February 19, 2022, Asia’s largest Bio-CNG plant will virtually be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Indore.
How will Bio-CNG plant be operated?
The Bio-CNG plant will be operated using 100 per cent wet waste. It is estimated to produce 18,000 kg gas per day. As per estimates of Indore Municipal Corporation, amount of Bio-CNG will help in running around 400 buses in the city daily.
Capacity of the plant
The bio-CNG plant has a total capacity of 550 MT. It will produce CNG with 96 per cent pure methane gas.
PPP model
This ‘lighthouse plant’ has been set up under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, by Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) and Indo Enviro Integrated Solutions Limited (IEISL). From this, Indore Municipal Corporation will earn a revenue of Rs 2.5 crore per year.
Significance of the plant
This plant will improve the calorific value as well as increase the effectiveness of Bio-CNG. It will help in purifying the air quality of densely-populated cities. It will further help in mitigating 1,30,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually.
Location of the plant
The bio-CNG plant is located at Devguradiya Trenching Ground in Indore.
Features of the plant
This plant has some unique features, like:
Indore: Cleanest City of India
Indore has emerged as the cleanest city in India, over the past few years. It ensures 100 per cent segregation of solid waste at source. It leads to less than 1 per cent impurities in wet waste. As per experts, quality of wet waste in Indore is one of the best across the world. This prompted the private partners to participate in PPP bid to set up the plant.
On the basis of several efforts taken by the government in Budget 2022-23, the Indian economy is expected to grow at the fastest rate among the large nations, according to the Finance Ministry’s Monthly Economic Review.
Agriculture will boost food stocks as it continues to rise via crop diversification and the net sown area which in turn will benefit farmers through large volumes of purchases made at remunerative minimum support prices and income transfers under the PM KISAN scheme.
The review added that India is still the only major and large country listed by the IMF whose growth projection has been revised upwards in FY 2022-23, despite IMF’s January 2022 update lowering its global growth estimate for 2022.
According to the report, the Budget of 2022-23 has reinforced the economic direction set by the previous year’s budget.
The CAPEX budget, which is 35.4 percent higher than the current year’s budget estimates and rises to 4.1 percent of GDP when grants-in-aid to states for capital works are considered, will power Gatishakti’s seven engines, reducing the infrastructure gap and helping private investment in the country.
The report said, considering the third wave of COVID-19, overall economic activity remained strong as seen by the strong performance of numerous high-frequency indicators such as electricity consumption, exports, PMI manufacturing, and e-way bill generation.
In 2022-23, the Budget has set a nominal GDP growth target of 11.1%, with a GDP deflator of 3.0-3.5%. This indicated real growth component of just over 8% is similar to the prediction in the Economic Survey for 2021-22, as well as the 7.8% predicted by RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) during the meeting that was held on February 2022.
The MPC’s accommodative approach, together with the unchanged repo and reverse repo rates, prioritizes growth during these uncertain times and strengthens the budget’s focus on investment.
Since 1963, the Munich Security Conference has been held in Munich, Germany, as an annual conference on international security policy. Münchner Konferenz für Sicherheitspolitik and Wehrkundetagung were the previous names for the conference. It is the largest meeting of its kind in the world.
The Munich Security Conference has developed into the most important independent venue for international security policy decision-makers to exchange ideas during the last four decades.
Every year, it brings together over 350 top officials from over 70 countries to engage in a discussion on various security concerns. Heads of state, international organizations, and governments as well as members of parliament, ministers, high-ranking military representatives, civil society, science, the media, and business are among those expected to attend this conference.
The conference takes place every year in February in the Bayerischer Hof Hotel in Munich, Germany.
History
The conference arose from Ewald-Heinrich von Kleist-Internationale Schmenzin’s Wehrkundebegegnung / Münchner Wehrkundetagung, which he created in 1963.
The Stauffenberg circle of resistance fighters advocated for the prevention of future military confrontations such as the Second World War and gathered together leaders and professionals in security policy to do so. Henry Kissinger and Helmut Schmidt were among the 60 people who attended the inaugural meeting.
Von Kleist headed the meetings until 1997 when he was succeeded by politician and business manager Horst Teltschik, who led them from 1999 to 2008.
Wolfgang Ischinger, a veteran diplomat, has led the conference since 2009.
This conference has been cancelled twice, once in 1991 because of the First Gulf War and again in 1997 due to Kleist-Schmenzin’s retirement. The Security Conference started in the year 1999 under Teltschik’s leadership for military, political, and business leaders from Eastern and Central, as well as India, the People’s Republic of China and Japan.
The first country to adopt India’s UPI system will be Nepal which will be critical in modernising the neighbouring country’s digital economy.
To deliver the services in Nepal, NPCI International Payments Ltd (NIPL), NPCI’s international arm, has partnered with Manam Infotech and Gateway Payments Service (GPS). In Nepal, GPS is the authorized payment system operator, and Manam Infotech will implement the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) there.
Purpose of the collaboration

Central Bank Governors and G20 Finance Ministers are looking for a sustainable long-term international financial solution with the help of strengthening the global resilience in the event of future pandemics and closing gaps in health systems between countries.
The G20 Financial leaders discussed this issue during the two days G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (FMCBG) meeting which was held in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Indonesia’s finance minister, said to the G20 participants in a discussion panel that the Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated that the global health system is not prepared to deal with the pandemic and that the global financing system is still insufficient.
The G20 member countries should work together to create a more resilient global health system, which will demand more financial investment and resources.
President of the World Bank Group David Malpass advised that the G20 countries create international platforms to aid developing and low-income countries in their recovery from the crisis.
According to Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, low and middle-income countries, lack the means to deal with the pandemic and require international assistance. Hence, she has urged the members to provide quick vaccination deliveries to close the gap between the countries.
