Analysis of Biotechnology Regulatory Authority Bill (BRAI):: The issue is not limited to Bt Brinjal or Bt bacteria alone, the Part I - Schedule I of the proposed legislation also allows the companies to make genetically modified animals and even Clones of animals. Despite such serious implications, there is no punishment prescribed if someone violates the provisions of clinical trial as provided in part I. neither is there any safeguard or liability clause provided. Clearly the bill has been written by the Corporate and not the Government. It looks like that our ministers have not even read the bill.

Food Safety And Regulation Mechanism [In Relation to GM] - Hemant Goswami
Taking about the legal aspect of the laws relating to food security and safety, social activist Hemant Goswami mentioned that way back in 1860 also the penal code provided safeguards against foods and eatables which can cause harm to human health or environment. Food Adulteration Act and Food Safety Act 2006 further assured the right of citizens to have safe food. However the commercial interests are trying to gain backdoor entry in the name of genetically modified crops and food by discarding all precautionary principals of food safety and security. Genetically modified food requires multi-generational tests as they have not evolved naturally. It would be dangerous to adopt anything as food until and unless it has been found to be safe for a minimum of three generation of any animal; at least the mice.
Criticizing the proposed Biotechnology Regulatory Authority Bill (BRAI), Hemant mentioned that, “The proposed BRAI bill largely takes care only of the multinational companies trying to dominate the food chain and push genetically engineered food to Indian consumers without proper food safety safeguards. The bill is not only anti people and anti farmer but also against the Constitutional provisions of Article 19 and 21. In absence of other safeguards, the rubber stamp BRAI will make us slaves of the powerful MNC’s and countries.”

Social Media for Good Governance
The document outlines 7 ways that social media contributes to good governance: 1) It brings government closer to the people and allows for civil engagement and participation. 2) It enables an open grievance process and ensures political decisions consider citizen needs. 3) It allows for direct participation and lobbying groups to advocate for issues. 4) It counters misinformation campaigns and promotes transparency. 5) It promotes fundamental human rights like freedom of speech. 6) It provides a fast and cost-effective way to deliver public services and gather feedback. 7) However, social media is a double-edged sword and can also be used against democracy through issues like privacy violations and spreading misinformation.
An Analysis of "Make in India" Program of Government of India
The document discusses India's trade balance and key imports and exports. It notes that India has recorded sustained trade deficits since 1980 mainly due to high growth in imports like crude oil, gold, and silver. India's main imports are from China, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and the US and include petroleum, gold/silver, machinery, electronics, and precious stones. Major exports include drugs/pharmaceuticals, cotton yarn/fabrics, handicrafts, and the pharmaceutical industry is poised for continued growth, making it a promising sector. However, issues like weak domestic IPR protection and global inequality pose challenges.

Inter generational equality and ecological resources
Indian Constitution defines “Right to Equality” guaranteed under Article 14, as; “Equality before law,” and reads as follows, “The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India.” (Singhvi, 2008) Article 14 read along-with Article 21 i.e. ‘Right to life,’ has acquired a much broader meaning with the broadest possible concept of equality among all. This concept of equality certainly extends to ‘equal rights for all people to enjoyment and use of nature’s gifts.’ The Indian Supreme Court has upheld it many a times and often interpreted this right as overriding the rights of artificial juristic persons, i.e. corporate engaged in purely economic activities.
The question to be considered here is, “Is this right to equality is limited to people living/existing presently or does this right extend and transcend future generations too?” Is it to be inferred that a person yet to be born after 200 years also have the same right over nature? Does this mean that equality has to be maintained across generations too? Therefore, is this inter-generational equality not only a basic human-right but also an enforceable legislative and constitutional right? Can we monetize and attach a notional value to something which does not belong to us? How can a future generation, due to come after 200 or 500 years ensure equality with present generation? Is this inter-generational ‘Right to Equality’ enforceable, and can it be effectively legislated? How can the levels of this inter-generational equality be calculated?
Industry Driven Science versus True Science
What is science supposed to do?
Search for Truth
Science is to provide a basic understanding of the subject and contributes in sum-total of intellect
Application of science is intended to help improve the overall quality of life in a wholesome manner.
Science should help to foresee the future holistically (cause, effect and consequences, in all its dimensions) and help in forecasting and solving the future issues within the control of human beings; without disturbing the overall equilibrium in any manner.

Future of Hunger
This document discusses issues related to patents, intellectual property rights (IPR), and their impact on agriculture and food security in India. It notes that provisions in international treaties and Indian laws regarding patents and IPRs have negatively impacted Indian farmers and the agriculture sector. While agricultural production and subsidies for fertilizers have increased over time, food insecurity remains a major problem in India. The document questions whether recent laws and policies favor commercial interests over the rights of farmers and food security for all Indians. It suggests there may be a conspiracy to control hunger for commercial gain.
Talk on "Agriculture in the Era of Farmer's Sucide"
This document discusses issues related to agriculture and farmers in India. It notes that over 60% of India's workforce is directly involved in agriculture but the sector only accounts for around 30% of GDP. Farmer suicide rates have more than doubled after 1997 according to National Crime Records Bureau data from 1997-2005. Despite large government subsidies for fertilizers, Indian agriculture is struggling and food production has not increased at the same rate as fertilizer use. The document questions whether there are agendas or conspiracies at play in the laws and policies related to seeds, intellectual property rights, and support for GM crops, in order to control hunger. It argues this may be the biggest human rights issue and scam in history.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
