#Cabinet approves Mission for Cotton Productivity with an outlay of ₹ 5659.22 crore

India is the second largest cotton producer with 297 Lakhs bales in 2024-25. The domestic demand is expected to increase to 450 Lakh bales by 2030-31

The Mission, which has been approved to meet the increased demand, comprises 3️⃣ components:
-Research
-Increase in production technologies
-Motivating farmers for new age fibres

- Union Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell (eukaryotic cell) ever produced.

This groundbreaking model, often termed a "Cellular Landscape Cross-Section Through a Eukaryotic Cell," combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to map molecular structures in extreme detail.

For decades, biology textbooks have enshrined a simple rule: DNA is made by copying a template. After one enzyme unzips a DNA double helix into separate strands, another called a polymerase builds a complementary sequence, base by base, for each strand. Presto: two copies of the original DNA.

But new research into how bacteria defend themselves from viruses now shows this synthesis rule isn’t absolute.

Now, a team describes a bacterial enzyme that synthesizes DNA without a nucleic acid template, using its own structure as a guide.

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Nagpur: Cotton takes brown and green shades at ICAR-Central Institute for Cotton Research.

Scientists say natural shades of these new cotton varieties will not fade and may reduce the need for chemical dyes in the textile industry.

According to researchers, with no dyeing required for these cotton varieties, water usage will be less. Which will also keep rivers free from liquid wastes.

ICAR-CIAE, Bhopal has developed a brush-type cotton stripper cum pre-cleaner for HDPS cotton. Costing ₹15 lakh, it cuts harvesting cost to ₹5/kg, saves 90% time and boosts farmer profitability.

आज महाशिवरात्रि के पावन अवसर पर भोपाल स्थित ICAR - केंद्रीय कृषि अभियांत्रिकी संस्थान (CIAE) के वैज्ञानिकों द्वारा विकसित कपास हार्वेस्टिंग मशीन किसानों को समर्पित की।

अब तक कपास की तुड़ाई हाथ से करनी पड़ती थी। इसमें समय तथा श्रम भी अधिक लगता था और लागत भी बढ़ जाती थी। किसानों की लंबे समय से मांग थी कि ऐसी मशीन बने, जिससे कपास हार्वेस्ट आसान हो सके। आज वह मांग पूरी हुई है।

यह मशीन जल्द ही किसानों के लिए उपलब्ध होगी। मैंने स्वयं मशीन से कपास निकालने की प्रक्रिया का अवलोकन किया। यह तकनीक न केवल समय बचाएगी, बल्कि लागत कम कर कपास की खेती को अधिक लाभदायक बनाने में सहायक सिद्ध होगी।

साथ ही, कपास का उत्पादन बढ़ाने के लिए हम ऐसी नई वैरायटी विकसित कर रहे हैं, जो रोग प्रतिरोधी हो और अधिक उत्पादन दे सके। प्रति एकड़ अधिक पौधे लगाने पर भी कार्य जारी है, ताकि किसान भाइयों की आय में वृद्धि हो।
