    Abstract The burning of an agro waste residue causes air pollution, global warming and lethal effects. To overcome these obstacles, the transformation of agro waste into nanoparticles (NPs) reduces industrial expenses and amplifies environmental sustainability. The concept of green nanotechnology is considered as a versatile tool for the development of valuable products. Although a plethora of literature on the NPs is available, but, still scientists are exploring to design more novel particles possessing unique shape and properties. So, this review basically summarises about the synthesis, characterizations, advantages and outcomes of the various agro waste derived NPs.

    Abstract The imposition of the Three Farm Laws by the union government of India in 2020 was intended to further corporate encroachment in agriculture. However, this resulted in an unprecedented resistance movement of farmers and workers. The union government of India eventually had to retreat, and the Three Farm Laws were repealed in 2021. In this article, we intend to briefly review with special reference to Punjab, the historical context of corporate encroachment into Indian agriculture, the unfolding of the resistance to this corporate encroachment, and a prognosis on the political economy of the neoliberal project in India.

    Abstract The present research was designed to determine the nutritive value of the liver and intestine of fish, Sperata seenghala, the impact of effluence load on limnological parameters of water and proximate composition of fish organs, especially on fatty acids, liver enzymatic activities, seasonal variations in the nutritional profile of fish, and to check and compare the pollution status of Ramsar sites in Punjab by calculating the water quality index, heavy metal pollution index, and metal index from June 2018 to August 2020. WQI of Harike wetland was found to be 53.95, which depicts that water quality in this region is "poor". At Nangal wetland, water quality index was reported to be "excellent" quality water and fit for the whole ecological unit. Overall heavy metal pollution index for Harike wetland was reported 174.569, whereas for Nangal wetland it was 5.994, depicting massive contaminant loads in a polluted region. MI value was also recorded as being higher (6.9336) in polluted habitat than in control habitat (0.8175). In fish liver, significant (p < 0.05) higher mean total lipids (6.73%), total proteins (3.98%), moisture (77.69%), ash (3.56%), and carbohydrates (3.79%) were observed in the samples from Nangal wetland than Harike wetland. A similar trend was reported in all biochemical contents of the fish intestine. Enzyme activities such as aspartate-aminotransferase and alanine-aminotransferase were significantly elevated (p < 0.05) in the specimens collected from the polluted region. The mean total n-3 (except in spring), n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (except in winter), and average monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids diminished significantly (p < 0.05) in the liver of fish from contaminated habitat than control site. In the intestine of fish collected from the polluted region, significant reductions in the mean total n-3 (except in autumn as well as summer), total n-6 PUFAs (in autumn and winter), and total SFAs were reported than control site.

    Abstract In the state of Punjab, the heart of the green revolution in India, a large fraction of agricultural labour is expended by migrant workers. The unplanned lockdown imposed by the Indian government affected paddy transplantation, a labour-intensive activity in Punjab primarily due to interstate restrictions on movement.

    Abstract Acid attacks involve dousing a victim with a concentrated acidic or caustic fluid. The head and face are most often targeted to maximize the chances of disfigurement, as the intention is usually to cause life-long disability, pain and lack of psychological wellbeing rather than death. In India it is often regarded as a form of gender-based violence aimed predominantly at women, frequently following the rejection of a proposed sexual relationship, however, a significant subset of cases involve males. Four cases are reported to demonstrate the different reasons for such attacks in males including revenge for reporting criminal activity, intra-familial disputes and apparently random episodes. Male acid attack victims may represent an over-looked subgroup that often does not receive adequate compensation or government support to access disability services, despite this being mandated by recent legislation.

    Abstract The present study was carried out to enhance the phytonutritional profile and bio-functional properties of pasta by utilizing variety bell pepper i.e., green, red and yellow powders at varying levels (5, 10, and 15%). Based on preliminary sensory trials and cooking quality performances, 10% incorporation levels were selected for the product development. Addition of bell pepper powders significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced crude fibre (1.48–3.34 g/100 g), total phenols (69.11 to 142.37 mg GAE/100 g), carotenoids (2.68 to 71.42 mg/100 g) and antioxidant activity (3.96 to 4.85 µmol TE/100 g). Starch and protein digestibility (in vitro) significantly (p < 0.05) decreased due to the effect of fibre and bioactive compounds. Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra showed the presence of higher levels of phytochemicals in the resultant pasta compared to control. Shelf stability studies (at 25 ºC/60% RH) in two packaging materials revealed a significant increase in moisture during storage. Approximately, 77–81% total phenols, 77–82% total carotenoids, 78–84% total flavonoids, and 79–84% antioxidant activity was found retained in enriched pasta at the end of three months of storage. The variety bell pepper pasta was highly acceptable throughout storage with minor changes in sensory characteristics.

    Abstract Post-independence, we made significant strides in childhood survival. However, there is an abysmal improvement in survival due to birth defects. Globally, India contributes the largest proportion of under-5 deaths, overall as well as due to birth defects. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the single most common cause of birth-defect related deaths, and is the 7th most common cause of infant deaths. Scarcity of pediatric cardiac care professionals and pediatric cardiac centers has led to a huge demand-supply gap. Understanding the burden of CHD and taking imperative steps at primary, secondary and tertiary levels are essential during Amrit Kaal (2022-2047). Coverage of management of CHD under Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram, Rashtriya Bal Suraksha Karyakram and Ayushman Bharat programs offers a huge promise, as shown by the experience from Hridayam program in Kerala.
