88. NEED FOR DEEP WEB

♤ With news of intelligence agencies’ surveillance practices, it has become crucial to keep critical and important documents private.

♤ It can also be the solution for research of sensitive topics, facilitator for hidden military communication and safe submission of sensitive documents to governments, police etc.

♤ The journalist community should make maximum use of the Deep Web because it is safer than any other privacy measure.

♤ But, before using Deep Web frequently, a good cyber security infrastructure has to be put in place.

♤ Deep Web exists in order to provide incredible services to people and organisations that require anonymity to release information or communicate without fear.

Achievements of Indians in science & technology

RTS,S /Mosquirix

♤ This is a new Malaria vaccine , created by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc).

♤ It contains live malaria sporozoites (an immature stage of the parasite Plasmodium berghei) with an important genetic modification.

♤ The vaccine targets the pathogen as it enters the liver, the first destination in the host.

♤ RTS,S will be exclusively used against the Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasite, which is most prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

First indigenous rotavirus vaccine

♤ Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe diarrhea among infants and young children. It is a double- stranded RNA virus.

♤ Diarrhea caused by rotavirus kills nearly 80 thousand children each year, results in up to 10 lakh hospitalizations, pushing many Indian families below the poverty line. It also imposes an economic burden of over 300 crore rupees each year to the country.

♤ India has developed and licensed its first indigenous rotavirus vaccine, developed under a public- private partnership by the Ministry of Science and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. India will introduce this vaccine in a phased manner.
