According to a recent report by the UN Global E-Waste Monitor Report, India ranks third globally in terms of e-waste production, with only China and the United States ahead of it. In the year 2021-22, there was a substantial increase in the amount of electronic waste (e-waste) in India, reaching a total of 1.6 million tonnes. Among these, 65 cities within India contributed to over 60% of the overall e-waste production, while 10 states were responsible for 70% of the total e-waste generated.   This situation appears deeply concerning. The excessive generation of electronic waste (e-waste) has the potential to profoundly impact human lives. We are living in the age of technology and as a result- a multitude of technical and electronic items are produced. With the passage of time, these items tend to break down and become outdated. Moreover, technology is advancing rapidly, causing items to become obsolete quickly. Consequently, these items that are no longer useful are often ...

Biotechnology is the fusion of biology and technology where biological systems, living organisms or their components to engineer and produce a wide range of products. #Biotechnology in various forms has existed for thousands of years, although the modern field of biotechnology as we know it today has developed over the last century or so. From the ancient time, humans have been using fermentation to produce food and beverages like bread, beer, cheese and making different types of ointments and medicines. This process involves the use of microorganisms to convert sugars into other substances. In the mid-20th century, there has been seen the fast development of techniques like DNA sequencing and the discovery of the structure of #DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. These discoveries laid the groundwork for modern biotechnology. The Human Genome Project, completed in 2003, marked a major milestone in the study of genomics. It provided a complete map of the human genome, opening...
