Damaging Effects of Climate Change on Tea Production to Hamper Market Growth
The green tea market growth is expected to major hurdles created by the adverse effects of climate change and global warming. According to research conducted by Tufts University and the Montana State University in 2016, changing rainfall patterns across Northeast India and Southern China, two of the largest tea-producing regions in the world, are likely to decrease yields from tea farms. A survey conducted by researchers from these universities in Assam showed that tea farmers in the state are getting increasingly concerned about the shorter growing season for tea, which will inevitably affect the quality of the final product.

GUWAHATI: AgSpert an agri-tech start-up co-founded by students of Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IIT-G) and the alumni of NIT Silchar and Dibrugarh University has developed AgSpeak, a multi-lingual smartphone application for farmers.
Developed with the goal of optimising the in-farm productivity through artificial intelligence (AI), the application will help farmers making decisions and managing farm activities by the click of a single button on their smartphone or computer, IIT-G said in a statement on Tuesday.
Driven by hyper local crop data from satellite and smart IoT devices, AgSpeak considers up to 20 local crop parameters, which are key indicators of their health such as temperature, rainfall, sunlight hours, soil health status, among others, to alert farmers about probable crop threats in advance and suggest best practices to tackle the incoming threat, which would, in turn, help optimise resources used and maximise productivity.

Justices M. Sathyanarayanan and P. Rajamanickam dismissed the case at the admission stage without issuing notices to the government and the Vice-Chancellor. They said the prayer was highly misconceived and the petitioner had not substantiated his case.
In his affidavit, the activist said Mr. Surappa had served as the Director of the Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar, for six years between 2009 and 2015 and as the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science during 2016-17. Claiming that both these posts were equivalent to the post of a Vice-Chancellor, he said UGC regulations do not permit an individual to hold a post equivalent to that of

Targeted actions are needed to address immunisation gaps, especially for vulnerable populations. While digital technology may play a role in mitigating such disparities, their use poses challenges, especially in developing countries. This paper explores the Tika Vaani ( vaccine voice ) intervention, which sought to improve immunisation uptake in rural Uttar Pradesh, India by combining an mHealth strategy with a face-to-face component to educate and empower an economically poor, low-literate population. Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) mHealth Technical Evidence Review Group s mHealth evidence reporting and assessment (mERA) checklist, the research team here outlines the process of devel
