India is a very big country and so is our economy which manifests and bifurcates in numerous market domains, such as agriculture, manufacturing, retail, transport and logistics, IT, space exploration, education and training and so many others. 

Now, cutting short to Robotics and its engineering, this field has a great potential and unleashes benefits of a wide spectrum but then, this country also suffers a dearth of talent and skills which is a blow deathly enough to hold back our advance of progress.

Tech news updates in India are valuable knowledge.

Can BSc Data Science take over vanilla BTech/BE - Times of India

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/can-bsc-data-science-take-over-vanilla-btech-be-times-of-india/

Can BSc Data Science take over vanilla BTech/BE - Times of India

Time to move with the flow as an unprecedented growth will be seen in AI, Machine Learning, E-commerce, Blockchain technology while demand for vanilla engineering degrees will fade out With the heavy usage of Data Analytics and AI to build predictive models for corona patient and infection identification, data scientists will be in high demand in a post-covid world. While this might accelerate the demand for data science courses, the vanilla BE/BTech degrees would need a strong AI component with at least a minor specialisation to help solve real-world problems.

“Institutes must realise and embrace this change proactively and offer focussed courses on AI/ML at both UG and PG levels. There is also a need to carry out research in these fields in healthcare related topics and encourage entrepreneurship using AI/ML technologies,” says Ranjan Bose, director, IIT Delhi. He adds further, “The world is evolving at a phenomenal rate, and so is the demand for new areas in engineering. In the post-covid world, we expect to see unprecedented growth in the areas covered by AMOEBA: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Optical Communications, E-commerce, Blockchain technology and Autonomous Vehicles. This is going to drive industrial growth with a rising demand for engineering education in these domains.”

But then, even as AI, and data science continue to hold sway, there is a need to make each engineering stream industry-relevant, by infusing AI-related courses. “CSE, EE, AI and DataScience have been lucrative fields for the last few years (or decades), and this does not seem to go away soon. Ultimately, if each engineering field trains students on contemporary technologies used in the industry and more sectors of the industry are opened up locally, hopefully, all engineering fields will have good prospects in terms of career growth and remuneration,” says Vineeth N Balasubramanian, head, Department of Artificial Intelligence, IIT Hyderabad.

Way back in the 1980s, BE/BTech degrees in India were gateways to live the American dream, fuelled further by the growth of the IT and ITES industry. However, their demand started to plateau post 2008. “The IT and ITES firms continue to hire engineers due to lack of any other better option and invest substantially in training them to be data scientists and AI specialists,” says Sundar Raj Vijayanagar, board member of Vijaybhoomi University.

“But over the years, the need for AI-skilled engineers even before the pandemic has become imperative, which is why a student majoring in civil engineering and pursuing a minor in AI will be more in demand than a vanilla civil engineer. This is due to the wide application of AI in all fields to ensure optimised use of scarce and expensive resources,” Vijayanagar reasons.

Citing the Linkedin Emerging Jobs Report 2020, he states there are currently over 1.50 lakh positions open for a qualified data scientist in India alone. This number is expected to grow multi-fold in the coming few years. As per this report the top three emerging jobs of the future are AI specialist, robotic engineer and data scientist. A reason why, it is time to move with the flow.

Covid-19 Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati has been in the forefront in the fight to stop the spread of novel coronavirus and has been providing scientific support, extension of sophisticated instrument facilities as well as involved in the immediate development of life-saving equipment to Assam State and Guwahati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH). PCR machines to analysing 2000 samples in 24 hours

Since the initial days of this outbreak, IIT Guwahati has prepared hand sanitizers at its various departments and academic centres and is in the process of preparing at least 5000 sanitizer bottles and provide them to GMCH and Assam government. The Institute has provided two real-time PCR machines to GMCH for the diagnosis of Coronavirus. These machines would help in ramping the testing process by analysing 1000 samples if run for 12 hours continuously and 2000 samples in 24 hours. On the research front, multiple efforts are being made for vaccine development at the Department of Bioscience & Bioengineering. Various other departments are involved in developing multiple routes to have a diagnostic and therapeutic approach for the early detection of various viral infections. The faculty members of Bioscience & Bioengineering and Chemistry Departments and Center for Nanotechnology have also initiated research proposals to combat COVID-19 against the urgent calls of the Government of India. Robot-based drug/food carrying unit to work in isolation wards

The Departments of Mechanical Engg. and Electronics & Electrical Engg. are making efforts to develop several state-of-the-art technologies which include, robot-based drug/food carrying unit to work in isolation wards and robot-based screening units, large and high capacity autoclave machine, handheld temperature measuring units, hospital beds including ICU beds, ventilators, medical waste disposal in the isolation wards, shower for disinfection, WHO specified masks and hand sanitizers.

The Department of Design has developed a prototype 3D printed full face shield including head gear which can be scaled up immediately. Further, faculty members also have developed a PCR machine in-house which has been patented and is ready for commercialization whereas portable OFET sensors fabricated at the Institute could be integrated for COVID diagnosis. In addition, the Institute is also in the process of setting up an advanced research centre (BSL-III/IV laboratory) for COVID-19 analysis, which would help the entire Northeast region to test for COVID-19 and other dreadful virus detection and diagnosis. Talking about setting up a research centre for COVID-19 analysis, Prof. T. G. Sitharam, Director, IIT Guwahati, said, “Our idea is to make this a state-of-the-art facility for the entire Northeast region. This centre in future would help to develop highly competent manpower for diagnosis of different infectious diseases in the early stage of infection and thus its prevention too”. As there are no approved drugs presently for this disease, the faculty members are in the process of developing small molecules inhibitors for the treatment of COVID-19 using modern biotechnological tools. The overall idea is to develop safe, efficacious and affordable drugs for this disease and other dreadful viral infections. The Institute has been working tirelessly to educate the community at large on practicing social distancing and hygiene to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The institute hospital and Center for Nanotechnology have also initiated training of health center doctors and nurses and healthcare workers - for handling and necessary precautions to be followed during COVID-19 breakout on campus.

Yakshagana scripts to be digitised

      HEADLINES: Professionals join hands to digitise over 900 Yakshagana scripts       WHY IN NEWS: The content is made available online for free, thanks to the voluntary community effort by some Yakshagana lovers SYLLABUS COVERED: GS 1: Theater Forms: Folk Dances       LEARNING:  For PRELIMS understand the art form and try to picturise this in your brain . If possible watch a video and to remember he costume !       ISSUE:  More than 900 Yakshagana scripts, including the ones printed in 1905 and 1907, have now been digitised and made available online for free, thanks to the voluntary community effort by some Yakshagana lovers who did it under the banner Yakshavahini, a registered trust.  

On a song: A Yakshagana performance in progress at Jeppu in Mangaluru on Monday. Yakshagana is one of the most popular folk theatre forms of Karnataka. It is noted for its music, colourful costumes, vigorous dance movements, subtle expressions and extempore dialogues. Yakshagana has two main variations, each of which has many variations: Moodalapaya (the eastern form which is popular in north Karnataka) and Paduvalapaya (western style also known as coastal Yakshagana). Of the two, the coastal Yakshagana is more popular for the great sophistication that it has achieved over the years by the efforts of artistes, thinkers and researchers. Paduvalapaya is performed in three coastal districts of Karnataka‒Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada.  TRADITIONAL STAGE  Regardless of where the Yakshagana is performed, at the back of the stage there is always a raised bench or table on which two persons (bhagavata or the playback singer and maddalegara, the artist who plays the percussion instrument maddale) can sit. In the region with Mangalore at its centre (which includes Mangalore, Sullia, Puttur, Sampaaje, Bantwala, Belthangady, Karkala, Kasaragod (Kerala), Kodagu etc.) the tenkuthittu or the southern style is dominant       IASbhai WINDUP:  HALF DISAPPEARED It was estimated that Karnataka had about 8,000 Yakshagana scripts. Of them, half might have disappeared due to various reasons. The teamwork by about 100 professionals, including software engineers, has resulted in conservation of 934 scripts in the digital form in less than a year of launching the project. The number of digitised scripts is expected to touch 1,000 by March-end.

Scientists identify drug candidates against virus

      HEADLINES: Scientists identify drug candidates against virus       WHY IN NEWS: They investigated 26 of the SARS-CoV-2’s 29 genes, which direct production of the viral proteins SYLLABUS COVERED: GS 3:Diseases       LEARNING:  For PRELIMS the whole world is experimenting with drugs ! You should be aware of this latest update .       ISSUE:  Nearly 70 drugs and experimental compounds may be effective in treating the COVID-19 disease, a team of researchers reported on Sunday night.  

A researcher working on a vaccine against COVID-19 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Some of the medications are already used to treat other diseases, and repurposing them to treat COVID-19 may be faster than trying to invent a new anti-viral from scratch. To come up with the list, hundreds of researchers embarked on an unusual study of the genes of the coronavirus, also called SARS-CoV-2. To infect a lung cell, the virus must insert its genes, co-opting the cell’s own genetic machinery. The cell begins to produce viral proteins, which are used to produce millions of new viruses. Each of those viral proteins must be able to latch onto the necessary human proteins for the process to work. FINDING: In the new study, the scientists investigated 26 of the virus’s 29 genes, which direct production of the viral proteins. Researchers found 332 human proteins targeted by the virus. Some viral proteins seemed to target just one human protein; other viral proteins are capable of targeting a dozen human cellular proteins. Researchers sought drugs that also latch onto the human proteins that the virus seems to need to enter and replicate in human cells. Intriguingly, some of the possible treatments are drugs used to attack parasites. And the list includes antibiotics that kill bacteria by gumming up the cellular machinery they use to build proteins. But some of those drugs also attach to human proteins. The new study raises the possibility that this side effect might turn out to be an anti-viral treatment. One drug on the list: CHLOROQUINE: kills the single-celled parasite that causes malaria. Scientists have long known that it can also attach to a human cellular protein called the sigma-1 receptor. And that receptor is also the target of the virus.       IASbhai WINDUP:  The World Health Organization announced it would begin a trial on chloroquine, among other drugs.      SOURCES:THE HINDU/DAILY CURRENT AFFAIRS for UPSC CSE Prelims & Mains

Promising tech startups get grants worth Rupees 6 crore

By Jyoti Singh

New Delhi, July 18: Sixteen promising startups and 20 teams of university students have been given grants totaling Rupees six crore by the India Innovation Growth Programme (IIGP) – a joint initiative of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Lockheed Martin and Tata Trusts.

The winners were chosen from over 2400 applicants who presented innovations that aim to bring large scale social impact and industrial transformation in the country. Each startup awardee gets a grant of Rs 25 lakh, while university teams get Rs 10 lakh each to further develop and mature technology solutions proposed by them.

“We have thoroughly planned how to go ahead from start-up to scale up. If company partners with a startup, then DST will also partner with it and extend a matching grant to help it scale up,” announced DST secretary Prof. Ashutosh Sharma while speaking at India Innovation Growth Program 2.0 award function.

Prof Sharma urged that the number of participants participating this year should be doubled next year. The government is coming up with startup centres worth Rs 150 crore each to help startups access resources, especially hardware. Three centres will be launched this year and the number of such centres will be scaled up gradually to 20.

The innovation award scheme is being implemented by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), Indo-US Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF), Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE) at IIM Ahmedabad and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.
