Embrace Wellness with Organic Millets

Embrace Wellness with Organic Millets

(Review of BlissGrain Harmony: https://blissgrainharmony.in/)

Welcome to Bliss Grain Harmony — where tradition meets health. Our organic millet products—whether it’s jowar toast, bajra chivda, millet cookies, or multigrain blends—are not just delicious; they’re packed with powerful nutrition that supports your body from the inside out.

Nutritional Benefits of Organic Millets 

• High in Dietary Fiber & Gut Health: Millets are rich in both soluble and insoluble fiber, helping regulate digestion, support beneficial gut bacteria, and reduce risks of colorectal and digestive disorders.
• Low Glycemic Index & Blood Sugar Management: The slow-digesting carbohydrates and fiber in millets slow down glucose release. This makes millet-based foods suitable for people managing diabetes or insulin resistance.
• Rich in Essential Minerals & Micronutrients: Millets contain iron, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and B-vitamins (niacin, folate, thiamine). For example, finger millet is exceptionally high in calcium.

Summer Training in Scientific Institutes in India

(Dr. Prashant B Kale)

Definition:

Summer training programs in scientific institutes in India provide undergraduate and postgraduate students with hands-on experience in research. These programs introduce students to laboratory techniques, scientific methodologies, and ongoing research projects, helping them develop critical thinking and technical skills.

Opportunities in India:

Several premier institutes in India offer summer research fellowships and training programs, such as:

1. Indian Academy of Sciences (IAS) Summer Research Fellowship – For undergraduate and postgraduate students to work under renowned scientists.
2. Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) Summer Research Fellowship – Offers training in biology, chemistry, and physics.
3. Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) Summer Internship – Open to students from science and engineering backgrounds.
4. Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) Laboratories – Various CSIR labs (NCL, NIO, NBRI, etc.) offer summer training programs.
5. Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Summer Research Program – Offers research experience in different science and engineering disciplines.
6. National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) Summer Training – Focuses on biological research.
7. BARC Summer Training Program – Focuses on nuclear science and engineering research.
8. Regional Agricultural Universities and ICAR Institutes – Offer summer internships in biotechnology, genetics, and agricultural research.

Scope and Importance of Summer Training in Scientific Institutes:

• Enhances practical knowledge and laboratory skills.

Plants as Factories: Revolutionizing Human Requirements through Molecular Farming

Plants as Factories: Revolutionizing Human Requirements through Molecular Farming

Introduction

The idea of using plants as biological factories to produce essential human requirements is no longer a distant dream. With advances in molecular farming,

genetically engineered plants are now capable of producing proteins, enzymes, and other biomolecules that were previously sourced from animals or industrial processes. This breakthrough has opened up possibilities for sustainable food production, pharmaceuticals, and bio-materials, promising a future where agriculture and biotechnology converge to meet human needs efficiently and ethically.

The Science Behind Molecular Farming

Molecular farming involves the genetic modification of plants to produce substances they do not naturally synthesize. Unlike traditional genetic modification, which focuses on improving traits such as drought resistance or yield, molecular farming transforms plants into bio-factories for producing specific proteins, growth factors, vaccines, and more. By inserting desired genes into plant genomes, scientists can cultivate crops that express valuable biomolecules, reducing dependence on conventional production methods.

Success Stories in Molecular Farming

1. Dairy Proteins from Potatoes

Israeli startup Finally Foods has successfully engineered potatoes to produce casein, a primary protein in cow’s milk.

 कृष्णा फळ (पॅशन फ्रूट) - सविस्तर लेख 

(प्रशांत काळे,  श्रीराम मिरजकर)

**कृष्णा फळ (पॅशन फ्रूट): पोषणमूल्यांचा खजिना**  

कृष्णा फळ, आपल्या अनोख्या चवीनं आणि समृद्ध पोषणमूल्यांमुळे, संपूर्ण जगभरात लोकप्रिय होत आहे. हे फळ केवळ स्वादिष्ट नसून आरोग्यासाठीही अत्यंत लाभदायक आहे. उष्णकटिबंधीय प्रदेशात नैसर्गिकरित्या वाढणाऱ्या या फळाची लागवड आता व्यावसायिक स्तरावर मोठ्या प्रमाणात केली जाते. यामध्ये जीवनसत्त्वे, खनिजे, अँटिऑक्सिडंट्स मुबलक प्रमाणात आढळतात, त्यामुळे हे फळ हृदयसंबंधी विकार, मधुमेह आणि रोगप्रतिकारशक्ती वाढवण्यासाठी उपयुक्त ठरते. या लेखात आपण कृष्णा फळाची उत्पत्ती, विविधता, लागवडीच्या आधुनिक तंत्रज्ञानापासून ते बाजारपेठेतील मागणीपर्यंत सविस्तर माहिती जाणून घेणार आहोत.

१. उत्पत्ती केंद्र (Centre of Origin)

कृष्णा फळ (Passion Fruit) हे मूळचे दक्षिण अमेरिकेतील ब्राझील, पराग्वे आणि अर्जेंटिना या प्रदेशातील आहे. या ठिकाणी नैसर्गिकरित्या मोठ्या प्रमाणावर त्याची लागवड आढळते.
