2021-05-31 19:40:12 Six-Month CBID Program on Rehabilitation of Divyangjan

Union Minister has virtually launched a six-month Community Based Inclusive Development (CBID) Program on rehabilitation of PwD (Persons with Disabilities).

Program Aims:

◆ The program aims to create a pool of grassroots rehabilitation workers at the community level who can work alongside ASHA and Anganwadi workers to handle cross disability issues and facilitate the inclusion of persons with disabilities in society.

◆ It has been designed to impart competency-based knowledge and skills among these workers to enhance their ability to successfully discharge their duties.

◆ These workers will be calledDivyang Mitra’ i.e. friends of persons with disabilities.

Details:

◆ The Rehabilitation Council of India and the University of Melbourne (Australia) have been working on this program for the last two years.

◆ This is in the wake of an MoU signed between the governments of India and Australia in 2018 for cooperation in the disability sector.

◆ The course will be launched initially on a pilot basis for two batches in 7 National Institutes of the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities and 7-9 voluntary organisations having experience in Community Based Rehabilitation programme.

The National Board of Examination in Rehabilitation under the Rehabilitation Council of India will conduct examinations and award certificates to pass-out candidates.

◆ The program will be available in English and Hindi, along with 7 regional languages.

◆ International Museum Day was first held in 1977. The lead in celebrating this day is taken by the International Council of Museums (ICOM).

◆ The International Council of Museums is an international organisation of museums and museum professionals which is committed to the research, conservation, continuation and communication to society of the world’s natural and cultural heritage, present and future, tangible and intangible.

◆ It was formed in 1946 and maintains formal relations with UNESCO.

◆ Its secretariat is in Paris.

National Gallery of Modern Art

2021-05-31 13:14:01 Scientists developed magnetometer for low cost, reliable & real-time measurements of magnetic fields

What’s in News?

◆ Scientists from the Raman Research Institute (RRI), Bengaluru, have devised a more efficient, faster, and low-cost digital receiver system that can make precise measurements of magnetic fields.

RRI is an autonomous institute under the GOI’s Department of Science and Technology.

The new study is supported by the DST and the Ministry of Electronics and IT.

Background:

◆ Digital signals are the backbone of communication systems processed by hardware systems that transmit and receive the signals with the help of intermediate systems called ‘digital receiver systems’ or DRS.

◆ When magnetic matter creates signals, analysing them with DRS lets scientists study the magnetic fields.

◆ By analysing the properties of the signals, for example, how they vary with time, scientists can measure the fields and study their small fluctuations.

Significance:

◆ The researchers have demonstrated a low-cost digital system to efficiently measure unknown magnetic fields.

◆ They developed a digital receiver system using heated rubidium atoms.

◆ Having demonstrated the functioning of a digital receiver system to precisely measure atomic magnetic fields, the researchers are open to large-scale manufacturing or commercialisation of the device.

2021-05-31 13:13:01 MyGov Innovation Challenge

MyGov launches innovation challenge for creating Indian Language Learning App.

MyGov has launched the challenge in partnership with the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, GOI.

The challenge is to create an app that will enable individuals to learn simple sentences of any Indian language and acquire working knowledge of a language.

Challenge objective: to create an app that will promote regional language literacy, thereby creating greater cultural understanding within the country.

The key parameters for judging are: Graphical User Interface, UI/UX, ease of use, gamification features, simplicity, superior content, scalability, interoperability, etc.

The challenge is open to Indian individuals, start-ups and companies.

MyGov envisions the app to be multi-modular, with the capacity to teach through the written word, voice and video/visuals.

Upon evaluation of submission of prototypes, the top 10 teams will be invited to make presentations and top 3 will be selected by a jury. The top 3 will receive funding of INR 20, 10 and 5 lakhs to make the apps better.

2021-05-31 11:05:54 Ministry of Tribal Affairs and Microsoft signed MoU

The MoU was signed between the Ministry and Microsoft for the digital transformation of tribal schools, especially Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) and Ashram Schools, etc.

Under affirmative action initiative, Microsoft will make AI curriculum available to tribal students in both English and Hindi at all EMRS schools under the Ministry to skill educators and students in next-generation technologies including Artificial Intelligence.

The program is aiming at bridging the gap between tribal students and other students in this field.

Teachers across states in India will be trained in a phased manner for using productivity technologies like Office 365 and AI applications in teaching, helping them deliver blended or remote learning experiences to students in a more personalized, productive and secure manner.

Students will be mentored on projects that involve AI applications for societal good and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Students will also be trained and exposed to gamified environments on Minecraft to help build design thinking skills.

Microsoft will work with schools under the Ministry to accelerate digital transformation.

The schools will be provided with the technology, training and tools needed to transform them into Microsoft Showcase Schools.
