The President has promulgated the Banking Regulation (Amendment) Ordinance, 2020, following the banks' commitment to ensure the interests of depositors.

The ordinance ensured the amendment of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, which is applicable to cooperative banks.

The ordinance aims to protect the interests of depositors and strengthen cooperative banks by ensuring better governance and monitoring. For this, co-operative banks will also be brought under the purview of rights already available with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in relation to other banks, to ensure a systematic banking regulation by adopting a professional approach, as well as their access to capital. Can also be made possible.

These amendments have not reduced the existing rights of state registrars of cooperative societies under state cooperative laws. These amendments do not apply to Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) or Co-operative Societies, whose primary objective and principal business is to provide long-term finance for agricultural development, and which refers to the term 'bank' or 'banker' or 'banking' And who do not act as drawee of checks.

Section 45 of the Banking Regulation Act has also been amended through the ordinance to plan restructuring or merger of a banking company to protect the interests of the general public, depositors and the banking system and to ensure proper management.

The central government has approved Rs 2,522.03 crore for the implementation of the Water Life Mission in Rajasthan in 2020-21.

With this year's central allocation and state share, a total of Rs 7,059.85 crore will be available to Rajasthan for the implementation of the Water Life Mission.

Rajasthan has prepared a plan to provide potable water to 57.77 lakh population of the state living in 5,864 villages affected by fluoride, salinity, nitrate and iron. The state plans to provide potable water to all 3,700 fluoride-affected settlements by December 2020.

Out of the total 1.1 crore rural households (households) in the state, 12.36 lakh families have already been provided with null connections (FHTC). In 2019-20, only 1.02 lakh tap connections were provided. In 2020-21, the state plans to provide tap water connections to 20.69 lakh households.

Center approved the action plan of Rajasthan for the implementation of the Water Life Mission (JJM)

The mission aims to provide 55 liters of potable water per person per day in every rural household of the country by 2024. JJM aims to improve the lives of rural people, especially women and girls, and to liberate them from hard work.

Researchers at the Central Salt and Marine Chemistry Research Institute (CSMCRI), Bhavnagar have developed a method for synthesizing agar-aldehyde from a polysaccharide compound derived from seaweed and then preparing solid silver nano composites based on it. Researchers say that this method can yield economical silver nano composites, which can be helpful in mounting anti-bacterial layers, building reactive materials, and developing anti-cancer treatments.

In this study a polymer called agar is obtained from seaweed and then converted into agar-aldehyde by a specific technique. Chemical compounds of carbon are called aldehydes.

The researchers said that agar-aldehyde can be converted into silver nano particles by adding silver chloride. This silver nano composite has been made by mixing both agar-aldehyde and silver nano particles.

Biological and abiotic tests have been conducted to assess the anti-cancer response of aldehyde silver composites. Silver nano particles have been found to be effective against three cancer cell lines in these tests. Biological tests conducted on mice have found these silver nano particles to be effective in controlling tumors. The researchers said that the amount of silver in the nano particles is about two percent, which is safe for humans.

The anti-submarine warfare capability of the Indian Navy was strengthened today with the inclusion of the advanced torpedo decoy system Marich with a contract in the fleet, capable of firing from all fronts of warships. This anti-torpedo decoy system is designed and developed in indigenous DRDO laboratories (NSTL and NPOL). Bharat Electronics Limited, a public sector defense undertaking, will undertake the production of this decoy system. The format (prototype) of this system was installed on a designated naval platform where it successfully completed all user evaluation tests and demonstrated its characteristics according to the qualifications required by the Navy
