No Indian working in India has won a science Nobel in 94 years
why?
It has been 94 years since an Indian working in India won the Nobel Prize in Science.
The Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to C.V. Raman in 1930 is the only Nobel Prize in the sciences awarded to an Indian working in India.
While other Indian-origin scientists have received Nobel Prizes, but they did not work in India and were not Indian citizens when they received the Nobel Prize in Science.

key reasons that contribute to this phenomenon.
The impact of colonial rule on India's educational and scientific infrastructure has had long-lasting effects.
During the colonial period, scientific research was often underfunded and lacked institutional support, which hindered the development of a robust scientific community.
After gaining independence in 1947, India faced numerous challenges, including economic constraints, political instability, and a focus on immediate developmental needs, which often overshadowed investments in scientific research.
Compared to developed countries, India allocates a relatively small percentage of its GDP to research and development (R&D).
This limited funding affects the ability of scientists to conduct high-quality research and pursue innovative projects.
Many Indian research institutions face infrastructural challenges, including outdated facilities, lack of access to advanced technology, and insufficient resources for conducting cutting-edge research

A significant number of Indian scientists and researchers pursue opportunities abroad, particularly in the United States and Europe, where they have access to better funding, resources, and collaborative opportunities.
This brain drain results in a loss of talent that could contribute to scientific advancements within India.
Many Indian scientists who have made significant contributions to their fields have done so while working in foreign institutions, which may lead to their recognition and awards, including Nobel Prizes, rather than being acknowledged for work conducted in India.
The focus of scientific research in India has often been on applied sciences and immediate societal needs, such as agriculture, health, and technology, rather than on fundamental research that could lead to groundbreaking discoveries recognized by the Nobel Committee.

Modern scientific research is increasingly collaborative and interdisciplinary.
Indian scientists may not always be part of the global networks that lead to high-profile discoveries, which can affect their visibility and recognition.
The Nobel Prize selection process is subjective and influenced by various factors, including the prevailing scientific trends and the interests of the Nobel committees.
This can lead to certain fields or types of research being favored over others, impacting the chances of recognition for Indian scientists.

⚡️India declared Trachoma free by WHO
Trachoma is the leading infectious cause of blindness worldwide. It is caused by an obligate intracellular bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis. The infection is transmitted by direct or indirect transfer of eye and nose discharges of infected people, particularly young children who harbour the principal reservoir of infection. These discharges can be spread by particular species of flies

Roopkund lake
Why in the news:
Uttarakhand's Roopkund lake, known as the "lake of skeletons" is experiencing adverse impacts due to climate change
Recent Research Findings:
🌟A study conducted in 2019 by scientists from India, the US, and Germany questioned the longstanding belief that the skeletons belonged to a single group who died in one event.
🌟 Instead, the research suggested that the remains are from genetically diverse individuals who perished over a period of up to 1,000 years
