SRIJAN:Online Portal Launched to promote Indigenisation of Defence Production

◆On August 14, 2020, the Defence Minister Raj Nath Singh launched “SRIJAN”, an online portal to promote indigenization of Defence production.

◆The portal is to display those items that are currently being imported by Indian Defence Industry. This will help domestic industries of the country to learn and focus more on these specific items. The GoI is also providing high incentives and flagship programmes to boost the design, development and manufacturing of these items.

◆Hence, the portal will ultimately help the Indian Defence Industries benefit extensively by manufacturing these items. This will in turn reduce India’s Defence imports and will boost indigenization of Defence production.

◆The Defence Public Sector Units and the Ordnance Factory Board shall display items that are being imported on the portal.

Anti Drug Working Group BRICS

Why in News-Recently, the 4th Session of the BRICS Anti-Drug Working Group was held through a video conference.

◆The session was chaired by Russia this year.

◆Issues Raised by India: India raised the misuse of darknet and modern technology used for drug trafficking by the international criminals in the meeting.
◆It also called for nodal points to enable real-time information sharing among BRICS nations.
◆Trends of Drug Trafficking: The BRICS grouping discussed international and regional trends of illegal trafficking in narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances among others.
◆It also discussed steps to curb increased instances of drug trafficking through the maritime route.

A Global Menace:
●According to the report released in May 2020 by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime Report (UNODC), Covid-19 induced lockdowns and movement restrictions may lead to an initial statistical reduction in drug seizures, but is unlikely to have any effect on illicit drug supply.

India and Illicit Drug Trade:
●Major Hub of Illicit Drug Trade: According to UNODC, India is one of the major hubs of illicit drug trade ranging from age-old cannabis to newer prescription drugs like tramadol, and designer drugs like methamphetamine.
●Drug Trafficking Routes: India is in the middle of two major illicit opium production regions in the world, the Golden Crescent (Iran-Afghanistan-Pakistan) in the west and the Golden Triangle (South-East Asia) in the east.

Anti-Drug Action Plan:
◆India has also launched the Anti-Drug Action Plan for 2020-21 which includes:
•De-addiction Facilities,
•Drop-in-Centres for Addicts,
•Integrated Rehabilitation Centre for Addicts (IRCAs),
•Drug-Free India Campaign.

Darknet:
●It refers to the hidden internet platform used for narcotics sale, exchange of pornographic content and other illegal activities by using the secret alleys of the onion router (ToR- a free and open-source software for enabling anonymous communication) to stay away from the surveillance of law enforcement agencies.
●It is tough to crack because of its end-to-end encryption.
●The dark net is part of the deep web, which encompasses all unindexed sites that don't pop up when an Internet search is done.
●However, not all activities associated with the deep web are nefarious like darknet. In most cases, these pages are not searchable because they are password-protected and require authorization in order to access them.
●Personal email, online banking, and other similar sites are included under the umbrella of the deep web.
●The internet we see today is the only tip of the iceberg, the majority is deep web only.

Space bricks on the lunar surface

Why in the news-Recently a team of researchers from the Indian Space Research Organisation, ISRO and the Indian Institute of Science, IISc in Bengaluru has developed a sustainable process to make space bricks on the lunar surface.

◆These space bricks could be used to assemble structures for habitation on the moon surface in future.

◆The process enables making load-bearing bricks by using lunar soil, bacteria, and guar beans.

◆The process developed now uses urea sourced from human urine, which could be mixed with lunar soil to build structures on the moon.

◆The process developed now uses urea sourced from human urine, which could be mixed with lunar soil to build structures on the moon.

◆This decreases the overall expenditure considerably.

Help to reduce the Carbon footprint
●Since guar gum is used instead of cement, there will be a lower carbon footprint.
●The bacteria are added to further crystalise the brick in any shape needed.

Viability

●Sending bricks from Earth is not viable as it takes 7.5 lakh rupees to transport one pound of construction material.

Committee on ‘Minimum age of marriage for women’

Why in the news-Recently Prime Minister of India said that the central government has set up a committee to reconsider the minimum age of marriage for women during his address to the nation on the 74th Independence Day.

What is the committee that the Prime Minister mentioned in his speech?

◆The committee is headed by Jaya Jaitely (former Samata Party president); the committee includes Member Health at the NITI Aayog, Dr Vinod Paul, and several Secretaries to the Government of India.
◆The Committee or task force examine matters pertaining to the age of motherhood, imperatives of lowering Maternal Mortality Ratio and the improvement of nutritional levels among women.
◆The task force will examine the correlation of age of marriage and motherhood with health, medical well-being, and nutritional status of the mother and neonate, infant or child, during pregnancy, birth and thereafter.
◆They will look at key parameters like Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR), Total Fertility Rate (TFR), Sex Ratio at Birth (SRB) and Child Sex Ratio (CSR).
◆They will also examine the possibility of increasing the age of marriage for women from the present 18 years to 21 years.

Why is there a minimum age for marriage?
●The law prescribes a minimum age of marriage to essentially outlaw child marriages and prevent the abuse of minors.
●Personal laws of various religions that deal with marriage have their own standards, often reflecting custom.

In Hindu
●For Hindus, Section 5(iii) of The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, sets 18 years as the minimum age for the bride and 21 years as the minimum age for the groom. However, child marriages are not illegal — even though they can be declared void at the request of the minor in the marriage.

In Islam
●In Islam, the marriage of a minor who has attained puberty is considered valid.

In Common Law
●The Special Marriage Act, 1954 and the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 also prescribe 18 and 21 years as the minimum age of consent for marriage for women and men,
●Additionally, sexual intercourse with a minor is rape, and the ‘consent’ of a minor is regarded as invalid since she is deemed incapable of giving consent at that age.

Court’s View
●Last year, the Delhi High Court also sought the central government’s response in a plea that sought a uniform age for marriage for men and women.

Judgment Related to Equality          
●Two significant Supreme Court rulings can act as precedents to support the petitioner’s claim.
●In 2014, in the ‘National Legal Services Authority of India v Union of India’ case, the Supreme Court, while recognising transgenders as the third gender, said that justice is delivered with the “assumption that humans have equal value and should, therefore, be treated as equal, as well as by equal laws”.
●In 2019, in ‘Joseph Shine v Union of India’, the Supreme Court decriminalised adultery, and said that “a law that treats women differently based on gender stereotypes is an affront to women’s dignity”.
