eDNA
๐นDefination : refers to genetic material obtained directly from environmental samples (soil, water, air, etc.) without capturing the organisms.
-This DNA can come from skin cells, scales, feathers, feces, or any other biological material shed into the environment.
๐นApplications:
-Biodiversity Monitoring: eDNA is used to assess biodiversity in different habitats, especially aquatic environments.
-Species Detection: It helps in detecting the presence of specific species, including rare, endangered, or invasive species, in an ecosystem.
-Environmental Health Assessment: eDNA analysis can indicate the health and diversity of an ecosystem.

Bharat Small Reactors (BSRs)
These are a type of Small Modular Reactor (SMR) with a power capacity of up to 300 MW, designed to meet India's specific energy needs.
โ Policy Shift: A historic change in India's nuclear policy now includes private sector collaboration, previously barred under the Atomic Energy Act of 1962.
- Aligned with global trends in SMR technology, based on Indiaโs existing Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor technology.
Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor
- A type of nuclear reactor used for electricity generation.
โ Design & Technology: Second-generation nuclear reactor, known for high safety standards.
โ Uses unenriched natural uranium as fuel.
โ Uses heavy water (DโO) as both coolant & moderator.

๐ฅDifferent Types of farming - Most Important Article
๐ Carbon Farming
Carbon farming (also known as carbon sequestration) is a system of agricultural management that helps the land store more carbon and reduce the amount of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) that it releases into the atmosphere.
โซ๏ธZero Budget natural farming
Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) is a type of chemical-free farming where the total cost of growing and harvesting plants comes out to be zero .
๐ Mixed farming
Mixed farming is a type of farming which involves both the growing of crops and the raising of livestock.
โซ๏ธVertical Farming
- Vertical farming grows crops in vertical, stacked layers without putting too much impact on land and water resources
-In 1915, Gilbert Ellis Bailey coined the term vertical farming and he went on to write a namesake book.
- Aeroponics and hydroponics are Vertical farming systems.
๐ Hydroponics
-It is a method of growing plants in a water-based, nutrient-rich solution.
-In this, the root system is supported using an inert medium such as perlite, clay pellets, peat moss or vermiculite.
- Purpose is to provide access to oxygen which is essential for proper growth.
โซ๏ธAeroponics
- It is an environment-friendly way of farming in which the roots are suspended in the air and plants grow in a humid environment without soil.
- The roots of the plants, in this method, are sprayed with water and nutrient solution.
- This technique enables farmers to control humidity, temperature, pH levels and water conductivity inside a greenhouse.
๐ Aquaponics
-Aquaponics is a system that combines hydroponics and aquaculture within a closed system.
-There are three biological components in the aquaponics process: fishes, plants, and bacteria.
-The system represents a symbiotic relationship between the plants and the fishes; the fish feces is used as fertilizer for the plants, and the plants clean the water for the fish.
