National
I-Lab for COVID testing
India’s first I-Lab (Infectious disease
diagnostic lab) for COVID testing in
rural and inaccessible areas of India
was inaugurated by the Minister for
Science & Technology, Earth Sciences
and Health & Family Welfare, Dr Harsh
Vardhan on 19 June 2020.
The I-lab can run 50 RT-PCR and
about 200 ELISA tests in a day. This
mobile testing facility will be deployed
through the DBT (Department of Bio
Technology) testing hubs to remote
regions of the country for COVID test-
ing.
The Department of Bio-technology
(DBT) under the Ministry of Science and
Technology, along with the Andhra
Pradesh Med-tech Zone (AMTZ), initiat-
ed the DBT-AMTZ COMManD (COVID-
19 Medtech Manufacturing
Development) consortia to address the
shortage of critical healthcare technolo-
gies in the country and move progres-
sively towards a stage of self-sufficien-
cy.
Coal blocks for commercial
mining
On 18 June 2020, the Prime Minister of
India Narendra Modi launched the auc-
tion of 41 coal mines for commercial
mining. The decision took as part of the
announcements made by the Central
government under the Aatma Nirbhar
Bharat Abhiyan. By this, the government
opened the coal and mining sector for
competition, capital, participation tech-
nology. He criticized the earlier govern-
ment policies to keep the coal sector
closed. PM pointed out the irony that
India has the fourth largest coal reserve
in the world, is the second largest pro-
ducer in the world but is also the second
largest coal importer. The government
of India set a target to gasify around 100
million tonnes of coal by 2030.
9th rank in FDIE
India became the world’s 9th largest
recipient of the Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) in 2019 with 51 billion
dollars of inflows, as per the World
Investment Report 2020 published by
the UN Conference on Trade and
Development (UNCTAD). India
received $ 42 billion of FDI in 2018
when India ranked 12 among the top
20 host economies in the world. But
the report hoped a lower but positive
economic growth in India in the post-
COVID19 pandemic period.
Garib Kalyan Rojgar
Abhiyaan
On 20 June 2020, Prime Minister
Narendra Modi launched the Garib
Kalyan Rojgar Abhiyaan (GKRA).
This programme creates jobs for mil-
lions of migrant workers who returned
home during the coronavirus induced
lockdown across the country.
Rs. 50,000 crore will be spent on this
mega campaign and the scheme cov-
ers 116 districts in the 6 states of Bihar,
Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,
Rajasthan, Jharkhand and Odisha.
Each of these states has a large
number of labourers returning home
after being left unemployed by the
coronavirus lockdown. GKRA create a
durable infrastructure along with boost-
ing employment opportunities.
Lying of fibre optics cable, railway
works, Rurban mission jobs, sanitation
works, waste management, poultry,
farm ponds and training through Krishi
Vigyan Kendras will be given to the
migrant workers under the programme.
First National Report on
Climate Crisis
India released its national report on
the state of the climate crisis first time.
The report by the name ‘Assessment
Of Climate Change Over The Indian
Region’ prepared under the aegis of
Ministry of Earth Science (MoES). The
report forecasted that annual rainfall
increase along with more severe
cyclones and paradoxically more
droughts.
The average temperature of India
raised by 0.7 degree Celsius in 1901-
2018. This has resulted due to the emis-
sion of greenhouse gases, and it is pro-
jected to rise by 2.7 degree Celsius by
2099 in case of if essential care is taken
on climate change and in the worst case
it will rise to 4.4 degree Celsius.
In the Indian region, the April-June
heatwaves will become four times
more frequent by 2099.

(DDS), the NGO (non-governmental
organization) having a base at
Hyderabad.
The award will be given to organ-
isations with a deep commitment to
preserving the planet. The award
was conferred in recognition for the
work of Deccan Development
Society women to rehabilitate
degraded lands and promote biodi-
versity.
DDS organized a network of
small and marginal farmers and
helps them in growing millets in the
rain-fed areas of Telangana. The
women run seed-banks, protecting
biodiversity.
The organization also helps in
providing market linkages by con-
necting them with the urban con-
sumer and bulk buyers of millets.

ZestMoney and Stellapps, the two
Indian firms found a place the new
list of 100 Tech Pioneers released
by the World Economic Forum
(WEF), which described these enti-
ties as future headline-makers
addressing global issues with cut-
ting-edge technology.
The selected companies think dif-
ferently and stand out as potential
game-changers. The WEF said that
ZestMoney, using its technology to
transform the financial service
industry, offering affordable credit to
those who are unable to access this
through traditional finance paths.

World Refugee day
World Refugee Day observed on
20 June every year dedicated to
raising awareness of the situation of
refugees throughout the world. The
day honours the courage and deter-
mination of those who have been
forced to abandon their homes and
flee.
The theme of World Refugee Day
this year is "every action counts".
The UNO Refugee Agency is ask-
ing people from all walks of life to
join the #WithRefugees with a mes-
sage that everyone can make a dif-
ference, and every action counts.
The people who fled their homes
and countries due to a well-founded
fear of persecution because of
his/her race, religion, nationality,
membership of a particular social
group, or political opinion is a
refugee.
International
International Yoga Day
celebrations
6th International Day of Yoga celebra-
tions celebrated throughout the world
on 21st June. The celebrations com-
menced with a message from Prime
Minister Narendra Modi who said that
Yoga brings people together and gives
a message of universal brotherhood.
The Theme of Yoga Day 2020 is
‘Yoga at home, Yoga with family’. Yoga
gives physical strength; mental balance
and emotional stability to confidently
face the challenges occur in day to day
life. The World Health Organization
(WHO) mentions yoga as a means to
improve health in its Global Action Plan
on Physical Activity 2018–2030: More
active people for a healthier world.
Earlier, the observation of
International Day of Yoga marked by
mass demonstrations of Yoga in public
places. But this year, due to the
COVID-19 outbreak, the main focus is
on encouraging people to do Yoga at
their homes with the participation of the
entire family.

IMD ranking
India retained 43rd rank in the annual
World Competitiveness Index compiled
by Institute for Management
Development (IMD). Singapore retained
its top position on the 63-nation list.
Denmark and Switzerland stood in the
2nd and 3rd ranking respectively.
Singapore’s success lies in its
strong economic performance which
stems from robust international trade
and investment, employment and labor
market measures. India’s rank is low
due to traditional weaknesses like poor
infrastructure and insufficient educa-
tion investment keeping.
But IMD report hailed the perfor-
mance of India shown some recorded
improvements in areas like long-term
employment growth, current account
balance, high-tech exports, foreign
currency reserves, public expenditure
on education, political stability and
overall productivity.
Report on Children Violence
On 18 June 2020, the United Nations
Orgnisation(UNO) released a first of its
kind report “Global Status Report on
Preventing Violence Against Children
2020”. The report observed that half of
the world’s children, or approximately
one billion children each year are
affected by physical, sexual or psycho-
logical violence, suffering injuries, dis-
abilities and death because countries
have failed to follow established strate-
gies to protect them.
It charted progress in 155 countries
against the “INSPIRE” framework, a
set of seven strategies for preventing
and responding to violence against
children.
The report estimated that one out of
two children aged 2–17 years suffer
some form of violence each year.
Around 40,000 children were victims of
homicide in 2017.
The report also said that 300 million
children aged 2–4 years regularly
experience violent discipline by their
caregivers.

National
I-Lab for COVID testing
India’s first I-Lab (Infectious disease
diagnostic lab) for COVID testing in
rural and inaccessible areas of India
was inaugurated by the Minister for
Science & Technology, Earth Sciences
and Health & Family Welfare, Dr Harsh
Vardhan on 19 June 2020.
The I-lab can run 50 RT-PCR and
about 200 ELISA tests in a day. This
mobile testing facility will be deployed
through the DBT (Department of Bio
Technology) testing hubs to remote
regions of the country for COVID test-
ing.
The Department of Bio-technology
(DBT) under the Ministry of Science and
Technology, along with the Andhra
Pradesh Med-tech Zone (AMTZ), initiat-
ed the DBT-AMTZ COMManD (COVID-
19 Medtech Manufacturing
Development) consortia to address the
shortage of critical healthcare technolo-
gies in the country and move progres-
sively towards a stage of self-sufficien-

mining. The decision took as part of the
announcements made by the Central
government under the Aatma Nirbhar
Bharat Abhiyan. By this, the govern-
ment opened the coal and mining sector
for competition, capital, participation
technology. He criticized the earlier gov-
ernment policies to keep the coal sector
closed. PM pointed out the irony that
India has the fourth largest coal reserve
in the world, is the second largest pro-
ducer in the world but is also the second
largest coal importer. The government
of India set a target to gasify around 100
million tonnes of coal by 2030.

First National Report on
Climate Crisis
India released its national report on
the state of the climate crisis first time.
The report by the name ‘Assessment
Of Climate Change Over The Indian
Region’ prepared under the aegis of

report forecasted that annual rainfall
increase along with more severe
cyclones and paradoxically more
droughts.
The average temperature of India
raised by 0.7 degree Celsius in 1901-
2018. This has resulted due to the emis-
sion of greenhouse gases, and it is pro-
jected to rise by 2.7 degree Celsius by
2099 in case of if essential care is taken
on climate change and in the worst case
it will rise to 4.4 degree Celsius.
In the Indian region, the April-June
heatwaves will become four times

World Competitiveness Index compiled
by Institute for Management
Development (IMD). Singapore retained
its top position on the 63-nation list.
Denmark and Switzerland stood in the
2nd and 3rd ranking respectively.

and investment, employment and labor
market measures. India’s rank is low
due to traditional weaknesses like poor
infrastructure and insufficient educa-
tion investment keeping.

mance of India shown some recorded
improvements in areas like long-term
employment growth, current account
balance, high-tech exports, foreign
currency reserves, public expenditure

set of seven strategies for preventing
and responding to violence against
children.
