GKTODAYJOBALERT.COM Bharat Ratna Awards Winners GKTODAYJOBALERT.COM Bharat Ratna Awards Winners The Bharat Ratna is the highest civilian award of the Republic of India. Instituted in 1954, the award is conferred “in recognition of exceptional service/performance of the highest order”, without distinction of race, occupation, position, or sex. The award was originally limited to achievements in the arts, literature, science, and public services, but the government expanded the criteria to include “any field of human endeavour” in December 2011. The recommendations for the Bharat Ratna are made by the Prime Minister to the President, with a maximum of three nominees being awarded per year. Recipients receive a Sanad (certificate) signed by the President and a peepal-leaf–shaped medallion; there is no monetary grant associated with the award. Bharat Ratna recipients rank seventh in the Indian order of precedence. The first recipients of the Bharat Ratna were politician C. Rajagopalachari, philosopher Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, and scientist C. V. Raman, who were honoured in 1954. Since then, the award has been bestowed on 48 individuals, including 14 who were awarded posthumously. The original statutes did not provide for posthumous awards but were amended in January 1955 to permit them. The former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri became the first individual to be honoured posthumously. In 2014, cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, then aged 40, became the youngest recipient; while social reformer Dhondo Keshav Karve was awarded on his 100th birthday. Though usually conferred on India-born citizens, the Bharat Ratna has been awarded to one naturalised citizen, Mother Teresa, and to two non-Indians, Pakistan national Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan and former South African President Nelson Mandela. On 24 December 2014, the Indian government announced the award to independence activist Madan Mohan Malaviya (posthumously) and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Also Read: 1.

  • Comparison of the Genome Sequences and the Phylogenetic Analyses of the GP78 and the Vellore P20778 Isolates of Japanese Encephalitis Virus from India
    Comparison of the genome sequences and the phylogenetic analyses of the GP78 and the Vellore P20778 isolates of Japanese encephalitis virus from India SUDHANSHU VRATI Virology Laboratory, National Institute of Immunology, Aruna Asaf Ali Marg, JNU Complex, New Delhi 110 067, India (Fax, 91-11-6162125; Email, [email protected]) The nucleotide sequence of the complete genomes of two Indian isolates of Japanese encephalitis virus were compared. One of these isolates, GP78 was obtained from northern India in 1978. The other, the Vellore P20778 isolate, was obtained from southern India in 1958. There was 4×40% nucleotide sequence divergence be- tween the two Indian isolates that resulted in a 1×86% amino acid sequence divergence. Phylogenetic analyses showed that in evolutionary terms the north Indian GP78 isolate was close to the SA14 isolate from China whereas the south Indian Vellore P20778 isolate was close to the Beijing-1 isolate, also from China. The two Indian isolates, however, appear to have evolved independently. 1. Introduction western parts of the country and a number of epidemics have been reported in recent years from these areas Japanese encephalitis (JE) is an acute viral infection of (Sharma and Panwar 1991; Sharma et al 1991; Prasad the central nervous system which is caused by a mosquito- et al 1993; Kar and Saxena 1998).

  • Why Does One Not 'Walk'?
    Aum Sri Sai Ram Why does one not ‘walk’? Virendra Sehwag slashes hard and Taufiq Umar spills the offering at the slips. Mistake : By the Fielder. Beneficiary: Batsman. Sachin Tendulkar caught bat-pad but appeal turned down. Mistake: By the Umpire. Beneficiary: Batsman. These two seemingly different scenarios have more similarities and lessons than what meet our eyes. A moment’s reflection on the above two instances perhaps will have more than mere academic value, for as it so often happens in sports as in life, it is one’s reactions to the happenings on the field that characterize him / her more accurately than even the wealth of knowledge, and possibly talent too, that one is supposed to possess on the game itself. Firstly, in both the cases it is the batsmen who stand to gain. Secondly, it is the fielding team that is left with heartburns as a result. Perhaps the only difference in the above two scenarios is that the fault lies on different ends. Why then do we not complain in the first case, but take a moral high ground, in the latter, and condemn the beneficiary? What is so special in the second case that catapults us on to a pedestal and hands us a judge’s gavel to brand the beneficiary? How is it that we condemn the person who committed the mistake in the former but overlook, or sometimes even sympathize with, the person who had not lived up to his professional commitment, in the latter? In fact, in the latter case we readily denounce the beneficiary.

    A Publication of The Science and Information Organization (IJACSA) International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, Vol. 2, No.1, January 2011 IJACSA Editorial From the Desk of Managing Editor… May 2011 bring something new in life. Let us bathe in a resolution to bring hopes and a spirit to overcome all the darkness of past year. We hope it provide a determination to start all things with a new beginning which we failed to complete in the past year, some new promises to make life more beautiful, peaceful and meaningful. Happy New Year and welcome to the first issue of IJACSA in 2011. With the onset of 2011, The Science and Information Organization enters into agreements for technical co- sponsorship with SETIT 2011 organizing committees as one means of promoting activities for the interest of its members. It’s a great opportunity to explore and learn new things, and meet new people The number of submissions we receive has increased dramatically over the last issues. Our ability to accommodate this growth is due in large part to the terrific work of our Editorial Board. In order to publish high quality papers, Manuscripts are evaluated for scientific accuracy, logic, clarity, and general interest. Each Paper in the Journal not merely summarizes the target articles, but also evaluates them critically, place them in scientific context, and suggest further lines of inquiry. As a consequence only 30% of the received articles have been finally accepted for publication. IJACSA emphasizes quality and relevance in its publications. In addition, IJACSA recognizes the importance of international influences on Computer Science education and seeks international input in all aspects of the journal, including content, authorship of papers, readership, paper reviewers, and Editorial Board membership The success of authors and the journal is interdependent.
