Pune: The Serum Institute of India (SII) has announced its ambitious plan to introduce a pioneering malaria vaccine in the country. Cyrus Poona Walla, Managing Director of SII, revealed this incredible development during a press conference organized by the Miss World Organisation in Pune. The event, hosted at the Ritz-Carlton, Pune, welcomed the delegates of Miss World 2023.

Building on the triumphant rollout of Covishield, Poonawalla proudly shared that SII is on the cusp of launching a revolutionary malaria vaccine – a pioneering achievement on a global scale. His words resonated through various media outlets, capturing the excitement surrounding this ground-breaking endeavor.

Furthermore, Poonawalla disclosed that SII is concurrently engaged in crafting a vaccine for dengue, an additional stride towards bolstering public health defences. During the press briefing, he assured that the dengue vaccine would be attainable within a year’s time.

The significance of these advancements cannot be understated, especially within the context of India’s healthcare landscape. As of 2020, India accounted for a staggering 82 percent of global malaria-related deaths, along with a high number of cases in the South-East Asian region. Recent government statistics underline the prevalence of vector-borne diseases in the country, with dengue and malaria leading the chart in 2021.

SII’s dedication to innovation marks a remarkable stride forward in combating these health challenges, raising hopes for a healthier and more resilient nation.

Government Summons Special Parliamentary Session, Agenda Shrouded in Mystery.

by theparliamentnews.com 31 August 2023

written by theparliamentnews.com

New Delhi: The government has announced a “special session of Parliament” scheduled to convene from September 18 to 22, as revealed by Union Minister Pralhad Joshi’s post on X (formerly Twitter). Anticipation fills the air as the session, encompassing five sittings, approaches under the auspices of “Amid Amrit Kaal.” Minister Joshi expressed hope for productive discussions and debates within the Parliament’s halls.

Despite the imminent event, the government has maintained an air of secrecy around the potential subjects up for discussion. Speculation is rife that this extraordinary session might mark the commencement of the transition from the historic parliamentary building to the newly constructed one – symbolically initiating in the old and concluding in the new. Notwithstanding, insiders hint at the inclusion of Amrit Kaal festivities and India’s ascent to a ‘developed nation,’ with no clear indication of pivotal bills set for passage.

Furthermore, there is a possibility that this session may not be a joint assembly of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. The timing of the special session holds intrigue, coinciding with the third gathering of the mega opposition coalition I.N.D.I.A. in Mumbai. Comprising 28 parties, this bloc has unequivocally declared its mission to challenge the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the upcoming general elections next year.

Heartwarming Gesture: Cristiano Ronaldo Takes Time to Meet and Thank Blind Fangirl for Her Support.

by theparliamentnews.com 31 August 2023

written by theparliamentnews.com

Cristiano Ronaldo, a name synonymous with football greatness, continues to captivate hearts both on and off the field. After his move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr earlier this year, the Portuguese star remains a goal-scoring phenomenon, attracting fans from all corners. In a touching moment that underlines his compassion, Ronaldo recently took a special moment to connect with a blind fan who had been cheering for him, expressing gratitude for the luck she brought to his performances.

Ronaldo’s magnetic appeal extends globally, evidenced by his vast following on social media, particularly Instagram. As Al-Nassr triumphed 5-0 over Saudi Pro League side Al Fateh, an opportunity arose for a devoted young fan to meet her idol in person.

“I’m your biggest fan,” the girl’s voice quivered with excitement in the video. Ronaldo’s gracious reply followed: “Thank you, thank you.”

Her admiration continued, “Actually, I just came for you. I loved you playing and I can’t believe that you scored those three goals.” Ronaldo’s humble response resonated, “You gave me luck.”

The impact of Ronaldo’s presence in the Saudi Pro League has been substantial. While the legendary player, who boasts stints with Real Madrid and Manchester United, joined the league in January, the recent summer transfer window witnessed a slew of other prominent players signing with Saudi Arabian clubs. The league now boasts talents like Karim Benzema, Neymar Jr., N’Golo Kante, Jordan Henderson, and Ruben Neves.

Numerous experts speculate that this is just the beginning for the Saudi League, which holds the potential to become one of the world’s premier football leagues, given its substantial financial resources.

Russian President Putin Informs PM Modi of Unavailability for G20 Summit in Delhi.

by theparliamentnews.com 29 August 2023

written by theparliamentnews.com

New Delhi, August 29, 2023 – Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a productive phone call with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, conveying his regretful inability to attend the upcoming G20 Summit in New Delhi. During the conversation, the two leaders discussed a range of bilateral cooperation matters and shared perspectives on mutual regional and global concerns, including insights from the recent BRICS Summit in Johannesburg.

In his communication, President Putin expressed his regrets about not being able to personally attend the G20 Summit scheduled for September 9-10, 2023. Instead, he confirmed that Russia will be represented by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Prime Minister Modi responded with understanding and appreciation for Russia’s continued support of India’s initiatives as the host of the G20 Presidency.

Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to ongoing communication and collaboration. The telephone conversation took place in light of recent reports indicating President Putin’s decision not to personally participate in the G20 summit due to a “busy schedule” and a continued focus on Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine.

The G20 summit, anticipated to be one of India’s largest gatherings of world leaders, is set to take place in New Delhi on September 9 and 10. India assumed the G20 Presidency from Indonesia on December 1, 2022.

Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the president’s absence, stating that Putin’s participation format will be determined in due course. President Putin’s remote participation in this week’s BRICS summit in Johannesburg was noted, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov representing him at the event.

President Putin’s decision aligns with his prior non-participation in global summits due to international considerations. In light of the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in March, his absence from the G20 Summit in Bali last year and the recent BRICS summit in Johannesburg underscores his cautious approach.

As the G20 Summit approaches, global leaders will convene in New Delhi to address critical global issues and collaboratively chart a path forward.

Commemorated annually on August 29, the day honors the linguistic heritage of Telugu, one of India’s esteemed classical languages. This year’s celebrations showcased a strong sense of pride and connection to the language.

Telugu, spoken predominantly in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, holds a special position among India’s languages. It enjoys the distinction of being one of the country’s six classical languages and is also the official language of both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

Known as “The Italian of the East,” Telugu shares a unique linguistic trait with the Italian language – the characteristic of words ending with vowels. This parallel was first noted by Niccol de Conti, an Italian traveler from the 16th century, adding an intriguing layer to Telugu’s linguistic nuances.

The Telugu Language Day festivities provided a platform to strengthen the bond with the mother tongue, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation among participants. The occasion featured a special assembly where students showcased their talents through a choreographed sequence of rhythmic steps. This artistic performance not only celebrated the language itself but also showcased its cultural and artistic dimensions.

Preserving and celebrating regional languages like Telugu is of paramount importance as they serve as custodians of a region’s history, heritage, and identity. The celebrations on Telugu Language Day underscored the collective pride and awareness surrounding this linguistic treasure, affirming the inseparable link between language, culture, and community.

The event highlighted that linguistic diversity is a valuable asset, mirroring the tapestry of cultures that enrich our society. As the celebrations concluded, the resonance of Telugu language and culture remained, underscoring the pivotal role language plays in shaping our shared legacy.

A Cinematic Kingdom: South Indian Star King Nagarjuna’s 64th Birthday and Iconic Legacy.

by theparliamentnews.com 29 August 2023

written by theparliamentnews.com

Akkineni Nagarjuna Rao, affectionately known as Nagarjuna, stands as a luminary in the world of Indian cinema. Born on August 29, 1959, his life story is one of unwavering determination and remarkable achievements, reflecting a perfect blend of resilience, versatility, and an indelible impact on the entertainment industry.

Nagarjuna’s career is deeply rooted in Telugu cinema, with impactful forays into Hindi and Tamil films. However, his path to stardom was paved with challenges, a journey marked by relentless pursuit of excellence and a willingness to explore diverse roles.

His first steps into acting were as a child artist in the 1967 Telugu film “Sudigundalu,” directed by Adurthi Subba Rao. A few decades later, he made his grand debut as a lead actor with “Vikram” in 1986, directed by V. Madhusudhana Rao. This initial success laid the foundation for his rise, but it was his role in the 1989 romantic drama “Geetanjali,” directed by Mani Ratnam, that truly catapulted him into the limelight. The film not only garnered acclaim but also won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment.

Yet, it was Nagarjuna’s willingness to embrace diverse roles that solidified his legacy. He delved into comedy with the 1994 hit “Hello Brother,” which went on to become a Hindi remake titled “Judwaa.” Known as the “Celluloid Scientist,” he fearlessly experimented with unconventional scripts, showcasing his commitment to pushing creative boundaries.

While Nagarjuna experienced triumphs, he also navigated challenges. Despite these ups and downs, he never lost sight of his passion. His involvement extended beyond acting as he ventured into film production in 1995. Notable projects like “Ninne Pelladata” and “Annamayya” highlighted his prowess as a producer and his dedication to promoting exceptional storytelling.

Nagarjuna’s influence also transcended the silver screen. As a co-owner of Annapurna Studios, he left an indelible mark on the production landscape. Furthermore, his presidency at the non-profit Annapurna International School of Film and Media showcased his commitment to nurturing budding talents in the industry.

Turning 64 on August 29, 2023, Nagarjuna’s journey epitomizes the power of persistence and evolution. His filmography spans genres, languages, and eras, with certain films achieving iconic status. His roles in movies like the romantic drama “Geetanjali,” the trendsetting “Siva,” and the biographical masterpiece “Annamayya” not only showcase his acting prowess but also demonstrate his ability to choose roles that resonate deeply with audiences.

Nagarjuna’s journey from his early days as a child artist to becoming a revered figure in Indian cinema encapsulates the essence of the industry – a tale of resilience, reinvention, and a profound passion for storytelling. As we celebrate his birthday, we not only honor the actor but also the exceptional journey he embarked upon, leaving an indelible mark as an icon in the realm of entertainment.
