* FRAGILE X-ASSOCIATED TREMOR/ATAXIA SYNDROME (FXTAS) researchers from out Indore found that piperine which is found in back paper can be used to cure FXTAS Patients. 

It is a late-onset disorder which happens after age 50 n worsen with age where it damage brain part which control movement n occurs due to axcessive precence of repeat RNA.

* National center for Polar and Ocean research monitored that 6 Himalayan glaciers (Sutri Dhaka, Batal, Bara Shigri, Samudra Tapu, Gepang Gath and Kunzum) are retreating at the rate of 13 to 33 mm/year.  NCPOR has taken study in Western Himalaya in Chandra basin in Lahaul-Spiti (Himachal Pradesh) since 2013.

NCPOR has also established a center at 4000 mt altitute in Sutri Dhaka named "Himansh".

* Bio Fertilizer Capsules (1gram) - ICAR has developed a capsules which contain living organism in capsules. 1 capsules replaces 1 kg of Biofertilizer or 1 ltr of Biofertilizer. 
What is bio fertilizer - consists of a carrier medium rich in live microorganisms.increases soil nutrients (Nitrogen & phosphorous) or makes them biologically available. Biofertilizers contain different types of fungi, root bacteria or other microorganisms. They form a mutually beneficial or symbiotic relationship with host plants as they grow in the soil.

Benifits - Environment friendly, Easy to carry, Low cost and easy to use than chemical fertilizer. Increase yeild by 30% coz it adds Nitrogen & phosphorous to soil.
Disadvantage - Cant replace Chemical fertilizer completely, Carefull handling of capsules, use before expiry, Proper soil condition needed (doesnt give effective result if soil is dry or hot & alkaline soil), If natural microbial enemies are present exessively.
