Notably, 2023 has been designated as the ‘International Year of Millets’ after a proposal for it was brought forward by India and endorsed by members of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) governing bodies, as well as by the 75th Session of the UN General Assembly.
The noted millet food expert says cooking is his passion and he wants to make masses aware about benefits of millets.
“I will be there at the Surajkund Mela in Faridabad for two weeks next month where I will do millet-related activities.
“Towards March-end, when some G-20 meetings are scheduled to take place in Chandigarh, I will again be doing some activities when variety of millet dishes will be served to the foreign dignitaries,” he told PTI.
In February-end and beginning of March, Ram Babu said he will visit different colleges in Chandigarh, including the Home Science college and Hotel Management Institute, where several activities related to millet and spices will take place for three days.
In Punjab, he has been closely working with an organisation — Kheti Virasat Mission — which has also been trying to propagate millets for past many years and whose mission he says is to revive and conserve natural farming practices, traditional and healthy food, traditional handicrafts etc.

“I tie up with different organisations which are working in food and agriculture –they keep on asking me to do some activities. I also want to give a helping hand to different organisations, which are working in agriculture and food side, in healing and forgotten foods.

Pak actor Adnan Siddiqui slams ‘Mission Majnu’: Hire some good researchers

[ad_1]
Mumbai: Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui has slammed ‘Mission Majnu’ starring Sidharth Malhotra for ‘misrepresentation’ of Pakistanis in the movie, which he tagged as ‘distasteful’ and ‘factually incorrect’ and slammed it for ‘poor story, poorer execution, poorest research’.
Adnan took to Instagram to share his thought. The actor, who has worked in the Hindi film ‘Mom’ starring late actress Sridevi, wrote: “How much misrepresentation is too much misrepresentation? Bollywood has the answer. I mean come on, yaar with all the money you have, hire some good researchers to do homework on us. Or allow me to help.”
He shared Pakistanis “don’t wear skull caps, surma and tawiz”, which Sidharth was seen donning to play his character Tariq in the film directed by Shantanu Bagchi.
Siddiqui wrote: “Make sure to take notes – no, we don’t wear skull caps, surma, tawiz; no, we don’t ask janab about their mijaz; no, we don’t go around throwing adaab.”
He added: “There’s so much in #MissionMajnu that’s distasteful & factually incorrect. The hero’s saviour complex would’ve accentuated more if the villain was shown at par. A weak antagonist embellishes even weaker protagonist.”
He said “Poor story, poorer execution, poorest research. Next time, come and visit us. We are good hosts. Will show you how we look like, dress up and live.”
The film, which released on Netflix, follows Amandeep Singh IPS, a RAW field operative who heads to Pakistan on an undercover mission to investigate about Pakistan’s involvement in creating nuclear weapons.

NASA’s mega Moon rocket now ready for crewed mission

[ad_1]
Washington: NASA’s mega moon rocket has cleared all performance tests and engineers are now taking a closer look at the Space Launch System (SLS) performance to prepare for the first crewed Artemis missions.
NASA continues to evaluate data and learn more about the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket’s debut performance during the agency’s Artemis I launch on November 16 this year.
“NASA’s Space Launch System rocket has laid the foundation for the Artemis Generation and the future of spaceflight in deep space,” said John Honeycutt, SLS Programme manager.
“There is engineering and an art to successfully building and launching a rocket, and the analysis on the SLS rocket’s inaugural flight puts NASA and its partners in a good position to power missions for Artemis II and beyond,” he said.
The preliminary post-flight data indicated that all SLS systems performed exceptionally and that the designs are ready to support a crewed flight on Artemis II.
The core stage of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket has more than 1,000 sensors and 45 miles of cabling.
The Artemis I flight test was the only way to gather real data on how the rocket performed during events like booster separation.
“The data we got back from Artemis I is critical in building confidence in this rocket to send humanity back to the Moon,” said John Blevins, SLS chief engineer.

The SLS team will use what we learn from this flight test to improve future flights of the rocket, and we are already taking what we’ve learned about operations and assembly and applying it to streamline future missions, he added.
Cameras and sensors also allowed teams to monitor how the rocket performed during its in-space manoeuvres.
Engineers also monitored the extreme temperatures and sounds the rocket experienced just after liftoff.
Througha-Artemis, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of colour on the surface of the Moon, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and serving as a stepping stone for astronauts on the way to Mars.
