Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 2019 • The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2019 was awarded jointly to William G. Kaelin Jr, Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza "for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability." • The fundamental importance of oxygen has been understood for centuries, but how cells adapt to changes in oxygen levels has long been unknown. • This year’s Nobel Prize awarded work reveals the molecular mechanisms that underlie how cells adapt to variations in oxygen supply. • Oxygen sensing is central to a large number of diseases. The discoveries made by this year’s Nobel Prize laureates have fundamental importance for physiology and have paved the way for promising new strategies to fight anaemia, cancer and many other diseases. • 2019 Medicine Laureates William G. Kaelin Jr, Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza have identified molecular machinery that regulates the activity of genes in response to...

National Mission on Bovine Productivity:- * It was launched in November 2016 with aim of enhancing milk production and productivity and thereby making dairying more remunerative to farmers. * It is being implemented with following components * Pashu Sanjivni : It includes identification of animals in milk using UID, issuing health cards to all animals in milk and uploading data on INAPH data base. * Advance reproductive Technique: Under it, sex sorted semen production facility is being created at 10   A graded semen stations and 50 EET Labs with IVF facilities. * Creation of E Pashu Haat Portal : It is for linking farmers and breeders of indigenous breeds and * Establishment of National Bovine Genomic Centre for Indigenous Breeds (NBGC-IB): It is established for enhancing milk production and productivity through genomic selection among indigenous breeds.

What Is Human Capital? Human capital is an intangible asset or quality not listed on a company's balance sheet. It can be classified as the economic value of a worker's experience and skills. This includes assets like education, training, intelligence, skills, health, and other things employers value such as loyalty and punctuality. The concept of human capital recognizes that not all labor is equal. But employers can improve the quality of that capital by investing in employees—the education, experience, and abilities of employees all have economic value for employers and for the economy as a whole. Human capital is important because it is perceived to increase productivity and thus profitability. So the more a company invests in its employees (i.e., in their education and training), the more productive and profitable it could be. Understanding Human Capital An organization is often said to only be as good as its people. Directors, employees, and leaders who make up...
