  Indian companies and researchers will be able to develop electric vehicles that will be “equal to Tesla from the technology point of view,” Union Minster Nitin Gadkari said on Monday. Speaking to  The Indian Express  at the Idea Exchange programme, Gadkari, the Minister of Road Transport and Highways and MSME, said that EV major Tesla would be starting operations in India early 2021. “Tesla is preparing to start operations in India by early 2021. I am sure that there are a lot of EV which are equal to Tesla from the technology point of view. Indian manufacturers are doing a lot of research and changes. In due course of time you will get electric cars which will be equal to Tesla. I am confident and the cost will be very less,” Gadkari said, adding that in due course India would be the “number one manufacturer” of electric vehicles like cars, bikes, trucks, tractors and construction machinery that run on electricity.

COVID-19 cases have only been on the rise, and with the non-availability of effective drugs and vaccines, one of the effective ways to control it is to detect it early in patients. However, the task is easier said than done. While a large number of test kits are being produced, they are not enough to conduct it in large numbers. Government-run bodies such as C-CAMP or Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platform have been a key enabler in driving COVID-19 testing as it has been aggressively building, managing and scaling the ecosystem of MSMEs to produce COVID-19 test kits indigenously. However, they might not be enough.  To scale up this production of test kits to a million test kits a day, TCS has come up with a solution to support C-CAMP in achieving that. In a recent announcement, TCS said that it had deployed a  blockchain-based  digital supply chain platform to drive the ambitious new project launched by C-CAMP.

MUMBAI: All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has extended the last date for admissions to engineering courses to December 31, after requests from many state governments. In a revised circular, the council said dates have been extended only where counselling and admissions had not started due to delayed CET. Meanwhile, the state CET cell plans to complete admissions to all courses, including engineering, MBA/MMS, law and BEd in two rounds, instead of three.

 TCS through its supply chain solution is helping the Indian Government’s C-CAMP build, manage and scale an ecosystem of MSMEs to indigenously produce a million Covid-19 test kits a day TCS recently announced that it has deployed a blockchain-based digital supply chain platform that powers an ambitious new project launched by the Government of India’s Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP) to scale up indigenous Covid-19 diagnostic test-kit production capacity to a million test kits a day. C-CAMP’s newly launched project, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, is called Indigenisation of Diagnostics (InDx), and aims to build a robust, scalable supply-chain ecosystem of Indian MSMEs capable of producing large quantities of reagents and other components needed for RT-qPCR-based and other diagnostic test kits for Covid-19. The project entails eliminating supply-chain bottlenecks, and handholding MSMEs to help them bridge capability gaps, meet necessary quality standards a...

IIT Bombay has organised this course while keeping in mind the value of basic programming to all. According to IIT Bombay, C++ allows one to design very fast programs and access low-level machine features. At the same time, its libraries provide a very high-level programming model. Some even consider C++, a modern, safer version of the C language. This course provides an approach to problem-solving and programming using the C++ programming language. The topics include basic programming notions, control flow, variables and assignments statements, conditional execution, looping, function calls including recursion, arrays and structure, an elementary aspects of classes, heap memory, program design. It further ventures into the array of how human beings solve problems manually. Moreover, the course includes strategies to translate manual strategies to computer programs, organizing large programs into units such as functions and classes, introduction to assertions and invarian...
