F u t u r e p r o s p e c t sClimate is changing radically due to various factors such as pollution and global warming. Climate change adaptation and mitigation policies

can be adopted to decrease the rate of global warming. Embracing alternate energy sources, stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of

greenhouse gases, reforestation and judicious use of natural resources can lead to better conditions of climate in the future.

Anthropogenic activities interfering in the normal working of the ecosystem has led to the drastic loss of biodiversity all around the world.

Various national parks and sanctuaries have been set up to conserve the endangered species in situ. Captive breeding, Germplasm

conservation and cloning are some of the newer technologies that can be applied to increase the number of individuals of a particular

species. Moreover, the ban of products obtained from endangered species and heavy taxation on such products may also serve as a

deterrent for poachers of wildlife.

Food is necessary for our survival. Naturally, eliminating hunger is inextricably linked to eradicating poverty. It is predicted that with the increase in

population, unpredictable weather and decline in resources, there is going to be a scarcity.  Responsible usage of resources in the agro-food

industry would help protect life below water and life on land, and therefore promote healthier ecosystems and halt biodiversity loss. Due to the

intricate nature of issues surrounding food and agriculture, a holistic and interdisciplinary approach from various fields is an effective strategy to

achieve a truly sustainable and inclusive global food system. Meat has been in high demand for mankind since time immemorial. There is

predicted to be a decline in meat. However, cultured meat seems like a promising alternative. It involves meat produced by in vitro cultivation of

animal cells, instead of from slaughtered animals. In addition to being a sustainable development strategy, it can also help reduce the

transmission of meat borne diseases.

Every day we depend on energy for our day to day activities such as - electricity, hot water, and fuel for our cars. Majority of this energy comes

from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These are nonrenewable energy sources. In addition to this, they result in harmful emissions.

Due to these shortcomings, it is crucial that we start switching to other energy sources, like renewable energy sources.

Currently, less than ten percent of all the energy we use comes from renewable sources. While sustainability is a mindset and renewable energy

is a method, Both are environmentally-focused. Sustainable development aims at increasing the use of renewable energy resources in order to

have an inexhaustible and environment-friendly source of energy.

·        

At present, more and more countries are getting actively involved in

sustainable development, taking into account the increased global

warming and depletion of natural resources to dangerously low levels.

With various rules and regulations passed in favor of sustainable use of

natural resources and environmental conservation, there is hope for the

betterment of the situation but many problems still stand in the way of

attaining sustainable development goals.

From India’s point of view, Sustainable Development Goals

amalgamated together development and environment into a single

set of targets. Various steps have been taken by the government of

India for achieving the SDG’s. State action plans on climate change

(SAPCC) implement statewide activities addressing climate change

and emphasizes on climate conservation. In India, a carbon tax is

levied in the form of a cess on coal. With years, this tax has been

increasing in order to promote clean energy alternatives. National

adaptation fund for climate change (NAFCC) implements adaptation

measures in areas susceptible to climate change, reducing

environmental risks in various states of India.

During the UN sustainable development summit in September 2015 held

in New York, the “transforming our world: the 2030 agenda for

sustainable development” was adopted by 193 countries belonging to the

UN General Assembly. It outlined 17 Sustainable development goals

(SDG’s) and 169 targets associated to them which tackle social,

environmental and economic issues.

He began the explanation of his oxymoronic

occupation with a brief overview of NASA’s wider aims

in Exobiology and to find life in other parts of Space.

His own focus, however, was on ascertaining the

impact that microbes from Earth may have on the crew

of the International Space Station when they get

ferried to space in one of NASA’s spacecrafts. He

showed through a video from a camera in the ISS how

the Astronauts might get in contact with these

microbes. These efforts were all for the sake of

ensuring the safety of the residents of ISS from

possible pathogens in Space.

More interestingly, he also displayed how he had the

crew taking samples of both Dead and live microbes

from different surfaces in the Station. These samples

would then be dropped down to the surface and

studied to find how the Microbes had adapted to a

life in Zero-G, by using Molecular Biology and

Metagenomic methods, with which they hoped to find

novel variants or even species of Microbes to be used

back on Earth.

He ended his lecture by expressing his gratitude to

the audience and the faculty.

MICROBES IN SPACE

ALUMNUS TALK

As this semester’s last working day approached, the Batch of 2020 reached the end of theircoursework- a 3.5 year journey which started on the 9th floor of the University Buildingand concluded in the amphitheater-like classes of the Bioengineering Block. There werebittersweet smiles spread across everyone’s faces: the relief of reaching the end of theline, but also, the time to bid goodbye to the family we all found here at SRM. One would be lying if they said that the journey has been smooth in anyway. Over theyears we have written countless tests and exams, at times, merely separated by a month ofrespite, we have rushed to get records printed and corrected in time, we have pulled countless all nighters to get decent marks in CTs with “twisted” questions and universityexams, and also, adjusted to the rigid rules of the block, head on. But through it all, wehave persevered, and the difficulties that we were made to face have only made us moretenacious.

Can we forget the times of leaving our comforting homes in proper time, to not miss thecourse registration? Or passing the airport and wishing we could take a flight straight backhome? No! But, we also will never forget the SRM family, comprising of our batchmates,our hostel mates and everyone in between, with whom we have faced hardships andenjoyed festivals, all the same. The memories of the first Aarush with all the hypesurrounding it, discovering hidden delicacies at Java, shuttle bus rides to the main campus,complaining about in-times and dress codes, gossiping about pretty much everything- thelist of memories that our etched into our minds can go on forever. Thinking about this beautiful journey brings a smile to our faces, as we, the last batch tobear the red strap and to have faced Wardha, transition from students, into Alumni ofSRMIST.

SAVEWATER,SAVE YOURSELF !

While CBS's Limitless TV show began feeling like a retread of the 2011 motion picture, it immediately discovered

its balance in the subsequent scene, as it veered into lighter, a zanier area. This isn't to imply that the show

couldn't be lethal genuine when it needed to, however all through the principal season the arrangement found

some kind of harmony of saucy diversion, solid character advancement and hard-hitting dramatization, while

likewise unwinding the secret of NZT - the arrangement characterizing "keen pill."

Obviously, the arrangement's principle character Brian Finch (Greek's Jake McDorman, who recently worked

with Cooper on American Sniper) was continually going to represent the moment of truth of the show, and

fortunately the on-screen character nailed it. Notwithstanding being agreeable, alluring and amusing, Brian

appeared to have science with pretty much everybody, including and particularly his accomplice FBI Agent

Rebecca Harris (Dexter's Jennifer Carpenter). Together, these two laid the enthusiastic basis for the story and

played inconceivably well off one another. Likewise, refreshingly, the essayists quit a sentiment between the

two for an uncommon non-romantic companionship.

To be sure, if there was one thing Limitless did exceedingly well, it was subverting wrongdoing procedural

tropes. Regardless of whether it was Brian envisioning what the FBI was doing when he wasn't anywhere near

or including a science fiction/dream component to the instance of the week (hereditary deaths, robot arms,

Ferris Bueller reverences, and so forth.), the arrangement quite often figured out how to make the casework set

itself apart from the ordinary CSI toll - in any event, when the case itself wasn't especially astounding.

In the mean time, Limitless presented an abundance of wonderful optional characters and grew a greater

amount of a gathering as the season went on. Partners like Naz (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), Boyle (Hill

Harper) and Mike and Ike (Michael James Shaw and Tom Degnan) were steady champions, nearby Agent

Sands (Colin Salmon) and Piper Baird (Georgina Haig) at whatever point they sprung up. Indeed, even jokey

side characters like James and Stavros had their minutes to sparkle.

At last, Limitless took the first reason of the motion picture and developed it for the sake of entertainment and

intriguing ways. Not exclusively were the cases pleasant to watch on week to week, yet the proceeded with

character improvement and hidden NZT riddle kept Season 1 connecting all through, from start to finish. Ideally,

Season 2 - if there is a Season 2, thump on wood - will proceed with that pattern and begin to uncover reality

with regards to Eddie Morra and his end-all strategy.

Shockingly, Limitless: Season 1 ended up being outstanding amongst other new shows of 2015/16, because of

beguiling characters, astute storylines and a perky comical inclination. While few out of every odd new case

was a hit, the arrangement never lost its idiosyncratic sensibilities, even in its most critical minutes. It likewise

based on the Limitless mythos to uncover exactly how profound and ready with potential it is, thanks to some

extent to Bradley Cooper's eagerness to return and play Eddie Morra. Be that as it may, in any event, when NZT

wasn't the focal point of a scene, Limitless still figured out how to engage and give us it had something beyond

the first motion picture making it work.

Achievement is associated with the targeted goals or aims in life. When we define

our action in relation to something like a goal a task is created. A task when

fulfilled is called an achievement earned. The struggle in life is the sum total of our

achievements,success, failures, mistakes.

Lets take a moment and congratulate our young achievers.
