World Food Safety Day


World Food Safety Day on 7 June aims to draw attention and inspire action to help prevent, detect and manage foodborne risks, contributing to food security, human
 health, economic prosperity, agriculture, market access, tourism and sustainable development. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) jointly facilitate the observance of World Food Safety Day, in collaboration with Member States and other relevant organizations. This international day is an opportunity to strengthen efforts to ensure that the food we eat is safe, mainstream food safety in the public agenda and reduce the burden of foodborne diseases globally.



Did you know?

Unsafe food containing harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites or chemical substances causes more than 200 diseases.

Recent estimates indicate that the impact of unsafe food costs low- and middle-income economies around US$ 95 billion in lost productivity each year.

Good hygiene practices in the food and agricultural sectors help to reduce the emergence and spread of foodborne diseases.

Biography:- Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha

 Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha, also known as Homi Bhabha, was an Indian nuclear physicist, engineer, and the father of India's nuclear power program. He was born on October 30, 1909, in Bombay (now Mumbai), India, and was the second of three children of Jehangir Hormusji Bhabha, a lawyer, and Meheren. Bhabha received his early education at the Cathedral and John Connon School in Bombay and later went on to study at the Elphinstone College, where he received a degree in mathematics and physics. He later received a scholarship to study at the University of Cambridge, where he received a tripos degree in mathematics in 1930 and a Ph.D. in nuclear physics in 1934. After completing his studies, Bhabha returned to India and joined the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore as a reader in the physics department. In 1940, he established the Cosmic Ray Research Unit at the Institute, which later became the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). During World War II, Bhabha played a key...

Blackhole

 Title: Journey into the Depths of Black Holes: Unveiling the Enigmatic Cosmic Abyss Introduction: The universe is filled with celestial wonders, but perhaps none are as captivating and mysterious as black holes. These cosmic enigmas have intrigued scientists and sparked the imagination of the general public alike. In this article, we embark on a captivating journey to explore the fascinating world of black holes, unraveling their origins, characteristics, and the mind-bending phenomena they give rise to. 1. Defining Black Holes: Cosmic Singularities of Gravity At the heart of our exploration lies the definition of black holes. We delve into their formation through the gravitational collapse of massive stars. We examine the concept of an event horizon, the boundary beyond which nothing can escape the immense gravitational pull of a black hole. Furthermore, we explore the central singularity—a point of infinite density and spacetime curvature. 2. Anatomy of a Black Hole: Event Horiz...
