12th August Current Affairs
Russia has launched the world’s first COVID-19 vaccine
Russia became the first country in the world to launch its very own coronavirus vaccine.
The announcement was made by President Vladimir Putin during a televised video conference call with government ministers.
The announcement came in the wake of the rising novel coronavirus pandemic that has infected more than 20 million people and killed nearly 750,000 worldwide, thus, crippling world economies.
Currently, there are more than 160 vaccine candidates in different stages of production and 27 of them have reached the human trials.
Industrial production declines by 16.6 % in June: Govt
Industrial production declined by 16.6 per cent in June, mainly due to lower output of manufacturing, mining and power generation.
According to the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) data, manufacturing sector production registered a decline of 17.1 percent, while the output of mining fell by 19.8 and power sector fell by 10 percent.
However, on a monthly basis, the Index of Industrial Production has shown improvement. The index, which was 53.6 in April, improved to 89.5 in May and 107.8 in June.
With the lifting of restrictions in the subsequent periods, industrial activity is now resuming.
EU announces €1.65 million humanitarian aid to flood hit people in South Asia
The European Union has announced €1.65 million humanitarian aid to support those affected by severe flooding in South Asia, most notably India, Bangladesh and Nepal.
Out of the total €1.65 million, €500,000 will be used in India to provide food and livelihood assistance and emergency relief supplies and water and sanitation services.
The support is in addition to the €1.8 million aid announced earlier this year by the EU to support families affected by a series of disasters, including Cyclone Amphan.
The current aid brings the total EU support to victims of disasters in the South Asia region to €3.45 million.
Education Minister Launches Architectural Education Regulations
Union education minister, Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, virtually launched the "Minimum Standards of Architectural Education Regulations, 2020“ in New Delhi.
While addressing the meeting, Mr Pokhriyal highlighted about unique architectural beauty of India, its monuments and temples.
The minister said these Regulations, which have been prepared by the experts of the Council of Architecture (CoA), will be able to address the major concerns and challenges lying in the area of human habitat and built environment in the country and propel India to a new high in the areas of innovation and skills development.
Renowned lyricist & poet Rahat Indori passes away
