India to Launch National AI Compute Portal


<p><strong>India AI mission portal:</strong> The Indian government is set to launch the ‘IndiaAI’ compute portal within seven to eight days. This platform will allow key stakeholders to request compute capacity, including central ministries, state governments, and other major players. The ‘IndiaAI’ compute pillar has issued a memo to all central ministries, departments, and chief secretaries outlining subsidised rates for computing capacity, network, and storage services.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Will Cover 40% of Computing Costs</h2>



<p>According to media reports, the IndiaAI mission will cover approximately 40% of the computing costs for eligible users. Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw stated that the portal will be launched very soon. The mission will provide shared computer resources through approximately 14,000 Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). These GPUs will be provided through ten companies that submitted the lowest bids, including Yotta Data Services, E2E Networks, and Tata Communications. Around 70% of the GPUs are high-capacity models, while the remaining 30% are lower-capacity or older-generation GPUs. Yotta Data Services will provide the highest compute capacity (9,216 GPUs).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Purpose of the Initiative</h2>



<p>The government has accelerated efforts to develop AI models domestically. This move is seen as a response to China&#8217;s DeepSeek, which was developed at a significantly lower cost compared to models from major companies like OpenAI. The initiative to acquire new GPUs aims to provide researchers and startups with the necessary computing power to develop foundational AI models, the same models that underpin chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini.</p>

<p><strong>Champions Trophy 2025:</strong> The Indian team suffered a major setback just before the start of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Bowling coach Morne Morkel has left the team in Dubai and returned home due to personal reasons. While the exact reason for Morkel&#8217;s departure to South Africa is unclear, speculation suggests the passing of his father. Morkel&#8217;s sudden departure could impact India&#8217;s Champions Trophy preparations, especially with Mohammed Shami struggling for form, and Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana having only recently made their ODI debuts.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Missed Training Session on 17 February</h2>



<p>According to a report in TOI, bowling coach Morne Morkel arrived in the UAE with the Indian team on 15 February. He was present with the team at the ICC Academy for the afternoon training session on 16 February but missed the training session on 17 February. The report states that he has returned home. While it remains unclear what exactly transpired with the South African player, speculation points to the death of his father. Furthermore, there is no clarity on whether Morkel will be a part of the Champions Trophy 2025, and if so, when.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Increased Trouble for India Before Champions Trophy 2025?</h2>



<p>The report further mentions that Rohit Sharma and company may take a break from training on Tuesday and will train on 19 February, on the eve of their first match against Bangladesh on 20 February. Morkel&#8217;s absence could now severely impact the team&#8217;s prospects in the tournament, considering Jasprit Bumrah is not part of the team and Mohammed Shami is in slightly poor form.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pant Trains Without a Bandage</h2>



<p>During the Indian team&#8217;s session on Sunday, left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant sustained an injury and was attended to by the team physio with an ice pack, eventually limping out of the session. Now Rishabh Pant appears fully fit. He trained without any bandage on his left knee.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Team India Squad</h2>



<p>Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (ऋषभ पंत), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Varun Chakravarthy.</p>

WPL 2025: New Run-Out Rule


<p><strong>WPL Rule Changed:</strong> A controversy erupted after the Delhi Capitals versus Mumbai Indians match played on 15 February in the Women&#8217;s Premier League (WPL 2025) following three consecutive run-out decisions by the third umpire. This led to Mumbai&#8217;s defeat, prompting the team to lodge a protest. It has now been revealed that the third umpire, Gayatri Venugopalan, made the correct decisions under a changed rule, a fact unknown to the teams at the time.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Incident</h2>



<p>The match was between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals in the WPL 2025. In the final over, the on-field umpire referred three run-out instances to the third umpire. In all three cases, the bat was on the crease line when the LED stumps first lit up. However, the umpire made the decision based on the bails being dislodged, when the bat was already in the crease. These decisions went against Mumbai, prompting anger from captain Harmanpreet Kaur.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The New Rule</h2>



<p>According to ESPNcricinfo, the Women&#8217;s Premier League has now informed the teams that umpires will only consider a run-out or stumping as a wicket when the bails are completely dislodged. Previously, the stumps were considered broken as soon as the bails lit up. Under the new rules, this is no longer the case; the frame where the bails are removed will be reviewed.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Teams Informed Later</h2>



<p>The report also states that the rule change was implemented because the bails batch lights up even with minimal contact. Third umpire Gayatri Venugopalan made her decisions according to this new rule, sparking the debate. It has now emerged that the TV umpires were informed of the new rule before the match, while both teams were informed later.</p>


<p>WPL Rule Change: A rule regarding run-outs and stumpings has been amended for the Women&#8217;s Premier League (WPL) in 2025.</p>

<p><strong>Rising Cancer Cases in India:</strong> Excessive alcohol consumption is increasing the risk of cancer. The World Health Organization (WHO) has described it as a toxic and addictive substance, categorised as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). This is the same category that includes dangerous substances like tobacco and asbestos. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cancer cases increasing in India</h2>



<p>India is witnessing a rise in cancer cases, with increasing alcohol consumption emerging as a major contributing factor. According to a study published in The Lancet, in 2020, 62,100 new cancer cases in India were linked to alcohol. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Which Cancers are Caused by Alcohol?</h2>



<p><strong>Alcohol consumption can lead to over 20 types of cancer, prominently including:</strong></p>



<p><strong>–</strong> Mouth and throat cancer</p>



<p><strong>–</strong> Oesophageal cancer</p>



<p><strong>–</strong> Stomach and intestinal cancer</p>



<p><strong>–</strong> Pancreatic cancer</p>



<p><strong>–</strong> Breast and prostate cancer</p>



<p><strong>–</strong> Liver cancer</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Does Alcohol Promote Cancer?</h2>



<p>After entering the body, alcohol converts into acetaldehyde, which can damage DNA and proteins. Furthermore, alcohol hinders the absorption of essential nutrients like folate, vitamins A, C, D, and E, weakening the body&#8217;s immune system.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Expert Opinions</h2>



<p>According to Dr. Puneet Garg (Vascular Interventional Radiologist, Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi), alcohol significantly increases the risk of cancer. It can particularly increase the risk of breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.</p>



<p>Dr. Taraprasad Tripathi (Assistant Professor, AIIMS Bhubaneswar) states that alcohol weakens the body&#8217;s natural immune system, making it less effective in fighting cancer cells.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alcohol and Cancer: Recognize the Symptoms</h2>



<p>Early detection of cancer can make treatment possible. Some symptoms to watch out for:</p>



<p>Mouth and throat cancer: Sore throat, difficulty swallowing, unexplained bleeding.</p>



<p>Liver cancer: Abdominal swelling, jaundice, sudden weight loss.</p>



<p>Breast cancer: Breast lumps, abnormal discharge, skin pitting.</p>



<p>Experts say that no amount of alcohol is safe. Reducing or eliminating its consumption can help prevent cancer. Regular health check-ups and a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce the risk of cancer.</p>



<p>There is a direct link between alcohol and cancer, ignoring which can prove dangerous. It is essential to be vigilant in time so that we can protect the health of ourselves and our families.</p>

<p><strong>UP Expressways:</strong> The Uttar Pradesh government has finalised plans for the construction of the Vindhya Expressway and the Vindhya Purvanchal Expressway. Preparations are underway to commence construction of both expressways in July. A consultant company will be selected in March to determine the routes for both expressways. Following the survey, the company will finalise the routes, after which land acquisition will take place. Subsequently, a developer will be chosen to undertake the construction.

Bhopal AIIMS shocker: Rare one-inch parasite found in man&#39;s eye!


<p><strong>Eye Parasites:</strong> A case has emerged at AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences), Bhopal, where a one-inch long live parasite was found in a man&#8217;s eye, causing redness. This rare case is only the 3rd or 4th of its kind reported worldwide. The young man underwent examination at the ophthalmology department of AIIMS Bhopal, where the presence of a live parasite in his eye was discovered. The parasite measured one inch in length, surprising even the doctors. But how do parasites get into the eyes, or how do such insects thrive there? We will explore the causes and prevention measures in detail.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Special rare surgery done in AIIMS</h2>



<p>Doctors at AIIMS hospital, Bhopal, removed a live worm from a patient&#8217;s eye during a complex surgery. This was a shocking case where a young man experienced rapid reddening of his eyes and difficulty seeing. Despite medication, his vision continued to deteriorate. Investigations revealed a live parasite in his eye, measuring one inch in length, which surprised the doctors. Following the examination, the doctors also explained how the parasite entered the young man&#8217;s body and spread to his eyes.</p>



<pre id="tw-target-text" class="wp-block-preformatted">&nbsp;</pre>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Eye Parasites Symptoms</h2>



<p>Symptoms include redness or irritation in the eyes, and corneas that appear cloudy or dirty or have a ring-shaped area on their surface. Blurred or weakened vision (usually in severe or advanced cases).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"> Eat well-cooked meat</h2>



<p>AIIMS doctors warned that meat should be thoroughly cooked before consumption. They explained that raw or undercooked meat can lead to parasite entry into the body, spreading to various organs including the skin, brain, and eyes, causing serious health problems. They also explained that, particularly with frozen fish, there is a life cycle involved. Fish meat contains eggs which, upon reaching the stomach, transform into larvae. At this stage, the larvae are very small and can enter the bloodstream, spreading to any part of the body. Once they reach a safe location, they begin to grow, making their later removal difficult.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cook meat to proper temperature</h2>



<p>If you enjoy eating meat, thorough cooking is crucial for your health. The correct cooking process depends on the type of meat and the temperature used.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to cook meat properly</h2>



<p>Generally, meat should be cooked to at least 70°C (160°F) to kill harmful bacteria and parasites. Therefore, thorough heating is essential, especially for meats like chicken, beef, and mutton.</p>
