#PARAKRAM_DIVAS
Parakram Diwas, 2020
• In order to honour and remember Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s indomitable spirit and selfless service to the nation, the Government of India has decided to celebrate his birthday on January 23 every year as 'Parakram Diwas' to inspire people of the country, especially the youth, to act with fortitude in the face of adversity as Netaji did, and to infuse in them a spirit of patriotic fervour.
About the personality
• Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was born in Cuttack (present-day Odisha) on 23rd January to Janakinath Bose and Prabhavati Dutt.
• He was an active part of the youth wing of Indian National Congress before becoming the Congress President back in 1938.
• After a fallout with top leaders in Congress, Netaji went to Germany in 1941. Netaji used to give inspirational addresses on Free India Radio which he set up with the help of the Germans.
• He was heavily inspired by Swami Vivekananda and his ideals. He believed in religion and followed the teachings of Hinduism.
• However, all religious discriminations and bigotries were completely discarded by the visionary leader.
• He travelled to Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union and Imperial Germany when the Second World War broke out in order to find a way through which he could free India from British rule.
• Netaji's demise still remains a mystery. Government records suggest that he died due to third-degree burns he sustained during a plane crash in Taiwan but there have been a number of theories about how Netaji faked his death in order to work secretly.

📚General Science One-Liners (Biology)📚
🔰The most important role played by Ribosome in the cells is the synthesis of proteins. Ribosomes are composed of special proteins and nucleic acids.
🔰Abscisic Acid plays the most important role in establishing dormancy in seeds. Abscisic Acid has also been found to be present in metazoans, from sponges up to mammals including humans.
🔰Amnesia refers to a loss of memory due to illness, injury, drug abuse or other causes.
🔰Pathogens contain certain chemicals called antigens. When a pathogen enters the human body, the antigens stimulate the lymphocytes to produce antibodies.
🔰Lymphocytes secrete Globulins which are known as antibodies. These antibodies help to fight specific pathogens that attack the body
🔰Plasma is 55% of the blood by volume and constitutes 5% of the body weight.
🔰Plasma is a pale yellow transparent clear fluid which consists of 90-92% water and 8-10% organic and inorganic substances.
🔰Organic substances are mainly plasma proteins viz. albumin, globulin, prothrombin and fibrinogen.
🔰Albumins are responsible for maintenance of osmotic pressure of Blood.
🔰Globulins are chief sites for formation of antibodies; while prothrombin and fibrinogen are essential for clotting of blood.
🔰Each kidney is made of tube like structures called nephrons (renal tubules).
🔰A nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney. The cup-shaped upper end called Bowman’s capsule, has a network of capillaries within it called glomerulus.
🔰Glomerulus is a knot of capillaries formed from the artery which brings blood containing wastes and excess of water to the kidney.
🔰Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoan parasites that belong to the genus Leishmania and is transmitted by the bite of certain species of Sandflies. The disease can present in three main ways: cutaneous, mucocutaneous, or visceral.
🔰Meningitis is a disease which is characterized by inflammation of meninges, the covering that lie over the brain and spinal chord is caused by bacteria. The meninges are the three membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord.
🔰Plague is an infectious disease caused by Yersinia pestis bacteria. It is usually found in small mammals and their fleas. The disease is transmitted between animals via their fleas. As it is a zoonotic bacterium, it can also transmit from animals to humans.

✅Indian Geography One-liners✅
🧿Winter rains in Chennai are caused by north-east trade winds.
🧿Debi river/Devi river is the one of the main distributaries of Mahanadi River. It flows through Odisha and joins Bay of Bengal. It also serves as nesting ground for Olive Ridley turtles.
🧿Tropical Deciduous Forests: They are also called the “Monsoon forests”. They grow in the areas with annual rainfall of 70-200 cm. Sandal wood, Shisam, Mahua, Sal, Teak and Bamboo are important species of trees. Moist deciduous and the dry deciduous forests are two major categories of these forests.
🧿Tawang monastery is the largest of its kind in the country and is one of the largest monasteries in Asia. It is said to be one of the biggest Buddhist monasteries in the world outside of Lhasa, Tibet. It is also known by another Tibetan name, ‘Galden Namgey Lhatse’, which means ‘celestial paradise in a clear night’.
🧿NH-44 is the longest highway in India. It starts from Srinagar (J&K) and ends at Kanyakumari (Tamilnadu). Total length of this highway is 3,745km.
🧿Bharat Rang Mahotsav’ was established in 1999 as an annual theatre festival of National School of Drama (NSD). Originally it was founded to show case, works of Indian theatre practitioners but later it got international fame and attracted international performers. Now it is acknowledged as the largest theatre festival of Asia.
🧿The Chambal River is a tributary of the Yamuna River. The river flows north-northeast through Madhya Pradesh, running for a time through Rajasthan, then forming the boundary between Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh before turning southeast to join the Yamuna in Uttar Pradesh state.
🧿Paradip Port is located at confluence of river Mahanadi in Bay of Bengal in Odisha. It was the first major port on East Coast commissioned in independent India.
🧿Gulf of Khambat and Gulf of Kutch is noted for the extreme rise and fall of its tides, making it ideal location for Tidal energy
🧿Jute is normally cultivated as an inter-crop between the two main agricultural seasons, kharif and rabi. Jute is an important cash crop, which is as an intercrop before paddy transplantation in most parts of the country. Paddy and jute are not competing crops as they are not sown during the same period on the same land. This has significant contribution to the farm income of a large section of rural households.
