Caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes, malaria can lead to severe illness and even death if left untreated.

  Our planet Earth is a dynamic system, constantly facing natural and human-induced challenges. Disaster management, weather forecasting, and resource mapping are crucial aspects of ensuring a sustainable future. Thankfully, advancements in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing technologies provide powerful tools to tackle these challenges.

Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae. It primarily affects the skin, peripheral nerves, and mucous membranes. Though not highly contagious, leprosy can cause nerve damage and deformities if left untreated. However, early diagnosis and treatment can prevent disability and ensure a normal life for the affected individual.

  DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for building and maintaining an organism, from the simplest bacteria to the most complex animals and plants. It's like a recipe book containing the instructions for everything an organism needs to grow, function, and reproduce.

What is cybercrime?  Cybercrime refers to criminal activity that involves computers, networks, and digital devices. It's essentially any illegal act that targets a computer system or electronic data. It can lead to financial losses, identity theft, damage to reputation, and disruption of critical infrastructure.

  The Wonderful World of Ecosystems: Understanding Our Environment Everything on Earth, from the tallest trees to the tiniest insects, interacts with each other and their surroundings. This web of life is called an ecosystem . It's like a grand theatre play, where every living thing (biotic) and non-living thing (abiotic) plays a crucial role.

  Nourishing the Earth: Vermicompost and FYM for Enhanced Soil Health Soil, the foundation of terrestrial life, plays a pivotal role in food security and ecosystem sustainability. Maintaining healthy soil is crucial for optimal plant growth and agricultural productivity. Vermicompost and Farm Yard Manure (FYM) are two organic amendments that have gained significant attention due to their ability to improve soil health. 

  Safeguarding Our Environment: The Air and Water Acts of India Clean air and water are fundamental necessities for life. Unfortunately, human activities can pollute these resources, posing a threat to human health and ecological balance. Recognizing this critical issue, India enacted two landmark legislations: The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, and The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. Let's delve into these acts, understanding their purpose, key provisions, and their significance in protecting our environment.
