However, there exist a plethora of bacteria which are highly beneficial and crucial to the existence of mankind. . We have failed to realize their significance, their positive impact on our life and their contribution towards sustaining life on earth since the beginning of time.

Sanitation And Cultural Beliefs: The Indian Dilemma

Sanitation is a vital part of human everyday life. We need to perform our bodily ablutions as a matter of routine, physiological processes to eliminate the waste from our body. Urine and feces are the end products of our metabolism. It is, however, also very important to properly dispose off this bodily waste, for both aesthetic and health reasons. Properly disposed off feces and urine ensure a clean, odourless environment, as well as prevent diseases due to microbes, like fecal coliform bacteria.

Biogas – A Renewable Energy Resource

People across the world are debating the existence and effects of climate change, even when its impact is already evident. The use of renewable energy is the most logical solution to tackle climate change. Anaerobic digestion and biogas generation both provide us the platform to tackle multiple environmental issues such as solid waste management, carbon emission, and energy crisis, and also contribute in lowering the adverse impact of climate change.

Nurture Women’s Dignity With Care!

Access to clean toilets, with running water, electricity and sewerage connection, is a major issue for women and girls in India. Despite the fact that urination and defecation are basic bodily functions, 70% of households in rural and urban slums lack access to functioning toilets. 60% of the country still defecates in the open, with consequences ranging from polluted water bringing fatal infections to the women and children using it, to women carrying extreme risk of being sexually assaulted.

Happy Gut, Healthy Animal – Probiotics For A Better Microbiome

Animal husbandry has evolved since the dawn of human civilization. Rising demand for products and byproducts from animal husbandry is owed to the exponential increase in the global population. In order to meet these demands, animal husbandry professional have resorted to various practices to increase the yield. Just like us, animal health is governed not only by the feed that is provided to them, but also internally, by the millions of tiny microscopic beings residing within their gut.

Organic Farming – Taking A Cue From Traditional Indian Agricultural Practices

The rampant use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers has brought about a decline in soil fertility and crop health across the world. Crops today are more prone to diseases, deficiencies etc. This realization has marked the advent of organic farming globally. Organic foods boast of being residue free and are much costlier than locally available produce. But is organic farming really a new age concept?

Tackling Ammonia In Effluents

In recent times, due to the limited availability of water resources and rapid industrialization, it is mandatory to preserve water quality. Ammonia is one of the most common pollutant observed in industrial and agricultural effluents. It is used as a bleaching agent in chemical industries and also in production of fertilizers, plastics and explosives. In effluents ammonia exists in equilibrium with ammonium ions. The concentration of ammonia gas increases with increase in pH and temperature. At neutral pH most of the ammonia exists as dissolved ammonium ions, but as the pH increases to 12, both ammonium ions and gaseous ammonia coexist in the effluent. The estimation of Ammonia in effluents is generally carried out by Nessler’s method and is determined as Ammonical Nitrogen (NH3-N) in ppm.
