I have been reading many questions expressed in various postings and articles on social media about one of the most transformative schemes of the Govt - One Nation One Subscription (ONOS). I have attempted to answer many of them in this post.
Read the thread-

@DrJitendraSingh @IndiaDST @EduMinOfIndia @PrinSciAdvGoI 1. How will the ONOS scheme be better than the earlier system of institutional subscription?

The scheme enables access to ALL journals of 30 publishers (about 13400 of them) to about 1.8 Crore registered users of more than 6300 government academic & R&D institutions, including central and state public universities.

Indian Institute of Astrophysics @IIABengaluru, an autonomous body under @IndiaDST, has played a crucial role in the #SuryaTilak Project at #Ayodhya. Sunlight was directed onto the forehead of Sri Ram Lalla at 12 noon on April 17, 2024, on the occasion of Sri #RamNavami in the Chaitra month, and this ritual will be repeated every year. The team led by @IIABengaluru carried out calculations of the Sun's position, designed and optimized the optical system, and performed the integration and alignment at the site.

To celebrate the 75 years of India’s independence, here are 75 innovative products that showcase the fervor of incubated startups @IITKanpur.
1. Noccarc V310 was developed by @Noccarc under the technical guidance of @IncubatorIITK within 90 days.
@narendramodi @dpradhanbjp
1/75 2. Acqua front Infrastructure @aipl14 under IIT Kanpur’s versatile guidance and support from seven corporate, foundations and government partners; executed the successful installation of ten #oxygen plants in five Indian states within 90 days.

A team of researchers under Prof. Braj Bhushan & Prof. Shatarupa Thakurta Roy @IITKanpur & Dr Alok Bajpai have developed an assistive application to help children with learning & writing disabilities commonly known as #Dyslexia & #Dysgraphia.
vimeo.com/739177083 According to the data available, India has a large number of children with undiagnosed Dyslexia and Dysgraphia, which hampers the development and learning of the children.

Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is jointly conducted by @iitbombay, @iitdelhi , @IITGuwahati, @IITKanpur, @IITKgp, @iitmadras, @iitroorkee and @iiscbangalore. @IITKanpur is the organising institute for #GATE2023. #GATE2023 will be a computer-based test (CBT). It will be conducted in twenty-nine subject areas with the choice of selecting two papers in some subjects.

Today, the medical robots have prohibitively high cost due to the deployment of numerous servo-motors for their operation. These motors also increase the size and weight of the robots significantly. In order to reduce the cost, size & weight of the robots, Prof Bishakh Bhattacharya & his team has taken inspiration from human muscle structure and developed a new artificial muscle system using wires with memory which can generate at least three times more force per unit weight

Inventors from @IITKanpur and @MIT have been granted a joint Indian patent for a unique #water purification device, “A Vessel and A Method for Purifying Water and Monitoring Quality of Water”.
#cleanwater An inexpensive, zero maintenance,easy to manufacture, dry & compact device that has applications in #waterpurification & monitoring and dry sample preservation of micro #water pollutants. This device can purify #drinkingwater & has applications in the food & beverage industry.

Here is big news from @IITKanpur
In an extraordinary gesture, our alumnus Mr Rakesh Gangwal, Co-Founder of IndiGo airlines has made one of the largest personal donations with a 100 crore contribution focused on supporting the School of Medical Sciences & Technology at IIT Kanpur We are grateful to Mr Rakesh Gangwal, Mrs Shobha Gangwal and his daughter Ms Parul Gangwal who could take time and be present in person for the agreement signing in Mumbai today.

What India (#TSDSI) has done in #5G? What is #5Gi? It has largely escaped main stream media attention in India. We focus so poorly on our scientific achievements 😀. Here is a Thread-
@AshwiniVaishnaw @PrinSciAdvGoI @GoI_MeitY @DoT_India @TSDSI_India @PBNS_India @TRAI 1. ITU defined the requirements of IMT 2020- official ITU name of 5G. Rural enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) configuration focused on intersite distance of 1.7 Km & 120/500 km/hour speed of vehicles - a speed unthinkable in rural India😀. A requirement unsuitable for #India.

Today we celebrated the 54th Convocation Day of @IITKanpur. It was a privilege to have Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji as the Chief Guest. Hon’ble Chief Minister Uttar Pradesh Shri Yogi Adityanath Ji was also present. Hon’ble Prime Minister gave Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa) degrees to Prof Rohini M. Godbole , Shri Senapathy ‘Kris’ Gopalakrishnan and Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty.

.@IITKanpur has always been contributing to the projects of national interest. I feel proud to share that we have contributed our bit to the #KashiVishwanathDham. Our incubated company Acquafront Infrastructure has successfully deployed a patented technology “Self Adjusting Fixed Type Jetty (SAFTJ)” to construct world’s first floating #CNG filling station for #ecofriendly boats on the Khidkiya Ghat, Varanasi.

I am delighted to share that Prof Jayant Kumar Singh, Department of Chemical Engineering and his team have developed a first of its kind portable soil testing device that can detect soil health in just 90 seconds through an embedded mobile application, Bhu Parikshak. The rapid soil testing device will assist farmers in obtaining soil health parameters of agricultural fields with a recommended dose of fertilizers. The mobile application is made available in local languages, and the device is designed keeping in mind the ease of use for farmers

Some of the best scientific minds of India shared some findings today in a virtual press conference on the mathematical model “#COVID_19 India National Supermodel”. It is significant that such models are being used by the policymakers to serve as input in making decisions. The committee accessed:
1. Potential impact of the lockdown measures - did it help reduce the peak load on our healthcare system, and thus gave time to build on our capacity
2. Assess the impact of migrant labourers travelling back to their places of origin in May and June
