Agriculture Census is a large scale periodic, Government sponsored operation for the collection and derivation of quantitative information about nation’s agriculture, using the agricultural operational holding as the statistical unit. The operational holding is defined as “all land which is wholly or partly used for agriculture production, and is operated as one technical unit by one person alone or with others without regard to title, legal form, size or location.” A technical unit is defined as that unit which is under the same management and has the same means of production such as labor force, machinery and animals. Agricultural production includes growing of field crops, fruits, grapes, seeds, tree nurseries (except those of forest trees), vegetables and flowers, production of coffee, tea, cocoa, rubber, jute, oilseeds, fodder grass etc. Grass would be treated as a crop if special efforts are made to raise it.
In India, the Department of Agriculture & Cooperation is organising Agricultural Census quinquennially since 1970-71, in collaboration with the States and Union Territories on the recommendation of Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations as a part of World Agricultural Census. The World Agricultural Census programme aimed at obtaining the data for different countries so as to fill up the lacunae in Agricultural Statistics and also to me them internationally comparable.
The Census is done in three phases:
• In the first phase information on number and area of the operational holding according to the size, area, gender and social groups of holder are collected In the hill districts where land record is not maintained, data is collected in 20% sample village through door to door enquiry method.
• In the second phase of the census, data is collected in 20% sample villages. In this phase detailed information about the structure of holdings is collected viz. information on tenancy status, area leased in terms of leasing, area under different land use, crop and source wise area irrigated and un-irrigated and disposal of operated area, which is then estimated for the State.
The information is collected in the following broad groups:
a) Gender wise number and area of operational holdings by specified size groups and their dispersals.
b) Tenancy status Size class wise.
c) Area under different land use size class wise in six fold classification.
d) Cropping pattern such as cropped once or more than once etc.
e) Crop-wise and source-wise area irrigated/un-irrigated size class wise. The information so collected were compiled for three social groups viz. scheduled caste, scheduled tribes and other than scheduled caste and scheduled tribes and institutional holding separately.
• The third phase of the Agriculture Census is known as the Input survey. Input survey is done in only 7 percent sample villages of the total villages of the State. The 7% villages are selected by selecting 35% villages randomly out of the 20% TRS villages which were already selected for the 2nd phase of Agricultural Census 2005- 06 and data is collected on the pattern of Input used for various crops. The information is collected with respect of:
a) Multiple cropping
b) Application of chemical fertilizer and pesticides
c) Live-stocks
d) Agricultural machineries
e) Seeds
f) Agricultural credit and IPM (Integrated Pest Management)

Scientists Created World’s First Digital Atlas of Brain
Scientists at the Berkeley Lab in their first major breakthrough made possible to get the close view of how a brain develops as well as functions. The scientists would also be able to find out which part of brain is an absentee during the neurological disorders such as epilepsy, autism and schizophrenia. In their major breakthrough, the scientists created the first of its kind genome-wide digital atlas of gene enhancers that are found in the brain.
Genomes, as described by the scientists are the switches which help a gene in getting information about when and where they should be switched on or off. The world’s first atlas of this kind documents the cerebrum, motor functions as well as emotion identifies and also find out various gene-regulating elements that form the basic causes of neurological disorders.
A geneticist with Berkeley Lab's genomics division, Axel Visel described that the most challenging tasks of the contemporary science is to understand the functioning or malfunctioning of the brain. Therefore, they created the digital atlas of gene enhancers in the human brain. This atlas enabled the scientists to get a detailed study about how the individual genes can be regulated during the development of a brain and also how the genetic mutations can create an impact on the human neurological disorders.
The gene enhancers in reality are the short pieces of DNA in human genome, rather than the actual genes. Therefore these enhancers do not give rise to the proteins. Actually, they are the switches which are used to inform actual genes when they should become active and create a protein. Every cell type of human body composes of different sets of enhancers which are switched on or off. Together, these can help in coordination of activities of 20000 genes in every single cell.

Government clears death for rape-murder
The Union Cabinet has cleared an ordinance for tougher anti-rape laws and recommended death penalty or imprisonment for the remainder of a convict's life in extreme cases such as aggravated sex crimes leading to death or a persistent vegetative state for the victim.
Reports has replaced the word "rape" by the term "sexual assault" and acid attacks, use of criminal force and stalking have been included under that. The government though has omitted a recommendation made by the Justice Verma panel that sexual assault in a marriage also be included in the definition of rape.
The ordinance provides for a new crime of gangrape, which will be punishable with a minimum prison term of 20 years provided it is proved that more than one person was involved in the crime. Anyone convicted for throwing acid will be jailed for a minimum of 10 years that may extend to life imprisonment and a fine of Rs 10 lakh. A man who rapes his estranged wife during separation can be jailed for seven years while those convicted for the new crimes of stalking, voyeurism and intentionally touching a girl or woman with sexual intent will get a minimum jail term of one year.
The ordinance also provides for an amendment in the Indian Penal Code to define trafficking, which will be punishable with a jail term of no less than seven years and may extend to life imprisonment. Employment of trafficked persons will also be a penal crime now.
Public servants who knowingly don't act to prevent rape or refuse to take cognisance of a rape case will be jailed for between one and five years. The ordinance also says that a rape victim's moral character can't be questioned during trial.
However, the government has not accepted the Verma panel recommendation about paying compensation to victims of sexual assault. It has also not accepted the panel's suggestion to keep rape gender-specific to women. Further the cabinet has also rejected the doing away with the provision for obtaining sanction for prosecuting a police or armed forces personnel in areas where the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) is in force in cases of sexual crimes. The government has also rejected the proposal that sought to fix criminal responsibility on the leader of a force for a sexual crime committed by a subordinate.
The ordinance must now be promulgated by the President.

World Press Freedom Index 2013
The Press Freedom Index is an annual ranking of countries compiled and published by Reporters Without Borders based upon the organization's assessment of the countries' press freedom records in the previous year. A smaller score in the index corresponds to greater freedom of the press.
This year’s index is a better reflection of the attitudes and intentions of governments towards media freedom in the medium or long term.
For the third year running, Finland has distinguished itself as the country that most respects media freedom. It is followed by the Netherlands and Norway. Although many criteria are considered, ranging from legislation to violence against journalists, democratic countries occupy the top of the index while dictatorial countries occupy the last three positions. Again it is the same three as last year – Turkmenistan, North Korea and Eritrea.
India has dropped nine places to 140th rank in the list of 179 countries because of increasing impunity for violence against journalists and because Internet censorship continues to grow. It is the lowest for the “world’s biggest democracy” since 2002. China (173rd, +1) shows no sign of improving. Its prisons still hold many journalists and netizens, while increasingly unpopular Internet censorship continues to be a major obstacle to access to information.
The Press Freedom Index published by Reporters Without Borders does not take direct account of the kind of political system but it is clear that democracies provide better protection for the freedom to produce and circulate accurate news and information than countries where human rights are flouted. In dictatorships, news providers and their families are exposed to ruthless reprisals, while in democracies news providers have to cope with the media’s economic crises and conflicts of interest.
Coinciding with the release of its 2013 Press Freedom Index, Reporters Without Borders for the first time has published an annual global “indicator” of worldwide media freedom. This new analytic tool measures the overall level of freedom of information in the world and the performance of the world’s governments in their entirety as regards this key freedom In view of the emergence of new technologies and the interdependence of governments and peoples, the freedom to produce and circulate news and information needs to be evaluated at the planetary as well as national level. Today, in 2013, the media freedom “indicator” stands at 3395, a point of reference for the years to come.
The indicator can also be broken down by region and, by means of weighting based on the population of each region, can be used to produce a score from zero to 100 in which zero represents total respect for media freedom. This produces a score of 17.5 for Europe, 30.0 for the Americas, 34.3 for Africa, 42.2 for Asia-Pacific and 45.3 for the former Soviet republics. Despite the Arab springs, the Middle East and North Africa region comes last with 48.5.
The high number of journalists and netizens killed in the course of their work in 2012 (the deadliest year ever registered by Reporters Without Borders in its annual roundup), naturally had a significant impact on the ranking of the countries where these murders took place, above all Somalia (175th, -11), Syria (176th, 0), Mexico (153rd, -4) and Pakistan (159th, -8).
