Indigenously developed Lumpi-ProVac vax to tackle Lumpy Skin Disease
Aiming to ensure large-scale production of vaccine for controlling Lumpy Skin Disease, a partnership was signed in the presence of Parshottam Rupala, Union Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, the Chief Minister and Deputy CM of Maharashtra.
The Minister said that this MoU will also ensure large-scale production of Goat Pox vaccine for future needs of India’s livestock sector. Currently, Goat Pox vaccine is used for controlling Lumpy Skin Disease in animals and this has been proven effective against Lumpy.
National Centre for Veterinary Type Culture, ICAR-National Research Centre on Equines (ICAR-NRCE), Hisar (Haryana), in collaboration with ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI), Izatnagar (Uttar Pradesh) developed a homologous live-attenuated LSD vaccine, named Lumpi-ProVac.
Agrinnovate India Limited (AgIn), the commercial arm of DARE, Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare granted “Non-Exclusive Rights” for Commercial production of “Lumpi-ProVac”, to Institute of Veterinary Biological Products (IVBP), Pune on Saturday.
Lumpi-ProVac is safe in animals and induces LSDV-specific antibody-and cell-mediated immune response, besides providing complete protection against lethal LSDV challenge.
The vaccine is used for the prophylactic immunization of animals against Lumpy Skin Disease, which illicit protection for about one year.
While the vaccine is stored at 4 degrees Celsius, it must be shipped on ice and must be used within a few hours after reconstitution. The patent has been filed by the ICAR for the technology.
The Lumpy Skin Disease has been reported in various parts of the country from 2019 while the first case was reported in the state of Odisha.
After that, it has spread to multiple states in the country.
In 2019, deaths of a large number of cattle has been reported from different states with high morbidity, especially in the North-West region of the country.
The disease has been controlled and contained with the available Goatpox vaccine in the country.
Considering the heavy production losses and mortality of a sizable number of cattle, the ICAR has initiated research on development of indigenous homologous vaccine against Lumpy Skin Disease.

Kharat has now made a big prediction about himself. According to sources, Ashok Kharat predicted his future and said, “My death is here.” Many people have claimed that he is not safe in police custody yet, and now it is clear from Kharat’s words that he has also started feeling that he will not be able to get out of here alive. On the other hand, social activist Anjali Damania has made a big statement in this matter. Damania has claimed that in the case of the fraudster Kharat, one of the names is “Shizuka Nodi” who received several phone calls. The fraudster Ashok Kharat has also mentioned the name of Shizuka Nodi in his investigation. Damania has made a serious allegation that big people are involved behind it. Damania also raised the question of why Chakankar called him so many times, while reiterating that Rupali Chakankar has 177 calls, but she has not been summoned yet.
Kharat’s life in danger.
In the current situation, Ashok Kharat’s life is in danger, this statement was given by him during his detention. Damania said that now we are afraid that he can be eliminated to end all this. Saying that more information should not be revealed in this matter, therefore his life is in danger, so he should be provided with protection.
Black magic outside Ajit Dada’s house
Damania said that on November 18, a case of black magic came to light outside the house of late leader Ajit Pawar, currently I am focusing on it.

Marathi requirement for permits and licenses for rickshaw and taxi drivers is absolutely wrong, Marathi language should be taught first: Abu Asim

Mumbai: Marathi is not mandatory for permits and licenses for rickshaw and taxi drivers in Maharashtra. Every state has its own language. It should be mandatory. But before that, if Marathi is to be made mandatory, then first schools should be opened to teach Marathi and teach Marathi to those who are not proficient in it. Every country speaks its own language, so where will the national language Hindi be spoken? Every state in this country has its own language, like Marathi in Maharashtra, Malayalam in Kerala, Assamese in Assam, but there is no need to force anyone to speak any language. If you want to learn Marathi, give them books, give them classes, don’t force them. Unemployment is common in the country. If someone comes to Mumbai and Maharashtra from another state, he has the right to earn a living. However, it is not right to impose the condition of only Marathi being mandatory. It is also necessary to provide employment opportunities. If Marathi has mandatory status in the state, then classes should be given to teach this language. Politics should not be done in the name of Marathi. This also tarnishes the image of the state because violence has been committed against the residents who do not know Marathi many times. Therefore, such situations should not be created and to prevent such a situation from arising, the state language should be taught to them and then they should be provided with licenses and permits.
