·       By virtue of this Article, the court can grant special leave to appeal from any judgment, decree, determination, sentence, or order in any cause or matter, passed or made by any court or tribunal in the territory of India (with the exception of military tribunals and court martial).

·       An SLP can be filed for any civil or criminal matter, etc.

·       It can be filed within 60 days against the order of the High Court refusing to grant the certificate of fitness for appeal to SC.

·       As per the scheme, individuals, industries, farmers producer’s organisations (FPOs), urban local bodies (ULB), gram panchayats, and the private sector, among a host of other entities, will be able to earn green credit for undertaking environment-friendly actions.

·       Green credits generated through such actions can be traded on a domestic market platform.

·       These Green Credits will be over and above the current discourse of carbon credits. Any activity generating green credits under the GCP will also receive carbon credits under the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme if it leads to the reduction or removal of carbon emissions.

·       Implementing Agency: The Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education (ICFRE), an autonomous organisation under the MoEFCC, is responsible for effectively implementing the Green Credit programme, including its management and operation.

Phases:

·       The programme will be implemented in phases.

·       In the initial phase, two to three activities from the chosen sectors will be considered, and more activities will be added subsequently.

·       The therapy represents a quantum leap in the sophistication of cancer treatment.

·       Unlike chemotherapy or immunotherapy, which requires mass-produced injectable or oral medication, CAR T-cell therapies use a patient’s own cells.

·       They are modified in the laboratory to activate T-cells, a component of immune cells, to attack tumours.

·       These modified cells are then infused back into the patient’s bloodstream after conditioning them to multiply more effectively.

·       As of today, CAR T-cell therapy has been approved for leukaemias (cancers arising from the cells that produce white blood cells) and lymphomas (arising from the lymphatic system).

How does it work?

·       In this therapy, the patient’s blood is drawn to harvest T-cells – immune cells that play a major role in destroying tumour cells.

·       Researchers modify these cells in the laboratory so that they express specific proteins on their surface, known as chimeric antigen receptors (CAR): they have an affinity for proteins on the surface of tumour cells.

·       This modification in the cellular structure allows CAR T-cells to effectively bind to the tumour and destroy it.

·       The final step in the tumour’s destruction involves its clearance by the patient’s immune system.

·       In CAR T-cell therapy, the immune system is activated when the modified T-cells are reintroduced into the body, which allows a gradual and sustained tumour kill as these cells multiply.

·       It aims to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among young professionals from diverse countries”.

Features:

·       The dashboard provides valuable insights and graphical information about State-wise/ District-wise visits to the North Eastern Region by Union Ministers to be used by all the stake holders in one place.

·       The portal generates a curated list of Ministers who can be nominated for visit to NER in the upcoming months.

·       After the visit, the Minister can submit their tour reports along with their recommendations online.

·       MDoNER can forward the recommendations to respective line Ministries/Departments/State Governments for quick action, after analyzing the same. The Portal generates the summary report on the visits by a single click.
