Image credit: ANI NEW DELHI: India, which harboured nearly 8% of global biodiversity within only about 2.4% of the world’s land area, emerged as the leader in issuing Internationally Recognised Certificates of Compliance (IRCCs) for granting access to genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge under a global protocol, accounting for 60% of all such certificates issued worldwide, a progress report on implementation of the Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) during the 2017-25 showed.The report, released by the environment ministry on the occasion of the International Day for Biological Diversity in Bhopal on May 22, underlined that India published 3,556 IRCCs, which accounted for 60% of the global issuance.”This reflects India’s commitment to compliance for effective monitoring under the Nagoya Protocol. The ABS mechanism has resulted in the generation of both monetary and non-monetary benefits,” it said.The Protocol, called the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilisation (Nagoya Protocol on ABS), was adopted in 2010 and was in force since 2014. It provided the operational framework for the implementation of ABS.In India, ABS was a statutory mechanism under the Biological Diversity Act, 2002, which ensured that benefits arising from the commercial use of biological resources and associated traditional knowledge were shared fairly and equitably with grassroots-level communities and knowledge holders.Under the Protocol, countries granting access to genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge were required to issue IRCCs. These certificates served as official evidence that ‘prior informed consent’ had been obtained and that ‘mutually agreed terms’ had been established between users and providers of genetic resources.Latest data showed only 34 out of 142 countries registered on the ABS clearing-house issued IRCCs. India was followed by France with 964 certificates, Spain (320), Argentina (257), Panama (156) and Kenya (144).IRCCs played a crucial role in tracking how genetic resources were used, from research and innovation to eventual commercial applications, ensuring that benefits were shared fairly with the provider country.The report also said Rs 263 crore was realised in India through National Biodiversity Authority (NBA) approvals, of which Rs 145 crore was disbursed to beneficiaries including Biodiversity Management Committees, local communities, and farmers, supporting conservation initiatives and strengthening livelihoods.India, being a biodiversity rich country, acted as a provider country by permitting, with terms and conditions, access to biological resources and knowledge to entities in countries such as France, USA, Spain, Brazil, UAE, China, and Netherlands for research and development followed by commercial utilisation.In his address on the occasion to mark the International Day for Biological Diversity, Union environment minister Bhupender Yadav noted that meaningful global outcomes can emerge only through strong local action, community participation and sustainable lifestyles.Observing that community-led conservation traditions such as sacred groves, folk varieties, landraces and local stewardship practices demonstrate the deep cultural and ecological relationship between people and nature, the minister noted that conservation thinking has already evolved from focusing only on single species to protecting the entire spectrum of life and interconnected ecosystems.The ministry also released India’s National Report on Biodiversity – 2026, encapsulating the key findings and highlights of the country’s seventh National Report (NR-7) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in February.The report claimed India has strengthened its conservation network with expanded forest and tree cover, Ramsar wetlands, and a robust Protected Area system. “Significant progress has also been made in agrobiodiversity conservation, Access and Benefit Sharing, and community engagement through Biodiversity Management Committees (BMCs),” it said.India’s NR-7 reported that all 23 National Biodiversity Targets (NBTs) are currently “on track to achieve”, demonstrating strong alignment between national priorities and global biodiversity commitments.The country’s 23 targets primarily focused on reducing threats to biodiversity throughmitigating the direct drivers of habitat loss, climate change, and pollution; and on meeting people’s needs through sustainable use of resources and equitable benefit-sharing.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosAustralia’s Foreign Minister To Visit India For Quad Foreign Ministers’ Meeting In DelhiDelhi Gymkhana Club Members Prepare Legal Battle Against Government Eviction OrderClam Collection Turns Fatal In Karnataka: 10 Dead, 1 Missing Near Alvekodi RiverFuel Prices Rise Sharply, As Petrol And Diesel See Fourth Hike In Less Than Two Weeks’I Feel Very Bad’: Mamata Reacts After Football Statue Removal From Kolkata StadiumMamata Alleges EVM Rigging, Vote Looting As BJP Wins Falta Repoll; Says INDIA Bloc May Meet In JuneBengal CM Suvendu Adhikari Asks Districts To Set Up ‘Holding Centres’ For Illegal ImmigrantsHome Minister Amit Shah To Review India-Pakistan Border Security In RajasthanTwisha Sharma’s Last Rites Performed In Bhopal As Supreme Court Steps Into Alleged Dowry Death CaseSonam Wangchuk Says Ladakh Was “Heading Towards Another Manipur”, Trust Deficit Still Remains123PhotostoriesBest Peacock series to add to your watch list right now, from thrillers to mystery dramas10 rare animals found in the Amazon River basinA pinch too much: The silent weight of salt on a beating heart8 pink-coloured attractions around the world every traveller should visit once5 money habits parents should start teaching from a young age7 animals you didn’t know are amphibiansLucky paintings that can bring positivity and prosperity home; According to VastuColon cancer in young: 4 early warning signs you should not ignore, according to a Harvard doctor6 incredible Indian villages where humans and wildlife coexist closelyKim Kardashian’s home is all things minimal in textures: 5 art inspirations to take away123Hot PicksDelhi heatwaveRailway Group D Result 2026Naseer BestUPSC prelims 2026Mumbai local train newsBihar Sonu Monu GangBengal bakrid holidayTop TrendingKarnataka NEET Aspirant SuicideTwisha SharmaCBSE Revaluation Photocopy ProcessBhagwant MannRishabh PantJEE Advanced Response SheetIPL Orange Cap 2026Megan Thee StallionDelhi Gymkhana ClubWest Bengal Annapurna Yojana

MEA NEW DELHI: Govt on Tuesday trashed Pakistani defence minister Khawaja Asif’s remarks threatening war against India over suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, describing them as a desperate attempt by Islamabad to divert attention from its own failings and human rights record. “We have seen some reports on the matter. Such remarks are desperate attempts by Pakistan to cover up its own failings and deflect attention away from its human rights abuses,” ministry of external affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. “We categorically reject these fabricated claims.”Jaiswal said ongoing protests in PoK stem from Pakistan’s “systemic economic exploitation, denial of fundamental rights, and administrative oppression” in the region. He alleged Pakistan responded with brutality, including supply blockades, net blackouts and lethal force against civilians.On Bangladesh’s protest over adviser Zahed Ur Rahman being stopped at Delhi airport, Jaiswal said he was questioned, later permitted entry, but chose to return to Dhaka.Get the latest India news and live updates.

PTI photo In a risky operation on the high seas, Indian Navy safely disposed of an unexploded warhead recovered from the fuel storage compartment of a missile-hit crude oil tanker 50 nautical miles off the Kochi coast.The operation was conducted when the vessel was sailing to Kochi from UAE’s Fujairah, the defence ministry said on Thursday.The Navy responded when the Marshall Islands-flagged MT Olympic Life reported an explosion on its port side aft at 09.45 UTC (3.15pm IST) on May 26 while sailing around 60 nautical miles east of Oman, as per UK Maritime Trade Operations data.It is still not known who fired the missile.While reporting about the unexploded ordnance, MT Olympic Life, which can carry roughly two million barrels of crude oil, continued towards Kochi. MoD said there was no Indian among the crew.The Navy team adopted a deliberate and phased approach to ensure the safety of the ship, its crew and surrounding port infrastructure.Projectile penetrated vessel’s hull, was lodged in fuel tankOn receiving the information, the Navy initiated a coordinated response. Kochi-based Southern Naval Command deployed a specialist explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) team for detailed assessment, the ministry said. The team confirmed that a projectile had penetrated the vessel’s hull, traversed multiple structural compartments and was lodged inside the fuel tank, it said.The EOD team employed advanced diagnostic methods to identify and isolate the detonation mechanism before carrying out the safe extraction of the warhead along with associated debris. The recovered ordnance has been transported to a secure facility for safe stowage and detailed examination, the Navy said.After the removal of the warhead, the tanker safely arrived at Kochi port on Wednesday, and is currently docked there. All crew members and the tanker are safe.The ministry said the Navy’s prompt response, to an emergency at sea, irrespective of the nationality of the crew or the ownership of MT Olympic Life, reaffirms its role as a responsible maritime force dedicated to global maritime safety and a trusted and preferred security partner in the region.Get the latest India news and live updates.

NEW DELHI: A controversy in the US over chemicals in activewear has raised fresh concerns about what Indians are wearing to the gym, with experts warning that the issue goes beyond comfort to potential health risks.”Most activewear is made from plastic-based polymers that can release chemicals with potential endocrine effects, but in India, we lack the tools to measure this exposure. What we do see clearly is skin impact – synthetic, tight clothing in hot conditions often leads to fungal infections, irritation, and higher absorption in areas of natural occlusion like the groin and buttocks,” said Dr Kabir Sardana, a professor of dermatology. The trigger came from an April 13 announcement by Texas attorney general Ken Paxton, who said certain sportswear products are being investigated for chemicals that may interfere with the endocrine system. The development has sharpened focus on endocrine-disrupting chemicals, used in fabrics for stretch, sweat-wicking and odour resistance.In India, where synthetic gym wear has become the norm and regulation of textile chemicals remains patchy, the concern is particularly relevant. Chemicals like PFAS and phthalates – linked globally to hormone disruption – are widely used in textile processing. From global labels to home-grown players, most activewear sold in India relies on chemically treated fabrics.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

NEW DELHI: A controversy in the US over chemicals in activewear has raised fresh concerns about what Indians are wearing to the gym, with experts warning that the issue goes beyond comfort to potential health risks.”Most activewear is made from plastic-based polymers that can release chemicals with potential endocrine effects, but in India, we lack the tools to measure this exposure. What we do see clearly is skin impact – synthetic, tight clothing in hot conditions often leads to fungal infections, irritation, and higher absorption in areas of natural occlusion like the groin and buttocks,” said Dr Kabir Sardana, a professor of dermatology. The trigger came from an April 13 announcement by Texas attorney general Ken Paxton, who said certain sportswear products are being investigated for chemicals that may interfere with the endocrine system. The development has sharpened focus on endocrine-disrupting chemicals, used in fabrics for stretch, sweat-wicking and odour resistance.In India, where synthetic gym wear has become the norm and regulation of textile chemicals remains patchy, the concern is particularly relevant. Chemicals like PFAS and phthalates – linked globally to hormone disruption – are widely used in textile processing. From global labels to home-grown players, most activewear sold in India relies on chemically treated fabrics.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

NTA ‘significantly’ expanded the pool from which the final 180-question paper was drawn NEW DELHI: A larger question bank, more paper-setters and restrictions ensuring nobody can know or see the final paper formed the core of the redesigned question-setting system for the June 21 NEET-UG retest – a part of the high-security process undertaken following a leak that led to the medical entrance exam’s cancellation in May.National Testing Agency (NTA) “significantly” expanded the pool from which the final 180-question paper was drawn and increased the number of experts drafting questions, sources said. The aim was to reduce the value of partial access at the source. Under the revised system, a question written by an expert could be used in the retest, kept for another exam, or not used at all.The shift was from guarding only the printed paper to guarding paper-making. If questions come from a small pool, anyone who sees a part of these can claim to know the exam. But if the pool is larger, little can be inferred.The cancelled May 3 paper reportedly overlapped with a pre-circulated guess paper on more than 120 questions. “If the pool is small, even a so-called guess paper can come dangerously close to the final paper,” an official familiar with the process said.Officials said experts were asked to contribute to the central question bank without being told how, when or whether their questions would be used in the final NEET paper. In this system – designed to ensure that no individual has a complete view of questions – experts don’t even know if their submitted questions are meant for NEET, JEE or another test – or for which sitting. The new architecture strips value from any insider who claims to “know” the paper.Investigators are examining whether the breach took place during the confidential paper-setting process, and not merely during transport or at an exam centre.Security around delivery has also been overhauled in parallel. Over five lakh personnel will be deployed, with CCTV and AI-based surveillance at centres, Aadhaar biometric verification of candidates, and question papers flown in by the IAF. Officials said the larger bank was also the groundwork for the shift of NEET-UG to computer-based testing from 2027.Get the latest India news and live updates.
