Current Affairs 12 November 2023

Public Service Broadcasting Day

Public Service Broadcasting Day is being celebrated on 12th November every year to commemorate the only visit of Mahatma Gandhi to All India Radio in Delhi in 1947.
On 12 November 1947, Mahatma Gandhi addressed the displaced people (a refugee from Pakistan), who had temporarily settled at Kurukshetra in Haryana after partition.
Gandhiji had reportedly said that he saw the medium of radio as Shakti, the miraculous power of God.

Gandhiji began his speech saying, “My brothers and sisters who are suffering, I do not know if only you or some other people are also listening to it.
The day was declared as Public Service Broadcasting Day or (Jan Prasaran Diwas) in 2001, after it was conceptualised by Suhas Borker, Convenor, Jan Prasar.
Prasar Bharati has been given the responsibility of public service broadcasting, deepen democratic traditions and provide opportunities to all diverse communities and cultures.
Mahatma Gandhi had decided to visit the studio of All India Radio, to convey his message through radio, as he couldn’t visit refugees of Partition stationed at Kurukshetra in Haryana.

India Supports UN Resolution

Less than two weeks after it abstained on a Jordanian-drafted resolution on the Israel-Hamas conflict, India was among 145 countries which voted in favour of a United Nations resolution that condemned Israeli settlement activities in “the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in the occupied Syrian Golan”.

The UN draft resolution, titled “Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and the occupied Syrian Golan”, was passed with overwhelming majority on November 9.
While seven countries — United States, Canada, Hungary, Israel, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia and Nauru — voted against the resolution, 18 abstained from voting.
With the resolution, the UN condemned settlement activities in the areas, and any activities involving the confiscation of land, disruption of livelihood of protected persons, forced transfer of civilians, and annexation of land, whether de facto or through national legislation

Monkey Chimera

Chinese scientists have achieved a significant milestone in the realm of genetic research by creating a monkey chimera with two sets of DNA.
This experimental breakthrough could have far-reaching implications for medical research and the conservation of endangered species.

The project, which involved combining stem cells from a cynomolgus monkey with a genetically distinct embryo from the same species, yielded a substantially chimeric primate.
This achievement opens new avenues for understanding biological processes, modeling diseases, and advancing medical science.
However, it also raises ethical concerns regarding the use of nonhuman primates in scientific research.

Uttarakhand 1^st State To Adopt Uniform Civil Code

Uttarakhand is on the brink of making history as it prepares to become the first state in India to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC).
In a move towards legal uniformity and gender equality, the state government is set to convene a special session post-Diwali to clear the UCC Bill, marking a significant departure from the diverse personal laws that currently govern citizens based on their religious affiliations.

The Uniform Civil Code falls under Article 44 of the Constitution, advocating for a uniform civil code across the country’s territory.
However, as Article 37 clarifies, directive principles are guiding principles for government policies and are not enforceable by courts.
The UCC proposal is a significant step toward legal modernization and aligns with the constitutional directive to work towards a uniform civil code for all citizens.
