The tool utilizes Deep Learning and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to process and classify images of oral lesions for potential malignancy.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore developed an AI-powered tool that analyzes smartphone images to detect oral cancer at an early stage.

The EOS-08 carries the Electro Optical Infrared Payload (EOIR), Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R), and SiC UV Dosimeter.

EOS-08 is designed to demonstrate technologies required for microsatellites, including a new bus, integrated avionics, and modular payloads.

The EOS-08 satellite was launched by the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV-D3) on August 16, 2024, marking the final developmental flight of the SSLV series.

A growing manufacturing sector typically leads to job creation, which in turn can help reduce the unemployment rate. It can also boost exports, potentially improving the current account balance.

The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for Manufacturing is a key economic indicator that provides a timely monthly estimate of the health of the manufacturing sector, based on surveys of purchasing managers.

The 'Make in India' initiative, launched earlier, has been a cornerstone in driving the manufacturing sector's growth by encouraging foreign direct investment, fostering innovation, and improving the ease of doing business.

Stricter regulations often translate to increased compliance burdens and costs for fund managers. This can lead to a more risk-averse investment strategy and potentially a consolidation within the AIF industry.

Category I AIFs, as defined by SEBI, include venture capital funds, which primarily invest in startups and early-stage companies, as well as social impact funds and infrastructure funds.
