Da Vinci was an artist, engineer, mathematician, inventor, scientist, musician, architect, writer – a Renaissance man
A half a millennium ago, da Vinci wrote: “I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.”
Da Vinci was an artist, engineer, mathematician, inventor, scientist, musician, architect, writer – a Renaissance man, sure. But a doer. An Inspirer.

According to the report, out of the 28 lakh jobs, about 21 lakh jobs will be for the agriculture sector and the rest 7 lakh jobs in the rural healthcare sector. BIF in consultation with the Electronics Skill Council of India, the Agriculture Skill Council and the Healthcare Sector Skill Council stated: “these jobs will be created over next 8-10 years and the pace and quantity of job creation is likely to further increase post 2021-22 once 5G technology is implemented”.
Also, the report highlighted that the following key applications would transform the sector:

India’s Indelible Election Ink- Silver Nitrate Compound- A Royal History
The Royal History
Determining the future success or failure of a country, elections are perhaps the most coveted event in every democratic nation. Although it’s tagged as a privilege, voting is right of every citizen where the power lies in their hands to elect their choice of representative in both Assembly and General elections, choosing the government that they believe best represent their ideals.
A key factor in electoral voting is a mark of indelible ink that is applied on the index finger of every voter in order to ensure that each person votes once and that no bogus or fraudulent voting takes place at polling booths. In India, following the demonetization policy, today, the same indelible ink is being applied on the finger of individuals who have exchanged old currency notes at cash counters in banks. It is reportedthat the move was made to tackle the sly practice perpetrated by certain individuals of sending different groups of people to a number of banks to convert their black money into legal tender.
Looking into the company’s history we found that it was in fact founded in 1937 by Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV, who back in the day was one of the richest men in the world. With family-owned gold mines, the Maharaja had a penchant for Rolls Royce cars which he’d buy in batches of seven as he considered it to be his lucky number, as stated by Vinay Nagaraju of Royal Mysore Walks. In 1947 the company was handed over to the Government of Karnataka who holds a 91.39 percent stake in the company according to a Business Today report, with the rest being distributed among close to 1,000 shareholders, including Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar, scion of the royal family hailing from Mysore. Although the company also manufactures decorative paints, industrial coatings and varnishes, these other projects get overshadowed by the sheer revenue that’s generated by the ink manufacturing side of the business.During the very first electionthat took place in India in 1951-52, the election commission noticed several cases of identity theft taking place. To stop people from cast more than one vote the commission reached out to the National Physical Laboratory of India (NPL) requesting them to develop a unique ink formula that wouldn’t be easily wiped off, making sure that elections were carried out fairly sans any misconduct.
