- IIT-Madras develops portable paper device to detect adulteration in milk.
- Researchers at IIT Madras have developed a three-dimensional (3D) paper-based portable device that can detect adulteration in milk within 30 seconds. The test could be even performed at home.
- The device can detect multiple substances commonly used as adulterating agents including Urea, detergents, soap, starch, hydrogen peroxide, sodium-hydrogen-carbonate and salt, among others
- Unlike conventional laboratory-based methods to test the purity of milk, which are both expensive and time-consuming, this new technology is affordable and could also be used to test other liquids such as water, fresh juice, and milkshake for traces of adulteration.
- Information Technology Minister Mano Thangaraj said that e-Seva center 2.0 will be introduced soon.
- 600 types of services will soon be provided at e-seva centres. 235 services of the Government of Tamil Nadu are being provided through 9720 e-Seva centres.
- Through this, the schemes and services of the government will be made available quickly with transparency.
