Yes or no? it’s GMO.

 GMOs are good for health. Wait, what? No way GMOs, how can be safe?

Yes, we are speaking about GMOs(genetically modified organisms). What is a genetically modified organism? A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose DNA has been modified in the laboratory to favor the expression of desired physiological traits or the production of desired biological products.


Any creature that has had its genetic composition altered in a laboratory environment is referred to as a genetically modified organism (GMO), also known as a transgenic organism or genetically engineered organism.https://www.britannica.com/science/genetically-modified-organism

Today's GMO crops were primarily created to aid farmers in weed management, crop loss prevention, and food preservation. The following are the top three characteristics of GMO crops: resistance to several harmful insects. tolerance for specific weed-killing chemicals. Why is GMO superior to organic?

Genetically modified crops consume less land and leave a smaller carbon footprint than organic, non-genetically modified crops, according to research and data. Crops that have been genetically engineered may provide advantages for the environment. The use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) benefits both producers and consumers in specific ways. By giving resistance to a particular disease or pest, modified plants, for instance, can at least initially assist safeguard crops, assuring better food production. GMOs are significant sources of medicine as well. By increasing crop output, for instance, genetic engineering can increase the amount of the target crop produced. Additionally, scientists can create pest-resistant crops to help local farmers better tolerate environmental hazards that might otherwise destroy an entire season's worth of harvest.

Yields may also rise dramatically as a result of their resilience to diseases and pests. Golden Rice is one of the instances of a GMO that is now in use. The topic of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is highly debatable. People genuinely worry about their health if they consume GMO food, while others are worried about the environment and the potential effects of their introduction on nearby plants. But does having a GMO label make anything automatically bad?

No, GM crops offer a ton of advantages over organic ones. They are more nutritious, and tastier than organic ones, use fewer pesticides, increase food supply at a lower cost, and have a longer shelf life. 

They grow quickly, GMOs are typically more affordable, and medicinal crops that could be utilized as vaccines or other treatments. https://ag.purdue.edu/gmos/why-gmos.html

People continue to believe in GMOs. We all know about golden rice, it's also a GMO, A brand-new variety of rice with beta carotene is called "Golden Rice" (provitamin A, a plant pigment that the body converts into vitamin A as needed). This substance lends the grain its designation of golden or yellow-orange tint. The genetic engineering process is used to create golden rice.


However, GMOs, are not without their drawbacks.

Many individuals are afraid of GMOs. People's concerns about GMOs are real. The most obvious ones are any potential dangers associated with usage. Will they cause us to become ill? Are they environmentally friendly? No is the answer. many people in the world are having GMOs for a long time. Nothing happens with them. it could be said strongly that GMOs are safe.

If you have ever consumed GMO-containing food, please share your experience with us.

                      One for all , All for one Bangladesh Army  is the lineal descendants of the British Indian Army and Pakistan Army. At the time of the independence of Pakistan, there was not a single Bengali regiment in East Bengal. The Bangladesh Army started its journey on the night of March 25, 1971. Qasim Malik, the Parliamentary Secretary of Pakistan reported in a defence statement that East Pakistan formed only one percent of the total strength of the Pakistan Army in 1947. On February 15, 1948, first Bengali regiment named “ East Bengal Regiment ” as well as the strongest regiment off all time in Bangladesh was raised at Kurmitola, Dhaka under the prudent leadership of Major Abdul Ghani. The glorious chapter of East Bengal Regiment may be attributed to the two major events of military history of this subcontinent. First one was in the  Indo-Pak War of 1965 and the second one was repeated only six years later in the  Liberation War of Bangladesh . In 1968, East Pakistan ha

                    Music lives within us, but the way we interpret music and expand our horizons of musical taste is quite different from each other.

A group of students from Fine Arts Institute of Dhaka university, namely  Shibu Kumer Shil, Mejbaur Rahman Sumon, Rasheed Sharif Shoaib and Masud Hasan Ujjal ,  used to work together in a designing shop at the basement of Shahbag's Aziz Super Market. There, they found out the common love for music they had. They soon officially formed  Meghdol in December 2003. The name Meghdol is taken
