India is an agriculture-based country which has experienced enormous change in food and nutrition utilization since financial changes in the mid-1990s. Agribusiness is considered as the backbone of Indian economy. Therefore, the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) holds agricultural importance, contributing to a major share of our national income. High financial development rates of Indian economy have neglected to enhance food security in the country. The welfare of an expanding economy is not shared equally as the country is still home to one-third of the world’s poor. Hunger in India is considered as a genuine imprint on its development, and food security has now evolved as a principal issue. Presently, agriculture, nutrition, and dietary security are the prime worry for India to accomplish the target of encroachment. A large portion of the Indian population lacks healthy sustenance and nourishment. This article demonstrates nourishment utilization design across selected social and economic groups in the states falling under IGP region of India, which include West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana. The analysis helps in distinguishing the disparities among calorie, protein and fat consumption in the IGP region. An effort is made to recognize socio-economic groups suffering from deficiencies in nutrition consumption.Keywords

The article attempts to provide an overview of the pre-grant opposition against a patent application no 1219/DEL/2004 dated 30-06-2004 filed by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). The Pre-Grant Opposition was filed by M/s Hindustan Lever Limited by way of Representation u/s 25 (1) of Indian Patents Act, 1970. This resulted in the application being denied to CSIR, by the Assistant Controller of Patents & Design, Indian Patent Office (IPO), New Delhi. Subsequently, CSIR went on to file an appeal against the Order of Assistant Controller of Patents & Design at Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB), Chennai which ultimately resulted in the impingement of the decision of the Assistant Controller of Patents and Designs, IPO, New Delhi by the IPAB on 20-06-2013 and a direction to grant the Patent to CSIR was passed by IPAB, Chennai, and accordingly the Patent was granted to CSIR on 27-08-2015. This study provides an overview of the case, including comprehensive information on the Indian patent filing process, examination procedures, pregrant opposition, and strategies to address opposition. Furthermore, it presents a comparative analysis of similar cases, highlighting key legal interpretations, and offers suggestions for enhancing institutional IP due diligence processes and strengthening IP safeguards.Keywords
