No winners on opening day in Group G of Swami Vivekananda U-20 Men's Championship
Narainpur (Chhattisgarh) [India], May 11 (ANI): Tripura were held 2-2 by Arunachal Pradesh, while Madhya Pradesh and Assam played out a goalless draw in the opening Group G fixtures of the Swami Vivekananda U-20 Men's National Football Championship at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground in Narainpur, Chhattisgarh, on Saturday.
*Tripura 2 (John Jamatia 26', 86') drew with Arunachal Pradesh 2 (Sonu Chetry 62', Toku Panung 90')
Arunachal Pradesh came from behind twice to snatch a point from Tripura in an entertaining 2-2 draw in the morning fixture. Both Tripura goals came from John Jamatia, while Toku Panung grabbed the last-minute equaliser for Arunachal Pradesh.
Jamatia scored his first in the 26th minute, latching on to a long ball from the bag before dribbling past two Arunachal shirts and rolling a low shot into the corner. Arunachal Pradesh's equaliser came just past the hour mark thanks to substitute Sonu Chetry's header. The forward attacked a high cross from left-back Takar Mengnia, beating goalkeeper Sudip Kumar Chakraborty to the ball and heading it in. The ball hit the underside of the bar and crossed the line, as per a press release from the All India Football Federation (AIFF).
Tripura restored their lead in the 86th minute, Jamatia displaying his great dribbling skills yet again. Similar to the first goal, he was the lone attacker in the final third for Tripura and feinted his way past a defender before squeezing the ball past Anant Shah in the Arunachal goal. Tripura thought they had got the winner, but the celebrations were cut short when Panung equalised for Arunachal in the 90th minute. This goal also came from a header, this time with Kito Ete's cross from the right, which was headed into the far corner by an unmarked Panung from just six yards out.
*Madhya Pradesh 0 drew with Assam 0
Assam and Madhya Pradesh also remained inseparable in the evening match in Narainpur. While no goals were scored, Assam, led by skipper Gwgwmsar Goyary, the India U19 international from Delhi FC, were the side who created better openings in attack among the two but were unable to convert any. They pegged Madhya Pradesh back deep in injury time and missed a great chance when Sudeepta Konwar headed a fine cross from the right by Nayan Kumar Deka Rabha.
Group F will get underway on Sunday, May 12. Rajasthan will face Maharashtra at 07:30, while neighbours Manipur and Meghalaya will go head-to-head at 16:00. Both matches will be streamed live on the Indian Football YouTube Channel. (ANI)

NewsChina: Farming tradition meets innovation in China's vegetable heartland
China - November 27, 2024 Farming tradition meets innovation in China's vegetable heartland (Voice_over) From purple sprouting broccoli to tomatoes on the vine. This annual vegetable fair is a one-stop shop for China's agricultural traditions and innovations. (Sound_bite) Zhang Fuguang, Worker, Yurun Mengyang Vegetable Market: "Traditional broccoli is round and compact. This is a newly developed variety. It can be eaten raw because it's green and natural." (Voice_over) Location - Pengzhou, a small city on the Chengdu Plain - a historic agricultural hub, and now, one of China's major vegetable bases. The city has a cultivation area of more than 500 square kilometers, yielding an annual output of more than two million tons. (Sound_bite) Tao Yuan, Reporter: "Vegetables here don't just stay in the farmland. The city has partnered with leading agricultural research institutions to develop new varieties in the lab." (Voice_over) This laboratory is designed to support the high-quality development of the Pengzhou vegetable industry. Researchers here are working to tackle key challenges, such as food safety and the effect of climate change. (Sound_bite) Song Zhanfeng, Director, Vegetable Research Center, Horticulture Institute of Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences: "In recent years, what we've observed most frequently is the irregularity of high temperatures, low temperatures, and rainfall. This lack of pattern in the climate makes it difficult for scientists to conduct research and for local farmers to grow crops. Without a predictable pattern, it's hard to manage things properly. Such environmental changes affect plant growth significantly." (Voice_over) This study is focuses on stress resistance, developing crops that can thrive under extreme weather conditions, such as high and low temperatures, excessive rainfall, or water scarcity. The goal is to identify and enhance the genetic traits that make these crops more resilient. (Sound_bite) Song Zhanfeng, Director, Vegetable Research Center, Horticulture Institute of Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences: "We artificially create a high-temperature or low-temperature environment for it to grow in. Then we observe how it performs in those conditions. After that, we conduct genetic modification and run tests to see whether it expresses the desired traits. Once successful, we apply this technology to our vegetable varieties." (Voice_over) A testament to how science and innovation can shape the future of one of humanity's oldest industries.
