Raising population at global level needs solving the problems related to food and health due imbalance use of fast foods of high calories. The problems of obesity, diabetes, cardiac arrests, porous bones, depressions etc. are so called general diseases of modern era. So many cereals are available which economically feasible and tasty but not healthy. At present people are very conscious with health. Millets are one of the best solution to found highly nutritious and health benefits in pandemic era. Researchers are proving that millet has a better option to other cereals. It contains energy, protein, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. Value added products of millets are possible to solve negative effect of agriculture and food security. So the review focused on millet nutritive value, health benefits, processing techniques with their value added products to enhance consumption of health.

Earthworms are significant ecological receptor species that play a key role in the structure and function of soil ecosystems. They can absorb intact nanomaterials and excrete into the form of aggregates. Bio-distribution of nanoparticles into tissues and their accumulation plays a significant role in assessing ecological risk and toxicity. Present study shows that coelomic cells of earthworms can uptake nanoparticles ~ 22.0% at 48 hrs exposure of 35nm ZnO. The strategy of earthworms to accumulate nanoparticles and excrete them in agglutinated/aggregated forms may exploit to remediate nanoparticles from soil system at large scale.

Immunity of an organism is a complex system for organism’s survivability and integrity. In general, immunity acts like a security barrier for pathogenic environment by defending themselves against invasion of intruders as well as self generated deformed/altered substances. Immune system includes various components like cells, molecules (proteins) and gene that triggers activation of various pathways of the immune response to recognize the nonself molecules. That act against it to prevent hazardous impact like diseases/ infections by eliminating it from self component. Mechanism of immune responses and their action against pathogen/noxious substances, broadly classified into two categories, innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity presents in all organisms as their natural immunity since birth upto the whole life of organisms and is considered as most primitive and simplest form of immunity.
