College and Universities are experiencing significant growth in student's enrollment that is why it is very important to innovate new trends, technologies which shape students, faculties to be fresh, energetic during the whole day. Innovation is an important ingredient of development. Changes are occurring at pace faster than ever. The information is available for everyone instantaneously and thus focus of students is shifting from traditional classroom teaching to being self-informed via internet. This calls for a change both in the content which is being taught and in the methodology of the teaching. In this paper we will discuss, some of the existing innovative methods like playing games software based on Android and its algorithms which are being used to express the most pressing needs of the world through the methodologies which seem lucid but prove highly effective in keeping the students engaged. We will then discuss how these methods can be further modified in order to make them most efficient and propose teaching methodologies for android development and algorithms.

Introduction: With a population of 1.3 billion people and a frequency of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (0.17-0.29%), Hepatitis B Virus (3-4%), and Hepatitis C Virus (0.09-15%) in the general population, maintaining blood safety is a difficult undertaking in India. The fourth-generation Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), which can be used in place of Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAT) testing in situations with limited resources, has been recommended as the minimal HIV test to increase the safety of blood transfusions. Aim: To compare the fourth generation ELISA with NAT in the screening of transfusion transmissible HIV infection in blood donors. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at the Blood Centre, Department of Immuno-Haematology and Transfusion Medicine, Sardar Patel Medical College and Associated Groups of Hospitals, in Bikaner, Rajasthan, India. A total of 2000 voluntary and replacement blood donors were recruited consecutively between January 2020 to December 2021 (two years), and their samples were screened using fourthgeneration ELISA. All of these samples were sent to AIIMS in Jodhpur for NAT to identify HIV RNA, HCV RNA and HBV DNA. Results: In this study, when the fourth generation ELISA negative samples were subjected to NAT, no sample was found to be reactive for HIV in NAT, i.e. there was no NAT yield for HIV. Conclusion: As a bare minimum, the fourth-generation ELISA test should be used for blood donor screening and can be considered a cost-effective and reliable test in a resource limited setting. However, additional tests can be advocated for an additional layer of blood safety.
