Today’s “Word of the Day” is “panacea“ and it is a noun meaning “a solution or remedy for all problems or difficulties; or diseases; answer, antidote, elixir, cure-all, nostrum, magic bullet, magic formula”.
Example Sentence: Nano-urea, a product developed by the Indian Farmers and Fertiliser Cooperative (IFFCO) and heavily advertised by the Central government as panacea to reduce farmer dependence on packaged urea is yet to be fully tested despite having been fast tracked for commercial application. Normally, three seasons of independent assessment by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) is required for approving a new fertiliser, but in the case of nano urea this was reduced to two. Moreover scientists are still unclear if the product can on its own cut farmers’ dependence on urea.
