Indian Coast Guard inducts new Advanced Light Helicopter Squadron 840 CG
- In the Indian Coast Guard, a new air squadron known as 840 Squadron was
established in Chennai, with an Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) Mark-III
aircraft as its first aircraft.

eastern region.
- According to the Coast Guard, three more ALH aircraft will be added to the
new Squadron’s inventory in the near future.
- The helicopter initially flew in 1992, although it took longer to build due
to a number of issues, including the Indian Army’s request for design
improvements, funding constraints, and sanctions imposed on India after the
1998 Pokhran-II nuclear tests.
- The ALH MK- III is powered by two Shakti engines and is equipped with
surveillance radar, electro optic pod, medical urgent care unit,

Future is UAV? The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has
successfully carried out the maiden flight of the Autonomous Flying Wing
Technology Demonstrator.
The demonstrator, also known as the ‘Stealth Wing Flying Testbed’ (SWiFT),
looks like the mini version of a US B-2 stealth bomber, has a similar “flying
wing” configuration. This enables it to carry more fuel and remain in air for
a longer duration. It also gives the aircraft less radar signature.
A deck launched version for the Indian Navy is also said to be in the
pipeline. The UCAV will be capable of launching missiles and precision-guided
munitions.

- Indian independence stems from the collective efforts of Indians over a long
period of time.
- It would therefore be wrong to say that the British left the country on the
basis of a single event.
- Some important events that, in our view, played a crucial role in uniting
the country as a whole to defend a single cause,
• Revolt of 1857
• Non-cooperation movement
• Civil Disobedience Movement
• Trial of Bhagat Singh
• Azad Hind Fauj
• Quit India Movement
• World War 2

AFCAT 2 2022 Paper strategy
☝️ Don't judge the paper level and cutoff just by seeing paper...it's same as
don't judge the book by its cover. there is a slight increase in AFCAT cutoff
from last 2 attempts..as level of paper is increased, so you should focus more
on accuracy than attempts.
🖐️ Count no of questions you have attempted in the paper after finishing all
portions take help of computer screen don't waste time much time.
⚡ If your no. of questions is around 60-70 without any guess work then you
don't need to attempt more or if you really want to score or attempt more go
back to your strongest portion and attempt few more....remember 180-210 is
very very good score..so avoid more guess work.
⚡ If your no. of questions is around 40 which means 120 marks, then you need
to go back and start attempting atleast 20 more questions to assure your
selection, guess work only in your strong portion not weak.
I know you all have given your best from last few months..so have faith in
yourself, your preparations. don't stress yourself, just go with relax and
calm mind. All the very best. Give your best!

be just a beginner or may be into preparation for quite some time but this
question happens to boggle in this journey when it comes to
materials/resources.
- If a topper says that he/she has not even touched NCERT, but has cleared the
exam with a rank, aspirants follow them blindly. One prerequisite for this
journey is- Do not blindly follow anyone or any strategy without gauging it
yourself. Everyone has different academic backgrounds and base knowledge.
As for NCERTs- pick up some PYQs of a certain topic, let's say geography, read
the topic from NCERT and then attempt those questions. You will yourself get
your answer with proof and not this write-up just claiming something.

Sword of Honour is presented to an passing out officer cadet who stands first
in order of Merit. Means he/she is the best amongst the passing out cadets.
However it has no significance in service but for decorating your house.
“Some goals are so worthy, it’s glorious even to fail.” – Capt Manoj Kumar
Pandey — PVC 1/11 Gorkha Rifles
1. Physical Tests: This is the most expected one out of any cadet to be
considered for the sword of honour. This includes all sorts of drills and
swimming tests. The fitter you are, the higher your chances to get top in the
merit list.
2. Field Training: This is the basic military skill to operate stealthily and
the methods used to do so.
3. Service Subjects: When you are already in final term, you are given your
specialized service subjects.
6. OLQs: You are tested for OLQs because you are expected to carry forward the
same. Your OLQs are tested at each and every point in the academy.
7. Additional Course: Those who have opted for an additional course like
‘Basic Para’ have an upper hand against those who haven’t. Hence, it again
earns you extra credit to top the merit list.

Pradesh on Saturday, 28 January.
Wing Commander Hanumantha Rao Sarathi, 34, who succumbed to injuries, hailed

AFCAT 1 2023 Paper strategy
☝️ Don't judge the paper level and cutoff just by seeing paper...it's same as
don't judge the book by its cover. there is a slight increase in AFCAT cutoff
from last 2 attempts..as level of paper is increased, so you should focus more
on accuracy than attempts.
🖐️ Count no of questions you have attempted in the paper after finishing all
portions take help of computer screen don't waste time much time.
⚡ If your no. of questions is around 60-70 without any guess work then you
don't need to attempt more or if you really want to score or attempt more go
back to your strongest portion and attempt few more....remember 180-210 is
very very good score..so avoid more guess work.
⚡ If your no. of questions is around 40 which means 120 marks, then you need
to go back and start attempting atleast 20 more questions to assure your
selection, guess work only in your strong portion not weak.
I know you all have given your best from last few months..so have faith in
yourself, your preparations. don't stress yourself, just go with relax and
calm mind. All the very best. Give your best!

Wrong.
There is a very slight but powerful mistake these people have been making
while giving their motivational talks and speeches.
They have been calling it HARD WORK when really, what makes someone successful
is taking an EXTRA STEP.
The only thing that the extra step requires, is courage and consistency.
Courage to start. And consistency to keep going.
Even small- effortless actions everyday - can accumulate into abundance.

✔️Why in News: The Centre has opposed same-sex marriage in the Supreme Court,
stating that marriage between a biological man and woman is a holy union, a
sacrament, and a sanskar in India.
✓The Parliament has designed and framed the marriage laws in the country to
recognise only the union of a man and a woman.
✓The Special Marriage Act of 1954 provides a civil form of marriage for
couples who cannot marry under their personal law.
✓The government argued that any deviation from this norm can only be made
through the legislature, and not the Supreme Court.
✓Same-sex couples should have the same legal rights and protections as
opposite-sex couples.

✓Therefore, they believe that same-sex marriage should not be allowed because
it goes against the natural order of things.

🔸Legal issues: There are concerns that allowing same-sex marriage will create
legal problems, such as issues with inheritance, tax, and property rights.
✓Some people argue that it would be too difficult to change all the laws and
regulations to accommodate same-sex marriage.
‼️Way Forward
✔️Social Acceptance and Education: India still has a long way to go in terms
of social acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community.
✔️As many other countries such as Canada, the United States, and Australia
have recognized same-sex marriage, it is imperative that India legalizes it to
ensure equal rights and opportunities for all individuals regardless of their
sexual orientation.

- Solstices occur at the same time around the world, but their local times
vary with time zones.
- This is because as the summer solstice approaches, the sun, at noon, rises
higher and higher in the sky on each successive day.
- On the summer solstice, the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun,
where the sun rises earlier and sets later, meaning countries will get the
longest day of sunlight they will get all year.
154
📍Why is it celebrated?
- Cultures around the world have historically celebrated the solstice as a
time when crops mature and start bearing fruit.
- In 16th-century China, the emperor would make offerings to the gods at the
Temple of the Earth during the solstice.

AFCAT 02 2023 Paper strategy
☝️ Don't judge the paper level and cutoff just by seeing paper...it's same as
don't judge the book by its cover. As level of paper has been increased, so
you should focus more on accuracy than attempts.
🖐️ Count no of questions you have attempted in the paper after finishing all
portions take help of computer screen don't waste time much time.
⚡ If your no. of questions is around 60-70 without any guess work then you
don't need to attempt more or if you really want to score or attempt more go
back to your strongest portion and attempt few more....remember 180-210 is
very very good score..so avoid more guess work.
175
⚡ If your no. of questions is around 40 which means 120 marks, then you need
to go back and start attempting atleast 20 more questions to assure your
selection, guess work only in your strong portion not weak.
I know you all have given your best from last few months..so have faith in
yourself, your preparations. don't stress yourself, just go with relax and
calm mind. All the very best. Give your best!

How AFCAT Calculates Scores?
The AFCAT calculates the score of candidates based on the marking scheme. The
following information will help you understand the AFCAT marking scheme based
on which you gained the AFCAT score.
The AFCAT calculates the score based on the number of correct answers. The
penalty of the wrong answers is also considered before adding up the score.
=================xxx===============xxx=============xxx=============xxx========
====
@otaworthloving
18:02
- This is done to ensure that all candidates have a fair chance of selection,
regardless of the shift they took.
1. The scores of all candidates are first calculated on a raw basis, i.e., the
number of correct answers minus the number of incorrect answers.
2. The average score of the top 0.1% of candidates is then calculated for each
shift.
- The AFCAT normalisation scheme was introduced in 2022. The purpose of the
scheme is to ensure that all candidates have an equal opportunity to be
selected for the Indian Air Force, regardless of the shift they took.

that the Indian Armed Forces are looking for in their officers. This will help
you to understand what the assessors are looking for and how to present
yourself in the best light.

authentic in your responses.

How Normalisation works for AFCAT?
- This is done to ensure that all candidates have a fair chance of selection,
regardless of the shift they took.
1. The scores of all candidates are first calculated on a raw basis, i.e., the
number of correct answers minus the number of incorrect answers.
2. The average score of the top 0.1% of candidates is then calculated for each
shift.
- The AFCAT normalisation scheme was introduced in 2022. The purpose of the
scheme is to ensure that all candidates have an equal opportunity to be
selected for the Indian Air Force, regardless of the shift they took.

- The last caste-based census in India was conducted in 1931. In 2011, the
government conducted a Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC), which collected
data on the socio-economic status of different caste groups. However, the data
on caste was never made public.
- In recent years, there has been a growing demand for a caste-based census,
particularly from Other Backward Classes (OBCs). OBCs are a diverse group of
castes that have been historically marginalized. They argue that a caste-based
census would help them to get their fair share of government benefits.
- The government has resisted the demand for a caste-based census, citing
logistical and administrative challenges. However, the issue is likely to
remain a contentious one in the years to come.

(UCC).

divorce, inheritance, and adoption for all citizens irrespective of their
religion or community. It replaces the existing personal laws specific to
different religious communities.

reactions. Proponents of the UCC argue that it will promote gender equality,
national integration, and secularism. Opponents argue that it will infringe on
the religious and cultural rights of minorities.
- It is still too early to say what the long-term impact of the UCC in
Uttarakhand will be. However, it is certainly a significant development that
is likely to be debated for many years to come.
