Indigenisation Projects on the Horizon
Why indigenisation?
- The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) reported that
India was the world’s second-largest importer of major arms in 2014-18 and
accounted for 9.5% of the global total and India’s military expenditure rose
by 3.1%.
9
- C&AG report, 2011 to the Parliament, highlighted the 90% import dependency
of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) for ‘raw materials and bought-out items for
the production of indigenous equipment.
- The Self-Reliance Index (SRI) (the ratio of indigenous content of defence

procurements to the total expenditure on defence procurements in a financial
year) is at a low of 0.3.
=================xxx===============xxx=============xxx=============xxx========
====
11:43
Indigenisation of Indian Defence Sector
- Self-reliance in defence is of vital importance for both strategic and

economic reasons, hence building an indigenous defence potential is essential.
- The presence of robust security architecture is primary for India’s

geopolitical ambitions and against hostile neighbours’ actions.
- A country like India with its immense potential and strategic location
requires to be self-reliant, hence it is important to pursue the idea of
indigenisation for:
• Self-defence: The presence of hostile neighbours like China and Pakistan

makes it improbable for India to boost its self-defence and preparedness.
• Strategic advantage: Self-reliance will make India’s geopolitical stance

strategically stronger as a net security provider.
• Technological advancement: Advancement in the defence technology sector will

automatically boost other industries hence catapulting the economy further
ahead.
• Economic drain: India spends around 3-4% of GDP on defence and 60% of that
is spent on imports. This leads to an immense economic drain.
• Employment: Defence manufacturing will need the support of numerous other

industries which generate employment opportunities.

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

Significance of Military Exercises:
- In the domain of international relations, military diplomacy has, in recent

years, emerged as a major tool to further diplomatic interests of nations.
- Participation in international level military exercises is an indication of

the highest level of trust and confidence between the member nations.
- On the operational side, military exercises enable militaries to understand

each other’s drills and procedures, overcome language barriers, and facilitate
familiarisation with equipment capabilities.
- This is particularly useful in the event of joint operations whether in war

or in operations other than war (OOTW) like, humanitarian aid, disaster
relief, anti-piracy, etc – when nations come together for a common cause.
- Perhaps, the most important advantage of joint military exercises is

‘strategic signalling’.
21
- A joint exercise with one or more nations serves the purpose of signalling
to a third country the influence we have in the region and a demonstration of
our resolve to further our diplomatic objectives.
- On the intangible side, military exercises promote brotherhood and

camaraderie between soldiers and militaries.
- Besides goodwill, it is a tool for projection of a nation’s soft power –

culture, language, customs, beliefs, food habits and lifestyle.

India Successfully conducts Maiden Flight of Stealth Combat ‘Unmanned air

Vehicle'
23
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.
Sources said the Autonomous Flying Wing Technology Demonstrator is a precursor

to an autonomous stealthy UCAV being developed by the DRDO’s Aeronautical
Development Establishment (ADE), primarily for the Indian Air Force.
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.

Defence Minister said that the joint theatre commands of tri-services would be

-- army, air force and navy -- and optimally utilise their resources for wars
and operations. Specific theatre commands – or units – will be placed under
the Theatre Commander.
Such commands are expected to come under the operational control of an officer
from any of the three services, depending on the function assigned.

- 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.
📍 Start with ur strongest portion first, whether reasoning or maths in first

go!!
3️⃣ Then to save time attempt gk or English portion.
•Again one portion from maths and Reasoning.
4️⃣ And at last gk or English which ever is left over.
🔰 MOST IMPORTANT, Don't do guess work or tukkabaazi in atleast first 1.30

hours of exam....negative marking will ruin your paper.
🖐️ 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!
Touch the Sky with Glory! 💙

Relevance of NCERTs?
54
- Every now and then, aspirants face confusion in their UPSC journey. They may
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.
Remember, UPSC tries to be a great leveller and when it comes to conflicting

concepts, it resorts its reasons to NCERT textbooks because they are available
pan-India.
There is a reason why it is said not to underestimate NCERTs when building a

base for your UPSC Journey. Sometimes we happen to miss the most easy steps
and get trapped in rougher ones. Required to be said-

No change in Indian Army regiments' names
- After an internal agenda note of the Indian Army on removing colonial

legacies raised hackles of serving and retired officers, the Army has decided
against tinkering with the name of regiments, their practices, ethos and
system of regimentation.
- “Veterans can be assured that customs and traditions which contribute to our
regimentation, morale and motivation will never ever be disturbed.
Sensitivities are involved and any such apprehension is misplaced,” a top
Indian Army official said.

named Sikh, Jat, Punjab, Dogra, Rajput, Assam, Madras, Bihar etc. These names
had been given during British times. Post independence, some older cavalry
regiments like Hodson’s Horse got a new name ‘4 Horse’ and the Skinners Horse
was named ‘1 Horse’.

The Hustle - is the only thing that makes you successful. And there is
absolutely no substitute for hard work. Right?
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.
So just keep hustling !

Same Sex Marriage[1/2]
✔️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.
✓A Bench led by Chief Justice of India refers petitions to legally recognise

same-sex marriages to a Constitution Bench of five judges of the Supreme Court
❓What is the Stand of Government Regarding Same Sex Marriage?

✓The government argued that the Court had only decriminalised sexual
intercourse between same-sex persons in its 2018 judgement in Navtej Singh
Johar v. Union of India, and not legitimised this “conduct”.
✓The court, while decriminalising homosexuality, did not accept same-sex

marriage as part of the fundamental right to life and dignity under Article 21
of the Constitution.
✓The government argues that marriage depends on customs, rituals, practices,

cultural ethos, and societal values.
139
✓Same-sex marriage cannot be compared to a man and woman living as a family

with children born out of the union.
✓The Parliament has designed and framed the marriage laws in the country to
recognise only the union of a man and a woman.
✓Registration of marriage of same-sex persons would result in a violation of

existing personal as well as codified law provisions.
✓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.
❗What are the Arugments in Favour of Same Sex Marriage?

🔹Equal Rights and Protection Under the Law: All individuals, regardless of
their sexual orientation, have the right to marry and form a family.
✓Same-sex couples should have the same legal rights and protections as
opposite-sex couples.
✓Non-recognition of same-sex marriage amounted to discrimination that struck

at the root of the dignity and self-fulfillment of LBTQIA+ couples.
🔹Strengthening Families and Communities: Marriage provides social and

economic benefits to couples and their families.
✓Allowing same-sex couples to marry strengthens families and communities by

promoting stability and security.
🔹Global Acceptance: Same-sex marriage is legal in many countries around the

world, and denying this right to individuals in a democratic society goes
against the global principles.
✓In 133 countries homosexuality decriminalised, but only in 32 of them

same-sex marriage is legal.
=================xxx===============xxx=============xxx=============xxx========
====
15:08
Same Sex Marriage [2/2]
❗What are the Arugments Against Same Sex Marriage?

🔸Religious and Cultural Beliefs: Many religious and cultural groups believe
that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.
✓They argue that changing the traditional definition of marriage would go

against the fundamental principles of their beliefs and values.
🔸Procreation: Some people argue that the primary purpose of marriage is

procreation, and that same-sex couples cannot have biological children.
✓Therefore, they believe that same-sex marriage should not be allowed because
it goes against the natural order of things.
140
🔸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
✔️Cultural Sensitivity: India is a culturally diverse country with different

religious and societal values.
✔️Any legislative or judicial decision on same-sex marriage must consider the

cultural sensitivities of different communities while also ensuring that the
fundamental rights of individuals are protected.
✔️Social Acceptance and Education: India still has a long way to go in terms
of social acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community.
✔️Education and awareness campaigns should be developed to promote acceptance

and understanding of heterosexuality then same-sex marriages should be
considered on table.
✔️International Obligations: India is a signatory to various international

human rights treaties and conventions, which require it to protect the rights
of all individuals, including 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.

DRDO conducts Design Validation Trial of Vertical Shaft based Underground

Ammunition Storage Structure
✓Centre of Fire, Explosive and Environment Safety (CFEES), a Delhi-based

laboratory of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has
designed and developed a Vertical Shaft based Underground Ammunition Storage
Facility.
✓It enables upward vertical dissipation of blast effects considerably reducing

the blast effect on surrounding utilities.
✓The Design Validation Trial of this Underground Ammunition Storage Structure

was successfully conducted on April 30, 2023.
✓The instrumented blast trial was carried out in presence of the Armed Forces
by detonating 5,000 kgs of TNT in one of the chambers of the underground
facility.
✓The CFEES team conducted the trial with precision and utmost safety in place.
All the parameters recorded during the trial matched with estimated values.
✓This facility will ensure that an explosion within will not cause damage to
the adjacent chamber and also ensuring full operability of the remaining
facility.
✓The Armed Forces find it difficult to stock ammunition as required by them

due to non- availability of adequate land as large safety distances are
required for ammunition storage structures.
✓The safety distances considerably reduce, when ammunition is stored

underground.
✓Based on the results of the instrumented trials, the safety distance has been
established up to 120 Metric Ton (40 Metric Ton Net Explosive Content)
ammunition storage per chamber.
✓The unique design developed has an additional advantage of reducing Safety

Distances and Cost by 50 per cent as compared to current designs.
✓The design also ensures higher safety of ammunition stored from any kind of
aerial attack or sabotage.

The Country's Deadliest Rail Accident in more than 20 years
- At least 280 persons were feared dead and more than 900 injured in a major
rail accident involving two express trains and a goods train in Balasore
district of Odisha on Friday evening.
- The accident took place at around 7 p.m. when two coaches of 12864
(SMVB-HWH) Yashwantpur-Howrah Express derailed near Bahanaga Railway station
in Balasore district.
- The derailed coaches tossed over to the adjoining track and hit the speeding
12841 Coromandel Express coming from the opposite direction. It led to
derailment of about 17 bogies.
Condolences to the families of the victims. May everyone affected find

strength and peace in this hour of grief.

Since morning KAVACH system is in news with claims that it could have
prevented the tragedy in Balasore. Let’s get acquainted will all information
about it.
What is KAVACH System??
- It was in Development stage since 2012 & it took nearly a decade to be

ready. It was made part of Aatmanirbhar Initiative in 2022-23 Union Budget.
What is its primary function?
- It is Train Collision Avoidance System developed by RDSO which aims to

prevent train collision if two trains are on same track within 5 kilometres.
151
It also provides seamless communication between train staff & stations in all
situations.
What is its reliability??
- It is highly advanced as it has features of European Train Protection &

Warning System alongwith European Train Control System 2. It has highest level
of safety (SIL) 4.
How it Works ??
- Ultra High Frequency systems installed in trains, at crossings & stations

continuously detect & transmit train movement information. Integration of
train information with data from track based sensors creates safety overlay
for risk free operations.
Why it wasn’t installed on the route where accident took place??
- Only reason is COST. It costs approximately ₹50 lakh to install KAVACH

system for one kilometre.
In 2022 Govt started process for 2,000 kms initially & India has overall
68,000 kms tracks. ₹33,000 crore will be needed for just this. System has to
be installed on all trains also. Overall cost will 50,000 crore +
approximately.
What are Govt plans about it ??
- They have planned to issue all tenders in next two years & the work will
take nearly 5-7 years to complete.
- Overall we can expect safe railway tracks by 2033.

Summer Solstice
- This year, the Northern Hemisphere's summer solstice falls on June 21 at

10:57 a.m. EST.
- 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.
- Sweden celebrates midsummer, a gathering of friends and family where some

people will adorn traditional clothing and floral wreaths and dance around a
maypole.

Happy Independence Day !
- On this day in 1947, India finally gained its independence from British rule

the freedom fighters who made it possible.
- 1947: The Indian Independence Act is passed by the British Parliament. The
act divides India into two dominions: India and Pakistan. India is granted
independence on August 15, 1947.
- India's independence was a long and difficult struggle, but it was

ultimately achieved through the sacrifices and hard work of millions of
people.

India to deploy its First Ever ‘Polar Research Vessel' to Antarctica in next 5
years
- India aims to have its first Polar Research Vessel (PRV) in the next five
years in order to sustain its bases in Antarctica. The Cabinet had approved Rs
1,051 crore to acquire the vessel. A tender was also floated for the same.
- The PRV will play a crucial role in supporting India's bases in Antarctica
and the Arctic. India currently has three research base stations in the polar
region of Antarctica - Bharati, Maitri, and Dakshin Gangotri.
- Apart from logistical support, a PRV can serve as a research platform for
scientists to conduct studies in the ocean realm, including the Southern
Ocean.
- Given the geo-political and geo-economic transitions happening in the

Arctic, having its own PRV becomes all the more important for India to assert
its presence and interests in the region.

How Normalisation works for AFCAT?
AFCAT normalisation is a process used to equalize the scores of candidates

appearing for the same exam but in different shifts having different sets of
question papers.
- This is done to ensure that all candidates have a fair chance of selection,
regardless of the shift they took.
The Normalisation process is based on the following steps:
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.
3. The standard deviation of the scores of all candidates is then calculated

for each shift.
4. The normalized score of each candidate is then calculated.

176
- 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.

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.
If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible

that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it.
On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire
the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.
Trust yourself--you know more than you think you do.
You either win or learn!

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

alert and refreshed during the interview.

dress appropriately. This means wearing clean, pressed clothes that are
appropriate for the occasion.
The SSB interview is a challenging process, but it is definitely possible to

crack it. By following these tips, you can increase your chances of success.

How Normalisation works for AFCAT?
AFCAT normalisation is a process used to equalize the scores of candidates

appearing for the same exam but in different shifts having different sets of
question papers.
- This is done to ensure that all candidates have a fair chance of selection,
regardless of the shift they took.
The Normalisation process is based on the following steps:
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.
3. The standard deviation of the scores of all candidates is then calculated

for each shift.
4. The normalized score of each candidate is then calculated.
- 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.

Caste based census in India
- Caste based census in India is a controversial topic. There is no consensus

on whether or not to conduct such a census, and the issue has been debated for
decades.
- Proponents of a caste-based census argue that it would provide valuable data

on the socio-economic status of different caste groups. This data could be
used to design more effective policies to address poverty and inequality.
Additionally, a caste-based census could help to identify and address the
specific challenges faced by disadvantaged castes.
- Opponents of a caste-based census argue that it could exacerbate social

tensions and lead to discrimination against certain caste groups. They also
argue that it would be difficult to collect accurate data on caste, as many
people are reluctant to disclose their caste affiliation.
- 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.
Here are some of the potential benefits of a caste-based census:
• It could provide valuable data on the socio-economic status of different

caste groups.
• This data could be used to design more effective policies to address poverty
and inequality.
• A caste-based census could help to identify and address the specific
challenges faced by disadvantaged castes.
• It could help to ensure that OBCs get their fair share of government
benefits.
Here are some of the potential drawbacks of a caste-based census:

200
• It could exacerbate social tensions and lead to discrimination against

certain caste groups.
• It would be difficult to collect accurate data on caste, as many people are
reluctant to disclose their caste affiliation.
• It could be costly and time-consuming to conduct a caste-based census.
Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to conduct a caste-based census is

a complex one. There are both potential benefits and drawbacks to consider.
The government will need to weigh these carefully before making a decision.

What's Happening in Israel?

201
- On October 7, 2023, Israel is experiencing a significant escalation of

violence, with Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip firing hundreds of rockets
into Israel and Israeli forces responding with airstrikes.
- The violence began on Saturday morning, when Hamas launched a surprise

rocket attack on Israel. The attack was reportedly in retaliation for an
Israeli airstrike that killed a Hamas commander on Friday.
- Since then, Hamas has fired over 500 rockets into Israel, including
long-range rockets that have reached as far north as Tel Aviv. The rockets
have killed at least four Israelis and injured dozens more.
- The Israeli military has responded with airstrikes on targets in the Gaza
Strip, including Hamas military sites and infrastructure. The airstrikes have
killed at least 15 Palestinians and injured dozens more.
- The violence has raised concerns of a new full-scale war between Israel and
Hamas. The last major conflict between the two sides took place in 2021 and
lasted 11 days.
- In addition to the violence in the Gaza Strip, there is also ongoing tension
and violence in the West Bank. On Saturday, Israeli forces killed three
Palestinian teenagers in the West Bank town of Jenin. The Israeli military
said the teenagers were armed and were attempting to carry out an attack on
Israeli soldiers. However, Palestinian witnesses said the teenagers were
unarmed and were shot while fleeing Israeli forces.
- The violence in the West Bank has also raised concerns of a wider escalation
of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
- The United States and other international actors are calling for both sides
to cease hostilities and return to dialogue. However, it is unclear whether
either side is willing to do so at this time.

ANNUAL JOINT HADR EXERCISE 2023 – (CHAKRAVAT 2023)
✓The Annual Joint HADR Exercise (AJHE) is an outcome of Hon’ble PM’s directive
promulgated during Combined Commanders’ Conference-2015. Since its first
edition in 2015, the Annual Joint HADR Exercise, CHAKRAVAT, has transformed
itself into a multi-agency endeavour involving participation of all three
Services, Paramilitary Forces, as well as several disaster response
organisations, NGOs, academic institutions and international organisations.
✓The 2023 edition would further synergise efforts at the national level among
all stakeholders, as well as witness participation from eight countries of the
Indian Ocean Region.
✓The exercise has been conducted by Indian Army, Indian Navy (IN) and Indian
Air Force (IAF) in rotation since 2016. The last edition of the exercise was
conducted at Agra by IAF. The 2023 edition of the exercise is being hosted by
the Indian Navy at Goa from 09 to 11 Oct 23.
✓Developing collective and coordinated effective response mechanisms to

address humanitarian crises and natural disasters are one of the most visible
elements in India's inclusive vision for the oceans - SAGAR, or Security And
Growth for All in the Region.
✓Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations form a key

component in the Indian Navy's Benign Role, as climate change has
significantly increased vulnerability of the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) to
natural disasters.
✓The challenge posed by climate change is accentuated by the limited capacity

of littoral IOR states to address this rapidly growing threat.
✓Therefore, Indian Armed Forces have been frequently called upon to render
assistance to our friends and partners in the Region, thereby, strengthening
the need and our resolve to be the 'First Responder’ in the region.
✓While the three Services continue to provide relief and succour in the event
of a calamity, a whole of government approach would further enhance our
preparedness and response to such unfortunate events.
✓AJHE-23, planned over three days includes a seminar, a Table-Top Exercise and
a Multi-Agency Capability Demonstration.
✓The exercise will witness participation from various national agencies

namely, National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), National Disaster
Response Force (NDRF), National Institute for Disaster Management (NIDM),
Indian Army, Indian Navy, Indian Air Force, Coast Guard, Indian Metrological
Department (IMD), National Remote Sensing Agencies (NRSA), State Disaster
203
Management Agency (SDMA) and State Fire Services, Goa, District Disaster
Management Agency (DDMA) of North and South, Goa, Indian National Centre for
Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), Central Water Commission (CWC), Defence
Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and representatives from
Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and from
friendly foreign countries.
✓Discussions on emergent topics namely, Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster

Risk Reduction: Practical Solution, Disaster Response in IOR: A Collaborative
Approach, and NGO Collaboration in Disaster Reduction and Response: An
Integrated Approach will be undertaken by Subject Matter Experts during the
seminar planned on 09 Oct 23.
✓An industrial display has been planned on 10 and 11 Oct 23 wherein various
HADR equipment will be showcased by FICCI, Army, IN, IAF, ICG, NDRF, SDMA and
NSRC.
✓In addition, a Multi-Agency Capability Demonstration will be conducted on 11

Oct 23, which will showcase drills on rescue and relief to highlight the
nuances and important lessons.
✓The Logo for this year’s exercise depicts crests and logos of all
participating agencies and flags of all nations subsumed into one single
entity to signify that HADR will hinge on joint and integrated action by the
all the agencies.

Indian Army says Agniveer Amritpal Singh denied Guard of Honour as per policy
- On October 11, Agniveer Amritpal Singh from Punjab, took his own life while
on sentry duty in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri sector.
- Notably, he was not accorded an Army Guard of Honour during his funeral.
- Singh was part of the Jammu and Kashmir Rifles battalion in the Poonch
sector. His cremation took place in his hometown in the Mansa district of
Punjab, without the traditional Army Guard of Honour.
- This omission has led to expressions of dismay from Punjab Chief Minister
Bhagwant Mann and other opposition parties in the state.
- The White Knight Corps clarified that due to the self-inflicted nature of
Singh's death, neither a guard of honor nor a military funeral was provided,
adhering to the established protocol.
- The Indian Army extended its heartfelt sympathies to Singh's grieving

family.
🇮🇳 May His Soul Rest In Peace

Armed Forces Flag Day 🇮🇳

Since 1949, 7th December is observed as the Armed Forces Flag Day throughout
the country to honour the martyrs and the men in uniform who valiantly fought
& continue to fight on our borders to safeguard the country's honour.
Soldiers are one of the greatest assets of any country.

They are the guardians of the nation and protect its citizens at all costs. To
fulfil their duties, soldiers have sacrificed a lot of things in their lives.
The country is forever indebted to these gallant heroes who lay down their
lives in the service towards the motherland.
It is our duty to not only show our admiration for the martyrs and the living
heroes who were wounded while doing their duties but also their families who
have been a crucial part of this sacrifice.

ISRO successfully injects Aditya-L1 🇮🇳🔥

Background:
* Launched on September 2nd, 2023, Aditya L1 is India's first dedicated solar

mission.
* Developed by ISRO and several Indian research institutes, it carries seven
advanced payloads for studying the Sun's atmosphere, solar storms, and their
impact on Earth's space environment.
* Its name combines "Aditya," meaning Sun in Sanskrit, and "L1," referring to
its destination point.
Current status:
* Aditya L1 successfully achieved its intended Earth-bound orbit after launch

and completed five maneuvers to gain the necessary velocity.
* It is now on a 110-day journey towards L1, which it is expected to reach on
January 6th, 2024 (today!).
* Once there, it will enter a halo orbit around L1, where it will stay in
perfect balance between the gravitational pull of the Sun and Earth. This
vantage point allows for an uninterrupted view of the Sun's corona and
chromosphere.
Scientific goals:
* Aditya L1 will study various aspects of the Sun, including:

* Coronal heating and mass ejections, which can disrupt satellites and power
grids on Earth.
* Pre-flare and flare activities, providing insights into the origins of solar
storms.
* Dynamics of space weather and the propagation of particles and fields in the
Sun's vicinity.
* Data collected by Aditya L1 is expected to significantly improve our
understanding of the Sun and its impact on Earth's space environment, leading
to better forecasting of space weather events.
217
Overall, Aditya L1 is a landmark mission for India and a significant step

forward in our understanding of the Sun. Its success will pave the way for
future solar missions and contribute to protecting our planet from the Sun's
unpredictable outbursts.

same region in 2003-04. Operation Sarpvinash was a success, resulting in the
elimination of 65 terrorists and four soldiers.
The Indian Army has said that Op Sarvashakti is a "surgical operation" and
that it is being conducted with the utmost care to avoid civilian casualties.
However, there have been some reports of civilian casualties in the operation.

Uniform Civil Code (UCC)
⚡️Uttarakhand is the first state in India to implement the Uniform Civil Code
(UCC).
- The UCC is a set of common personal laws governing matters such as marriage,
divorce, inheritance, and adoption for all citizens irrespective of their
religion or community. It replaces the existing personal laws specific to
different religious communities.
- The implementation of the UCC in Uttarakhand has been met with mixed
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.
Here are some additional details about the UCC in Uttarakhand:
- The UCC bill was drafted by a committee headed by retired Supreme Court
judge Ranjana Prakash Desai.
- The bill was passed by the Uttarakhand Assembly with a majority of 35 votes.
- The bill has been challenged in the High Court of Uttarakhand.
