The VVER 1,000-MWe reactor vessel for the sixth unit of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KKNPP) is being transported to the construction site in Tirunelveli district. The 320-tonne equipment was made at the plant of Atommash, the mechanical engineering division of Rosa- tom State Corporation, and shipped on the eve of 2025. Currently, four VVER 1,000-MWe reactors are being built at the KKNPP site according to a Russian design. Two units with a similar capacity have been generating power since 2013 and 2016 respectively.

His first Presidency, that he expounds an "America First" doctrine. He debunks multilateralism in global politics, and he trashes international agreements that he believes do not favour the United States. He prefers bilateral agreements over multilateral ones: witness his approach to the Paris Climate Agreement (from which he withdrew and is likely to withdraw again) and to trade agreements such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership. His MAGA ("Make America Great Again") policy will have implications influencing global geopolitics. This will entail a rise of protectionism in global trade (free trade is an anachronism in this scheme of things), escalating tariffs and trade wars and increased economic uncertainty.

despite decades of advocacy, nearly one in three women worldwide has endured violence at the hands of men.Violence against women can be seen, somewhat paradoxically, as a quintessential "men's issue" - a societal issue that demands the active engagement of men. UNESCO's Transforming MENtalities initiative has aimed to shift the way men engage with gender issues - not just as allies but as active participants in social transformation. Inch closer to Agenda 2030 - working to create an inclusive and equal world - UNESCO, in collaboration with the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), is proud to present the report, "Engaging Men and Boys: A Report on Pathways to Gender Equality in India". This report documents 10 pioneering programmes across India that engage men and boys to address gender inequality.

The Central government brought an amendment to Rule 93(2) of the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961, to restrict public access to election-related records. The amendment came days after the Punjab and Haryana High Court directed the Election Commission of India (ECI) to provide information under Rule 93(2) of the Conduct of Election Rules. Copies of Form 17C and CCTV footage of the Assembly elections in Haryana were among the records sought by the petitioner. The amendment to Rule 93(2) narrows the scope of people's right to information by adding a qualification that only "papers as specified in these rules relating to the election shall be open to public inspection". Records related to the electoral process, including Form 17C, video recordings and CCTV footage, will potentially get caught in the cross hairs of the new amendment.

Originally intended for small and marginal farmers, the scheme, which was launched in February 2019, was later extended to all farmers who owned land when the National Democratic Alliance retained power in May 2019. The government made it clear in Parliament that there was no proposal to expand the scheme furth- er to bring in tenant farmers under the fold. At the time of expansion in 2019, the scheme was expected to cost ₹87,217.5 crore to the public exchequer for 2019-20 with the total number of beneficiaries being around 14.5 crore. However, in the last six years, neither did the amount disbursed exceed ₹70,000 crore during any year, nor did the number of beneficiaries touch the 14.5-crore mark.

An oral question from the Supreme Court to the Union government continues to remain unanswered even as rescue workers recover bodies of workers who died trapped in a flood rat-hole coal mine at Dima Hasao district in Assam. On January 11, 2019, the top court had asked whether rat-hole mines could possibly operate in the northeast hills without the "connivance" of officials. Rat-hole mining, of two types, is so named as it involves digging tunnels 3-4 feet deep, barely allowing workers to crawl in and out. Apart from issues of safety and health, unregulated mining led to land degradation, deforestation, and water with high concentrations of sulphates, iron, and toxic heavy metals, low dissolved oxygen, and high biochemical oxygen demand. At least two rivers, Lukha and Myntdu, became too acidic to sustain aquatic life. These factors led to the NGT banning rat-hole mining in Meghalaya in 2014.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) announced that the indigenously developed third-generation fire-and-forget anti-tank guided missile, Nag Mk-2, and the entire system was ready for induction into the Army following successful field firing trials. Field evaluation trials of Nag Mk-2 were successfully conducted recently at the Pokhran Field Range in the presence of senior officers of the Army, the DRDO said in a statement. "During the three field trials, the missile systems destroyed precisely all the targets - maximum and minimum range, thus validating its firing range," it said.

India is going through a cyclical growth slowdown driven by fiscal consolidation and slower credit growth on macroprudential tightening of consumer loans by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), a Goldman Sachs report argued. Stating that the "fastest growth pace in public capex is behind us", the firm averred that the central government's fiscal impulse shall remain a drag on India's growth in 2025-26.
