It aims to compensate for revenue loss as the GST compensation cess on tobacco is set to end.  \n• Speaking at a conference on the 50th anniversary of the Biological Weapons Convention in New Delhi, External Affairs Minister warned that the world remains inadequately prepared for bioterrorism. He stressed that non-state actors can misuse biological agents and called for modernising the Convention with the Global South at its centre.  \nKEY EXAMPLES FOR EXAM  \n• UDISE+ data tabled in Parliament shows that while the total number of government schools has declined over six years, the number of schools with fewer than 10 or zero students has sharply increased to over 65,000 in 2024-25. Cite this while discussing the structural challenges facing India’s school system and the need for rationalizing educational resources.  \nKEY PERSPECTIVES FOR EXAM  \nAn article titled “Can India become self-reliant in REE production?” by V. Nivedita in The Hindu examines India’s efforts to secure critical rare earth elements amid China’s tightening control on global supply. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• China dominates global REE supply and has imposed export restrictions, directly impacting India’s electric vehicle and electronics sectors.  \n• Despite having 8% of global REE reserves, India still imports over 53,000 tonnes of REE magnets annually, highlighting its reliance on foreign sources.  \n• To reduce dependency, India launched the ₹16,300-crore National Critical Mineral Mission, focusing on exploration, processing, and recycling of minerals like lithium and cobalt.  \n• Complementing this, the Union Cabinet approved a ₹7,280-crore scheme to manufacture rare earth permanent magnets domestically, covering the entire value chain from extraction to finished products.  \n• While private sector participation is being encouraged, India continues to face challenges in refining infrastructure, skilled workforce, and regulatory clarity.  \n• To strengthen supply resilience, India is diversifying suppliers, investing in domestic production, and drawing lessons from Japan’s 2010 REE crisis.  \nAn article titled “Give States their fair share, protect their fiscal space” by C. Rangarajan and D.K. Srivastava in The Indian Express examines the trends and challenges in Centre-to-State fiscal transfers. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• Both Centre and States need higher tax receipts and an equitable transfer system to meet growing developmental and welfare demands.  \n• States’ fiscal space improved significantly under the 14th Finance Commission, with their share in central taxes rising from 32% to 42% and total post-transfer receipts increasing from 63.85% to 68.08% of combined revenue.  \n• The 15th Finance Commission saw a slight decline in States’fiscal space, due to reductions in tax devolution and their own revenue receipts.  \n• Influenced by changes in devolution formulas and the rise of non-sharable cesses high-income states like Haryana, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu experienced a modest fall in fiscal space.  \n• Recent GST reforms and discontinuation of GST compensation cess may further constrain States’ revenues, affecting their ability to meet developmental and welfare needs.  \nKEY STATS FOR EXAM  \n• Despite holding 8% of global rare earth element (REE) reserves, India currently produces less than 1% of global output.  \n• China controls 90% of REE processing and 70% of production, despite holding only 30% of global reserves.  \nGOOD PHRASES FOR EXAM  \n• Dual Use Research: It refers to scientific research that is intended for beneficial purposes but can also be misused to ca","cbCairlMPr4OGVJV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairlMPr4OGVJV","pdf",201248,"English","# Key Headlines\n## Exam-Focused Examples\n## Exam Perspectives\n## Exam Statistics\n## Good Phrases for Exam\n## Suggested Article","[{\"question\":\"What does the document identify as a key legal development related to scams?\",\"answer\":\"It states that the Supreme Court granted the CBI full authority to conduct a nationwide probe into rising “digital arrest” scams, overriding State consent.\"},{\"question\":\"Which exam data point from UDISE+ is emphasized?\",\"answer\":\"The document notes that while the total number of government schools declined over six years, schools with fewer than 10 or zero students rose sharply to over 65,000 in 2024-25.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the document frame India’s rare earth elements (REE) challenge?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights China’s dominance in REE supply and processing, India’s reliance on imports despite holding about 8% of reserves, and measures like the National Critical Mineral Mission and a scheme for domestic rare earth permanent magnets.\"}]","Lead IAS Daily One Pager - 02 December 2025 - Key Headlines, Exam Examples and Stats | PDF",1789941656]
