The move came amid scrutiny over the deletion of around 13 crore names from the electoral rolls during the SIR.  \n• ISRO laid the foundation for a new Network for space object TRacking and Analysis (NETRA) facility near Guwahati to strengthen radar-based satellite tracking and Space Situational Awareness. The facility will also support atmospheric and space-weather studies, weather forecasting, flood warnings, lightning nowcasting and aviation services.  \nKEY EXAMPLES FOR EXAM  \n• National Education Policy 2020 adopted a participatory approach, with consultations across 2.5 lakh gram panchayatsand urban local bodies, and citizen inputs incorporated into the final policy. Cite this while discussing citizen participation and participatory policymaking.  \nKEY PERSPECTIVES FOR EXAM  \nAn Editorial titled “Industry is growing, but isn’t creating jobs” in The Indian Express discusses how India’s manufacturing growth has not translated into sufficient employment opportunities. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• India’s formal manufacturing sector has grown steadily, withoutput and employment rising and organised manufacturing employment crossing 2 crore in 2024–25.  \n• However, this growth has not been sufficient to absorb the wider workforce, with 73.1% of non-farm workers still engaged in the informal sector.  \n• This limited employment absorption is also linked to weak productivity and wage growth, as output per worker has remained broadly stagnant while wages have grown slower than profits.  \n• This gap between profits, wages and productivity has wider implications for household consumption, investment and overall economic productivity.  \n• Consequently, manufacturing has not yet emerged as an engine of mass employment, limiting opportunities for workers moving out of agriculture, particularly low-skilled workers.  \nAn Editorial titled “For new energy, remove old bottlenecks” in Indian Express discusses the need to address transmission and storage constraints for India’s renewable-energy transition. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• India has over 300 GW of renewable-energy capacity, but transmission constraints have limited the availability of green power during peak demand.  \n• To address this bottleneck, Green Energy Corridor Phase-III aims to strengthen transmission systems to evacuate up to 135 GW of renewable energy, along with 50 GWh of battery storage.  \n• This makes stronger intra-state transmission networks essential, as renewable generation is concentrated in specific regions while demand is spread across the country.  \n• However, expanding transmission infrastructure faces persistent challenges, including right-of-way compensation, land acquisition and delays in environmental clearances.  \n• Alongside transmission, effective battery storage will be crucial, requiring viable business models, incentives, recycling arrangements and clear rules on its use and cost-sharing.  \n• Addressing these challenges will require closer Centre-State coordination, faster decision-making and integrated monitoring to ensure reliable renewable power delivery.  \nAn article titled “To cash in on next tech boom, India needs the right chips” by Rajeev Chandrasekhar in The Indian Express discusses the need for India to build capabilities in high-value chip design and technology. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• India’s technological sovereignty is becoming increasingly important, as technology access is emerging as a tool of geopolitical influence and denial.  \n• India has strong foundations to build this capability, with a large pool of engineers and initiatives such as the India Semiconductor Mission, Design Linked Incentive Scheme and IndiaAI M","cbCaiiwxjS2AS6ie","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiwxjS2AS6ie","pdf",198438,"English","# Key Headlines\n## Key Examples for Exam\n## Key Perspectives for Exam\n## Key Perspectives for Exam (Crime & Safety)\n## Good Phrases for Exam\n## Suggested Articles for Exam","[{\"question\":\"What voter-related action did the Election Commission direct for 20 states and union territories?\",\"answer\":\"It directed them to conduct a special drive to enrol voters left out of the electoral rolls after the nationwide Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
