The pact seeks to strengthen regional security, peace and stability, and deepen cooperation among the three countries.  \nKEY EXAMPLES FOR EXAM  \n• The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued national security guidelines restricting solar, wind and hybrid renewable energy projects within 1 km of international borders, citing concerns over strategic security. This can be cited while discussing security clearances, and strategic infrastructure.  \n• The Union government has officially identified 27 geographical features in Arunachal Pradesh, reinforcing India’s territorial integrity in response to China’s attempts torename places. Cite while discussing territorial integrity, cartographic assertion and India’s response to Chinese claims.  \nKEY PERSPECTIVES FOR EXAM  \nAn article titled “Food Security Act amendments will hurt the poorest” by Jean Dreze and Mohammad Zameer in Indian Express discusses concerns over proposed changes to the National Food Security Act. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• The National Food Security Act (NFSA), 2013 covers 75% of rural and 50% of urban populations, while Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) households receive 35 kg of foodgrains per month.  \n• The proposed shift from household-based to individual entitlements could disadvantage vulnerable AAY households, particularly smaller families.  \n• Launched in 2000, AAY specifically targets the poorest of the poor, making dilution of its benefits a major equity concern.  \n• Also, replacing foodgrain support with cash may expose beneficiaries to food-price and wage disparities, weakening the protective role of the Public Distribution System.  \n• Ultimately, reforms should improve targeting and delivery without diluting the food-security guarantees available to the poorest households.  \nAn editorial titled “Pay wall” in The Hindu discusses concerns over introducing charges on Unified Payments Interface transactions. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• The Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026 enables the government to notify transactions that may attract UPI charges.  \n• The proposed charge could apply to large merchants with turnover above ₹1–1.5 crore and transactions exceeding ₹2,000, potentially affecting only about 5% of UPI transactions.  \n• Since UPI was made free in 2020, charging users could undermine its adoption and encourage a shift back towards cash.  \n• Going forward, the challenge is to build a resilient and sustainable UPI ecosystem that can support rapid digital  \nexpansion without compromising affordability, accessibility or innovation.  \nAn editorial titled “Prudent approach” in The Hindu discusses the Reserve Bank of India’s cautious monetary policy stance amid persistent inflationary pressures and global uncertainties. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25% for the fourth consecutive meeting, signalling a data-dependent, \"wait-and-watch\" approach.  \n• Headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rose to 4.38% in June, exceeding the RBI's 4% target, driven primarily by food and fuel prices, while transport-service inflation more than doubled, indicating broadening cost pressures.  \n• Against the backdrop of elevated crude oil prices, global supply shocks and capital outflows, the RBI continues to prioritise price stability, adequate domestic liquidity and stronger foreign exchange reserves.  \n• Overall, the RBI seeks to strike a balance between supporting economic growth and containing inflation, while remaining vigilant to evolving domestic and global risks.  \nKEY STATS FOR EXAM  \n• As per recent data, India’s foreign exchange reserves increased by $10.5billion to $692.9 billion during the week ended July 31.
