Cite this while discussing participatory governance and Government policies.  \n• The Supreme Court’s direction to involve students in educating their elders on waste segregation and responsible waste management exemplifies intergenerational learning and citizen participation in environmental governance.  \nKEY PERSPECTIVES FOR EXAM  \nAn article titled “After Naxalism, what replaces the Red Corridor?” by Vikram Singh in The Indian Express examines the need to sustain security gains through development and institutional presence. In this context, the following points are noteworthy.  \n• The Centre declared India free from Naxalism on March 31, 2026, marking a major turning point in the fight against LWE.  \n• This outcome followed a strategy combining intelligence-led operations, coordination between central and state forces, disruption of Maoist financing, rehabilitation and an expanded security grid.  \n• As part of this security push, CRPF’s specialised CoBRA units, along with state police forces, conducted operations such as Black Forest, Octopus, Double Bull and Chakrabandha.  \n• The strengthened security presence then enabled the state to expand its reach, with 408 new security camps and 597 fortified police stations established since 2014.  \n• Building on these security gains, a development corridor was created through 12,000+ km of roads, 1,804 bank branches, 1,321 ATMs and 6,025 post offices in affected areas.  \n• Alongside physical infrastructure, mobile connectivity, Eklavya schools, ITIs and skill development centres have helped integrate previously isolated communities.  \n• The key challenge now is to ensure a smooth transition from security-led intervention to sustained development, replacing the space once occupied by insurgency with institutions, livelihoods and opportunities.  \nAn article titled “Vote of Trust” in The Hindu examines the debate over electoral integrity and public trust in India’s election process. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• President Trump’s praise of India’s election system has renewed the debate over electoral integrity and voter verification in India and the U.S.  \n• Both countries seek clean electoral rolls and fair elections, but political mistrust has made election integrity a contentious issue.  \n• India has a centralised election system led by the ECI, while the U.S. follows a more decentralised system with states playing a major role.  \n• This has led to suggestions that the U.S. could strengthen its electoral system through a more robust national framework.  \n• Both countries are debating measures such as citizenship verification and photo ID for voting, but concerns remain over transparency and the possible exclusion of certain groups.  \n• The focus should therefore be on clean electoral rolls and secure voting while ensuring that election-integrity measures are not misused against political or social groups.  \nAn ar","cbCaiuDBMBC4v9in","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuDBMBC4v9in","pdf",201820,"English","# Key Headlines\n## Key Examples for Exam\n## Key Perspectives for Exam\n## Good Phrases for Exam\n## Suggested Articles for Exam","[{\"question\":\"What reform did the Supreme Court call for regarding the NTA?\",\"answer\":\"It called for NTA reforms to be institutionalised with meaningful continuity, rather than relying on knee-jerk responses after exam crises such as NEETUG 2026 paper leaks.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the document suggest using ‘One Day, One University’ in an exam answer?\",\"answer\":\"It suggests citing the programme to discuss participatory governance and government policies, noting the planned engagement with Gen Z and discussion of welfare schemes.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the main challenge identified after security gains in the Naxalism-related perspective?\",\"answer\":\"The challenge is to ensure a smooth transition from security-led intervention to sustained development, replacing insurgency space with institutions, livelihoods, and opportunities.\"}]","Lead IAS Daily One Pager - 20 August 2026 | PDF",1789941743]
