The new Code will be interpreted on its own text and context, potentially reshaping the scope of labour rights and protections.  \nKEY EXAMPLES FOR EXAM  \n• India and Japan have signed a Maritime Security Cooperation pact to strengthen defence ties and support a free and open Indo-Pacific. Cite this while discussing India–Japan relations and Maritime security in the Indo-Pacific region.  \n• The government plans to expand the NAMASTE scheme to rural areas and cover drain cleaners and sewage treatment workers, strengthening efforts to eliminate hazardous sanitation work and improve workers’ safety and livelihoods. Cite this while discussing Welfare schemes for vulnerable sections and Waste management.  \nKEY PERSPECTIVES FOR EXAM  \nAn article titled “Climate resilience starts with the health workforce” by Priyanka Tomar in the Indian Express examines the need to institutionalise climate-health competencies across India’s health workforce. In this context, the following points are noteworthy.  \n• Climate-related health risks are increasing, raising concerns over whether surge capacities can be sustained across states, districts and different levels of the health system.  \n• The challenge is compounded by India’s shortage of health workers, making it difficult to meet sudden increases in demand during climate-related emergencies.  \n• Climate resilience requires more than individual skills; existing public health capacities such as disease surveillance, emergency preparedness, risk communication and community engagement must be strengthened through a climate lens.  \n• However, climate-health training remains fragmented and largely dependent on donor- or project-supported programmes, with limited institutionalisation within health workforce systems.  \n• India needs to integrate climate-health competencies across the workforce lifecycle, including pre-service education, continuing training, workforce planning, supervision and performance management.  \n• This requires sustained governance, financing and institutional support so that climate preparedness becomes part of routine  \nhealth-system practice rather than being activated only during emergencies.  \nAn article titled “English indigenous or foreign language? Supreme Court for examining constitutionality” by Ananthakrishnan G. in Indian Express examines the constitutional and practical concerns surrounding English under the CBSE’s three-language policy. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• The Supreme Court is examining whether English can be classified as a “non-indigenous” language under the CBSE’s three-language policy, given its deep historical roots in Indian society.  \n• The debate also raises a larger question of how language should be classified in a culturally diverse India, with the Court noting that English cannot simply be treated as a foreign language or a native language.  \n• The NEP 2020 three-language policy seeks to promote themother tongue and other Indian languages while allowing a third language, including a foreign language.  \n• However, implementation faces practical challenges, including inadequate infrastructure and shortage of qualified teachers, particularly for languages such as Sanskrit.  \n• These concerns are significant because only around 4% of schools a","cbCaiflWP4DA2YNy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiflWP4DA2YNy","pdf",195604,"English","# Key Headlines\n# Key Examples for Exam\n# Key Perspectives for Exam\n## Climate resilience and the health workforce\n## English language and CBSE’s three-language policy\n# Good Phrases for Exam\n# Suggested Articles for Exam","[{\"question\":\"What were the key headlines on centre–state coordination in southern water disputes?\",\"answer\":\"The Union Home Minister called for early resolution of pending water disputes among southern States through Centre–State coordination and dialogue during the 31st Southern Zonal Council meeting.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the document describe changes to citizenship application processing under the CAA?\",\"answer\":\"The Union Home Ministry authorised District Collectors in eight States and Union Territories to process pending citizenship applications under the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), 2019, replacing an earlier multi-agency committee mechanism.\"},{\"question\":\"Which exam perspectives are highlighted from Indian Express articles?\",\"answer\":\"One article focuses on institutionalising climate-health competencies across India’s health workforce, and another examines constitutional and practical concerns around English within the CBSE three-language policy.\"}]","Lead IAS Daily One Pager - 21 August 2026 | PDF",1789941748]
