The move signals a strategic shift that could weaken the cartel’s influence over global oil markets.  \n• Andhra Pradesh launched a ₹1.35 lakh crore Google AI data centre project in Visakhapatnam, positioning the city as a major global technology hub.  \n• Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called for a unified approach to eliminate terrorism at the SCO meeting, stressing zero tolerance and action against state-sponsored terror. He also urged greater cooperation and diplomacy to address challenges ina fragmented global order.  \nKEY PERSPECTIVES FOR EXAM  \n• The Union Labour Ministry directed States to reschedule work hours and ensure water, rest areas, and cooling facilities for workers during heatwaves. Cite this while discussing labour welfare, centre–State coordination and worker safety.  \nKEY PERSPECTIVES FOR EXAM  \nAn article titled “The RTE Act and the idea of social inclusion” in The Hindu explains how shared schooling under Section 12(1)(c) of RTE Act advances social integration and equality. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• Section 12(1)(c) of the RTE Act mandates 25% reservation in private schools for children from economically weaker and disadvantaged groups.  \n• The Supreme Court also reaffirmed it as a constitutional tool to promote equality of status through shared classrooms.  \n• Further, it complements the State’s responsibility toward public education within a mixed schooling system.  \n• Such classrooms enhance social capital, aspirations, and exposure for disadvantaged children.  \n• However, challenges such as hidden costs, uneven implementation, and gaps in monitoring and grievance redress persist.  \nAn article titled “AI is changing national security bureaucracy. Without empathy, nuance, that is a dangerous turn” by C. Raja Mohan in Indian Express highlights how AI is reshaping diplomacy. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• Singapore’s Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan built and shared a personal AI assistant, signalling the growing role of AI in diplomacy.  \n• The system integrates communication, scheduling, and memory to improve real-time decision-making.  \n• This reflects a broader shift where AI strengthens institutional memory and analytical capacity without replacing human diplomatic skills.  \n• Consequently, even smaller diplomatic teams can match the capabilities of larger missions.  \n• At the same time, it reduces routine tasks, allowing diplomats to focus on relationships and strategic thinking.  \n• However, reliance on AI remains limited by its inability to fully  \ngrasp nuance and context in complex situations.  \nAn article titled “Great power games have a new variable: Chokepoints” by Abhijit Singh in Indian Express highlights how strategic maritime chokepoints are emerging as key arenas of geopolitical contestation. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• The Strait of Hormuz is witnessing a duelling assertion of control by the U.S. and Iran, making transit risky without a formal blockade.  \n• As a result, commercial shipping faces growing uncertainty, with vessels caught between competing enforcement actions.  \n• This, in turn, has led to rising insurance costs and disruptionsin oil, LNG, and key industrial supply chains.  \n• If prolonged, these disruptions could escalate into global economic shocks similar to past oil crises.  \n• More broadly, the crisis signals a shift where maritime chokepoints are increasingly contested, challenging the idea of guaranteed open sea access.  \nGOOD PHRASES FOR EXAM  \n• Judicial propriety: It refers to the adherence of judges to ethical standards and appropriate conduct to maintain impartiality and public confidence in the judiciary.  \nSUGGESTED ARTICLES FOR EXAM  \n• A recusal test the Delhi High Court failed","cbCaihVUCsI7zAkN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihVUCsI7zAkN","pdf",200368,"English","# Key Headlines\n# Key Perspectives for Exam\n## Labour welfare during heatwaves\n## RTE Act and social inclusion\n## AI in diplomacy and national security\n## Chokepoints in great power competition\n# Good Phrases for Exam\n# Suggested Articles for Exam","[{\"question\":\"What major change did the UAE announce regarding OPEC/OPEC+?\",\"answer\":\"The UAE announced its exit from OPEC and OPEC+.
