7 September 2026 Current Affairs: Bye-Election Schedule

The Defence Acquisition Council, meeting under the chairmanship of the Raksha Mantri, gave Acceptance of Necessity to acquisition proposals of the three Services at an estimated cost of about that amount.

The release states that the meeting was held under the chairmanship of Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh, so the Defence Minister heads this council.

The release puts the Arudhra Radar in the Navy's list, together with the design, development and later purchase of Marine Gas Turbines, and says plainly that the radar will take the place of the existing Air Route Surveillance Radars.

DEFSAC stands for the Defence Forces Secure Access Card, and the release says it will replace the paper system now in use with interoperable smart cards that work on radio frequency identification.

The correct answer is 6 October 2026, the date of poll in the schedule annexed to the Commission's announcement.

The Commission's list places Nandigram along with Rejinagar in West Bengal, both vacant because the sitting members resigned.

The Commission's note recalls that Section 14 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950 was amended by the Election Laws (Amendment) Act of 2021, and that the amendment provides four qualifying dates in a year on which a citizen may be enrolled as a voter.

The ministry explained that the theme is meant to join the country's inheritance in Ayurveda to the health needs of the years ahead, which is why the word tomorrow sits in it.

The Vice-Chancellor of the National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur listed the items planned for the day, and this vision document sits among them along with safety dossiers on medicinal plants, Standard Treatment Guidelines for skin diseases, a report on the Ayush services sector and the exchange of memoranda of understanding.

The release repeats this figure three times, once for the coverage of the programme, once for the cities that took part in the ranking exercise, and once for the cities whose air quality management is tracked on the PRANA portal, so it is the single number a candidate must carry…

The correct answer is the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, on which the ministry held Swachh Vayu Diwas and gave away the fifth round of Swachh Vayu Sarvekshan awards.

The ministry set out the record on PM10 for the year 2025-26 against the base of the financial year 2017-18 in four steps, and every one of those steps appears among the options here, which is what makes the question worth practising.

The Secretary of the ministry explained that the National Clean Air Programme gives every city a framework within which it works out its own strategy for clean air, while this portal follows the various parameters of air quality management for the cities under the programme.

The hosts were the United States Department of Commerce and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the consensus text agreed there takes its name from the State, being called the Carolina Principles for Emerging Technologies.

The word that carries the meaning is aggregating, because the whole purpose of the platform is to pool the freight demand of shippers and logistics service providers so that it becomes large enough and visible enough to justify electric trucks on a corridor.

The correct answer is from 201 vehicles to 826 vehicles, a rise of more than four times in a single year, which is the figure NITI Aayog used to show that the electric freight market has begun to move.

The release describes e-FAST India, which expands to Electric Freight Accelerator for Sustainable Transport - India, as a platform led by NITI Aayog that brings government and industry together, including original equipment manufacturers, logistics service providers, financiers, shippers and charge point operators, with a focus on medium and heavy-duty vehicles.

The Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation presented the President's Colour to this force at Panaji, the capital of Goa, saying that after eight decades of distinguished service it now stands alongside the other police forces of the country that carry this honour.

The correct answer is the National Quantum Mission, described in the release as the flagship mission of the Department of Science and Technology, which funded part of this study.
