Railway GK Questions 2026

The backgrounder gives a running series of figures, and each belongs to a different date, which is where candidates slip.

The backgrounder states that the initiative is guided by the 3Cs and spells them out in exactly those words.

The release explains that the Ministry runs a comprehensive and evidence-based strategy under the National Action Plan for Drug Demand Reduction, and that the strategy is based on the findings of the first National Survey on the Extent and Pattern of Substance Use in India, carried out by that centre.

That is the total reach of the campaign as stated in the release.

The release states that the Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment launched the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan on that date to combat the demand for drugs in the country, which is why the campaign is now marking its sixth anniversary with a National Mass Pledge Against Drug Abuse.

The release explains that controlled chiral self-assembly aligns the molecular dipoles into such a structure, and calls it a fundamental structural requirement for piezoelectricity.

The team found that in water the peptide molecules form nanofibers and show no piezoelectric response. Introducing just that small share of a co-solvent reorganised the molecules into a highly ordered supramolecular arrangement, and the piezoelectric response switched on at once.

The release names it as the institute whose researchers took up peptides, and the work was led there by Dr Goutam Ghosh with his doctoral scholar Aparna Ramesh.

The release states that NHAI instituted the awards in 2025 as mandated in that policy, and describes them as reinforcing the Authority's commitment to joining environmental sustainability with the development of the National Highway network.

The release states that the evaluation used a comprehensive assessment framework in which the survival rate carried the highest weightage.

The release calls the response encouraging and puts the number of nominations received from across the country at that figure.

The review records that SRTMI and SWERIM of Sweden signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen cooperation in iron and steel research, technology and innovation.

The review names the Top 7 producers as SAIL, RINL, NSL, the TSL Group, AM/NS, JSL (JSPL) and the JSW Group.

The review records that NMDC mined that quantity of iron ore in August 2026, which is growth of 20.8 per cent over the same month a year earlier.

That pillar of the RAKSHA document speaks of strengthening India's role as a Net Security Provider and a First Responder in the Indian Ocean Region, and both phrases are standard usage in Indian maritime strategy.

The release calls RAKSHA a comprehensive framework that carries India's strategic roadmap and vision for global defence partnerships over the coming decade, and it repeats that the document gives a clear and actionable vision for the next ten years.

The release states plainly that he put out the RAKSHA document on defence diplomacy in New Delhi, and that the framework sets down India's strategic roadmap and vision for defence partnerships across the world for the next 10 years.

The joint statement lists what was actually concluded. A Letter of Intent was signed between the Defence Ministries of the two countries, giving a framework for staff talks, training, education, research and defence-industrial partnerships, and building on an understanding the two Defence Ministers reached in March 2025.

The joint statement sets out a straight exchange of support: India will contest a non-permanent seat on the Security Council for the 2028-29 term, and Belgium for the 2037-2038 term, with each backing the other.

The two leaders noted that Belgium was among the first European countries to establish diplomatic ties with India, and the statement fixes that year as 1947.
