RRB NTPC GK Questions 2026

The Ministry of Defence said this year's edition is being conducted in that form, which means officers of both countries talk through a disaster scenario around a planning table rather than moving ships, aircraft and troops into the field.

An NDRF team is joining Tiger Triumph for the first time in this 5th edition, which is significant because it brings the country's dedicated civil disaster-response agency into a military exercise built around Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief.

Visakhapatnam is the headquarters of the Eastern Naval Command, and the officer who presided from the Indian side, Rear Admiral Vishal Bishnoi, is the Flag Officer Commanding Eastern Fleet, which explains the choice of venue.

Tiger Triumph is the India-United States bilateral tri-service exercise devoted to Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief, and the opening ceremony of its 5th edition was held at the Maritime Warfare Centre in Visakhapatnam.

While tracing how urban rail has spread in the country, the Prime Minister said the first metro in India ran in 1984, and he contrasted that long start with the slow building that followed, pointing out that metro services were confined to five cities even in 2014.

The Prime Minister said that metro trains ran in only five Indian cities in 2014 and that the service has since spread to 26 cities.

The Prime Minister drew particular attention to the fact that this metro line is the product of joint effort by the government and the private sector, and he described it as a development model whose success would add pace to the country's progress.

The Pune Metro line dedicated to the public by the Prime Minister on this occasion runs from Hinjawadi to Shivajinagar, and its importance lies in the fact that Hinjawadi holds the city's largest information-technology cluster, which now gets direct metro connectivity.

ICD Dadri appears in the Health Ministry's proposal as an inland container depot in Uttar Pradesh, the same state that holds the proposal's only airport, Noida International Airport.

Among the locations the Health Ministry wants added to the list of authorised import gateways, this is the only airport, and it is named specifically for drugs brought in by air.

This is the provision of the Drugs Rules, 1945 that sets out the ports, airports, railway stations, road crossings and other points through which drugs may lawfully be brought into India, and it is the rule the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has proposed to amend.

The Marine Commandos did not sail out with the warship for the final move on the boat; they were added to the force at sea through a precision airdrop, and the aircraft named for that drop is an Indian Air Force C-17.

Every crew member aboard the fishing vessel Azini, twenty people in all, was taken off safely when the Indian Navy ended the hijacking off the north-eastern coast of Somalia, and the mission produced no casualties and no injuries.

This is the fishing vessel that an armed pirate group seized off the north-eastern coast of Somalia and that the Indian Navy later took back, with every one of the 20 people on board brought off safely and without a single casualty or injury.

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan, shortened to PM KUSUM, was launched then to push solar adoption in farming, cut dependence on diesel and let farmers diversify their earnings.

Agrivoltaics is also known as agrisolar or dual-use solar, the names pointing to the same idea of one plot of land serving two purposes, growing a crop and generating electricity.

That was India’s operational agrivoltaic fleet as of August 2025, and alongside it 10 pilot projects were under development. These projects are spread across different agro-climatic regions and use elevated structures, interspace layouts and tracking systems.

Speaking at AIIMS Rajkot, the Union Health Minister said the country had moved from a single AIIMS in New Delhi to 18 operational institutions out of 22, which he described as a significant strengthening of access to specialised tertiary healthcare.

That is the catchment the facility is expected to cover across Saurashtra, taking in Rajkot, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Porbandar, Amreli, Bhavnagar, Morbi, Surendranagar, Gir Somnath, Devbhumi Dwarka and Botad, a region made up largely of rural, semi-urban and economically weaker communities.

The facility at AIIMS Rajkot was established under this scheme at a cost of about Rs 39 crore, and the stated purpose was to reduce regional imbalance in the availability of tertiary healthcare.
