The conference featured four thematic technical sessions. The first dealt with health and survival across the life course, the second with girls education, learning and transition, the third with women work, wages, formality and care, and the fourth with women livelihoods, enterprises, skills and financial inclusion.

The conference was called to deliberate on and disseminate the findings of this flagship publication of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, so that the people who design and run programmes could read its results more deeply and use them across sectors.

The one-day national conference on the theme Gender Data and Statistics: From Evidence to Policy Insights was organised by MoSPI in collaboration with UN Women, and it was held in New Delhi on 2 November 2026.

Pumped storage schemes are grouped by how their reservoirs relate to natural watercourses, and the closed-loop variety keeps both reservoirs away from them.

The authority attributes this to the topography of the area and to the steep gradients of rivers that rise in the Western Ghats, since a pumped storage project needs two reservoirs at different heights within a short distance.

The correct answer is 7.43 GW, spread over ten projects, each with an installed capacity above twenty-five megawatts.

Installed geothermal capacity across the world reached a little over fifteen and a half gigawatts by the close of that year, and five countries, namely Indonesia, the United States, the Philippines, Turkiye and New Zealand, together accounted for roughly sixty-seven per cent of it.

The provinces run across very different terrains, from the Himalayan belt and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to the West Coast, the Cambay Graben, the Son-Narmada-Tapi zone and the cratonic region of southern India.

The valley sits more than fourteen thousand feet above sea level and has long been known for its hot springs and underground heat reserves, which is why it is counted among the most promising geothermal sites in India.

Winners and runners-up of the hackathon held on this theme were honoured at the same ceremony at Raipur, and their entries applied artificial intelligence to problems of operational efficiency, mine safety and environmental sustainability in the coal sector.

The correct answer is Singareni Collieries Company Limited, which took the First Prize among underground mines.

At the Annual Star Rating Awards Ceremony held at Raipur in Chhattisgarh, fifty coal mines were given Five-Star Ratings for the assessment year.

The Man and the Biosphere Programme was launched that year to promote scientific approaches to improving the relationship between people and their environment, and biosphere reserves work under its framework as living laboratories for testing sustainable development practices.

According to the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, India has 18 notified biosphere reserves and 13 of them belong to UNESCO’s World Network of Biosphere Reserves, which gives the country the highest number of internationally recognised reserves in South Asia.

The day is observed annually on this date and was proclaimed by UNESCO to highlight how biosphere reserves conserve biodiversity while supporting sustainable development and the livelihoods of people living inside them.

Dr M. L. Jat proposed expanding the traditional four-part vision of food, feed, fodder and fuel by placing farmers at the centre, stressing that research and extension must translate into higher farm profitability and improved livelihoods rather than remaining confined to laboratories.

Dr M. L. Jat, Secretary of the Department of Agricultural Research and Education and Director General of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, congratulated the maize research community on production reaching about 55 million tonnes with sizeable productivity gains over the past decade, and then set out the next goal…

The first edition of the conference began at the JD Convention Centre in that city and runs from 2 to 4 November, drawing scientists, policymakers, agricultural institutions and industry to discuss maize research, productivity and value chain development.

The programme was held at Guwahati and the Government of Assam presented its CM FLIGHT Scheme along with its vision for a Global Skill Center, setting out the state's effort to connect its workforce with emerging opportunities.

Letters of Intent for two Industrial Training Institute clusters were signed at the Guwahati programme, the Jorhat cluster supported by Numaligarh Refinery Limited and the Tinsukia cluster by Oil India Limited, both under the PM-SETU scheme.
