The DBIM and GIGW standards, in their 3.0 versions, are the government’s norms for the look, the security and the accessibility of official websites, and the new portal has been built to follow them.

The quiz sought to engage participants in learning about human rights, about that Act and about the functions, powers and duties of the National Human Rights Commission in promoting and protecting human rights across the country.

That is the number of entries actually submitted, and they came from every State and Union Territory of the country.

A student selected under the academy's PhD programme carries out the research at a Ministry of Earth Sciences institute under the supervision of Ministry scientists who have been recognised as AcSIR faculty, but the degree itself is awarded by the academy, and the certificate explicitly names the host institute.

The Memorandum of Understanding itself had been executed earlier, on 21 August 2026, so the ceremony was the formal declaration and exchange of documents rather than the signing.

Under the agreement every one of the Ministry's premier research institutes has been recognised as an AcSIR Associated Research Institute, and all of them are already taking part in the academy's current PhD enrolment cycle.

The International Renewable Energy Agency put world installed pumped hydro capacity at 159.8 GW at the end of 2025. China held close to 66 GW of that, far ahead of the rest.

As solar and wind capacity grows, electricity has to be stored when generation runs ahead of demand and returned when it falls short, so the Central Electricity Authority projects a storage requirement of that size by 2031-32.

The Central Electricity Authority credits that lead to the landform of the region and the steep gradients of rivers that rise in the Western Ghats, which give engineers the height difference a pumped storage scheme needs.
