The SETU NSP App brings scholarship services onto a single platform, and lending has nothing to do with the Pre-Matric and Post-Matric Scholarships it serves.

The correct answer is the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, through its Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, which launched the app in April 2026.

Prince Noble and Manu Francis stood second in the Men’s Skiff for the silver, while Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru won the Men’s Compound Individual bronze medal match.

Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru came through the Men’s Compound Individual bronze medal match at the Asian Games, and the Prime Minister praised him for accuracy under pressure, for his composure and for an unyielding spirit, saying he had brought the country great credit.

The two of them finished second in the Men’s Skiff event at the Asian Games 2026 and took the silver medal, and the Prime Minister congratulated them on a result he said was built on skill and determination, adding that they had bettered their previous performances to reach the podium…

That is the event at which the Indian women's squash side finished on the podium with a bronze medal and for which the Prime Minister sent his congratulations to the players.

The bronze was won by the Indian Women's Squash Team, and while congratulating them the Prime Minister added a remark about the game itself, saying the success would motivate young people towards squash and that the sport is becoming popular in India.

The Indian women's team in squash finished third in its event at the Games and so took the bronze medal, a result the Prime Minister described as a richly deserved place on the podium while congratulating the players for a spirited effort and for the resolve they showed.

The scheme is built for meritorious children of economically weaker households, so an income test applies along with the marks test, and the parental income of an applicant must not cross that figure.

Fresh scholarships under the scheme go to Class IX students who qualify in the selection examination conducted by the respective State or Union Territory government, and one lakh such awards are made every year.

A student selected under the scheme receives that amount every year, and the money is credited straight into the student's own bank account through Direct Benefit Transfer, which removes middlemen from the payment chain.

That is where Paranur Toll Plaza stands, and it is the stretch on which Tamil Nadu received its first barrier-less tolling arrangement from the National Highways Authority of India.

Cameras at the plaza read the registration plate of every vehicle that crosses, and the FASTag-based Electronic Toll Collection system then debits the user fee from the account linked to that vehicle.

It lies on the Tambaram-Tindivanam section of NH-179B and has become the first location in Tamil Nadu where the National Highways Authority of India charges toll without a boom barrier, letting vehicles roll through while cameras and FASTag settle the fee.

An alkene carries one carbon-to-carbon double bond, and that bond uses up two hydrogen atoms that a saturated chain would have held, so the formula drops from CnH2n+2 to CnH2n. Putting n equal to 2 gives C2H4, ethene, the simplest alkene; n equal to 3 gives C3H6, propene.

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons in which carbon atoms are joined only by single bonds, and such a chain carries the largest possible number of hydrogen atoms, given by CnH2n+2.

Carbon is a non-metal, so it does not show metallic character; it neither loses electrons to form positive ions nor shows the lustre and malleability of metals.
