Speaking at the inauguration, the Union Home Minister said that the 2030 Commonwealth Games will mark the centenary edition of those Games, and that it is a matter of great joy that Ahmedabad will host the event.

The release records that the Union Home Minister extended his best wishes to the 108 athletes from 19 countries participating in the World Archery Para Series, and that the participating nations include Bhutan, the United Kingdom, China, Bangladesh, France, Germany, Indonesia and the United States.

The release explains that the Earth Science Olympiad journey begins with an all-India test facilitated by this body, in which roughly 17,800 students appeared across 500 centres nationwide.

The medals were won across the Written and Practical examinations, the International Team Field Investigation and the Earth Science Project categories.

The release records that Indian student delegates delivered their best-ever performance at the 19th International Earth Science Olympiad, held under the aegis of the International Geoscience Organisation in Turin, Italy, from 20 to 27 August 2026.

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 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 release says the adventure awards will be conferred by the President of India at Rashtrapati Bhavan along with those sports awards, and that the date of the ceremony will be announced separately.

The list approved by the Government places Shiv Prasad Chamoli in that category, which honours a sustained record in adventure rather than one outstanding feat.

The award has exactly four categories and that is not one of them. Three of the four are defined by where the feat takes place, namely Land Adventure, Water Adventure and Air Adventure, and the fourth is Lifetime Achievement, which recognises a career rather than a single exploit.

The release states that every awardee receives three things: a statuette, a certificate and award money of Rs 15 lakh.

CSIR-NPL provides traceability of Indian Standard Time to ISRO for the NavIC system, which allows the time to be spread by satellite and strengthens both the availability and the resilience of national timing services.

CSIR-NPL, ISRO and the Legal Metrology Department jointly established secondary timescales at Regional Reference Standard Laboratories in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar, Faridabad and Guwahati.

It is India's National Metrology Institute, mandated to set up primary national standards and to disseminate them.

The Rules were notified by the Department of Consumer Affairs on 27 August 2026 and published in the Official Gazette on 29 August 2026, and the release states that they take effect 180 days from the date of that publication.

Speaking about what lies ahead, the Minister noted that the RDI Fund is offering support at a later stage, at the TRL4 level, and that the Technology Development Board was the first to roll out its proposals under the fund.
