Schedule M sits inside the Drugs Rules, 1945, and it is this schedule that the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has proposed to amend.

The minister named these as the channel through which Ayush-based health services are reaching people where they live, and he paired the point with a call for scientific research, quality standards and evidence-based practice in India's traditional systems of medicine.

The Ayush Minister cited this maxim to make the case that prevention deserves as much attention as treatment, noting that discussion of health usually begins only after an illness has already developed.

It was in that capacity that he appealed to citizens to make health and disease prevention part of their Dhanteras observance.

Dhanteras is observed in that form as well, and the day recalls the appearance of Lord Dhanvantari during the Samudra Manthan, the churning of the ocean, when he emerged bearing the Amrit Kalash.

The whole design of the pact rests on it: DAKSHIN works for the countries of the Global South, and CSIR is bringing its ready-to-deploy, affordable and adaptable technologies to that group.

The Director General of RIS, Professor Sachin Kumar Sharma, named five areas as holding particular promise: healthcare, infrastructure, agriculture, the blue economy and the digital economy.

That is what DAKSHIN is, and it sits at the Research and Information System for Developing Countries, working to spread knowledge and mutual learning among developing countries.

DAKSHIN, the Global South Centre of Excellence, is housed at RIS, and it was in that capacity that it signed the Letter of Association with CSIR on 3 November 2026.

In the same round, the steepest margin over an individual plot's floor price came to 67.65 per cent.

The first phase, held on 12 October 2026, placed 150 parcels, and the second phase on 3 November 2026 placed another 114, so the two rounds together account for 264 parcels sold for Rs 584.33 crore against a combined reserve price of Rs 497.29 crore.

NLMC is a wholly government-owned company under that department, and its mandate is to spot, assess, ready and place in the market the surplus land and buildings held by central public sector enterprises and other government bodies.

The second phase of the land sale run by the National Land Monetization Corporation closed at Visakhapatnam on 3 November 2026, and the 114 parcels that found buyers brought in bids worth Rs 218 crore in all.

A business delegation of that many Indian companies travelled with Jitin Prasada, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry and for Electronics and Information Technology, on his two-day programme in Poland.

He asked companies from both countries to use the coming India-European Union Free Trade Agreement to widen market access and deepen investment ties.

The two visits together show how quickly senior exchanges are now following one another between the two countries.

The India-Poland Strategic Partnership was set up in that year, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi made his landmark visit to Poland, and the ministerial travel of November 2026 was described as carrying that partnership forward.

The meeting focused on strengthening bilateral cooperation in three named areas of mutual interest, which are marine pollution response, maritime search and rescue, and maritime law enforcement, so options A, B and C all appear in the record of the talks and cannot be the answer.

The correct answer is Paramesh Sivamani, who is the Director General of the Indian Coast Guard and led the Indian delegation at the ninth High-Level Meeting.

The ninth High-Level Meeting between the two coast guards was held at Mirissa in Sri Lanka, which means the host of this round was the Sri Lankan service.
