Teaching GK Questions 2026

The Climate Champion model of GCF-ECRICC puts such women to work as the link between technical knowledge and the villages that have to act on it, and they are called ECRICC Didi.

Narendra Bhooshan, Secretary in the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, said at the inaugural session that this mission would work as the fulcrum for coastal resilience and adaptive intervention, building on what the GCF-ECRICC project has produced.

Progress under the project in these three States, and the chance of replicating or scaling up what has worked, was presented at the workshop in the welcome address.

It held the workshop in New Delhi on 29 and 30 October 2026 under the Green Climate Fund project known as GCF-ECRICC, and its Secretary, Narendra Bhooshan, addressed the opening session.

That is the worth of the 23.46 lakh hospital admissions authorised under Ayushman Vay Vandana up to 20 October 2026, two years after the cover began on 29 October 2024.

The NHA runs Ayushman Vay Vandana for the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, and its Chief Executive, Dr. Sunil Kumar Barnwal, spoke on the second anniversary, saying older citizens should be able to reach healthcare with dignity and security and that money should not decide whether they get a…

By number of treatments it tops the list with 4.71 lakh procedures, close to 20.1 per cent of everything sanctioned under the scheme, and that volume points to how much untreated eye disease older people were living with before the cover arrived.

Ayushman Vay Vandana covers every Indian citizen who has completed 70 years of age, and it does so irrespective of income or social standing.

Speaking at the session, he said physical artificial intelligence is not merely an artificial intelligence problem but also a systems engineering problem, since an intelligent physical system works only when reliable sensors, efficient actuators, real-time computing, robust control algorithms, low-latency communication and energy-efficient hardware all hold together.

The Emerging Science, Technology and Innovation Conclave of 2026, in short ESTIC 2026, was held there from the twenty-seventh to the twenty-ninth of October 2026, bringing together people from science, technology, research and industry to discuss emerging technologies and innovation.

The Secretary of the Department of Science and Technology told the session on autonomous systems at the conclave that technology innovation hubs under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems have been established at twenty-five leading academic institutions spread across the country.

The Buildathon was conducted by the Department of School Education and Literacy of the Union Ministry of Education along with these two partners, with the aim of pushing creative problem solving, entrepreneurship and scientific curiosity among school students.

This is the number of project submissions recorded across the Idea Track and the Prototype Track, and it is the figure on which the Guinness World Records certification as the largest innovation solution competition rests.

The Guinness World Records certification for Viksit Bharat Buildathon 2025 was given under exactly this title, and it rests on the 2,87,967 project submissions that school students sent in under the Idea and Prototype tracks.

Alongside the testing programme, the agency held more than three hundred and fifty education and awareness sessions during the year, reaching twenty-seven thousand participants, which shows that prevention through awareness is being pursued in parallel with sample collection.

These are the three values that the UNESCO official named at the conclave as the ones the toolkit carries into education and sport, and they are to be taught through classroom activity rather than only on the playing field.

The choice of venue was not incidental: international delegates who had attended the statutory meetings of the UNESCO anti-doping conventions the previous day were present, which placed the classroom initiative squarely within the wider anti-doping effort.

The toolkit's video modules are to be made available in thirteen Indian languages so that the material can reach students in different parts of the country rather than only those comfortable in English or Hindi.

The first Tobacco-Free Youth Campaign was launched that day, timed to coincide with the observance, and it laid the base for a focused national effort against tobacco use among young people.

The fourth edition is a 60-day nationwide campaign, the same length the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has used for the drive each year since 2023.
