📒 Short Notes: Why Stop at One-Liners?

Three compact explainers on different topics (no overlap with the quiz).

Sardar@150 Unity March National

What: A 180 km padyatra launched from Anand to commemorate Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s 150th birth anniversary, aimed at promoting national integration and the Ek Bharat–Aatmanirbhar Bharat agenda.

How: State and civil-society bodies organise route-level events, public talks and community engagements across districts to connect local governance priorities with national unity themes.

Why: Symbolic mass-mobilisation reinforces civic narratives, encourages participation in development programmes, and raises awareness about public-good schemes among rural voters and youth.

Andhra Pradesh — Creation of 3 New Districts State Reorganisation

What: Andhra Pradesh government approved three new districts — Polavaram, Markapuram and Madanapalle — taking the total to 29 districts to decentralise administration.

How: District bifurcation reallocates administrative headquarters, redistributes revenue and policing jurisdictions, and requires reworking of service delivery units and local planning bodies.

Why: Smaller districts aim to improve governance reach, shorten citizen–bureaucracy distances, and speed up implementation of development schemes, but require transitional funding and capacity-building.

SURYAKIRAN-XIX India–Nepal Exercise Defence

What: SURYAKIRAN-XIX is a bilateral military exercise held in Pithoragarh focusing on interoperability, UN Chapter VII operations, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR), and counter-terror training.
