Pick answers, hit Submit to reveal. Acronyms are expanded in the explanations.
1. Concept • DoT SIM-Linking for Messaging Apps
Under the Department of Telecommunications’ new rules for apps like WhatsApp & Telegram, what is the core purpose of continuous SIM-linking with time-bound web logins?
Why DoT Wants SIM-Linked Messaging DoT: The Department of Telecommunications now requires continuous linkage between a user’s Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and their messaging account.
Key design: Web sessions auto-logout in around six hours and need QR-code re-login, so anonymous long-term web misuse becomes harder.
Exam angle: Remember that the primary goal is fraud prevention, traceability and quick blocking of scam accounts, not merely data or convenience changes.
2. Concept • NBBL Banking Connect (NPCI Bharat BillPay Ltd.)
What does the new Banking Connect platform launched by NPCI Bharat BillPay Ltd. (NBBL) mainly offer to banks?
Banking Connect — What Problem It Solves NBBL: NPCI Bharat BillPay Ltd. created Banking Connect so banks integrate once with a common net-banking layer.
Before: Each bank had to separately integrate with multiple payment aggregators, which was costly and slow.
Now: A single connection links banks to all supported aggregators and allows secure biometric or QR-based authentication, improving customer experience and reducing technology overheads for the banking system.
3. Concept • 60th DGP–IGP Conference, Raipur
At the 60th Conference of Directors General & Inspectors General of Police in Raipur, which theme best captures the focus of Prime Minister Modi’s address?
Modernising Policing — Vision 2047 DGP–IGP meet: The annual conference gathers top police leadership from all states and central agencies.
PM’s focus: Use artificial intelligence, data analytics and strong forensic support to make investigations faster, more scientific and citizen-centric.
Vision 2047 link: By India’s 100th year of Independence, the goal is a modern, technology-intensive police force capable of dealing with cybercrime, terrorism and complex organised crime more effectively.

📒 Short Notes: Why Stop at One-Liners?

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

India’s Long-Term Population Stabilisation Projection Demography

What: Projections suggest India’s population may stabilise around 1.8–1.9 billion by about 2080 as fertility gradually declines toward replacement level.

Why: Understanding this demographic transition helps policymakers plan education, jobs, housing and social-security systems for an ageing yet still large, workforce-driven economy.

India Re-Elected to the International Maritime Organization Council IMO Council

What: India secured re-election to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Council in Category B with one of the highest vote tallies among member countries.

How: Its sizeable merchant fleet, active role in drafting shipping regulations, focus on maritime safety and push for climate-friendly, green shipping built strong diplomatic support.

Why: Council membership lets India shape global rules on maritime safety, security and environmental standards, directly affecting trade routes, port development and blue-economy prospects.

India–Asian Development Bank $800 Million+ Project Package ADB Finance

What: India and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) signed loan agreements exceeding $800 million to fund projects in transport, irrigation, skill development and ecosystem restoration.
