Key takeaways from today’s quiz to strengthen your preparation
Manufacturing
Maruti’s Railway Siding
Maruti Suzuki inaugurated India’s largest in-plant railway siding, enhancing logistics efficiency. This rail connectivity enables bulk material delivery and vehicle dispatch, reducing transportation costs, road congestion, and carbon emissions through sustainable logistics.
Transportation
FASTag Annual Pass
The FASTag annual pass costs ₹3,000, providing unlimited toll payments for one year. This flat-fee structure benefits frequent users with predictable costs, promotes digital toll collection, and reduces highway waiting times.
Electoral Technology
Bihar’s E-Voting System
Bihar’s mobile-based e-voting system was developed by C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing). This innovation explores secure remote voting, potentially increasing participation but raising security, privacy, and accessibility concerns.
AI & Defence
OpenAI Military Contract
OpenAI signed a $200 million contract with US Department of Defense for AI military applications. This raises ethical concerns about AI weaponization, autonomous systems in warfare, and dual-use technology implications.
Gender & Agriculture
Year of Woman Farmer
2026 declared as International Year of the Woman Farmer, recognizing women’s crucial agricultural role. Despite constituting half of agricultural labor, women face barriers in land ownership, credit access, and training opportunities.
Naval Defence
INS Arnala Classification
INS Arnala is an ASW Shallow Water Craft, designed for detecting submarine threats in coastal and littoral waters. This strengthens maritime defense near harbors and strategic installations, complementing deep-water naval capabilities.
Military Cooperation
Indo-French Exercise Shakti
Exercise Shakti is conducted between India and France, a bilateral military exercise strengthening defense cooperation. This enhances tactical coordination, shares best practices, and reflects the strategic Indo-French partnership.
Labor Market
Unemployment Rate
India’s unemployment rate in May 2025 stood at 5.6%, reflecting job creation challenges despite economic growth. This indicates skill mismatches, structural issues, and difficulties matching workforce expansion with employment opportunities.
Food & Culture
Sustainable Gastronomy Day
Sustainable Gastronomy Day is observed on June 18th, promoting sustainable food practices and local cuisines. This UN day highlights connections between gastronomy, culture, and sustainability, encouraging practices that reduce waste and support biodiversity.
Chess
Team Chess Victory
Team MGD1 won the chess title, demonstrating India’s team chess strength. India’s success stems from grassroots development, coaching systems, technology integration, and a talented generation elevating India’s global chess status.

Think & Discuss
AI in Warfare: Necessary Evolution or Ethical Precipice?
Context from today’s quiz: OpenAI signed a $200 million contract with the US Department of Defense for AI military applications, marking significant integration of advanced AI into defense operations. This partnership develops AI tools for intelligence analysis, cybersecurity, and strategic planning, while raising profound questions about AI weaponization, autonomous lethal systems, and the dual-use nature of technologies developed for both civilian advancement and military purposes.
🤔 Your Perspective Matters
As leading AI companies like OpenAI increasingly partner with military establishments, should these collaborations be viewed as inevitable technological evolution enhancing defense capabilities, improving strategic decision-making, and maintaining military advantage in an AI-driven world, or as dangerous normalization of AI militarization that accelerates autonomous weapons development, lowers thresholds for conflict, and prioritizes military applications over humanitarian benefits AI could provide?
Should AI companies face moral obligations to refuse military contracts regardless of financial incentives and national security arguments, or do they have responsibilities to ensure their nations maintain technological superiority even if it means developing AI for defense purposes, accepting that adversaries will pursue military AI regardless of Western companies’ ethical qualms?
Should AI companies face moral obligations to refuse military contracts regardless of financial incentives and national security arguments, or do they have responsibilities to ensure their nations maintain technological superiority even if it means developing AI for defense purposes, accepting that adversaries will pursue military AI regardless of Western companies’ ethical qualms?
- When companies claim military AI contracts focus on “defensive” applications like cybersecurity or intelligence analysis, is this a meaningful ethical distinction, or does all military AI development inevitably contribute to offensive capabilities and autonomous weapons systems that cross ethical boundaries?
- If American AI companies refuse defense contracts on ethical grounds while Chinese and Russian firms face no such constraints, does this create dangerous military-technological asymmetries that could jeopardize democratic nations’ security, or is this concern overblown given that ethical restraint could prevent catastrophic AI arms races?
- Should there be international treaties prohibiting certain military AI applications (autonomous lethal decisions, deepfake warfare, AI-driven propaganda) similar to chemical weapons bans, or are such agreements impossible to verify and enforce, making them counterproductive security theater that only handicaps compliant nations?
