🧠 Mini-Quiz: Add to Your Knowledge (3 MCQs)
📒 Short Notes: Why Stop at One-Liners?
India’s Tuberculosis (TB) Reduction Progress Health Systems
What: India has reported a 21% fall in tuberculosis (TB) incidence, reflecting faster case detection, better treatment completion and stronger program delivery than in previous years.
How: The TB Mukt Bharat campaign uses molecular diagnostic tests, AI-assisted chest X-rays, door-to-door screening and nutritional support, while digital platforms track patients and involve private hospitals.
Why: India carries the world’s largest TB burden, so sustained reductions are critical for Sustainable Development Goal 3 and the World Health Organization’s End TB targets by 2030.
New Mangalore Port Modernisation Projects Infrastructure
What: Around ₹1,500 crore is being invested to modernise New Mangalore Port through upgraded berths, mechanised cargo handling, improved storage and deeper draft for larger ships.
How: Projects under Sagarmala and PM Gati Shakti emphasise integrated logistics, digital port community systems, rail-road connectivity, and greener operations using shore power and renewable energy.
Why: A more efficient port reduces logistics costs, supports exports and coastal shipping, and strengthens Karnataka’s role in the Viksit Bharat (Developed India) growth vision.
Defence Ministry–Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) Deal Defence
What: The Ministry of Defence signed a ₹2,095 crore contract with Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) to supply INVAR Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) for India’s T-90 main battle tanks.
How: BDL manufactures the missiles under licensed technology, integrating them with tank fire-control systems to provide long-range, high-precision, top-attack capability against armoured targets.
Why: The deal boosts India’s armoured firepower, supports Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) in defence production and reduces dependence on imported missile systems.
