1. India Canada : $2.6bn deal with Cameco : Ensure supply of 10,000 tonnes of uranium between 2027-2035. Canada has high grade ore.
2. Domestic ore : Jharkhand - Jadugoda , Turamdih + Andhra Pradesh : Tumullapalle : Lower grade ore.
3. URANIUM IMPORTS
- Canada: 2010 Civil nuclear agreement after NSG issued clean waiver despite non signatory to NPT.
- Kazakhstan: Kazapomtrom
- Uzbekistan, Russia : Lower garde ore.
4. Imported uranium can't be used for nuclear weapons thus India go for domestic reserves.
5. Benefits of deal
- 2025-2026 Budget : small modular reactor
- Target : 100GW nuclear energy by 2047
- Energy security
6. Challenges with India Canada deal
- Sovereignty challenge
- Canada criticised for indirectly supporting India's nuclear weapons ( imported for civil nuclear use , while domestic for weapons)
7. India has 170 nuclear warheads and Arihant nuclear submarine
8. 3 stage nuclear program : Homi Bhabha
9. 24 nuclear reactors at present
10. Kalkappam fast breeder reactor.

Rationale for new framework
1. Socio-economic changes.
2. MGNREGA was built in 2005, but rural India has transformed. Poverty levels declined from 27.1% in 2011-12 to 5.3% in 2022-23, supported by rising consumption, improved financial access, and expanded welfare coverage.
3. Rural livelihoods becoming more diversified and digitally integrated, the open-ended and demand-driven design of MGNREGA no longer aligns fully with contemporary rural realities.
4. The Viksit Bharat- G RAM G Act, 2025 responds to this context by modernising rural employment guarantees, strengthening accountability, and aligning employment creation with long term infrastructure and climate resilience goals.
5. Planning is decentralised through Viksit Gram Panchayat Plans, which are prepared locally and spatially integrated with national systems such as PM Gati Shakti.
6. The shift from a central sector scheme to a centrally sponsored framework reflects the inherently local nature of rural employment and asset creation.
