The Census exercise is going to be undertaken by 2027 in major part of the country.

Last Census took place in 2011 and next Census after it was to be undertaken in 2020-21 but got delayed due to COVID.

The reference date for Uttarakhand & other hilly areas is October 1, 2026 . For rest of India it is March 1,2027.

The Delimitation exercise will begin after the Census.

Caste enumeration will begin alongside the Census but it is unlikely to trigger major affirmative action & review on upper limit of 50% for caste based reservation.

Also implementation of women's 33% reservation in Lok Sabha & State legislative assemblies ( 128th CAA) is contingent upon Delimitation exercise.

India’s population is estimated to have reached 146.39 crore by April, says a new UN demographic report, which adds that the country’s total fertility rate (TFR) has declined to 1.9, falling below the replacement level of 2.1.

The TFR measures the number of children a woman is expected to have throughout their reproductive age. Replacement level TFR is the rate needed for each generation to replace the previous generation’s population.

The population is expected to grow to 170 crore before starting to dip in about 40 years, the report titled “State of the World Population 2025: The Real Fertility Crisis” says. It calls India the “world’s most populous nation”, while pegging former leader China’s current population at 141.61 crore.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will commence three-nation tour, during which he will take part in the G7 Summit in Canada and visit Cyprus and Croatia to shore up India’s bilateral cooperation with these two countries.

Note : G7 countries- Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

The G7 was established in 1975, initially as a meeting of six major industrialized economies. Canada joined in 1976. Russia was later added to form the G8, but was suspended in 2014 due to annexation of Crimea. 

"The presidency of the G7 rotates annually among the member countries

In 2024 - Italy hosted G7 summit.

It does not have a charter or a permanent secretariat.

India has been a guest country participant in G7 meetings, reflecting its rising global stature and the recognition of its role as a major economic and geopolitical actor.

Israel’s war on Iran began on June 13, 2025. A week later, it is as much the Unites States’s war. President Donald Trump, who rose to power six months ago promising peace, is hardly a peacemaker.

American B2 bombers dropped bunker-busting bombs at Fordow, Iran’s most heavily fortified nuclear facility, while U.S. submarines fired Tomahawk missiles at the Natanz and Isfahan nuclear plants, even as Israel struggled to intercept Iranian ballistic missiles.

While the U.S.’s actions against Iran are not surprising, given its long-persisting hostilities with Iran and its much-criticised, yet unwavering support to Israel in the bombardment of Gaza, Mr. Trump’s own reckless leadership adds yet another, dangerous layer of volatility to the world that is seeing enormous turbulence and destruction.

Iran's Parliament has approved closure of strait of hormuz in retaliation.

India is celebrating the successful launch of the Axiom-4 (Ax-4) mission which has taken off with a multi-country crew, including an Indian astronaut, Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla.

When the spacecraft docks at the International Space Station (ISS), Group Captain Shukla, who is piloting the mission, will become the first ever Indian to visit Nasa's orbiting laboratory.

His trip comes 41 years after cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma became the first Indian to fly to space aboard a Russian Soyuz in 1984.
