#technology NABHMITRA; It is a satellite-based communication system developed for the safety of fisherman. The weather and cyclone warnings will be communicated in the local language, the boats can also send distress messages to the authorities.
#culture Chokuwa Rice: Assam + This unique and healthy rice is cultivated around the Brahmaputra River area.
#economy Common Research and Technology Development Hub (CRTDH); It aims to encourage research and technology development activities by Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs). All Public funded bodies having a distinct legal entity are eligible to participate in the programme.
#geography Geo-Engineering Techniques.
Stratospheric aerosol injection, a type of solar radiation management that would mimic the cooling that occurs after volcanic eruptions. The idea is to inject materials such as sulfur into the stratosphere, to make particles that reflect sunlight back into space and cool the Earth.
Citrus Cloud Thinning: Thinning cirrus clouds would be achieved by injecting ice nuclei (such as dust) into regions where there are cirrus clouds, making the ice crystals bigger and reducing the cirrus optical depth. Thinning the clouds would allow more heat to escape into space and thereby cool the planet.

#international 9-Dash Line: The nine-dash line, also referred to as the eleven-dash line by Taiwan, is a set of line segments on various maps that accompanied the claims of China in South China Sea. The contested area includes the Paracel Island the Spratly Island the Pratas Island, and many more.
#geography Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO): PDO isn’t an annual occurrence and, on average, corresponds to a warmer than average Western Pacific Ocean and relatively cooler Eastern Pacific, though this plays out over much longer time scales. However, unlike an ENSO, whose stage can be determined any year, a ‘positive’ or ‘warmer phase’ of a PDO can be known only after several years of measuring ocean temperatures and their interaction with the atmosphere. In 2019, the PDO entered a cooler, negative phase and if it remains so, could mean more tropical cyclones in the post-monsoon months that originate near the equator. ENSO with a positive PDO is generally not good, but when linked with a negative PDO, brings more rain to India.
#technology various solar missions; ESA: Ulysses + Proba-2 with NASA and JAXA; Proba-3: ESA.
#technology DDoS Attack and use of Zombie Networks; South African news portal, Daily Maverick, alleged it was hit by a DDoS cyberattack from India. While there are multiple ways to launch a DDoS attack there are two broad categories depending on the attack vectors. These are Application layer and Network layer attacks.
#technology Large Language Models and Software called ‘crawlers’. Search engines like Google or Bing also use web crawlers to index websites and present relevant results when users search for topics.
#international G-20; India took the presidency from Indonesia.
