  India’s Space Diplomacy and Global Collaborations India’s foray into space technology, once dismissed as an ambitious dream for a developing nation, has now become a cornerstone of its global diplomatic strategy. From launching cost-effective satellites to executing complex interplanetary missions, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has positioned India as a credible and capable space power on the global stage. The convergence of science, technology, and diplomacy—commonly referred to as “space diplomacy”—has enabled India to establish strategic ties with both developed and developing nations. This soft power strategy is not only about technological prowess but also about building trust, fostering regional cooperation, and reinforcing India’s geopolitical relevance. A landmark moment in this trajectory was the launch of the South Asia Satellite (GSAT-9) in 2017. Branded as a “gift” to India’s neighbours, it was a symbolic and functional gesture, aiming to enhance t...

  📘 English Passage: Artificial Intelligence and Its Impact on Employment The rapid proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is indisputably transforming the global economic landscape. From automating mundane tasks to facilitating complex decision-making processes, AI has become an integral component across multiple industries. While its benefits are irrefutable—ranging from enhanced productivity to cost reduction—it has also ushered in a paradox that continues to perplex economists and policymakers alike: Will AI augment human labor, or eventually render it obsolete? Historically, every major technological revolution—from the steam engine to the internet—has displaced certain categories of jobs while creating new ones. AI is no different in this regard. However, what distinguishes AI is its cognitive ability to simulate human thinking. Unlike mechanical automation, which primarily replaced manual labor, AI is capable of substituting white-collar professionals, including da...

  Climate Change and India’s Adaptation Strategies Climate change is no longer a distant threat but a present-day reality that affects every aspect of human life. Rising global temperatures, erratic rainfall, melting glaciers, frequent cyclones, and extended droughts are not anomalies but patterns indicative of an environmental crisis. For a developing country like India—with its massive population, agrarian dependence, and fragile ecosystems—the implications of climate change are particularly severe. India has already experienced the brunt of climate-related disasters. The Uttarakhand cloudburst of 2013, Chennai floods of 2015, Cyclone Amphan in 2020, and the recurring heatwaves across northern plains are just a few glaring reminders of our vulnerability. Scientists predict that if current trends continue, sea levels around India’s coastline may rise by up to 1 meter by 2100, affecting over 35 million people. Recognizing the urgency, India has implemented several adaptation and...
