| 2 | The Central Government has approved the Rhino DNA Indexing System to create a DNA database of India's Greater One-Horned Rhinoceroses. The decision was taken by the Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife (NBWL).
What is DNA Indexing?
-It is like giving every rhino a unique DNA identity card.
-Since every animal has a unique DNA, scientists can identify individual rhinos using their genetic information.
How will it help?
If a rhino horn is seized:
-Scientists can match its DNA with the database.
-They can identify which rhino it belonged to and where it was killed.
-This provides strong forensic evidence against wildlife criminals
Prelims Facts
1. Species: Greater One-Horned
2.Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis)
3.IUCN Status: Vulnerable (VU)
4.CITES: Appendix I
5.Major Indian Habitat: Assam (especially Kaziranga National Park), Orang National Park, Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, Manas National Park; also found in West Bengal. | 1 |

| 6 | A major landslide struck the Kalladi tunnel project site near Meppadi in Wayanad, Kerala, amid heavy rainfall. The incident occurred near the Anakkampoyil–Kalladi–Meppadi twin tunnel project, trapping workers and triggering large-scale rescue operations by the NDRF, Fire & Rescue Services, and local authorities. Kerala Agriculture Minister T. Siddique termed the incident a "man-made landslide", alleging that unscientific dumping of excavated earth from the tunnel project caused the disaster rather than a purely natural landslide. Authorities have ordered an inquiry into the incident.
Why did the minister call it 'man-made'?
According to the minister :
1. Large quantities of excavated soil and mud from tunnel construction were dumped on unstable slopes.
2. Earlier warnings to remove the accumulated debris and suspend work during intense rainfall were allegedly not followed.
A detailed investigation has been ordered to determine responsibility | 397 |

| 16 | Aditya-L1's primary payload, VELC helps decode why the Sun's outer atmosphere (corona) is much hotter than its surface?
What is Aditya-L1?
It is India's first dedicated solar observatory mission, launched by ISRO to study the Sun and its influence on space weather.
Why is it called L1?
The spacecraft is positioned near the Sun-Earth L1 (Lagrange Point-1).
What is L1?
It is a location where the gravitational forces of two large bodies balance the orbital motion of a spacecraft.
It lies approximately 1.5 million km from Earth toward the Sun.
Payloads on Aditya-L1
Aditya-L1 carries 7 scientific payloads.
Remote Sensing Payloads :
🎉VELC
🎉SUIT
🎉SoLEXS
🎉HEL1OS
In-situ Payloads :
🎉ASPEX
🎉PAPA
What did Aditya-L1 Discover?
Using VELC data, scientists found:
-Tangled solar magnetic fields continuously reconnect.
-These reconnections release enormous energy.
-This energy replenishes losses caused by solar eruptions.
-Wave motions account for only ~7% of the heating requirement. | 692 |

| 19 | India must prepare now for a possible rise in food inflation due to the emerging El Niño conditions, even though the overall inflation situation is currently under control.
What is El Niño?
El Niño is a climate phenomenon characterized by the abnormal warming of sea surface waters in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, particularly off the coasts of Peru and Ecuador.
It occurs every 2–7 years and typically lasts 9–12 months, though strong events can persist longer.
How El Niño Threatens Food Security.
1. Reduced Crop Production
2. Heat Stress on Crops
3. Rising Food Prices (Food Inflation)
4. Impact on Rural Livelihoods
5. Global Food Supply Disruptions
Right now, India has :
🔥Prepared contingency plans for hundreds of vulnerable districts.
🔥Built substantial food grain stocks.
🔥Expanded crop insurance and support mechanisms.
🔥Improved irrigation and climate-resilient farming practices. | 870 |
| 20 | In an unprecedented move, the Indian government has temporarily restricted access to Telegram across the country until June 22, 2026, ahead of the NEET (UG) 2026 re-examination scheduled for June 21.
Acting on the recommendations of the National Testing Agency (NTA), the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) invoked Section 69A of the IT Act, 2000 to curb the misuse of the platform by organised cheating rackets allegedly involved in spreading fake question papers and exam-related fraud. Telegram has also been directed to disable its message-editing feature for already-posted messages until June 30 to prevent the fabrication of "after-the-event" paper leak evidence.
The Centre says the temporary restrictions are aimed at safeguarding the integrity of one of India's largest entrance examinations, even as the move sparks debate over the balance between exam security and digital freedoms | 959 |
