✍️ Crux of the article: The Indian government has decided to sign and ratify the High Seas Treaty, which aims to maintain the ecological health of the oceans by reducing pollution and promoting the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and marine resources in international waters. The treaty focuses on oceans outside the national jurisdiction of any country, which constitute about 64% of the total ocean area, and are considered global commons governed by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. The High Seas Treaty seeks to achieve its objectives through the demarcation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), ensuring fair and equitable sharing of benefits from marine genetic resources, and making environmental impact assessments mandatory for activities that can potentially damage the marine ecosystem. By signing and ratifying this treaty, India joins other nations in a global effort to safeguard the high seas and contribute to the long-term protection of marine biodiversity. ✍️ Source: Indian Express

This quote emphasizes the idea that instead of fearing failure, one should be concerned about the missed chances and potential successes that could result from not taking risks or attempting new opportunities. It suggests that the real regret lies in not trying at all, rather than in experiencing setbacks or failures along the way. In essence, it encourages embracing challenges and taking action, despite the possibility of failure, in order to seize valuable opportunities for growth and achievement.

Clarification for DMs received from some young aspirants: With regards to the IAS officer who manipulated the quota system and got herself a fake disability certificate Entire media is going after UPSC, saying things like last bastion of merit has fallen etc. This is increasing anxiety among aspirants Please know the facts of the case, UPSC has already rejected her claim and given representation in court that her selection is invalid The lady in question is leveraging the useless and painfully slow judicial system by filing multiple petitions and banking on victim complex And due to the media attention very soon she will receive justice as well Rest assured UPSC's sanctity is intact, please prepare without any hesitations and ignore these kind of news
