❇️ *DHRUV64 Microprocessor: India’s Push for Indigenous Computing* Relevance: Science & Technology | Semiconductor Ecosystem | Atmanirbhar Bharat ❇️*Why in News?* -The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has launched DHRUV64, a fully indigenous 64-bit microprocessor developed by C-DAC, to strengthen India’s domestic processor pipeline and reduce dependence on imported chip designs. 🟣 *What is DHRUV64?* • A 64-bit, dual-core microprocessor running at ~1 GHz. • Developed under MeitY’s Microprocessor Development Programme. • General-purpose processor capable of: • Running operating systems, 🟣 *Why Does DHRUV64 Matter?* • Processors are the core “brain” of all digital systems. • Control over processor design → control over security, resilience, and supply chains. • Reduces vulnerability to: • Export controls, • Geopolitical supply shocks, • Foreign IP restrictions. • Aligns with Atmanirbhar Bharat and strategic autonomy goals. 🟣 *What Do Its Specifications Indicate?* • 64-bit architecture → supports modern operating systems and software. • Performance is modest by consumer standards (vs smartphones/laptops). • Well-suited for: • Telecom base stations, • Routers, • Industrial controllers, • Automotive electronics. 🟣 *India’s Processor Ecosystem* India is developing multiple indigenous processors for different needs: • SHAKTI – IIT Madras • AJIT – IIT Bombay • VIKRAM – ISRO–SCL • THEJAS64 – C-DAC (2025) • DHRUV64 – Latest addition 🟣 *What is DIR-V (Digital India RISC-V)?* • RISC-V is an open, licence-free instruction set architecture. • Anyone can design chips without paying royalty fees. • Modular and customisable → suited for sovereign chip development. • DIR-V aims to build a portfolio of RISC-V chips for civilian, industrial, and military use. • DHRUV64 is the third DIR-V chip, after THEJAS32 and THEJAS64. 🟣 *Key Concerns & Unknowns* • Lack of published benchmarks and power-efficiency data. • No clarity on: • Foundry and fabrication location, • Yield, reliability, lifecycle support. • “Fully indigenous” claim is ambiguous (design vs fabrication vs IP). • Limited information on: • Software ecosystem, 🟣 *Significance* • Strengthens India’s strategic and technological sovereignty. • Builds domestic capability in a critical chokepoint technology. • Provides a platform for startups, academia, and industry to innovate. #70thBPSCInterview #CurrentAffairs

📌 Viksit Bharat – Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Bill, 2025 (VB-G RAM G Bill) 1. Background The Bill proposes a new rural employment and livelihood framework, intended to replace MGNREGA. It aligns rural employment policy with the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047. 2. Key Provisions Employment Guarantee: 125 days of wage employment per rural household annually (earlier 100 days under MGNREGA). Unemployment Allowance: Payable if employment is not provided on demand. Funding Pattern: Implemented as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) — 60:40 Centre–State sharing ( 90:10 for NE & Himalayan states). Planning Framework: Gram Panchayats to prepare locally relevant plans within central guidelines. Focus Areas: Water security, rural infrastructure, livelihood assets, climate resilience & disaster mitigation. Technology Use: Biometric authentication, geo-tagging, digital monitoring and strengthened social audits. 3. Alignment with Agricultural Seasons Provision for a ~60-day pause during peak agricultural seasons. Objective: Ensure availability of farm labour during sowing and harvesting. Seeks balance between farm employment and public works. 4. Federal & Fiscal Concerns Centre will determine norm-based annual allocations. Any excess expenditure must be borne by states, raising federalism and fiscal stress concerns among some states. 📌 MGNREGA and Farm Labour Shortage: What Do Data Show? (Indian Express Explained) 1. The Claim It has been argued that MGNREGA caused shortage of agricultural labour, especially during peak farming seasons. 2. Evidence-Based Findings No conclusive nationwide evidence that MGNREGA led to a large-scale farm labour shortage. MGNREGA increased workers’ bargaining power, but real rural wages did not rise sharply. Other factors—such as higher female labour force participation, migration patterns and regional dynamics—also affect labour availability. 3. Key Inference Farm labour issues cannot be attributed solely to MGNREGA. Labour market outcomes are region-specific and multi-causal. 📌 Integrated Conclusion The VB-G RAM G Bill, 2025 restructures rural employment by increasing guaranteed days, introducing seasonal flexibility, and strengthening technology-based oversight. Empirical evidence suggests the MGNREGA–farm labour relationship is complex, and the new Bill represents an attempt to recalibrate rural labour allocation, not merely replace an old scheme. #CurrentAffairs #70thBPSCInterview
