Draupadi Murmu Speech Highlights: India Grateful to Dr. Ambedkar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India will always remember Dr. BR Ambedkar, who presided over the committee that drafted the Constitution and was crucial in giving it its final form. The initial text of the Constitution was written by the lawyer BN Rau, and other specialists and officers who contributed to its creation should also be remembered. We are delighted that 15 ladies and representatives from different communities and areas of India were present at that assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Draupadi Murmu Speech Highlights: Atmanirbhar Bharat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the major economies with the fastest growth has been India. This has been made feasible thanks to proactive and timely government actions. The \u201cAtmanirbhar Bharat\u201d initiative has received a lot of support from the general public. Additionally, sector-specific incentive programmes have existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Draupadi Murmu Speech Highlights: Gaganyaan programme<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gaganyaan programme, which will send Indian astronauts into space, is now in development. India\u2019s first-ever human spaceflight will be this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Draupadi Murmu Speech Highlights: G20 presidency<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The G20 presidency presents an opportunity to strengthen multilateralism and democracy, and it is the perfect setting for shaping a better present and a better future. I\u2019m confident that the G20 would be able to intensify its efforts to create a more just and sustainable global order under India\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Draupadi Murmu Speech Highlights: India\u2019s Soldiers and Border Security<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would especially like to express my gratitude on this Republic Day to our jawans who protect our borders and are willing to give their lives if necessary for the country. I also want to thank all the brave members of the police and paramilitary forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Draupadi Murmu Speech Highlights: Importance of Women Empowerment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the significant progress we have achieved in recent years toward these goals, gender equality and the empowerment of women are no longer just catchphrases. Without a doubt, women will have the greatest influence on how India develops in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/icc-annual-awards-2022-announced-check-the-complete-list-of-winners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ICC annual awards 2022 announced: Check the complete list of Winners<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ICC-annual-awards-2022-announced.jpg\" alt=\"ICC annual awards 2022 announced: Check the complete list of Winners\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ICC annual awards 2022: <\/strong>The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced its first individual award winners in the ICC Awards 2022, naming the stars honoured in the Associate, Emerging and T20I categories following a global vote conducted among the specialist panel of media representatives, the ICC Voting Academy and global fans who voted for their favourite stars.

President Joe Biden nominated Julie Turner, a long-time diplomat and current director of the Office of East Asia and the Pacific in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor at the Department of State. The announcement comes as the United States and South Korea, whose new conservative leader, Yoon Suk Yeol, has also turned his focus to human rights issues, are taking a harder approach toward Pyongyang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/category\/daily-quiz\/daily-quiz-january-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">January 2023 Current Affairs Quiz<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More About The Development:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The special envoy position, and a similar one in South Korea, had become controversial as preceding administrations tried to bring North Korea to the negotiating table. Human rights, according to some activists, have been neglected in favour of issues related to national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Human Rights Push By President Biden:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biden vowed repeatedly after taking office in 2021 that human rights would be at the centre of his foreign policy, but the position had remained vacant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>South Korea\u2019s ambassador on North Korean human rights expressed disappointment last year that Biden\u2019s administration had yet to appoint an envoy for the issue at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>North Korea\u2019s Position:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>North Korea has repeatedly rejected accusations of human rights abuses and blames sanctions for a dire humanitarian situation. It accuses Washington and Seoul of using the issue as a political tool to smear Pyongyang\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A landmark 2014 U.N. report on North Korean human rights concluded that North Korean security chiefs \u2013 and possibly leader Kim Jong Un himself \u2013 should face justice for overseeing a state-controlled system of Nazi-style atrocities. Since then, North Korea\u2019s coronavirus controls, according to UN investigators, have exacerbated human rights breaches. They cite more information access limitations, stricter border security, and heightened digital surveillance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/international-holocaust-remembrance-day-observed-on-27th-january\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Holocaust Remembrance Day observed on 27th January<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/International-Holocaust-Remembrance-Day-observed-on-27th-January.jpg\" alt=\"International Holocaust Remembrance Day observed on 27th January\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2023<\/strong>: International Holocaust Remembrance Day is observed annually on January 27 to remember the crimes committed by Adolf Hitler, who is thought to have killed six million Jews.

The day is commemorated to encourage the development of educational programmes about Holocaust history to help prevent future acts of genocide. The day also encourages member nations of the UN to preserve sites that were used by the Nazis during the \u201cFinal Solution,\u201d which include killing centers, concentration camps, and prisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Holocaust Memorial Day: History<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During 1933\u20131945, Hitler\u2019s German Nazi administration killed many ethnic groups, notably European Jews, whom he regarded as an inferior race. It is said that Jewish men, women, and children at the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland faced the most heinous atrocities. The UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 60\/7 not only to commemorate the \u201cInternational Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust,\u201d but to reject any form of Holocaust denial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Universal Declaration of Human Rights supports the resolution to condemn all forms of \u201creligious intolerance, incitement, harassment, or violence against persons or communities based on ethnic origin or religious belief\u201d across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Holocaust Remembrance Days have been established in many of the participating nations. The Warsaw ghetto revolt took place on April 19, which Argentina designated as National Day for Cultural Diversity. As of April 16, Hungary will observe National Holocaust Remembrance Day. \u00a0Whereas the US Days of Remembrance correspond to Yom Ha-Shoah, Israel\u2019s annual Holocaust Remembrance Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/india-egypt-signed-mou-between-prasar-bharati-and-national-media-authority-of-egypt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">India-Egypt signed MoU between Prasar Bharati and National Media Authority of Egypt<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/India-Egypt-signed-MoU-between-Prasar-Bharati-and-National-Media-Authority-of-Egypt.jpg\" alt=\"India-Egypt signed MoU between Prasar Bharati and National Media Authority of Egypt\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>India-Egypt signed MoU between Prasar Bharati and National Media Authority of Egypt:<\/strong> India and Egypt&nbsp;on 25 January&nbsp;signed an MoU&nbsp;to facilitate content exchange, capacity building, and Co-Productions between&nbsp;Prasar Bharati and the National Media Authority of Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/category\/daily-quiz\/daily-quiz-january-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">January 2023 Current Affairs Quiz<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An overview of the news<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Information and Broadcasting Minister&nbsp;Anurag Singh Thakur&nbsp;and Foreign Minister&nbsp;Sameh Hassan Shoukry,&nbsp;Government of Egypt signed the MoU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MoU was exchanged in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Egyptian President&nbsp;Abdel Fattah El-Sisi&nbsp;in New Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under this MoU, broadcasters of both the countries will exchange their programs on bilateral basis in different genres of sports, news, culture, entertainment and many other fields and these programs will be broadcast on their radio and television platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>President:&nbsp;Abdel Fattah al-Sisi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capital:&nbsp;Cairo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Currency:&nbsp;Egyptian pound<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/padma-awards-2023-mulayam-yadav-ustad-zakir-hussain-dilip-mahalanabis-among-6-awarded-padma-vibhushan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Padma Awards 2023: Mulayam Yadav, Ustad Zakir Hussain, Dilip Mahalanabis among 6 awarded Padma Vibhushan<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Padma-Awards-2023.jpg\" alt=\"Padma Awards 2023: Mulayam Yadav, Ustad Zakir Hussain, Dilip Mahalanabis among 6 awarded Padma Vibhushan\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Padma Awards 2023: Mulayam Yadav, Ustad Zakir Hussain, Dilip Mahalanabis among 6 awarded Padma Vibhushan:<\/strong> The Centre has announced the&nbsp;Padma Awards&nbsp;on the eve of Republic Day 26 January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An overview of the news<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the total&nbsp;106 Padma Awards&nbsp;announced,&nbsp;six are Padma Vibhushan, nine are Padma Bhushan and 91 are Padma Shri.

US Space agency could develop and demonstrate advanced nuclear thermal propulsion&nbsp;technology as soon as 2027. NASA also&nbsp;believes that they could be ready to send humans to Mars by the late 2030s. With the help of this new technology, astronauts could journey to and from deep space faster than ever \u2013 a major capability to prepare for crewed missions to Mars,\u201d said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. \u201cCongratulations to both NASA and DARPA on this exciting investment, as we ignite the future, together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a nuclear thermal rocket allows for faster transit time, reducing risk for astronauts. Reducing transit time is a key component for human missions to Mars, as longer trips require more supplies and more robust systems. Maturing faster, more efficient transportation technology will help NASA meet its Moon to Mars Objectives. Other benefits to space travel include increased science payload capacity and higher power for instrumentation and communication. In a nuclear thermal rocket engine, a fission reactor is used to generate extremely high temperatures. The engine transfers the heat produced by the reactor to a liquid propellant, which is expanded and exhausted through a nozzle to propel the spacecraft.&nbsp;Nuclear thermal rockets can be three or more times more efficient than conventional chemical propulsion. \u201cNASA has a long history of collaborating with DARPA on projects that enable our respective missions, such as in-space servicing,\u201d said NASA Deputy Administrator&nbsp;Pam Melroy.&nbsp;\u201cExpanding our partnership to nuclear propulsion will help drive forward NASA\u2019s goal to send humans to Mars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA Administrator: Bill Nelson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Current Affairs\u00a0is the most important area in all competitive exams.
