Developed indigenously under the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) at a&nbsp;<strong>cost of \u20b9130 crore each,<\/strong>&nbsp;these high-performance computing systems are strategically deployed in Pune, Delhi, and Kolkata. With a total investment of \u20b9850 crore in the project, these supercomputers aim to facilitate pioneering scientific research across various disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Objectives and Applications<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PARAM Rudra supercomputers will support advanced scientific research in diverse fields. For instance, the<strong>&nbsp;Giant Metre Radio Telescope (GMRT)<\/strong>&nbsp;in Pune will utilize the supercomputers to explore astronomical phenomena such as&nbsp;<strong>Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs).<\/strong>&nbsp;Meanwhile, the Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) in Delhi will focus on enhancing research in material science and atomic physics, and the S N Bose Centre in Kolkata will drive studies in physics, cosmology, and earth sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Driving Innovation and Self-Reliance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the launch, Modi highlighted that&nbsp;<strong>\u201cno sector can function without technology and computing capability.\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;He reiterated the goal of achieving self-reliance in high-performance computing, stating that India\u2019s contributions should extend beyond mere bits and bytes to terabytes and petabytes. The initiative represents a significant step towards bolstering India\u2019s computing capabilities and driving innovation in science and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Missed Visit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Modi initially planned to visit Pune for the launch, he had to cancel his trip due to heavy rains in the city. Officials noted that he was also scheduled to flag off a Metro train line and inaugurate development&nbsp;<strong>projects worth \u20b922,600 crore<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India Joins Leadership of Global Anti-Corruption Alliance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India has been elected to the&nbsp;<strong>15-member GlobE Steering Committee,<\/strong>&nbsp;which focuses on combating corruption and asset recovery. This decision was made during a&nbsp;<strong>plenary session in Beijing on September 26, 2024,<\/strong>&nbsp;following a multistage voting process. As a member of the Steering Committee, India is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the global anti-corruption agenda, leveraging its experience and expertise in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Background of the GloBE Network<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GlobE Network originated as an initiative from the&nbsp;<strong>G-20, supported by India in 2020.<\/strong>&nbsp;The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has highlighted that India\u2019s participation will be instrumental in tackling corruption globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Political Dynamics in India<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a contrasting political landscape, since 2014, several politicians facing corruption charges have switched to the&nbsp;<strong>Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).<\/strong>&nbsp;An investigation revealed that out of 25 prominent politicians who made this switch, 23 cases led to a halt in investigations, showcasing a significant disparity in how political affiliations impact legal proceedings. Notably, six politicians moved to the BJP just weeks before the general elections, indicating a strategic shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investigative Findings<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The findings illustrate a pattern where Central agencies focus primarily on the Opposition, with 95% of actions taken against political figures being from opposition parties since the NDA came to power in 2014. This trend has led critics to label the BJP\u2019s political maneuvers as a \u201cwashing machine,\u201d allowing accused politicians to evade accountability by changing parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent Developments in Elections<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been re-elected as the leader of the NDA alliance despite the BJP not securing a majority. With 240 seats in the Lok Sabha, Modi\u2019s party faces the challenge of forming a government with the support of allies, as the NDA collectively holds 283 seats, surpassing the required 272.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global Reactions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>World leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, have congratulated Modi on his election victory, emphasizing the strong bilateral relations between India and their respective nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opposition Response<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge,<\/strong>&nbsp;representing the opposition INDIA alliance, asserted that the election mandate reflects a decisive rejection of Modi\u2019s governance, vowing to continue the fight against what he termed the BJP\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>\u201cfascist rule.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shigeru Ishiba Set to Become Japan\u2019s Next Prime Minister<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shigeru Ishiba<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>former defence minister<\/strong>, is poised to become&nbsp;<strong>Japan\u2019s next prime minister<\/strong>&nbsp;after winning the&nbsp;<strong>Liberal Democratic Party\u2019s (LDP) leadership vote.<\/strong>&nbsp;Ishiba will succeed Fumio Kishida, who stepped down following scandals that damaged his tenure. With the LDP holding a majority in the lower house, Ishiba\u2019s path to the role is effectively secured. He edged out economic security minister Sanae Takaichi by a narrow margin of<strong>&nbsp;21 votes<\/strong>&nbsp;in the leadership race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early Life and Education<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Born on February 4, 1957, Shigeru Ishiba grew up in Tottori Prefecture, where his father was a government official and later governor. After studying law at Keio University, Ishiba worked at Mitsui Bank before transitioning to politics in 1983.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Political Career<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1986, Ishiba became the&nbsp;<strong>youngest member of the House of Representatives<\/strong>&nbsp;as a candidate from the LDP. Despite his long affiliation, he often clashed with party views, even defecting to the&nbsp;<strong>Japan Renewal Party (1993-1996)<\/strong>&nbsp;before rejoining the LDP. Over his career, he held portfolios including defence minister and minister for revitalizing the local economy. This leadership victory marks his fifth attempt to lead the LDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key Policy Positions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ishiba aims to address rising inflation, improve wages, and reduce nuclear energy dependence. He also plans to tackle Japan\u2019s low birth rate by expanding support for parents and boosting regional economies. His focus on security issues includes addressing threats from China and North Korea. He advocates a more independent defence policy, proposing Japan lead an&nbsp;<strong>\u201cAsian NATO\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;and seeking greater oversight of US military bases in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Challenges Ahead<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ishiba must navigate public discontent over rising living costs and Japan\u2019s volatile security environment. He also faces challenges from within the LDP, where his socially progressive stance on issues like allowing married couples to use separate surnames has sparked debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US-Japan Relations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ishiba\u2019s approach to reducing Japan\u2019s reliance on the US for defence may strain ties with Washington. His push for Japan to have a say in the US use of nuclear weapons in Asia and his stance on military bases in Okinawa reflect his broader vision for a more assertive Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Economic and Fiscal Policies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ishiba has softened his opposition to nuclear power, proposing to keep some reactors operational while supporting renewable energy. As a fiscal conservative, he emphasizes respecting the Bank of Japan\u2019s independence, though he remains cautious about further interest rate hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"rh-color-heading alignfull pt30 pb30 blackcolor mb35\" style=\"background-color:#ebf2fc;\"><style>.main-side:not(.alignfulloutside):not(.fullgutenberg) .rh-color-heading .rh-container{width:auto;}<\/style>\t<div class=\"rh-container\">\t\t\t<p id=\"\" class=\"mb15 font130\" style=\"color:#111;\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\t\t\t<h3 class=\"mt0 mb10 font200\" style=\"color:#111;\">\t\t\tWorld Rabies Day 2024: Breaking Rabies Boundaries\t\t\t<\/h3>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>World Rabies Day,<\/strong>&nbsp;observed annually on&nbsp;<strong>September 28th,<\/strong>&nbsp;marks a global effort to raise awareness about rabies prevention and eradication.

It emphasizes the importance of integrating human, animal, and environmental health efforts to create a unified front against rabies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Overcoming Barriers<\/strong>: The theme encourages efforts to overcome geographic, socio-economic, and educational barriers that hinder rabies prevention. This includes ensuring widespread vaccination, raising awareness, and improving access to medical care.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transboundary Nature of Rabies<\/strong>: The theme also highlights the fact that rabies itself does not recognize borders or boundaries, emphasizing its nature as a transboundary disease that requires coordinated international efforts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"rh-color-heading alignfull pt30 pb30 blackcolor mb35\" style=\"background-color:#ebf2fc;\"><style>.main-side:not(.alignfulloutside):not(.fullgutenberg) .rh-color-heading .rh-container{width:auto;}<\/style>\t<div class=\"rh-container\">\t\t\t<p id=\"\" class=\"mb15 font130\" style=\"color:#111;\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\t\t\t<h3 class=\"mt0 mb10 font200\" style=\"color:#111;\">\t\t\tAmazon India Partners with Labour Ministry to Enhance Job Access via NCS Portal\t\t\t<\/h3>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Amazon India has signed a<strong>&nbsp;Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)<\/strong>&nbsp;with the Ministry of Labour and Employment to leverage the&nbsp;<strong>National Career Service (NCS) portal<\/strong>, aiming to connect job seekers with career opportunities that match their skills and qualifications.
