This image has been taken from,  Digital-Rupee-–-Its-Understanding.jpeg The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will shortly launch restricted pilots of the e-rupee, also known as Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) or digital rupee, for specified use cases. It has hinted at two major categories for the usage of e-rupee for various transactions — retail and wholesale.  The CBDC is defined by the RBI as a digital representation of currency notes issued by a central bank. It is a sovereign or completely autonomous currency issued by the country's central bank (in this case, the RBI) in line with monetary policy. CBDC will be recognised as a means of payment and legal tender by all three parties - individuals, government agencies, and businesses - once it is formally issued. Because it is government-backed, it may be readily exchanged for money or notes from any commercial bank. The RBI is not enthusiastic about the e-rupee.

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) issued instructions to remove some tweets from Twitter under Section 69 (A) of the Information Technology Act of 2000. (Microblogging Site). Twitter has filed a petition with the Karnataka High Court, saying that many of the banning orders violate Section 69 (A) of the Act. According to Section 69 (A) of the IT Act, the corporation "failed to comply with the directives on repeated occasions," according to the Ministry. Twitter provided a list of over 80 accounts and messages that it has banned in response to a government request in 2021. Twitter believes that the Ministry's reasons for flagging various accounts and messages are either "over-broad and arbitrary" or "disproportionate." According to Twi

It intends to revitalise interest in SEZs and establish more inclusive economic centres by overhauling the existing Special Economic Zone regulations from 2005. SEZs will be renamed Development Hubs and will be exempt from many of the rules that presently limit them. These hubs will serve as both domestic tariff areas and SEZs, facilitating both export-oriented and local investment. To bring taxes in line with those imposed by units outside the country, the government may apply an equalisation levy on products or services supplied to the domestic market.

The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act was recently revised by the Ministry of Home Affairs (FCRA). In November 2020, the Ministry toughened the FCRA rules, making it clear that NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) that are not directly linked to a political party but engage in political action such as bandhs, strikes, or road blockades will be considered political if they participate in active politics or party politics. All NGOs receiving money are required by law to register with the FCRA. The action comes after the government raised the import tariff on gold from 7.5 percent to 12.5 percent in an effort to discourage gold imports, which increase the trade imbalance and put pressure on the currency and FX reserves. An increase in gold import tariff will raise the cost of import and discourage i

 ~Preet. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) recently issued a caution to the public not to share a photocopy of their Aadhaar with any organisation, only to withdraw the advice due to concerns that it may be misinterpreted.  The UIDAI advised the public not to "share a photocopy of one's Aadhaar with any organisation since it might be abused." Instead, it advised utilising "a disguised Aadhaar, which only reveals the last four digits of the Aadhaar number." It also advised the people to avoid downloading their e-Aadhaar from public computers. In such instance, they were instructed to "permanently erase" any downloaded copies. Only organisations that have secured a User License from the UIDAI can use Aadhaar to verify a person's identification. Furthermore, the Aadhaar Act prohibits hotels and movie theatres from collecting or retaining copies of Aadhaar cards.  Many private companies in the nation require an Aadhaar card, and user

   ~Preet. Just a few moths ago, the Allahabad High Court knocked the doors of Central Government to take initiatives towards the implementation of Uniform Civil Code, which is a very pressing issue and has been a motion of discourse since long. In an expected but yet surprising move the Uttarakhand Government, currently led by Pushkar Singh Dhami, appointed a standing committee led by Retired Supreme Court Judge  Justice Ranjan Desai to plan the implementation of The Uniform Civil Code and other relevant laws to govern the personal affairs in Uttarakhand. Implementation of UCC in the country is a Directive Principle of State Policy enshrined in the Article 44 of the Constitution Of India. India has different personal laws for different religions but The Uniform Civil Code would provide the nation with uniform regulations for personal matters. The idea behind the Uniform Civil Code is to eliminate the ambiguities that occur due to the differences between the various personal laws. The

~Preet In its most recent annual report for 2020-21, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) 2019 is a humane and ameliorative law that does not deprive any Indian of citizenship.  The CAA, which intends to offer citizenship to migrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, or Pakistan who belong to Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, or Christian groups, was notified on December 12, 2019, and went into effect on January 10, 2020.  Protests erupted around the country in response to the law. There are concerns that the CAA, which will be followed by a nationwide compilation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC), will benefit non-Muslims who are not on the planned citizens' register, while excluded Muslims will have to justify their citizenship. It violates the Assam Accord of 1985, which specifies that unlawful migrants from Bangladesh arriving after March 25, 1971, regardless of faith, will be deported. There are an estimated 20 million undocum

~Preet. A Delhi court has granted bail to a former Congress (Political Party) councillor in a charge brought under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967 (UAPA) in connection with the 2020 anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, (CAA) rallies.  The CAA grants citizenship to six undocumented non-Muslim communities (Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, and Christians) who entered India on or before December 31, 2014, from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. It exempts members of the six communities from prosecution under the Foreigners Act of 1946 and the Passport Act of 1920. The two Acts outline the penalties for illegally entering the country and staying on expired visas and permits. The court granted release to the accused notwithstanding the prosecution's argument that there were limits inherent in Section 43D(5) of the UAPA, a clause that makes bail almost hard to award since it allows little opportunity for judicial reasoning. The defence contended that Section 4

Maternal Mortality in India 2017-19. ~Preet. The Registrar General of India's Sample Registration System (SRS) just published the most recent special bulletin on Maternal Mortality in India (2017-19).

More and More Supercomputers: National Supercomputing Mission. ~Preet The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bengaluru has installed the supercomputer 'Param Pravega.' It boasts 3.3 petaflops of supercomputing power. It was built as part of the government's National Supercomputing Mission. The National Supercomputing Mission aims to localise the research and production of powerful computers. A supercomputer is a computer that operates at or near the greatest operating rate currently available for computers. PETAFLOP is a measure of the processing speed of a Supercomputer and may be represented as a thousand trillion floating point operations per second. FLOPS (floating point operations per second) are commonly used to assess a computer's processor performance.  Extremely lengthy numbers can be handled reasonably simply with floating-point encoding. Supercomputers are generally intended for usage in businesses and organisations that demand a large amount of computational

India to manufacture 500 items by 2025, by 3D printing.  ~Preet.   The National Strategy for Additive Manufacturing Policy was recently released by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).  Within three years, the strategy intends to boost India's share of global additive manufacturing to 5% and add USD 1 billion to the country's GDP. It also plans to build 50 India-specific material, machine, and software innovations, 100 new additive manufacturing firms, 500 new products, and educate at least 1 lakh new skilled people. The ideas of 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan', which urge self-reliance via technological transformation of the production paradigm, are included into the Policy. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process that employs materials such as plastics and metals to turn computer-aided design goods into genuine three-dimensional things.  3D printing is the inverse of subtractive manufacturing,

Secretariat for organising G20 Summit 2023, approved. ~Preet. The Union Cabinet recently initiated the process of establishing a Secretariat to oversee the operations of organising the G20 summit in 2023. From the 1st of December 2022 until the 30th of November 2023, India will preside over the international body as its President, paving the way for the G20 summit to be held in India.
