- A collaborative effort between religious and government authorities, environmental experts, and the public is essential to create a framework that prioritises safety, accessibility, and ecological preservation.
- Balancing the human need to connect with the divine with the imperative to preserve nature requires innovative and sustainable approaches.
- The Indian decision to step up India-Afghanistan relations is in line with India’s progressive engagement with the Taliban.

- Equally, accountability also demands an unwavering focus on data privacy and security. In healthcare, data isn’t just raw information.
- India’s proposed Digital Private Data Protection Act provide a foundation, ensuring AI systems adhere to strict guidelines for safeguarding sensitive information.
- When transparency, human collaboration, and data privacy form the core of AI systems, the technology can transform healthcare into a trustworthy, smarter, and more compassionate ecosystem.

ESSAY TOPIC
-

50-WORD TALK
-
- The commissioning of INS Surat, Nilgiri, and Vaghsheer showcases growing maritime capabilities, but it also underscores India’s continued reliance on key foreign imports from the US, Germany, France, and Ukraine.
