    ISRO’s Amazing Venus Mission and Moon Plans!

    The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has exciting news! The Indian government has given the green light for a big project called the Shukrayaan mission, which will send a satellite to Venus. The launch is set for March 29, 2028, and the satellite will reach Venus on July 19, 2028.

    Nilesh Desai, the director of ISRO, explained that Shukrayaan will help scientists learn more about Venus, a planet often called Earth’s twin. The mission will study Venus’ thick atmosphere, check out the surface, and look at how active the planet is. It will have advanced tools like cameras and sensors to gather information about clouds, volcanic activity, and other features.

    This mission is a teamwork effort with scientists from other countries like Russia, Sweden, France, and Germany. The Swedish group will even create a special tool called the Venusian Neutrals Analyzer (VNA) to see how solar wind affects Venus. The total budget for this mission is Rs 1,236 crore.

    What’s Next for Chandrayaan 4?

    Nilesh Desai also talked about the future moon mission called Chandrayaan 4. This mission, in partnership with Japan, aims to collect samples from the Moon’s south pole, which has never been done before. Chandrayaan 4 will have a bigger rover weighing 350 kg, planned for a launch around 2030.

    ISRO is not just focusing on interplanetary missions; they are also working on weather and communication technology. They are planning to launch new satellites from the INSAT 4 series, which will help improve weather forecasts and communication around the world.

    With these plans, ISRO is making strides in space exploration and scientific advancement!

    Clashes Erupt in Pakistan as Imran Khan’s Supporters Demand His Release

    On Monday, clashes broke out in Pakistan when many supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan tried to march to the capital, Islamabad. They were stopped by police using tear gas. Sadly, reports say four military personnel and one protester were killed. The army was ordered to “shoot on sight” due to the violence.

    The protest was led by Imran Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, who started the march on Sunday. Supporters are demanding the release of Imran Khan, who has been in jail for over a year and faces many charges, including corruption and misuse of power.

    Protests continued into Tuesday, with supporters making their way toward a key area called D-Chowk. Videos showed protesters wearing gas masks while battling heavy police presence. Shipping containers blocked roads, making it hard for people to travel.

    The police reported that 119 officers were hurt during the protests. To keep people safe, all schools in Islamabad were closed, and mobile phone services were suspended in some areas. Local authorities also banned gatherings of more than five people.

    Despite the chaos, Bushra Bibi encouraged protesters from a truck, telling them to stay strong in their fight to free her husband

    In Jharkhand, a recent report shows that 89% of the new Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) are very wealthy, commonly referred to as “crorepatis.” This means they have assets worth over ₹1 crore. There are 14 MLAs with debts of ₹1 crore or more. The wealthiest MLA is Rameshwar Oraon from the Congress party, who has declared assets totaling ₹42.20 crore.

  • Supreme Court Asks CAQM to Rethink School Restrictions in Delhi

    Supreme Court Asks CAQM to Rethink School Restrictions in Delhi

    On November 25, 2024, the Supreme Court told the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to quickly decide whether to relax rules that stopped schools and colleges from holding in-person classes in Delhi and nearby areas.

    The judges, A.S. Oka and Augustine George Masih, made it clear that they wanted a decision by the evening of the same day or by the next morning at the latest.

    The Supreme Court noticed that many young students, including those in primary classes and anganwadis, missed out on important meals provided at school. Also, a lot of students couldn’t take online classes because they didn’t have the necessary equipment at home. For some, staying at home was just as bad as going to school since they didn’t have air purifiers.

    The Court said it was up to the CAQM to decide if students in Classes 10 and 12 could return to in-person learning. Many students do not have access to online learning, which is a problem.

    The judges highlighted that from November 20 to November 24, the air quality in Delhi was really bad, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) ranging between 318 and 419. They instructed CAQM to provide updated air quality information by the next court meeting on November 29.

    The Court was unhappy that police were not doing their job correctly at the borders of Delhi to stop polluting vehicles, especially big trucks, even after a ban was put in place on November 18. The judges asked CAQM to take action against those responsible for this under the law.

    The judges also acknowledged that the air quality restrictions were impacting the work of many people, like construction workers and daily earners. They ordered the governments in and around Delhi to provide support to help these workers during this tough time.

    Finally, the Court reminded CAQM that they had the power to take steps to help these workers and ensure they didn’t suffer due to these restrictions

    India Shines in Perth: A Big Win Against Australia



    On November 25, 2024, Indian cricket fans were buzzing with excitement at the Optus Stadium in Perth as their team celebrated a stunning victory! India defeated Australia by 295 runs, taking the lead in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.

    The match began with Australia struggling at just 12 runs with three wickets down. Jasprit Bumrah’s appeal for a leg-before-wicket (lbw) was turned down for a no-ball, giving Australian captain Steve Smith a lucky break. However, Usman Khawaja wasn’t as fortunate; he hit a loose shot off Mohammed Siraj and caught out to Rishabh Pant behind the stumps.

    Travis Head then joined Smith, and the two tried to build a partnership. Head survived a tricky moment when an lbw appeal was overturned and quickly got aggressive, hitting several powerful shots. But it was Siraj who struck back, getting Smith out with a fantastic delivery.

    Before lunch, Head and Mitchell Marsh managed to keep Australia steady at 104 for five. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma practiced in the nets, getting ready for upcoming matches in Adelaide.

    After the break, Marsh hit a six, but Bumrah finally took Head’s wicket when he was on 89. A partnership worth 82 runs had come to an end. Soon after, Nitish Kumar bowled out Marsh, pushing Australia to a shaky 182 for seven.

    Even with Alex Carey and Mitchell Starc at the crease, it was clear that Australia was struggling. Just before the tea break, Starc was caught out by Dhruv Jurel with a quick reflex catch.

    Australia was reeling at 227 for eight, and soon after, Washington Sundar bowled out Nathan Lyon. With Burke’s wicket, India celebrated as their bowlers wrapped up the innings.

    Final Score:
    – India 1st Innings: 150 all out in 49.4 overs
    – Australia 1st Innings: 104 all out in 51.2 overs
    – India 2nd Innings: 487 for 6 declared in 134.3 overs
    – Australia 2nd Innings: 238 all out in 58.4 overs

    The match showcased superb bowling by Bumrah, Siraj, and Washington, while Australia struggled to keep up. The next battle is set for December 6 in Adelaide!
