Explanations:

Question 1: c

• The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) organised its first-ever Shipbuilding, Indigenisation & IT Conference in Madikeri, Karnataka, on 27 November 2025, marking an important step toward enhancing the nation’s maritime strength.
• One of the key outcomes of the conference was the signing of an MoU between the ICG, the Coimbatore District Small Industries Association, and the Defence Innovation & Atal Incubation Centre. 
• This collaboration aims to bolster the defence innovation ecosystem and accelerate indigenisation initiatives through the Defence Innovation Hub in Coimbatore, promoting stronger industry–ICG partnerships and advancing self-reliance in maritime technologies.

Question 2: b

• For the first time, the Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) of India formally paid homage to soldiers who lost their lives in Operation Pawan, the 1987 Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) mission in Sri Lanka.
• This act marks long-awaited official recognition of the sacrifices made by IPKF personnel during India’s first major overseas military operation after Independence.

About Operation Pawan:

• Operation Pawan was launched in 1987 by the Rajiv Gandhi government under the Indo-Sri Lanka Accord.
• The mission involved deploying the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) to Sri Lanka during its civil war.
• Its objective was to disarm Tamil militant groups, including the LTTE, and help restore peace between Tamil and Sinhala communities.
• Operation Pawan became one of India’s most intense and complex military missions abroad.
• Major Ramaswamy Parameswaran, awarded the Param Vir Chakra, was one of the most notable martyrs of the operation.
• The operation ended in 1990 with the withdrawal of the IPKF.
• Although Sri Lanka built a memorial acknowledging IPKF’s role, India did not commemorate the operation at the National War Memorial for decades.

Question 3: a

• The Government of India has appointed new Executive Directors to three major public sector banks.
• Amresh Prasad has been appointed as the Executive Director of Union Bank of India.
• E. Ratan Kumar has joined as Executive Director of Central Bank of India.
• Pramod Kumar Dwibedi has taken charge as Executive Director of Bank of India.
• These appointments were formalised through an official government notification, strengthening senior leadership across these PSBs.

Questions 4: d

• India and the United Arab Emirates held the third meeting of the Joint Committee under the India–UAE CEPA in New Delhi on 27 November 2025. The meeting was co-chaired by Shri Ajay Bhadoo, Additional Secretary in the Department of Commerce, and H.E. Juma Al Kait, Assistant Undersecretary for International Trade Affairs, UAE.
• Both sides noted the strong momentum in bilateral trade, which reached USD 100.06 billion in FY 2024–25, marking a 19.6% growth and reinforcing the UAE’s position as one of India’s most important trading partners.
• The India–UAE Joint Committee serves as the central institutional platform for monitoring the implementation of the CEPA, reviewing progress, resolving issues, and advancing cooperation across trade and investment areas.

Question 5: e

• The Government of India has approved the Tex-RAMPS Scheme (Textiles Focused Research, Assessment, Monitoring, Planning and Start-up) to strengthen research, innovation, and competitiveness in the textiles sector.
• The scheme has a total outlay of ₹305 crore and will be implemented from FY 2025–26 to FY 2030–31.
• Tex-RAMPS will operate as a Central Sector Scheme, fully funded by the Ministry of Textiles and aligned with the upcoming Finance Commission cycle.
• The scheme aims to future-proof India’s textiles and apparel ecosystem by addressing gaps in:

1. Research
2. Data and analytics
3. Innovation support
4. Capacity development

• The scheme seeks to position India as a global leader in sustainable, technology-driven, and competitive textiles.

Key Components of Tex-RAMPS

• Research & Innovation: Promotes advanced R&D in smart textiles, sustainability, process efficiency, and cutting-edge technologies.
• Data, Analytics & Diagnostics: Builds strong data systems including employment studies, supply chain mapping, and the India-Size study for evidence-based policymaking.
• Integrated Textiles Statistical System (ITSS): A real-time, integrated data and analytics platform for monitoring and strategic decision-making.
• Capacity Development & Knowledge Ecosystem: Includes state-level planning support, best-practice sharing, capacity-building workshops, and sectoral events.
• Start-up & Innovation Support: Supports textile-sector incubators, hackathons, academia–industry collaborations, and high-value start-ups.

The scheme does not mandate compulsory exports of smart-textile products. It supports research, startups, data systems, and innovation—not mandatory export obligations. Hence, statement e is incorrect.
