Mega Science Vision-2035: Strengthening India’s Climate Research Ecosystem

The CBSE On-Screen Marking (OSM) system marks a major shift towards digital evaluation of board exams. By using scanned answer sheets and computer-based assessment, OSM aims to improve accuracy, transparency, efficiency, and speed in the examination process.

The Blue Moon is a rare astronomical event caused by the mismatch between the lunar cycle and the calendar year. Understanding synodic and sidereal months helps explain how lunar phases, orbital motion, and celestial mechanics shape this fascinating phenomenon.

India’s climate scientists have warned of a growing dependence on imported scientific instruments, raising concerns about data accuracy and research capability. The Mega Science Vision-2035 report calls for rebuilding indigenous climate technologies to strengthen scientific self-reliance and climate resilience.

Semiconductors power everything from smartphones and AI systems to defence technologies. As India aims to become a global chip manufacturing hub, strengthening domestic production, supply chains, and innovation will be crucial for achieving technological self-reliance.
