1. Yumnam Khemchand Singh Sworn In as Manipur CM

End of President’s Rule: His swearing-in marked the revocation of nearly a year of President’s Rule, which had been imposed on February 13, 2025, following the resignation of former CM N. Biren Singh amidst prolonged ethnic conflict.
-
Tripartite Ethnic Representation: In a move to restore peace and inclusivity, the new government includes two Deputy Chief Ministers from different ethnic backgrounds: Nemcha Kipgen and Losii Dikho.
-
Focus on Reconciliation: Khemchand Singh, a former Speaker and Taekwondo expert, has prioritized inter-ethnic peace and development as his primary goal, aiming to bridge the divide between the Meitei, Kuki-Zo, and Naga communities.

2. Russia Launches Nuclear Submarine Khabarovsk
-
Primary Carrier of "Doomsday" Weapons: It is equipped to carry six of these massive, autonomous "intercontinental torpedoes," which are capable of traveling thousands of miles to strike coastal targets.
-
Strategic Deterrence Shift: Unlike traditional attack or ballistic missile submarines, the Khabarovsk serves as a "special purpose" vessel. Its role is to provide a "second-strike" capability that is nearly impossible to intercept with current missile defense systems, as the Poseidon drones operate at extreme depths and high speeds.
-
Pacific Deployment & Sea Trials: Following its ceremonial launch, the submarine is set to undergo extensive sea trials through 2026. It is expected to be commissioned into Russia's Pacific Fleet, where new infrastructure is being built to support its unique mission and the Poseidon weapon system.
3. Sagar Defence Delivers Surface Vessels to Indian Navy
-
Maiden Indigenous "Boat Swarm" Capability: This delivery of the first two vessels (out of an order of 12) marks India's entry into an elite club of nations capable of deploying weaponized autonomous swarm technology.
-
Advanced Weaponry & Stealth: Each craft is a high-speed Fast Interceptor Craft (FIC) equipped with a 12.7mm remote-controlled gun. They are capable of deploying short-range missiles and loitering munitions.
-
Electronic Warfare Resilience: A standout feature is the ability of these vessels to operate in GPS-denied environments. Using indigenous AI and "Genesis" control systems, they can navigate and execute missions.
4. Axis Bank Launches ‘Rooftop Solar Finance’ for MSMEs
-
Collateral-Free & High Quantum: MSMEs can access collateral-free loans ranging from ₹10 lakh to ₹2 crore. This allows small businesses to adopt solar technology without tying up existing assets or straining their working capital.
-
Flexible Repayment & Long Tenure: The scheme offers flexible repayment tenures of 4 to 7 years. This is structured to align with the "payback period" of solar installations, where the savings on electricity bills often cover the loan EMIs, making the transition cost-neutral over time.
-
End-to-End Technical Support: Beyond just funding, Axis Bank has partnered with leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and tech partners. This ensures MSMEs receive quality equipment and transparent data on project costs, estimated energy savings, and execution timelines.

5. Anahat Singh Clinches Maiden PSA Bronze Title
-
Youngest Indian to Win at this Level: With this win, Anahat became the youngest Indian squash player to secure a PSA Bronze title, surpassing the records previously held by icons like Joshna Chinappa and Dipika Pallikal at similar stages in their careers.
-
Dominant Performance & Top-Seed Defeat: Throughout the tournament, Anahat exhibited exceptional form, dropping only two games across the entire draw. She notably defeated the top-seeded world No. 22 in the semi-finals before winning the final in straight games.
-
Significant Rankings Surge: This title provides a massive boost to her professional ranking, propelling her into the World Top 30. This elevation is crucial as it grants her direct entry into high-tier Platinum events on the PSA World Tour without having to go through qualifiers.
6. RCB clinches WPL Title 2026
-
Historic "Double" Achievement: By winning the 2026 trophy, RCB became the first team in WPL history to win two titles (having previously won in 2024). This win firmly established them as the most successful franchise in the league's early years.
-
Smriti Mandhana’s Masterclass: Captain Smriti Mandhana was the standout performer of the tournament, winning the Orange Cap for most runs. Her aggressive captaincy and a match-winning half-century in the final proved decisive in RCB’s unbeaten run during the knockout stage.
-
Emergence of Local Talent: While international stars performed well, the 2026 campaign was defined by Shreyanka Patil’s dominance; she claimed the Purple Cap with 21 wickets, including a crucial three-wicket haul in the final that dismantled the Mumbai middle order.
7. Bhutan Queen Mother Honoured with ‘Soldier of Humanity’ Award 2025
-
Recognition of Humanitarian Leadership: The award, presented by the International Human Rights Commission (IHRC), honors her four decades of tireless work in promoting gender equality, reproductive health, and the protection of vulnerable women and children in Bhutan.
-
Champion of Social Causes: As the Royal Patron of RENEW (Respect, Educate, Nurture and Empower Women), she was specifically lauded for her role in tackling domestic violence and providing vocational training to marginalized communities, transforming the socio-economic landscape of the kingdom.
-
Global Advocacy Role: The title highlights her influence beyond Bhutan’s borders, particularly her long-standing role as a UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador.
