T-964: I had promised 20 questions in #UPSC #Prelims 2025 from my current affairs’ compilation However, UPSC was way more predictable this year. Here are references of questions that you can directly solve using my 12 Months' current affairs compilation: t.me/decodecivilsgroup/14335…

T-1395: "Mudit, have we met before? No Sir, we have not met but I have been here. Mudit, we have tested your knowledge enough. This is just a personality test. We will ask you basic questions from your DAF, Current Affairs etc. Please, take a pause, think and then answer." This is exactly what had transpired between the UPSC Interview Board Chairperson Sir and Me at the very start of my 4th UPSC CSE Interview or the personality test. I was at the receiving end of Interview marks due to poorly filled DAF and naive responses. If you have cleared UPSC Mains 2026, Decode Civils has following solutions among others to help you control the "uncontrollable": 1. 1:1 DAF Analysis 2. 8 Interview Preparation Classes by Interview Toppers & Experts 3. 1st of its kind Tech Solution for Interview Preparation.

T-1394: 13343 Aspirants wrote UPSC Mains 2026 and less than 19% i.e. 2526 have been called for Personality Test via results declared last evening. While only marksheets can reveal some detail, if you have not cleared Mains then dont be hard on yourself. Many congratulations to everyone who made it to the personality test round. For those who have cleared Mains, now, its time to control the "uncontrollable" that is the Personality Test (PT). As the Board Chair of my 4th Interview said to me, PT is a conversation and not IQ Test and questions are asked from DAF among other things. My DAF was very weak & poorly filled and that is a blunder that I did across all my 4 interviews. Fill your DAF correctly. That is the 1st and most important step to score 185+ in PT. Decode Civils will conduct 1:1 DAF filling sessions and add you to the Interview Bootcamp that is being held under guidance of Interview Toppers. If interested in 1:1 DAF Analysis and further support, then you may fill this form before you fill all the more important DAF. forms.gle/49zzk8kYC8cX6YGT6 #UPSC #UPSCMains #UPSCResult

T-1393: Geothermal energy: India's policy, provinces and first wells at Puga - 🔥 Geothermal energy is heat from the Earth's interior, brought up through wells to spin turbines or used directly for heating and cooling. Unlike solar and wind, it is available day and night. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) notified a National Policy on Geothermal Energy in September 2025. 🔥 Geothermal energy is produced mainly by the radioactive decay of uranium, thorium and potassium and by heat left from the planet's formation. This heat sets up convection currents in the mantle. In geologically active belts, faults and fractures let hot material rise near the surface, where hot water and steam collect in permeable rock. 🔥 India's 10 geothermal provinces, identified by GSI: the Himalayan, Naga-Lusai, Andaman-Nicobar, West Coast, Cambay Graben, Son-Narmada-Tapi (SONATA), Aravalli, Godavari, Mahanadi and South Indian Cratonic provinces. 🔥 GSI sites by State: Puga and Chumathang in Ladakh; Manikaran in Himachal Pradesh; Bakreshwar in West Bengal; Manuguru in Telangana; Tattapani appears in both Himachal Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. 🔥 The 2025 policy lists four power plant types: dry steam, flash steam, binary cycle and Organic Rankine Cycle; plants are modular and can be added in units.

T-1391: Nuclear fusion, the tokamak and India's role in ITER - Nuclear fusion releases energy when light nuclei such as deuterium and tritium merge into helium, the process that powers the Sun. A tokamak uses magnets to hold this fuel, heated to about 100 million degrees Celsius, as plasma. India runs its own tokamaks and is one of ITER's seven Members. A Bengaluru startup has now built a small private tokamak. A tokamak is a doughnut-shaped machine in which strong magnets hold that plasma clear of the walls. The largest tokamak, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), is being built at Saint Paul-lez-Durance in southern France under the ITER Agreement of 2006. Its seven Members are China, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States. India's work is led by the Institute for Plasma Research (IPR) in Gujarat, under the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE). ADITYA, the country's first indigenous tokamak, began operating in 1989 and is now upgraded as ADITYA-U; the Steady State Tokamak (SST-1) came next.

T-1386: In 2026 UPSC prelims, Current Affairs questions were from areas which hardly anyone considers to be important. Be it industry locations, India's projects, awards or events' themes. However, I had covered it all. What news is important and what is not is subjective and one needs to have the eye to identify that. Thus, following shortcuts will help you answer max 10 questions. If you want to prepare current affairs then do it comprehensively or else dont waste your time. Prelims Current Affairs Coming Soon! I will provide you: 1. Comprehensive Material and Classes to target 30+ questions. 2. Revision Material and Classes for those who still want shortcuts. 3. Daily-weekly-monthly tests for spaced revision and retention. 4.

T-1381: The Supreme Court, in an order dated 15 October 2026, held that the right to access and use the internet is a fundamental right of every individual, children included, under Article 21 read with Article 19(1)(a). It called blanket age-based bans disproportionate and directed the Union to create a national database for removing child sexual abuse material. It considered whether children should be kept off social media for safety, and declined to endorse that. Safety measures, it said, must target the harmful material and the people and platforms behind it, not the child. It suggested a parental-consent "child mode" for pre-teens instead, leaving the details to the Union, and kept the Union free to restrict children's access to inherently harmful content, such as adult websites. The holding builds on two earlier rulings. Anuradha Bhasin v. Union of India (2020) protected speech and business carried on through the internet, and Pragya Prasun v. Union of India (2025) called digital access an intrinsic part of the right to life.

T-1380: The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a peer-reviewed annual report published by the European humanitarian organizations Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe to track hunger globally. While the index ranks India in the "serious hunger" category (scoring 24.1 and ranking 100th out of 122 countries in the 2026 report), the Government of India (GoI) has consistently rejected the index, calling its methodology flawed, biased, and unrepresentative of the country's actual ground realities. 🚫 Core GoI Objections to GHI • Children Over-represented: Three out of four indicators focus exclusively on children under five. The government argues early childhood health data cannot accurately represent the hunger status of India's entire adult population. • Flawed Data Collection: The index relies on unrepresentative, opinion-based survey data with small sample sizes. The government asserts that subjective questionnaires fail to capture the ground reality of a 1.4-billion-strong population. • Misattributed Causes: Child stunting and wasting stem from a complex matrix of non-food factors. The government states genetics, poor sanitation, and lack of clean drinking water are wrongly attributed solely to hunger. • Ignores Food Schemes: The report completely overlooks massive domestic food security initiatives. The government highlights that the index disregards real-time welfare programs like PM-GKAY, which feeds over 80 crore beneficiaries. You can read the full report at CAShorts.
