Shakti Sadan (2022): Providing Shelter and Rehabilitation for Women in Difficult Situations in India.

Women facing domestic violence, human trafficking, abandonment and extreme poverty often struggle to find safe shelter and rebuild their lives. Before 2022, the Government of India operated two separate schemes, Swadhar Greh for women in difficult circumstances and Ujjawala for preventing trafficking and supporting survivors. However, separate arrangements created a need for a more integrated approach to shelter and rehabilitation. In April 2022, the government brought these schemes together under Mission Shakti and introduced Shakti Sadan as an integrated relief and rehabilitation home. The scheme aims to provide women with safe accommodation, food, clothing, healthcare, counselling and legal support. It also promotes vocational training and financial independence so that women can rebuild their lives with dignity and greater security.

This includes taking banned drugs such as anabolic steroids, stimulants, or hormones, as well as using methods like blood doping or gene doping to gain an unfair advantage over competitors. Doping violates the principles of fair play and sportsmanship, as it gives athletes an artificial edge rather than relying on natural ability, training, and skill. It also poses serious health risks to athletes, including cardiovascular problems, hormonal imbalances, liver damage, and psychological effects

The Indo-Pacific Partnership for Maritime Domain Awareness (IPMDA) : India’s Maritime Security Diplomacy Under the Quad Framework

The Indo-Pacific Partnership for Maritime Domain Awareness (IPMDA), launched at the 2022 Quad Leaders' Summit in Tokyo, serves as a non-military, technology-driven data-sharing initiative designed to provide near-real-time maritime intelligence across the Indo-Pacific region. It integrates New Delhi’s national security policies, specifically the SAGAR (Security and Growth for All in the Region) vision introduced in 2015 and the MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across the Region) doctrine, with Quad-wide surveillance networks (Ministry of External Affairs, 2025). This framework allows India to act as a "net security provider" across the IOR while preserving its strategic autonomy and non-alignment posture.
