The Make India Initiative has propelled electronics manufacturing to grow 7 times and exports to grow 11 times since FY 2014-15. The electronics manufacturing sector has also emerged as a significant source of employment, with a few plants employing more than 5,000 employees at a single location. (MeitY, 2026)
School education in India has long relied on public investment alone to meet the twin challenges of infrastructure gaps and learning-resource shortages, particularly in government schools. Recognising that community and private-sector participation could supplement rather than replace government effort, the Department of School Education & Literacy, Ministry of Education, introduced Vidyanjali, a school volunteer programme designed to connect government and government-aided schools with volunteers, resources, and institutional support.
The journey of smart grid in India is not new and it's even pre-dating the National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM). The Ministry of Power (MoP) has set up the India Smart Grid Task Force (ISGTF) and the India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF) in 2010 to give policy guidance for smart grid technologies.
Shipping containers are an essential part of modern trade because they allow goods to move smoothly between ships, trains and trucks without being repeatedly unloaded and repacked. As India’s manufacturing and international trade have expanded, its requirement for these containers has also increased. However, India remains significantly dependent on imported empty containers, with nearly two million units being imported annually (Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, 2026). This dependence can create problems when global shipping routes are disrupted or freight costs rise, making a stronger domestic container manufacturing industry increasingly important.
Kerala's Tribal Resettlement and Development Mission (TRDM) traces its origins to one of the most consequential Adivasi mobilisations in the state's history. In October 2001, thousands of landless Scheduled Tribe (ST) families, organised under the Adivasi Gothra Maha Sabha (AGMS) and led by C.K. Janu and M. Geethanandan, staged a 48 day kudil kettal samaram (hut building protest) outside the Kerala Secretariat. The agitation followed the deaths of over thirty Adivasis from starvation related causes in Wayanad and demanded the distribution of cultivable land to the estimated 52,000 landless tribal families identified by the state.
Goa is India's smallest state by area, spread across roughly 3,700 sq. km along the western coast and divided into North Goa and South Goa districts (with a third district, Kushavati, recently notified in South Goa). Its economy has historically leaned heavily on tourism, mining and remittances, alongside a growing services and IT base, a structure that also leaves it exposed to global shocks, from oil-price swings to shifts in outbound travel demand.
Mizoram, in northeast India, borders Myanmar, Bangladesh, and the Indian states of Assam, Manipur and Tripura, and is known for its scenic hills and rich culture. Aizawl is both its capital and largest city. The state spans 21,081 sq km and has a population of 10,97,206 as per Census 2011 (Office of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India, 2011), making it the second least populated state in India after Sikkim.
