Cabinet Approves ₹2,781 Crore Railway Multitracking Projects
In a major step towards modernizing the country’s railway infrastructure, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has sanctioned two crucial multitracking projects worth ₹2,781 crore. These projects are designed to improve the efficiency of the Indian Railways, especially in Maharashtra and Gujarat, where both passenger movement and freight operations are witnessing growing pressure.
Together, these projects will add 224 km of enhanced railway capacity and are expected to benefit more than 32 lakh people residing across 4 districts and 585 villages.
Key Approved Projects
- Devbhumi Dwarka (Okha) – Kanalus Doubling Project
- State: Gujarat
- Length: 141 km
- Badlapur – Karjat 3rd & 4th Line Project
- State: Maharashtra
- Length: 32 km
- Corridor: Mumbai suburban network
These infrastructure upgrades are part of the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, which seeks to create a seamless, multimodal transport ecosystem. The initiative emphasizes integrated planning, better connectivity, improved logistics efficiency, and coordinated development between various stakeholders.
Government Launches ₹7,280 Crore Scheme to Boost REPM Manufacturing
The Union Cabinet has approved a landmark ₹7,280 crore scheme dedicated to promoting the domestic production of Sintered Rare Earth Permanent Magnets (REPMs). This is India’s first comprehensive effort to build a full-scale REPM manufacturing framework within the country.
Rare Earth Permanent Magnets are essential components used in several strategic and emerging sectors, including:
- Electric mobility
- Renewable energy systems such as wind turbines
- Aerospace and defence
- Automation and industrial machinery
- Consumer electronics
The scheme aims to establish a capacity of 6,000 Metric Tons Per Annum and develop the entire value chain—from rare earth oxide conversion to alloy development and final magnet fabrication. This initiative is expected to significantly reduce import dependence and support India’s long-term goal of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2070.
India Inaugurates First Global Aircraft Engine MRO Facility
On 26 November 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated India’s first world-class aircraft engine Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility in Hyderabad. Built by French aerospace leader Safran, the Safran Aircraft Engine Services India (SAESI) campus marks a turning point in India’s aviation capabilities.
Indian airlines currently send nearly 85% of their MRO requirements abroad, resulting in major foreign exchange outflows and longer aircraft downtime. The establishment of SAESI will help India:
- Retain billions in foreign exchange
- Reduce maintenance timelines
- Strengthen aviation supply chains
- Become a competitive global MRO provider
The new facility also supports the government’s vision of making India a global aviation hub.
44th India International Trade Fair Celebrates Tribal Heritage
The 44th India International Trade Fair (IITF) in New Delhi showcased India’s rich tribal culture under the theme “Ek Bharat: Shreshtha Bharat.” More than 705 tribal communities participated, presenting textiles, paintings, handicrafts, jewelry, and metal artworks.
The event highlighted the role of TRIFED, an organization under the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, in strengthening tribal livelihoods through:
- Skill development and capacity building
- Expanding market opportunities
- Helping tribal products gain national and global visibility
- Organizing cultural exhibitions such as Aadi Mahotsav
As India looks toward becoming a $5 trillion economy by 2047, integrating tribal creativity into mainstream economic growth is crucial for inclusive development.

ICC rankings evaluate players based on match performances, consistency, and contributions to team success. Rohit’s achievement is a testament to his enduring excellence.
India Observes Constitution Day 2025
India celebrated Constitution Day on 26 November 2025, marking the 76th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution in 1949. The day highlights the vision of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Constitution, and promotes awareness of constitutional principles among citizens.
Originally observed as National Law Day, the Government of India renamed it Constitution Day in 2015 to commemorate Dr. Ambedkar’s 125th birth anniversary. While the Constitution was adopted on 26 November 1949, it came into full effect on 26 January 1950, celebrated annually as Republic Day.
The drafting process was exceptionally rigorous, taking 2 years, 11 months, and 18 days, reflecting the dedication of the Constituent Assembly to create a strong democratic foundation.
National Milk Day 2025
Observed every year on November 26, National Milk Day honours Dr. Verghese Kurien, widely known as the Father of the White Revolution. His groundbreaking initiatives transformed India from a milk-deficient nation into the world’s largest milk producer, accounting for nearly 25% of global milk output.
Key breakthroughs such as the establishment of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in 1965 and the launch of Operation Flood in 1970 revolutionized the dairy sector, ensuring income stability for millions of farmers and making India self-sufficient in milk production.
