Current Affairs 28 June 2025
Jain Spiritual Leader Acharya Vidyanand Ji Maharaj
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the centenary celebrations of Acharya Vidyanand Ji Maharaj in New Delhi. He will also address the gathering on the occasion. The programme will mark the formal commencement of a year-long national tribute, being organised by the government, in collaboration with Bhagwan Mahaveer Ahimsa Bharti Trust to honour the 100th birth anniversary of Acharya Vidyanand Ji Maharaj.
- He was a revered Jain spiritual leader and social reformer. The year-long celebration will include cultural, literary, educational, and spiritual initiatives across the country, aimed at celebrating his life and legacy and spreading his message. Acharya Vidyanand Ji Maharaj authored more than 50 works on Jain philosophy and ethics.
- He played an instrumental role in the restoration and revival of ancient Jain temples across India and worked for education, especially in Prakrit, Jain philosophy, and classical languages.
Indus Waters Treaty
- India has rejected a ruling issued by the so-called Court of Arbitration on the Kishenganga and Ratle hydroelectric projects situated in Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs dismissed the supplemental award given by the illegal Court of Arbitration purportedly constituted under the Indus Waters Treaty 1960.
- The Ministry said, India has never recognised the legal validity of this Court of Arbitration terming its constitution a serious breach of the Indus Waters Treaty. It said, any proceedings before this forum and any decision taken by it, is illegal.
- The Ministry said, Indus Waters Treaty has been placed in abeyance by the country after the Pahalgam terrorist attack. The decision was taken in view of Pakistan’s support to cross-border terrorism. The Ministry stressed that India is no longer bound to perform any of its obligations under the Treaty.
- It emphasized that no Court of Arbitration has the authority to question India’s sovereign decision in this matter. The Ministry of External Affairs said this latest charade at Pakistan’s behest is yet another desperate attempt by it to escape accountability for its role as the global epicenter of terrorism.
- It said, Pakistan’s resort to this fabricated arbitration mechanism is consistent with its decades-long pattern of deception and manipulation of international forums.
World Police & Fire Games
- Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed his joy over India being designated as the host country for the 2029 World Police and Fire Games. In a social media post, Mr. Shah said that it is a moment of great pride for every citizen. He remarked that India winning the prestigious bid to host the event is a global recognition of its sprawling sports infrastructure.
- The Home Minister added that Ahmedabad being selected as the venue for the event, which brings together police, fire, and disaster services to compete in more than 50 sports, is a testament to the city’s rising stature as a sporting destination.
E- Voting System For Urban Polls
- Bihar becomes the first Indian state to introduce e-voting for urban local body elections, allowing citizens to cast their votes through an Android-based mobile app developed by C-DAC and the Bihar State Election Commission (SEC).
- Advanced security measures like blockchain, live face detection, face matching, and audit trails have been integrated into the e-voting system to ensure tamper-proof and transparent voting.
- Over 10,000 voters have already registered for e-voting, and the SEC believes this move will improve voter turnout and make the electoral process more inclusive and accessible.
- Bihar SEC has pioneered digital innovations like Face Recognition System (FRS) for voter verification, OCR-based counting of votes, and digital locks for EVM strong rooms, setting an example for other states in modernising electoral processes.
48th PRAGATI Meeting
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the 48th edition of PRAGATI, the Centre’s ICT-enabled platform for proactive governance, where he reviewed critical infrastructure projects in the Mines, Railways, and Water Resources sectors, emphasising timely execution and better inter-agency coordination.
- Prime Minister highlighted the urgent need for equitable healthcare access through the PM-ABHIM initiative, calling it a golden opportunity for states to strengthen primary, tertiary, and specialized health services, especially for marginalized and underserved populations.
UN80 Initiative
- UN80 Initiative aims to strengthen the United Nations’ effectiveness amid rising global challenges. The initiative responds to issues such as conflict, displacement, inequality, and climate change. It also addresses the need for reform due to budget constraints and political divisions among member states.
- UN80 Initiative comprises three primary workstreams.
- The first focuses on improving internal efficiency. This includes reducing bureaucratic procedures and optimising the UN’s global operations. The goal is to cut unnecessary red tape and enhance productivity.
- The second workstream involves a comprehensive review of nearly 4,000 UN mandates. These mandates guide the organisation’s operations across various areas, including peacekeeping and humanitarian aid. Many mandates are outdated or overlapping. The review aims to eliminate redundancies and ensure that resources are allocated effectively.
- The third workstream examines potential structural changes within the UN system. This involves assessing whether current organisational frameworks meet contemporary needs. Recommendations from the mandate review may inform these structural changes.
- UN80 Task Force operates through seven thematic clusters. Each cluster focuses on specific areas such as peace and security, humanitarian action, and human rights. Senior UN leaders coordinate these clusters to ensure a unified approach. This system-wide perspective aims to improve coordination and reduce fragmentation across the UN.
- Financial challenges are concern for the UN. The initiative faces scrutiny over proposed budget cuts and staff reductions. However, Ryder clarifies that the goal is not downsizing but enhancing the UN’s effectiveness. The initiative seeks to balance financial sustainability with the mission’s impact.
- The UN80 Initiative is crucial for those relying on UN support during crises. Effective reform can lead to more efficient delivery of life-saving interventions. The UN currently assists millions of displaced individuals and provides essential services globally. Enhancing its operational capacity is vital for maintaining peace and promoting sustainable development.
- UN80 Task Force will present proposals to the Secretary-General. Initial proposals on efficiencies in the UN Secretariat are expected soon. A report on the mandate implementation review will follow. These proposals will inform broader discussions on structural changes and programme realignment. Member states will ultimately decide on implementing the findings.
- Success for the UN80 Initiative means a more effective UN system. It should enhance public trust in multilateral action. The goal is to demonstrate the UN’s relevance in addressing global challenges. Strengthening credibility and capability is essential for ensuring that the UN remains a vital institution.
