Monthly Current Affairs July 2024
Hool Diwas
- President Droupadi Murmu paid her tributes to all the immortal fighters of the Santhal rebellion on ‘Hool Diwas’. In a social media post, the President said that the immortal stories of sacrifices of heroes like Sido-Kanhu, Chand-Bhairav and Phoolo-Jhano who fought a historic war against injustice are written in golden letters.
- She said that the ideals of those revolutionaries will always remain a source of inspiration for all countrymen.
- The Santhal rebellion (also known as the Sonthal rebellion or the Santhal Hool), was a rebellion in present-day Jharkhand and West Bengal against the East India Company (EIC) and zamindari system by the Santhals.
- It started on June 30, 1855, and on November 10, 1855, martial law was proclaimed by the East India Company which lasted until January 3, 1856, when martial law was suspended and the rebellion was eventually suppressed by the presidency armies.
SpaceX To Destroy The International Space Station
- NASA has awarded SpaceX an $843 million contract to construct a spacecraft aimed at safely deorbiting the International Space Station (ISS) by around 2030.
- While SpaceX will build the vehicle, NASA will oversee its operation and take ownership of the craft once completed.
- According to the space agency’s plans, SpaceX’s specially designed deorbit vehicle will drag the football field-size ISS back to Earth sometime after the end of its operational life in 2030.
- The ISS will smash into our planet’s atmosphere at a speed of more than 17,000 mph (27,500 km/h) before landing in a crashdown spot in the ocean.
- The floating laboratory’s first parts were launched in 1998, and it has been occupied by astronauts from the U.S., Japan, Russia, Canada and Europe since 2000, who have completed more than 3,300 scientific experiments in a close orbit above Earth.
- But the space station is showing its age: technical faults and leaks continue to cause issues for crews, and the contracts between the five participating national space agencies, which marked an era of global cooperation in space following the end of the Cold War, will end by 2030.
- Weighing approximately 430,000 kilograms (950,000 pounds), the ISS stands as the largest structure ever constructed in space, symbolizing a collaborative effort among the United States, Europe, Japan, Canada, and Russia since its inception in 2000.
- While the US and its partners plan to maintain operations until 2030, Russia’s commitment extends only until 2028. The ISS also faces risks from the growing problem of space junk – orbital debris made of other defunct satellites, whipping around Earth at high speeds.
- The crew were allowed to return to the ISS after about an hour, and operations continued as normal. But it’s still unclear exactly when the space station will be brought crashing back to Earth. These include Axiom Space’s Axiom Station, and the Orbital Reef designed by Blue Origin and Sierra Space. Both stations are slated to come online by the end of this decade.
FATF Grey List Status
- Turkish Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek announced that Turkey has been removed from the FATF ‘grey list’ after recent evaluations of the country’s progress on money laundering and terrorist financing.
- The decision, declared at the FATF plenary meeting in Singapore, marks a significant milestone for Turkey, which had been placed on the grey list in 2021.
- In 2021, Turkey was downgraded to the grey list due to concerns over money laundering and terrorist financing. Criticisms included Turkey’s support for terrorist groups, such as Hamas, and inadequate supervision of various sectors susceptible to illicit financial activities.
- The FATF acknowledged Turkey’s significant reforms, particularly in the regulation of cryptocurrency.
- The Turkish Parliament recently approved legislation increasing oversight of the crypto market, ensuring stringent management and operational standards. This move was pivotal in addressing FATF’s concerns and contributed to Turkey’s removal from the grey list.
- Despite Turkey’s removal from the grey list, there are ongoing criticisms. Some argue that Turkey still poses a risk as a hub for terror financing, with allegations of support for Hamas and involvement in financing arms transactions for groups like the Houthi rebels and Russia.
- Financial Action Task Force (FATF) : Establishment: 1989, Headquarters: Paris, France, Members: 39 members, including major countries and regional organizations. To develop policies and standards to combat money laundering, terrorist financing, and other related threats to the integrity of the international financial system

India First Nation To Prepare Full List Of Fauna
- Fauna of India Checklist Portal is the first comprehensive document on the faunal species reported from India. India has become the first country in the world to prepare a checklist of its entire fauna, covering 104,561 species.
- The ‘Fauna of India Checklist Portal’ was launched on the occasion of the 109th Foundation Day of the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) in Kolkata on Sunday by Union environment minister Bhupender Yadav.
- “India is a global champion in biodiversity conservation,” Yadav said, referencing the “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” initiative as a testament to the country’s dedication to environmental preservation.
- This program was one of the first major initiatives undertaken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi after his re-election. Additionally, Yadav highlighted other government initiatives aimed at preserving biodiversity, such as the International Big Cat Alliance.
- He pointed to the successful relocation of cheetahs to India as an example of the country’s effective conservation efforts. Among the 1,358 bird species present in India, there are 79 that are endemic, meaning they are found nowhere else in the world.
- The Western Ghats Bio-geographic zone has the highest number of these species at 28, with the Andaman and Nicobar Islands being the next most important area for endemism.

Asia’s Largest Flight Training School
- Air India is establishing South Asia’s largest flight training school in Maharashtra’s Amravati district with an investment of over ₹200 crore.
- Scheduled to open in the first quarter of the next financial year, this initiative aims to secure a steady pipeline of pilots for the airline, which will require 500-700 pilots annually to support its expansion plans following a mega order of 470 Airbus and Boeing aircraft in 2023.
- In partnership with Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC), Air India has leased a 10-acre plot in Amravati for thirty years. The facility will feature 31 single-engine Piper aircraft and three twin-engine Diamond aircraft, training 180 commercial pilots annually.
- The infrastructure includes a newly extended runway of 1,850 metres, modern navigation aids, and night landing facilities. Amravati offers over 300 days of clean visibility, optimizing conditions for pilot training.
- Campbell Wilson, MD & CEO of Air India, highlighted that the Amravati flying training organization marks a significant step towards self-reliance in Indian aviation.

Project Nexus by RBI
- Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has joined Project Nexus, a worldwide effort to make it easier for people to send money instantly across borders. To do this, Fast Payment Systems (FPSs) in different countries are linked together. In this plan, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) of India will link to the FPSs of Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.
- The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Innovation Hub started Project Nexus to bring about a new way of doing things in international payments. Nexus’ main goal is to improve international money transfers by combining different local Instant Payment Systems (IPS) in a way that doesn’t cause any problems.
- With this promise, Project Nexus will be the first live implementation-focused project for the payments industry by the BIS Innovation Hub. The framework of the project supports an open, quick, and safe space for sending money across borders, supporting connectivity for both Person to Person (P2P) and Person to Merchant (P2M) payments.
- Project Nexus is unique because it can standardize the connectivity methods for instant payments around the world. In the past, each country’s FPS needed its unique links to each other’s. With Nexus, these systems only need one way to connect to the platform.
- This makes the process much easier and cuts down on the time and money needed for integration. Some of the biggest benefits are faster purchases (often finished in less than 60 seconds) and lower costs, which lead to more users and happier users.
- Founding Members of Project Nexus: At its commencement, Project Nexus will include the Fast Payment Systems (FPSs) of four Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)—Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand—alongside India. These nations, recognized as the founding members of the Nexus platform, formalized their participation and mutual commitment at a signing event held in Basel, Switzerland, on June 30, 2024.

Russia’s New Orbital Station
- Russia has approved the schedule for the creation of a Russian orbital station by 2033. The schedule includes the design and construction of the space modules, flight tests of a new-generation manned spaceship, the creation of launch vehicles and space infrastructure on Earth, and a timetable for the work of scientific institutes supporting the project.
- The agency confirmed plans to launch an initial scientific and energy module in 2027. It said three more modules would be added by 2030 and a further two between 2031 and 2033.
- Russia has until now partnered with the United States and other countries on the International Space Station, one of the few areas where it still collaborates closely with the US given the dire state of relations since its invasion of Ukraine.
- With the ISS approaching the end of its operational life, Moscow announced plans in 2022 to pull out of the project and build its own station. It initially said it would quit the ISS after 2024 but told its partners last year it would extend its participation until 2028.
- Apart from the design and manufacture of the modules, Roscomos said the schedule approved by Borisov includes flight-testing a new-generation crewed spacecraft and building rockets and ground-based infrastructure.
- The new station will enable Russia to “solve problems of scientific and technological development, national economy and national security that are not available on the Russian segment of the ISS due to technological limitations and the terms of international agreements”, it said.
- Russia has prided itself on its space programme since the Cold War, when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to travel into space in 1961. But it suffered a major setback last year with the failure of its first lunar mission in 47 years, when its uncrewed spacecraft spun out of control and smashed into the surface of the moon.

World’s First CNG Bike
- Union Minister Nitin Gadkari launched Bajaj Auto’s new bike, Freedom, the world’s first CNG motorcycle. He praised it as “eco-friendly” and “sustainable,” highlighting the significant issues of air, sound, and water pollution, and the high cost of fossil fuel imports in India.
