INS Tarmugli was originally commissioned as INS Tillanchang, then gifted to the Maldives as CGS Huravee, and later returned to India and recommissioned as INS Tarmugli in 2016.

INS Tarmugli is a Water Jet Fast Attack Craft (WJFAC) that was deployed to the Andaman and Nicobar Command in December 2023 to bolster coastal security and surveillance capabilities.

By providing more accurate predictions of extreme weather events and long-term climate shifts, the system can significantly aid disaster preparedness, response, and long-term planning for infrastructure and resource management in urban and rural areas.

AI algorithms excel at identifying complex correlations and subtle patterns within large volumes of historical climate data, which can be challenging for traditional methods. This leads to more nuanced understanding and predictions.

AI's ability to process vast datasets and identify complex patterns makes it ideal for climate modeling. This system aims to enhance the accuracy and speed of predicting climate change effects, aiding in mitigation and adaptation strategies.

The Gaganyaan program aims to demonstrate India's human spaceflight capability by sending astronauts to space. The development and testing of a powerful and reliable cryogenic engine are essential for the launch vehicle that will carry the crew.

The Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) is ISRO's dedicated facility for the development of liquid and cryogenic propulsion systems. VSSC is the lead center for overall launch vehicle development, SDSC is the launch site, and URSC is responsible for satellite development.

Cryogenic engines are known for their high efficiency and thrust, making them ideal for the upper stages of rockets, especially for missions requiring significant velocity changes like orbital insertion or interplanetary travel. ISRO's CE-20 engine, tested for Gaganyaan, is designed for this purpose.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is a key international organization that regularly publishes economic forecasts, including GDP growth projections for various countries like India, as part of its World Economic Outlook reports.

The expenditure method of calculating GDP includes Consumption (C), Investment (I), Government Spending (G), and Net Exports (X-M). Government final consumption expenditure falls under 'G'.
