The National Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF), under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, has developed and deployed an AI-driven climate monitoring system.

The RLV-TD is designed to mimic the landing profile of the Space Shuttle, which was a winged, reusable spacecraft that could land like an airplane.

The RLV-TD test aimed to demonstrate autonomous landing capabilities, a crucial step towards developing reusable launch vehicles that can reduce the cost of space missions.

ISRO successfully conducted the test of its Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) - Technology Demonstrator (TD) on April 7, 2024, at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.

Infrastructure projects are labor-intensive and require substantial inputs like cement, steel, and machinery, leading to direct job creation and boosting demand in allied sectors, thereby stimulating economic activity.

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are widely used for infrastructure projects, combining government support with private sector capital, expertise, and efficiency to deliver large-scale projects.

Infrastructure development improves connectivity, reduces transportation costs, and creates a more efficient environment for businesses, directly enhancing productivity and competitiveness across sectors.

A tight monetary policy involves measures like increasing policy rates (e.g., Repo Rate) and reducing money supply, which leads to higher borrowing costs for businesses and consumers, thereby reducing overall liquidity in the economy.

The primary objective of monetary policy in India is to maintain price stability while keeping in mind the objective of growth, as mandated by the RBI Act, 1934.

Increasing the Repo Rate makes borrowing more expensive for commercial banks, which in turn reduces the money supply in the economy and helps curb inflation.
