1. Supreme Court Stays Lokpal Order on HC Judge

The Supreme Court of India recently intervened in a legal case involving the Lokpal's authority to examine corruption allegations against High Court judges. The Supreme Court's decision to suspend a Lokpal order has sparked concerns about judicial independence and the accountability structure for judges. 

Section 77 of the Indian Penal Code of 1860 prevents judges from being charged with crimes relating to their official duties. This protection is underlined in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023. The Supreme Court imposed additional safeguards in the K Veeraswami v Union of India case, requiring presidential approval for criminal investigations against judges.

2. India Achieves Milestone with 10,000 FPOs

The Indian government has successfully formed 10,000 Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) as part of its flagship plan. This effort, which began in February 2020, intends to increase agricultural productivity and strengthen rural economies. The 10,000th FPO was registered in Bihar's Khagaria district, marking a significant milestone. This FPO specialises in maize, banana, and paddy cultivation.

The SFAC (Small Farmers' Agribusiness Consortium) plays a significant role in promoting FPOs throughout India. It advises and supports farmers in founding and administering these associations. SFAC assists farmers in navigating the complexity of agribusiness and ensuring they can use their collective strength to gain improved market access.

3. Historic Agreement At COP16 On Biodiversity Financing

World leaders assembled in Rome for the 16th Conference of the Parties (COP16) have made significant progress in global biodiversity conservation. The meeting resumed on February 25, 2025, following a halt in Cali, Colombia in 2024. A historic agreement was struck to provide a long-term funding mechanism to support the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF). 

The agreement seeks to overcome the biodiversity financing gap by establishing long-term funding mechanisms within the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). This includes expanding existing funding sources and looking into new options such as private sector contributions and blended finance. Governments committed to mobilising $200 billion annually by 2030, with an interim objective of $20 billion per year by 2025, rising to $30 billion by 2030 from foreign sources. The Global Environment Facility (GEF) has already committed nearly $3 billion to biodiversity targets, leveraging an additional $22 billion, including $1.9 billion from the corporate sector.

4. Aditya-L1 Captures The First-ever Image Of Kernel

Aditya-L1, India's first dedicated space-based solar project, has reached a key milestone. On February 22, 2025, the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) aboard Aditya-L1 took the first photograph of a solar flare 'kernel' in the lower solar atmosphere. This observation is critical to understanding solar activity and its effects on Earth.

Aditya-L1 is India's first solar observatory mission. It will be launched on September 2, 2023, to study the Sun from 1.5 million miles away. The spacecraft reached Lagrange Point 1 (L1) on January 6, 2024. This is ISRO's second astronomy observatory-class project, succeeding AstroSat.

5. Operation Brahma By India For Helping Myanmar

Myanmar recently witnessed a terrible earthquake that killed many people and caused massive destruction. In response, India launched 'Operation Brahma' to deliver emergency humanitarian aid. This action demonstrates India's devotion to its 'Neighbourhood First' policy as well as the 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' philosophy, which states that the world is one family.

6. SMILE Programme Funded By ADB

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) funds the SMILE Programme, which aims to strengthen the multimodal and integrated logistics ecosystem. The plan, launched to improve India's logistics infrastructure, aims to cut transportation costs while increasing overall efficiency. It complies with the National Logistics Policy and the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan.

The SMILE (Strengthening Multimodal and Integrated Logistics Ecosystem) Programme aims to increase logistics efficiency through a variety of strategic actions. These include building institutional frameworks for multimodal logistics across several government levels. The program also focuses on standardising warehouse and logistics assets to improve supply chains.

7. India to Launch Sahkar Taxi Services

The Indian government plans to develop "Sahkar Taxi," a cooperative taxi service. This effort seeks to offer a credible alternative to major ride-hailing companies like Ola and Uber. Union Minister Amit Shah unveiled the initiative in Parliament, emphasising its focus on directly assisting drivers rather than major corporations. The service will include two-wheeler taxis, autorickshaws, and four-wheeler taxis throughout the country.

Sahkar Taxi will operate under a cooperative model. This means that all earnings generated will be distributed directly to the drivers. This strategy contrasts with existing services, which share profits with major corporations. The government wants to help drivers financially. The service will also include a cooperative insurance firm that will insure drivers.

8. Masaki Kashiwara Wins 2025 Abel Prize

Masaki Kashiwara won the Abel Prize for Mathematics in 2025. The 78-year-old Japanese mathematician was recognised for his contributions to algebraic analysis and representation theory. The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters honoured his work on D-modules and crystal bases. This award recognises the role of mathematics in furthering scientific understanding.

Masaki Kashiwara has revolutionised algebraic analysis and representation theory during the last fifty years. His work with D-modules established a new framework for understanding linear differential equations. Kashiwara's discovery of crystal bases simplified difficult computations and made them more accessible. He has worked with well-known mathematicians, notably Pierre Schapira, and written seminal publications such as "Sheaves on Manifolds."

9. India’s First National Cooperative University

The Lok Sabha recently passed the Tribhuvan Sahkari University Bill, 2025, which aims to establish India's first national cooperative university at the Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) in Gujarat. The university will enhance education, research, and training in the cooperative sector across the country. The Tribhuvan Sahkari University will be a hub for cooperative training. It would register cooperative training institutes from all states as affiliated colleges. The university will provide degrees, diplomas, and PhD programs. It is estimated that approximately 800,000 people will acquire certification each year.

10. Kerala Establishes First Senior Citizens Commission in India

Kerala became the first state in India to create a Senior Citizens Commission. The Kerala Legislative Assembly approved the Kerala State Senior Citizens Commission Bill in early 2025. This project strives to improve the welfare and rights of the state's senior population.

The Kerala State Senior Citizens Commission would have a chairperson and up to three members. One member will be a woman, while another will represent the Scheduled Castes or Tribes. An Additional Secretary will serve as secretary, and the registrar will be a Joint Secretary from the law department. Members will serve for a fixed term of three years.
