पनडुब्बी की तरह पानी के अंदर जाकर डॉल्फिन की तस्वीरें लेगा ड्रोन
चंबल नदी में पाई जाने वाली गेंगेटिक डॉल्फिन की गणना अब ड्रोन कैमरे से की जाएगी। यह ड्रोन पानी के भीतर डॉल्फिन और दूसरे जलीय जीवों की तस्वीरें लेगा और वीडियो बनाएगा। इससे जलीय जीवों की सटीक गणना हो पाएगी। राष्ट्रीय घड़ियाल चंबल अभ्यारण्य में पहली बार यह प्रयोग होने जा रहा है। अभ्यारण्य की टीम की ओर से डॉल्फिन और दूसरे जलीय जीवों की गणना के लिए जो ड्रोन इस्तेमाल किया जा रहा है, वह नदी की 500 मीटर गहराई में जाकर फोटो और वीडियो बनाने में मदद करेगा।

First Indian airline to fly over North Pole
Air India hoisted its Boeing 777 aircraft over the North pole to become the first Indian airline to operate commercial flights overflying the polar region. Its Delhi-San Francisco flight, which usually overflies the Atlantic or the Pacific ocean, cut across latitudes instead on 15 August 2019 to fly over zero degree north in a feat that would probably be Air India's last hurrah before it is thrown into the throes of privatisation.

NITI's Export Preparedness Index 2022
GS Paper - 3 (Economy)

Tamil Nadu has pipped Maharashtra and Gujarat to emerge as the top state in the Niti Aayog's Export Preparedness Index 2022. The index is aimed at assessing the readiness of the states in terms of their export potential and performance. Gujarat had topped the chart in the last two rankings.

More about the Index

Tamil Nadu with an overall score of 80.89 topped the third edition of rankings. Maharashtra with a score of 78.20 was second while Karnataka (76.36) was third.
Gujarat with a score of 73.22 was fourth, followed by Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal and Kerala in that order in the ranking of coastal states, according to the government think tank's report released on 17 July 2023.
Among hilly/Himalayan states, Uttarakhand (59.13) has ranked at the top position. It is followed by Himachal Pradesh, Manipur, Tripura, Sikkim, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram in that order.
Haryana (63.65) topped the chart among the landlocked regions. It was followed by Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
In the category of union territories/small states, Goa (51.58) was ranked first. Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar and Ladakh were ranked second, third, fourth and fifth, respectively.

Flashback

The index can be used by the regions to benchmark their performance against their peers and analyse potential challenges to develop better policy mechanisms to foster export-led growth at the sub-national level.
The ranking is based on four main pillars: policy, business ecosystem, export ecosystem and export performance.
The index is also aimed at promoting competition among all states (coastal, landlocked, Himalayan and UTs) to bring about favourable policies, ease the regulatory framework, create necessary infrastructure and assist in identifying strategic recommendations for improving export competitiveness.
