🇮🇳 Key Developments in India
1. NITI Aayog launches “Reimagining Agriculture” roadmap
The NITI Aayog’s Frontier Tech Hub unveiled a report titled “Reimagining Agriculture: A Roadmap for Frontier Technology-Led Transformation” which outlines a long-term (up to 2047) vision for integrating advanced technologies into Indian agriculture (AI, robotics, drones, data analytics) and making it inclusive and resilient.
Why it matters: This signals a structural push to modernise agriculture, link it with high tech, and transform a key economic sector — relevant both for rural livelihoods and national productivity.
2. Severe air-pollution in Delhi-NCR
Several monitoring stations in Delhi recorded “severe” Air Quality Index (AQI) readings (above 400) on 4 Nov, e.g., Wazirpur 403, Jahangirpuri 402, Bawana 396.
Why it matters: Air-pollution with such levels raises public-health alarm, urban governance issues, and links to environment/health policy. It’s a reminder of the persistent challenge of urban pollution in India.
3. Launch/announcements in maritime & artisan economy sectors
The India Maritime Week 2025 (27-31 Oct, Mumbai) concluded with more than 600 MoUs worth over ₹12 lakh crore in the maritime sector.
The Indian Railways is promoting an online store “Aabhar” on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal to feature handicrafts, hand-loom goods and tribal artisan products — aligning with the “Vocal for Local” initiative.
Why they matter: These developments touch on infrastructure & investment (maritime) and MSME / indigenous economy (artisan/hand-loom) — both important for economic diversification, employment and export potential.
