ISRO’s Aditya-L1 Joins Global Study on Major Solar Storm 

• ISRO’s Aditya-L1, along with six U.S. satellites, played a critical role in analysing the May 2024 solar storm (Gannon’s Storm). 
• The study confirmed an unusual magnetic reconnection event, marking a major milestone in heliophysics. 

Solar Storms and CMEs 

• A solar storm is caused by multiple Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs)—massive bubbles of hot plasma and magnetic fields released from the Sun. 
• When CMEs reach Earth, they can disrupt: 
• Satellites 
• Communication networks 
• GPS navigation 
• Power grids 
• Aviation operations 
• CMEs carry intense magnetic energy that interacts with Earth’s magnetosphere. 

Key Scientific Findings 

1. Magnetic Reconnection Event 

• In May 2024, multiple CMEs collided, compressing each other and causing: 
• Snapping and rejoining of magnetic field lines inside one CME. 
• This process is called magnetic reconnection. 

2. Impact of Reconnection 

• Led to a sudden reversal of magnetic polarity within the CME. 
• Increased magnetic energy → acceleration of charged particles. 
• Strengthened and intensified the solar storm. 
• The event confirmed a rare CME–CME interaction, offering new insights into space weather prediction. 

About Aditya-L1 

• India’s first space-based solar observatory mission. 
• Launch: September 2023, aboard PSLV-C57. 
• Orbit: Halo orbit around Lagrange Point L1 (~1.5 million km from Earth). 
• Provides uninterrupted view of the Sun. 
• No occultation or eclipses. 

Payloads (7 instruments) 

• Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) 
• Solar Low Energy X-ray Spectrometer (SoLEXS) 
• Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) 
• Plasma Analyser Package for Aditya (PAPA) 
• High Energy L1 Orbiting X-ray Spectrometer (HEL1OS) 
• Magnetometer 
• Aditya Solar Wind Particle Experiment (ASPEX) 

Mission Objectives 

• Study of solar corona, solar wind, CMEs, photosphere, and chromosphere. 
• Early warning capability for space weather events. 

New U.S. National Security Strategy (NSS) – MAGA as Core Agenda 

The United States has released its new National Security Strategy (NSS) centred on “Make America Great Again (MAGA)”, marking a deep departure from earlier liberal-internationalist doctrines. 

Central Themes of the New NSS 

• Anchored in economic nationalism and protection of sovereignty. 
• Focus on homeland defence, self-reliance, and pursuit of core national interests. 
• Represents a shift away from alliances, trade liberalisation, multilateralism, and the rules-based order promoted by earlier administrations. 

Key Shifts in the Strategy 

1. Regional Priorities: Western Hemisphere First 

• Reasserts the Monroe Doctrine (1823), emphasising non-interference of external powers in the Western Hemisphere. 
• Aims to restore America’s pre-eminence in Latin America and the Caribbean. 

2. Great Power Dynamics 

• Avoids branding Russia and China as “existential threats.” 
• Indicates a shift towards selective competition instead of blanket confrontation. 

3. Ideological Shift – Civilizational Pluralism 

• Moves away from democracy-promotion and value-driven foreign policy. 
• Commits to non-interference in other states’ internal political systems. 
• Marks end of U.S. liberal interventionist philosophy. 

4. Asia & Indo-Pacific 

• Asia remains central to America’s long-term security. 
• Reaffirms commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific, preventing dominance by any single power. 

Key Implications for India 

1. Improved Strategic & Commercial Engagement 

• NSS explicitly mentions strengthening ties with India for Indo-Pacific stability. 
• Mentions cooperation through QUAD (India–USA–Japan–Australia). 

2. Greater Space for India’s Strategic Autonomy 

• U.S. shift from value-based diplomacy allows India to maintain independent foreign policy choices. 
• Reduces pressure on India regarding democracy, human rights discourse. 

3. Geopolitical Relief & Potential Irritants 

• Possible U.S.–Russia détente benefits India’s long-standing partnership with Moscow. 
• However, references to U.S. mediation in India–Pakistan relations remain diplomatically sensitive and unwelcome for India. 

Substance Use Among School-Going Adolescents in India 

A recent study published in the National Medical Journal of India reveals rising early experimentation with drugs among schoolchildren in India, with initiation occurring as early as 11 years of age. 

Key Findings 

1. Early Initiation 

• Average age of initiation: 12.9 years. 
• Youngest initiation: Inhalants at 11.3 years, indicating alarming accessibility and curiosity. 

2. Prevalence 

• Lifetime use: 15.1% of students reported using a psychoactive substance at least once. 
• Past-year use: 10.3% reported use in the last year. 

Causes of Drug Abuse Among Schoolchildren 

1. Social Media Influence 

• Glamorisation of substance use through influencers and peers. 
• Online trends create normalisation of experimentation. 

2. Deficit Parenting 

• Low supervision, emotional neglect, and inconsistent discipline weaken protective boundaries. 
• Family conflicts and broken households increase vulnerability. 

3. Mental Health Issues 

• Conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, impulsivity, and conduct problems correlate strongly with early drug use. 

Way Forward 

1. Early Prevention & Awareness 

• Introduce school-based preventive education and life-skills training. 
• Encourage peer-support groups and child-friendly sensitisation modules. 

2. Parental Vigilance & Community Monitoring 

• Strengthen digital supervision and involve local communities to restrict substance access. 
• Encourage active parent–teacher collaboration. 

3. Strict Law Enforcement 

• Zero-tolerance approach around school zones. 
• Fast-track action against drug peddlers under child-protection and NDPS laws. 

4. Counselling & Rehabilitation 

• Provide psychological counselling, therapy, and accessible de-addiction services for children. 
• Strengthen school mental-health frameworks and early screening. 

Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES) – CoP20 

The 20th Conference of Parties (CoP20) to CITES was held in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. 

Major Outcomes of CoP20 

• 77 species added to CITES Appendices. 
• Includes oceanic whitetip shark, whale shark, and several other marine/endangered species. 
• Many were placed in Appendix I, offering the highest protection (ban on international commercial trade). 
• India's Key Intervention 
• India opposed the European Union’s proposal to list Guggul (Commiphora wightii) in Appendix II. 
• Argument: Need for comprehensive population studies and data-backed assessments before imposing trade controls. 

About CITES 

• Nature: An international legally binding agreement that regulates global trade in wild fauna and flora to ensure it does not threaten their survival. 
• Legal Character: Legally binding but does not replace national laws; countries must implement domestic legislation for enforcement. 
• Appendices: 
• Appendix I: Species threatened with extinction; commercial trade prohibited. 
• Appendix II: Species not yet endangered but may become so without regulation; controlled trade. 
• Appendix III: Species protected in at least one country that seeks cooperation from other Parties. 
• Came into force: July 1, 1975 
• Number of Parties: 185 (including India) 

Blue Notice – Interpol 

The CBI is coordinating with Interpol to issue Blue Notices against accused individuals to prevent their escape to other jurisdictions. 

Blue Notice – What It Is 

• Purpose: To collect additional information about a person’s identity, location, or activities. 
• Used when a person is of investigative interest but not yet proven guilty. 

Other Important Interpol Notices 

1. Red Notice 

• Seeks the location and arrest of wanted persons. 
• Used for extradition, prosecution, or serving a sentence. 

2. Yellow Notice 

• Helps locate missing persons, especially children. 
• Also used to identify persons unable to identify themselves (e.g., minors, mentally unstable individuals). 

3. Orange Notice 

• Warns member states about serious and imminent threats from dangerous persons, weapons, explosives, hazardous materials 

4. Green Notice 

• Issues warnings about a person’s criminal activities. 
• Used when erson poses a possible threat to public safety, though less severe than Red Notice situations.
