0:50 like It houses India's largest naval base or it is located along the line of control or it connects India's northeast to the mainland or it is India's trade corridor with China. So we know that the Siliguri corridor that is very important corridor and has been in news since India and Pakistan started with a war kind of situation where operation Sindur initiated and after that there were hostilities between the two countries where one of the leader of or ex leader of Bangladesh said that uh we should acquire India through Siliguri corridor or chicken neck. So here comes the importance of the Siliguri corridor or chicken neck. Now it is uh the mainland uh it connects
1:37 the northeast to the mainland. If you can see the map of India. So uh from the northeastern region it is somewhat like this. Now this uh area just of 40 to 44 kilometer. This area is known as chicken neck or siliguri corridor. Okay, that connects this whole northeast to the mainland India. So that's why this is of very much importance. It is it connects the north India's northeast to the mainland as is the correct answer is this. It is a narrow 20 22 kilometer wide land strip in West Bengal that forms the only land link between rest of the country and uh northeastern states.
2:24 So any kind of disruption if uh takes place here. So it is going to isolate the northeast with the mainland. Now we have another question. Which development has recently raised a strategic concerns near the siliguri corridor? Bhutan's pact with Nepal revamp of lal moner hut air base in Bangladesh. China's withdrawal from dlam or India's ban on crossborder trade. So why this issue has been arised or why we are talking about siliguri corridor. So the reason is Bangladesh's revival of Lal Moner Hut air base. This Lal Moner Hut air base has been revived by Bangladesh and in this again the Chinese in uh assistance is there. It
3:10 has been alleged. So ultimately this increases uh India's security concerns. That's why we are discussing about the Siliguri corridor. Another one we have is what type of co court order was passed by Delhi High Court to protest Sudguru's personality rights. So they uh if you have read about this uh whole case so it has options like dynamic plus injection and John do order contempt notice stay order or bailable warrant. So regarding the Sguru's personality um order that has been passed. So the court passed dynamic plus injection that is a modern form of legal remedy which is aimed at addressing
3:55 ongoing and future digital misuse especially involving AI generated impersonalization whereas this John do order this was also issued and it was allowing legal restraint against unknown parties which are infringing upon sguru's voice image or the videos or name we can Okay.

So which ministry was taken into consideration or which ministry was directed for this? So the options are MH, MOD, MOPI, MEA, MOF,
4:42 NITIO or DOT or MITI. So the correct answer of this question is the department of telecommunications that is DOT and the ministry of electronics and information technology that is Matei. So these were ordered by the Delhi High Court to block or suspend the websites and social media accounts which are misusing Sguru's personality. So these uh ministers are responsible or these ministries are responsible for regulating the digital platforms and cyber law enforcement. Okay. So the correct answer of this question is DOT and METI. These were the ministries that the court guided to regulate the order. Now what was the industrial growth rate

According to the IIP data that has been released by MOS SPI so industrial growth in April 2025 slowed to 2.7% which marks an 8month low due to weak performance in mining, electricity and consumer non-variables. So the correct answer is 2.7%. And always keep yourself updated with the data because things keep on changing even month by month. So when we are
6:13 preparing always be updated with all of these datas and the current affairs. Now which sector experienced contraction in April 2025 according to IIP data manufacturing, capital goods, consumer durables or mining? Which sector experienced a contraction in April 2025? So this has been observed or this has been experienced by the mining sector. It's it contracted by 0.2%. Which is marking its first decline since August 2024 which attributes to the operational bottlenecks and the regulatory issues. So this was the reason that the mining activities have been hampered here. Shik Hassina and now we all know about
7:00 the civil war ongoing in Bangladesh. So here are some of the questions related to this. So Shikh Hassina has been charged by Bangladesh ICT for events linked to which of the following? For which re uh reason she hassa was charged here? for 1971 uh Bangladesh liberation war for April 2025 election interference for misuse of foreign aid funds in 2023 or for suppressing the studentled protest in 2024.

So she has been charged for this that uh she uh
7:45 allegedly violently cracked down on the students protest demanding who were demanding public sector reforms in July August 2024 which led to mass casualities and human rights violations. Okay. Now who became Bangladesh interim leader after she sh Hassina's resignation? So when Sheikh Hassa gave her resignation so who became Bangladesh interim leader?

So the first group of 17 female candidates they joined the NDA and that they joined in 2022 which marked the Supreme Court directive that allowed women to appear for the NDA. Okay. So the graduation they did in 2025 and uh ultimately the events keep on coming. Now what is the total installed capacity of Gautamur thermal power project in Uttar Pradesh? So in Uttar Pradesh there is this uh Gautamur thermal power project. You have to tell me what is the installed capacity of this project or of

So this uh G tempur thermal power project is designed as a superc critical thermal power facility which is consisting of three units. Okay. Each has a capacity of 660 megawatt. It has three units. Okay. Each has the capacity of 660 megawatt. So the total installed capacity is 1980 megawatt. And this project is a joint venture between NLC India Limited. Remember this NLC India Limited and the Uttar Pradesh Raji
10:53 Vidyut Uttadan Nigum Limited which aims at bolstering this power generation in the region. Clear? I hope so the questions are clear to you h and this is how you have to answer all of these questions. Now uh we have another question. Let's uh discuss this. That is our question number 13. Which of the following members of parliament was not among those nominated by Lok Sabha speaker Omaha to press council of India in May 2025.

Oh sorry huh I I I I mistined huh Shri Bjilal I mistaken this Shri Shri Kalicharan Nares Gpat and Samitpatra these are the nominated one whereas this Shri bridge lal they uh he was nominated by the
12:26 Rajya Sabha chairman not by the Lok Sabha speaker. So that's why the correct answer is option uh D it will be there Shri bridge Lal because Dr. Samit Patra Nares Gat Mask Kali Chan Munda these are the nominated one whereas Shri bridge lal was nominated by the Raja Sabha chairman. So I hope so this is clear to all of you. Now uh what percentage of power from Gautamur thermal power project has been allocated to Uttar Pradesh under the power purchase agreement.

13:58 loans intended for consumption purpose. Okay. So what is that RBI's draft guidelines? What should be the proposed loan to value ratio? 90%, 80%, 75% or 70%. So the correct answer is your option C that is 75%. Loan to value ratio at 75% for consumption related to gold loan including NBFCs. Okay. And uh this move is intended to reduce the risk exposure and ensure more responsible lending especially given the recent rise to def uh in defaults and NPS in the gold loan sector. So that is the reason that uh
14:44 why we have kept it as 75% the loan to value ratio. I hope so this is also clear. Now moving forward to another question. Okay. So, how much surplus did the RBI transfer to central government in 2024 fiscal year as per its annual report. So as per the annual report how much surplus RBI transfer to central government 2.69 lakh cr 2.0 lakh cr 1.5
