Show answer & explanation
Answer: D
All six areas are included in the TEC-IIT Kanpur collaboration. The Telecommunication Engineering Centre, or TEC, is described in the source as the technical arm of the Department of Telecommunications under the Government of India. TEC signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur to collaborate on joint studies, research and technical contributions relating to advanced telecommunications and global standardisation. The scope is deliberately broad because modern telecom systems combine terrestrial networks, satellite systems, artificial intelligence, advanced radio technologies and connected-device ecosystems. The first major area is 6G research, including exploration of 6G architecture and technologies. The collaboration is expected to contribute to global standardisation forums such as 3GPP and the International Telecommunication Union, or ITU. A second area involves existing and evolving telecom networks including 4G, 5G, LTE-Advanced and NB-IoT, particularly architecture and interoperability. Third, the partners will research AI and machine learning applications for network automation and optimisation, with movement toward AI-native capabilities. Fourth, advanced radio and antenna technologies are covered, including advanced antennas and massive MIMO. Fifth, satellite communications are included, particularly Non-Terrestrial Networks or NTNs and disaster-resilient connectivity. This is important because satellite networks can complement terrestrial infrastructure, especially in difficult terrain or emergencies. Sixth, the MoU includes IoT ecosystems, digital twin technologies and immersive communication platforms. TEC's broader institutional role includes setting telecom standards and ensuring interoperability. Therefore, every area listed in the question is explicitly supported by the PDF. Students should particularly remember the connection between TEC, DoT, IIT Kanpur, 6G research, 3GPP, ITU, AI-native networks, massive MIMO, NTN and Digital Twins.

Show answer & explanation
Answer: D
All five statements are correct. The Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare and the Department of Posts signed an MoU to establish a nationwide logistics mechanism for transporting pesticide, seed and fertiliser samples. The agreement was signed in New Delhi in the presence of Union Ministers Jyotiraditya M. Scindia and Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The initiative supports the PAN-India Online Pesticide, Seed and Fertiliser Quality Management System associated with the Centre for Research and Industrial Staff Performance, or CRISP. India Post has been assigned an important operational role because its logistics network can provide secure, traceable and timely transportation of agricultural samples. The system includes designated booking points and specialised handling arrangements. Digital tracking through QR codes will be used to maintain confidentiality and traceability. This is especially important for regulatory samples because authorities must be able to establish the chain of custody and identify the movement of a sample from collection to testing. Sensitive agricultural samples may also require appropriate temperature conditions, and the source states that these conditions will be digitally monitored. One of the most significant numerical facts is the intended reduction in testing delays. The initiative seeks to reduce delays from approximately 10-15 days to only 48-72 hours. Faster sample movement and testing can help regulators identify fake or substandard pesticides, seeds and fertilisers more quickly. The broader objectives are to strengthen regulatory oversight, improve quality assurance and protect farmers from financial losses caused by spurious agricultural products. Thus, the MoU combines India Post's logistics capabilities with agricultural quality-control mechanisms and digital traceability. For exams, remember the three categories of samples: pesticide, seed and fertiliser; technology: QR tracking and digital temperature monitoring; and target turnaround: 48-72 hours.
QUESTION 123WaveX signed an agreement with which institution to accelerate entrepreneurship in media technology?
Media technology entrepreneurship को accelerate करने के लिए WaveX ने किस institution के साथ agreement sign किया?A. Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer, IIT DelhiB. Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, IIT BombayC. IIT Madras Research ParkD. Foundation for Innovation and Research in Science and Technology, IIT Kanpur
Show answer & explanation
Answer: A
The correct answer is the Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer, or FITT, at IIT Delhi. WaveX is described in the source as a startup accelerator initiative under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. It signed an agreement with FITT-IIT Delhi to strengthen innovation, incubation and entrepreneurship in media, entertainment, broadcasting and communication technologies. This makes the initiative particularly relevant because technological change is transforming content creation, broadcasting, digital media and communication systems. WaveX is envisioned as a national catalyst for innovation in the media and entertainment technology ecosystem. Under the collaboration, FITT at IIT Delhi will support implementation and expansion of the WaveX Programme. The broader national initiative seeks to establish and strengthen incubation centres across India so that startups and innovators can receive institutional support. IIT Delhi's role goes beyond simply providing physical incubation space. According to the PDF, it will provide strategic and operational guidance for setting up incubators, facilitate engagement with other Indian Institutes of Technology and innovation hubs, and support capacity-building activities for startups and incubation managers. WaveX, on the other hand, will provide financial support, policy guidance and national visibility for the programme. Thus, the partnership combines the technological and incubation expertise of IIT Delhi with the policy reach and institutional support of an initiative under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. For examination purposes, remember the association clearly: WaveX → Ministry of Information and Broadcasting; agreement partner → FITT, IIT Delhi; objective → media technology entrepreneurship; focus sectors → media, entertainment, broadcasting and communication technologies; FITT role → implementation, incubator guidance and capacity building; WaveX role → finance, policy guidance and national visibility.
QUESTION 124Under the MoU signed between the Government of Delhi and the Reserve Bank of India, which institution will function as the banker, debt manager and financial agent of the Government of Delhi?
Government of Delhi और Reserve Bank of India के बीच signed MoU के तहत Delhi Government के banker, debt manager और financial agent के रूप में कौन कार्य करेगा?A. Reserve Bank of IndiaB. State Bank of IndiaC. Ministry of FinanceD. National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development
Show answer & explanation
Answer: A
The correct answer is the Reserve Bank of India. According to the February 2026 Current Affairs PDF, the Government of Delhi signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Reserve Bank of India that brought Delhi under the central bank's full banking, cash-management and debt-management framework for the first time. Under this arrangement, RBI will function as the banker, debt manager and financial agent of the Government of Delhi. These three functions are important to understand separately. As banker, RBI can support the government's banking and cash-management requirements. As debt manager, it can facilitate the management of government borrowings. As financial agent, it can perform financial operations on behalf of the government within the agreed framework. The MoU is also expected to facilitate Delhi Government's market borrowings through State Development Loans. State Development Loans are an important mechanism through which sub-national governments raise funds from the market. Another feature mentioned in the source is the automatic investment of surplus cash, which can support more professional treasury and liquidity management. The Delhi Government will also gain access to professional cash-management arrangements and low-cost liquidity facilities. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta described the development as a historic correction in Delhi's financial governance. The source connects the agreement with objectives such as fiscal discipline, transparency and long-term financial sustainability. For competitive examinations, the most important factual relationship is straightforward: Delhi Government signed the MoU with RBI, and RBI will now serve as its banker, debt manager and financial agent. The agreement also connects Delhi to RBI's framework for cash management, debt management, State Development Loans and liquidity management.

4. प्रत्येक joint venture एक Indian-flagged Very Large Ethane Carrier own और operate करेगा।
5. ये vessels United States से ethane transport करेंगे।
उपर्युक्त में से कौन-से कथन सही हैं?A. 1, 2 and 3 onlyB. 1, 3, 4 and 5 onlyC. 2, 3, 4 and 5 onlyD. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
Show answer & explanation
Answer: D
All five statements are correct. Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, or ONGC, entered into a strategic partnership with Japan's Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, commonly abbreviated as MOL, with the objective of strengthening specialised energy transportation capabilities. Under the arrangement, ONGC will invest in two joint venture companies: Bharat Ethane One IFSC Private Limited and Bharat Ethane Two IFSC Private Limited. Both companies are registered at GIFT City in Gandhinagar. The ownership structure is equally important from an examination perspective. ONGC will acquire 200,000 equity shares with a face value of ₹100 each in both entities, giving it a 50% ownership stake in each company. Mitsui O.S.K. Lines will hold the remaining 50%. Each of the two joint ventures will own and operate one Indian-flagged Very Large Ethane Carrier, generally abbreviated as VLEC. These specialised vessels will transport ethane from the United States. The imported ethane will be used to meet the feedstock requirements of ONGC Petroadditions Limited, or OPaL, which is a subsidiary of ONGC. Thus, the arrangement is not merely a shipping investment; it connects maritime transportation with the feedstock requirements of ONGC's downstream operations. The source also places the initiative within a broader policy framework. It states that the project is supported by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas and DIPAM under the Ministry of Finance. Furthermore, it aligns with the Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047. For exams, remember the chain: ONGC + MOL → two GIFT City JVs → 50:50 ownership → two Indian-flagged VLECs → ethane from the United States → feedstock for OPaL.
QUESTION 126The Department of Posts signed an MoU with SIDBI primarily for which of the following purposes?
Department of Posts ने SIDBI के साथ मुख्य रूप से किस उद्देश्य के लिए MoU sign किया?A. Contact Point Verification of Informal Micro Enterprises registered on the Udyam Assist PlatformB. Providing direct agricultural loans through post officesC. Establishing export processing zones for MSMEsD. Creating a national digital currency platform for small businesses
Show answer & explanation
Answer: A
The correct answer is Contact Point Verification of Informal Micro Enterprises registered on the Udyam Assist Platform. The Department of Posts, which functions under the Ministry of Communications, and the Small Industries Development Bank of India or SIDBI signed a Memorandum of Understanding at Dak Bhawan in New Delhi. The purpose is to conduct Contact Point Verification, abbreviated as CPV, for Informal Micro Enterprises registered on the Udyam Assist Platform or UAP. The arrangement creates an institutional mechanism to improve verification, data integrity and credit enablement for informal micro enterprises throughout India. The Department of Posts has a major advantage in this task because of its enormous last-mile network. According to the source, it has more than 1.64 lakh post offices and a trained field workforce. This network can be used to verify demographic information, business information and location details. Importantly, the verification process will use geo-tagged evidence, which can improve the authenticity and reliability of enterprise information. SIDBI has a complementary role. It is identified as the nodal agency responsible for developing and administering the Udyam Assist Platform. A reliable verification mechanism can support the formalisation of informal micro enterprises and improve their access to institutional credit. This is significant because many very small businesses may operate outside formal credit networks and can face difficulties establishing verified business credentials. The initiative therefore links India's postal infrastructure with MSME formalisation and financial inclusion. For examination purposes, remember three associated facts from the source: the Department of Posts works under the Ministry of Communications; SIDBI was established on 2 April 1990; and SIDBI's headquarters is in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.

Show answer & explanation
Answer: D
All five statements are correct according to the February 2026 Current Affairs source. India and New Zealand concluded negotiations on the Financial Services Annex of their Free Trade Agreement on 22 December 2025. This is important because financial services are increasingly becoming an essential component of modern trade agreements. The Annex contains 18 articles and goes beyond conventional GATS commitments. Its coverage includes payments, financial technology or fintech, protection of data and various aspects of financial-service operations. One particularly significant feature is cooperation between India and New Zealand in electronic and real-time payment systems. Such cooperation can facilitate cross-border remittances and merchant payments. The source specifically mentions interoperability with India's Unified Payments Interface, commonly known as UPI, and systems associated with the National Payments Corporation of India or NPCI. Another major component concerns fintech and regulatory innovation. The two countries are expected to cooperate through Regulatory and Digital Sandboxes, which can provide controlled environments for testing innovative financial products and technologies. The Annex also addresses the sensitive issue of financial information. It seeks to protect data sovereignty and consumer privacy while permitting cross-border transfer of financial information under regulatory control. Market access is another important dimension. The source states that the framework supports non-discriminatory market access, back-office and financial services, higher FDI and permission for up to 15 bank branches in New Zealand over four years. Therefore, the Annex combines digital payments, fintech innovation, privacy, investment and market-access provisions, making all five statements in the question correct.
