1.GST Overhaul Discussions

The
Union Home Minister of India, Amit Shah, has recently taken charge of
initiating talks with all stakeholders to expedite reforms in the Goods and
Services Tax (GST) regime. This move aims to build consensus on several
contentious issues, including the proposal to eliminate the 12 per cent GST
slab. The discussions involve both the Central ministries and state
governments, reflecting the complexity and political sensitivity of the tax
structure overhaul.

2.Health Ministry Launches Snack
Nutrition Awareness Campaign

The
Indian Health Ministry has initiated a campaign to display nutritional
information about popular snacks. This move aims to raise awareness about
hidden sugars, oils, and trans fats in everyday foods. The campaign targets
reducing lifestyle diseases linked to unhealthy diets.

Recent Initiative and Pilot Project

The
campaign began with a pilot at AIIMS Nagpur. Calorie count posters now appear
beside popular food stalls. These posters detail sugar, fat, and trans-fat
content. They also warn about long-term health risks from frequent consumption.
The goal is to encourage moderation rather than complete avoidance. The
campaign will expand to other cities soon.

3.India’s Path to 70% Round-The-Clock
Clean Electricity

India
is set to achieve 70% round-the-clock (RTC) clean electricity for commercial
and industrial consumers by 2030. This strategy promises lower costs than
traditional annual clean energy procurement. A recent report by Transition Zero,
global climate analytics non-profit, marks the potential benefits of deploying
52 GW of RTC clean electricity capacity. This would meet 5% of India’s
projected national electricity demand and save up to ₹9,000 crore ($1 billion)
annually for the grid.
