The Current Affairs questions are based on sources like ‘The Hindu’, ‘Indian Express’ and ‘PIB’, which are very important sources for UPSC Prelims Exam. The questions are focused on both the concepts and facts. The topics covered here are generally different from what is being covered under ‘Daily Current Affairs/Daily News Analysis (DNA) and Daily Static Quiz’ to avoid duplication. The questions would be published from Monday to Saturday before 2 PM. One should not spend more than 10 minutes on this initiative.

Question 1 of 5
1. Question
‘Index of Industrial Production (IIP)’ is released by
Correct
Solution(b)
The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) is a composite indicator that measures the short-term changes in the volume of production of a basket of industrial products during a given period with respect to that in a chosen base period. In India, the first official attempt to compute the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) was made much earlier than the first recommendation on the subject came at the international level. With the inception of the Central Statistical Organization (now known as National Statistics Office (NSO)) in 1951, the responsibility for compilation and publication of IIP was vested with it.
Context – IIP for the month of May was recently released.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
With reference to ‘Bail’, consider the following statements
- The Code of Criminal Procedure defines the terms bailable offence and non-bailable offence
- Non-bailable offences are non-cognisable which enables the police officer to arrest without a warrant
- A Bailable offence is defined as an offence which is shown as bailable in the First Schedule of the Code
Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution(c)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Correct The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 does not define bail, although the terms bailable offence and non-bailable offence have been defined in section 2(a) of the Code. Non-bailable offences are cognisable, which enables the police officer to arrest without a warrant. In such cases, a magistrate would determine if the accused is fit to be released on bail. A Bailable offence is defined as an offence which is shown as bailable in the First Schedule of the Code or which is made bailable by any other law, and non-bailable offence means any other offence. Context – Supreme Court underlined the need for reform in the law related to bail and called on the government to consider framing a special legislation

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements Regarding James Webb Space Telescope(JWST)
- It is a joint collaboration between NASA, ESA(European Space Agency)and CSA(Canadian space agency)
- The JWST will observe mainly in the ultraviolet and visible part of the spectrum
- JWST operates in a halo orbit circling around a point in space known as the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point.
Select the correct statement/s:
Correct
Solution (c)
Statement analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Correct It is a joint collaboration between NASA ESA(European Space Agency)and CSA(Canadian space agency). JWST was launched in December 2021 on an Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou, French Guiana. Unlike Hubble, which observes in the near ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared (0.1–1.7 μm) spectra, JWST will observe in a lower frequency range, from long-wavelength visible light (red) through mid-infrared (0.6–28.3 μm). JWST operates in a halo orbit, circling around a point in space known as the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point, approximately 1,500,000 km (930,000 mi) beyond Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Context: NASA recently shared photos taken by JWST

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Consider the following statements regarding Hydrogen fuel:
- Green Hydrogen is generated by renewable energy or from low-carbon power
- It is easier and less expensive to store Hydrogen since Hydrogen is lighter than air
Select the correct statement/s:
Correct
Solution (a)
Statement analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Correct Incorrect Green hydrogen is hydrogen generated by renewable energy or from low-carbon power. Green hydrogen has significantly lower carbon emissions than grey hydrogen, which is produced by steam reforming of natural gas, which makes up the bulk of the hydrogen market Hydrogen is difficult to store due to its low volumetric energy density. It is the lightest of and simplest of all elements, being lighter than helium, and so is easily lost into the atmosphere. Hydrogen is very hard to move around. When talking about hydrogen, just moving even small amounts is a very expensive matter. For that reason alone, the transport and storage of such a substance is deemed impractical Context: IISC team Develops technology to produce hydrogen from biomass
