✅Gs-3 : Environment- Air Pollution
🅾️Background of the issue- Click here
🅾️Problem= Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM)-It has failed to act independently due to political pressures and lack of enforcement-CAQM banned sale of old diesel/petrol vehicles in NCR starting July 1, but after political protests, implementation was postponed to November.
🅾️The harvest-to-sowing window between paddy harvest and wheat sowing is only 15–20 days in Punjab and Haryana. Pusa decomposer needs 20–25 days under ideal conditions to fully break down stubble.
🅾️The decomposer works best in warm, moist conditions. October–November brings cooler, drier weather, slowing down microbial activity.Farmers already under debt pressure prefer the zero-cost burning method unless subsidies are guaranteed and timely.

🅾️The Sikh marriage registration issue reveals the fault lines of India’s plural legal system — fragmentary, identity-sensitive, but uneven in protecting rights. It shows why the UCC debate must move beyond uniformity to the deeper question of ensuring equality and dignity without erasing diversity.

✅Gs-2 : Health : Why are PHC (Primary Health Centre) doctors important?
🅾️In rural and tribal areas, PHC doctors are often the only accessible face of healthcare.
🅾️Population served: Each PHC caters to ~30,000 people in rural areas, ~70,000 in urban/semi-urban areas.
⚠️Issues :
⚜️1. High case load-A single PHC doctor may see over 100 patients daily.
⚜️2. Administrative Overload-Huge burden of registers,
⚜️3. Burnout and Neglect-WHO recognises burnout as an occupational health condition.
⚜️4. Mismatch of expectations vs support: State demands universal healthcare delivery. But doctors lack staff, infrastructure, or time.
🅾️Unless India invests in systems that support them, universal healthcare will remain a distant dream.
