PM announces plan for free online coaching for competitive exam aspirants

Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that the Union government is working towards providing **free online coaching** for students preparing for competitive examinations.[8] The announcement aims to reduce the financial burden on families, especially those from economically weaker sections.[8] The coaching will be delivered by some of India’s “best teachers,” according to the Prime Minister, indicating a focus on quality content.[8] This initiative aligns with broader efforts under Digital India and education reforms to expand access to learning resources. The plan, mentioned in his recent public address, is expected to leverage digital platforms and online content delivery. Though detailed guidelines, eligibility criteria, and timelines have not yet been formally notified, the policy direction has significant implications for coaching markets and student support systems.[8] The move could influence future scheme design under the Ministry of Education and potentially integrate with existing platforms like SWAYAM and DIKSHA (inference based on policy pattern). It is highly relevant for exam aspirants and may feature in questions on government initiatives in education.

Cauvery Water Management Authority directs Karnataka to release 6,000 cusecs to Tamil Nadu

The Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) has upheld a recommendation directing Karnataka to ensure a flow of **6,000 cusecs of water** per day to Tamil Nadu for 15 days.[8] This decision follows continued disagreements over water sharing and distress caused by deficient rainfall. The order places an obligation on Karnataka to release water from its reservoirs to meet Tamil Nadu’s irrigation and drinking water needs.[8] The directive reflects ongoing implementation of the Supreme Court and tribunal-based framework governing Cauvery allocations. The issue has strong political and economic implications in both states, especially for farmers dependent on Cauvery irrigation. Compliance and monitoring by CWMA will be critical in the coming weeks. The development is exam-relevant due to themes of inter-state water disputes, statutory authorities, and federalism.
