✅ India is rapidly urbanizing and is estimated to host 50 percent of its population in cities by 2050.
✅ India has 6 mega cities (population over 10 million) as per the 2011 Census: Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad.
📍Opportunities of Urbanisation :
✅ Diverse Employment Options
✅ Skill Enhancement Ecosystem
✅ Support for Entrepreneurship
✅ Technology-driven Growth
📍Challenges :
✅Unplanned Urbanization :According to Census 2011, approximately 24% of urban households live in slums, reflecting challenges in housing and urban infrastructure
✅Mismatch of Skills
✅Pressure on Resources : According to NFHS-5, 2019-21, over 40% of the urban population lacks access to adequate sanitation facilities
✅Vulnerability in Informal Jobs
✅Gender Disparities
✅Environmental Stress: According to a report by TERI, Urban centers contribute nearly 75% of India’s total greenhouse gas emissions.
📍Government initiatives :
✅Skill India Mission - Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY)
✅Smart Cities Mission - 100 smart cities

🔆Regionalism
✅Regionalism, a political ideology that focuses on the interests of a particular region or group of regions. Regionalism seeks to the political attributes associated with people’s love for their region, culture, language, etc, with a view to maintain their independent identity.
✅Further, Regionalism is a political movement that seeks to advance regional cause of development. As a process it plays role within the nation as well as at international level.
✅Both types of regionalism have different meanings and have positive as well as negative impact on society, polity, diplomacy, economy, security, culture, development, negotiations, etc.
✅The meaning of the term of regionalism at national level refers to a process in which sub-state factors become increasingly powerful.
✅Flence, Regionalism leads to amplifying a region’s influence and magnifying its political prowess through pacifistic ways such as devolution and decentralization as well as more aggressive means like separatism or even a struggle for independence. For example, demand for separate state as Telangana, Gorkha territorial Administration, Vidarbha region, Bundelkhand region in UP and even early demand for separate states on linguistic basis.
📍Iqbal Narain has identified three major types of regionalism in India.
✅Supra-State Regionalism: It is built around the issues of common interest in which group of states form a common political alliance, directed against either the similar alliance of other states or the union. It is issue specific. Dravidian movement in southern states is an example.
✅Inter State Regionalism: It is co-terminus with state boundaries and involves juxtaposing of on or more state identities against another or specific issues, which threaten their interest. River water in general and border dispute in particular are its manifestations. It is evident from conflict between Karnatka and Tamil Nadu over sharing of Cauvery water, or border dispute between Maharashtra and Karnataka.
✅Intra-State Regionalism: In this, a regional community is against the state in which they are situated. It aimed at assuring oneself of self-identity and selfdevelopment. E.g Khalistan movement.

🔆Space Docking Experiment (SPADEX):
✅It is one of ISRO's most significant steps towards developing autonomous docking technology.
✅The mission involves two vehicles—‘Chaser’ and the ‘Target’—coming together and connecting in space.
✅Docking systems allow two spacecraft to connect in orbit, enabling critical operations like assembling space stations, refueling, or transferring astronauts and cargo.
✅It will also test how well the combined spacecraft maintains stability and control after docking, ensuring smooth operations for future missions.
✅India’s SPADEX experiment is unique because it focuses on developing indigenous, scalable, and cost-effective docking technology.
✅This experiment involves two spacecraft docking autonomously in orbit, demonstrating precision, navigation, and control capabilities critical for future missions.
✅Significance: It is key to achieving India's long-term space exploration goals, including manned spaceflight, satellite maintenance, and future space station construction.
