Sawalkot Hydro Power Project and Indus Water Treaty

The Cabinet has approved the Sawalkot Hydro Power Project, slated for development on the Chenab River in the Ramban district of Jammu and Kashmir. This project aims to produce 1856 MW of hydroelectricity, contributing to additional power generation in the region.

This initiative is significant in the context of the Indus Water Treaty (1960), a water-distribution agreement between India and Pakistan, brokered by the World Bank. 

The treaty established an 80:20 water distribution ratio, primarily allocating the waters of the Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab rivers (Western Rivers) to Pakistan, while Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej rivers (Eastern Rivers) were allocated to India. Despite the Chenab's allocation to Pakistan, the Sawalkot project demonstrates India's strategic utilization of water resources within its territory.

The Chenab River already hosts major infrastructure, including the World's Highest Arch Bridge and existing dams like Ratal Dam, Salal Dam, Baglihar Dam, and Dulhasti Dam.

Black Swan Summit India 2026

This includes integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into new applications and creating platforms that support all 22 official languages of India.

Headed by President Droupadi Murmu, the summit primarily focused on FinTech (Finance + Technology) and was organized to advance the Bharat Netra Initiative. The two-day event, held on February 5th and 6th, also saw the Odisha government announce ambitious targets: creating 10 million jobs for youth by 2027 and growing the state's economy to $500 billion by 2036.

Sharda River Corridor Project in Uttarakhand

The Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Pushkar Singh Dhami, has announced the Sharda River Corridor Project in the Champawat district. With a budget of ₹330 crores, this project aims to promote tourism and generate employment. A key feature will be the development of a Sharda Ghat, conceptualized on the lines of Varanasi's ghats. Water for the corridor will be drawn from the Sharda Canal, originally built in 1930. The project is being developed in the Tanakpur region of Uttarakhand and aims to connect tourist sites like Devidhura and Bageshwar Dham.

The Sharda River, known as the Kali River in Nepal where it originates, becomes the Sharda River upon entering India. It forms a natural border between India and Nepal and flows past the Nanda Devi region in Uttarakhand. Major tributaries include the Saryu River, Dhauli Ganga, and Gori Ganga. The Sharda and Saryu rivers eventually merge with the Ganga river system. This corridor contributes to the region's broader tourism appeal, which includes the significant Choti Char Dham Yatra pilgrimage circuit (Yamunotri, Ganges, Kedarnath, Badrinath).

Japanese General Election Results

Japan's recent general election saw a decisive victory for incumbent Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and her ruling coalition. Elections were held for the House of Representatives, part of Japan's Parliament, known as the Diet. With 465 seats, a minimum of 233 seats is needed for a majority. The coalition, comprising the Liberal Democratic Party (led by PM Sanae Takaichi) and the Japan Innovation Party, secured over 400 seats.

Geographically, Japan consists of main islands from north to south: Hokkaido, Honshu (Largest), Shikoku, and Kyushu. It is situated in the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean, located between the Sea of Japan (East Sea) and the Pacific Ocean. A key geographical feature is Mount Fuji, standing at 3,776 meters.
