The Dorjilung Hydroelectric Power Project, recently seen in the news, is located in which country?
Correct
Answer: b
Explanation:
Tata Power Company Ltd recently said it has signed commercial agreements with Druk Green Power Corporation Ltd (DGPC) for the development of the 1,125 MW Dorjilung hydroelectric power project in Bhutan.
About Dorjilung Hydroelectric Power Project:
It is a planned 1125 MW run-of-river project situated in the eastern Lhuentse and Mongar Districts of Bhutan on the Kurichhu River, a tributary of the Drangmechhu that flows into India.
At a height of approximately 139.5 m, the concrete-gravity dam channels nearly 287 m3/s through a 15 km headrace tunnel to an underground powerhouse housing six Francis turbines, designed to generate around 4.5 terawatt-hours (TWh) annually.
At a total project cost of ₹13,100 crore, Dorjilung will be Bhutan’s second-largest hydropower project, and the largest Public–Private Partnership (PPP) hydro project ever undertaken in the country.
The project is financed by the World Bank.
In November 2024, Bhutan’s Druk Green Power Corporation (DGPC) signed an MoU with Tata Power Company Limited for the joint development of the project.
The Project will be implemented through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), with DGPC and Tata Power holding equity shares of 60% and 40%, respectively.
The project is expected to be commissioned by early 2032.

Correct
Answer: c
Explanation:
In a fresh move to tackle algal blooms, persistent foul odour and declining water quality in Hussainsagar lake, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) proposes to introduce an advanced bioremediation process using enzyme solutions and biochar-based Bokashi balls.
About Hussain Sagar Lake:
It is an artificial lake located in Hyderabad, Telangana.
It is also called Tank Bund and lies on a tributary of River Musi.
It spreads across an area of 5.7 sq.km. It is one of the largest man-made lakes in Asia.
It is the largest heart-shaped mark among the marks formed by 78 heart-shaped lakes and 9 heart-shaped islands on the face of the earth.

It is renowned for its monolith of Lord Buddha that stands right in its centre.
It had been of significance in the early days since it connected the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad.
Till 1930, the lake was used for irrigation and drinking water requirements.
Over the years, Hussain Sagar Lake has become polluted through the entry of untreated sewage and industrial effluents through the nalas that flow into the lake.

It is a small nonvascular spore-bearing land plant found in damp and shady spots.
It helps in soil erosion control by providing surface cover and absorbing water.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: c
Explanation:
Recently, a team of scientists has found that moss can survive a prolonged trip to space.
It is small nonvascular spore-bearing land plant belongs to the taxonomic division Bryophyta.
Mosses existed as early as the Permian Period and more than 100 species have been identified from fossils of the Paleogene and Neogene periods.
It is among the earliest land plants and has colonised some of the harshest environments on the planet, including Antarctica, volcanic fields, and deserts.
Types of Moss: Of the 10,000 and more types of mosses on the planet, there are three main types: peat moss, granite moss and true moss.
Distribution: Mosses are distributed throughout the world except in salt water.
Habitat: It is the small plant commonly found in damp, shady spots is already known for its resilience on Earth.
Moss reproduces through spores, which are the equivalent to a flowering plant’s seed.
Ecological Significance:
Ecologically, mosses break down exposed substrata, releasing nutrients for the use of more-complex plants that succeed them.
They also aid in soil erosion control by providing surface cover and absorbing water.
They are important in the nutrient and water economy of some vegetation types.
Mosses can be effective indicators of c02 emissions that pollute the air. They can also signal if an ecosystem has been damaged or harmed by acid rain.

Production Centers: Over three-fourths of India’s limestone is produced in just six states: Andhra Pradesh & Telangana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka.
Uses of Limestone:
The principal use of limestone is in the Cement Industry.
Metallurgical Processes: It is used as a flux in iron and steel production.
Other Industries: Glass, Ceramic, Paper, Textile, and Tanning
Chemical Production: Calcium carbide, alkali, bleaching powder
Agriculture: It is used as soil conditioning agent and in fertilizer (calcium ammonium nitrate)
Consumer Products: Whiting (chalk and precipitated limestone) in rubber, paint, cosmetics, toothpaste, and shoe polish
