⛳️The sale and purchase of government securities and treasury bills by RBI or the central bank of the country are known as open market operations.
⛳️The objective of open market operations is to regulate the money supply in the economy, and made available to businesses and consumers in the form of loans.
⛳️OMO is always carried out by the RBI through commercial banks and does not directly deal with the public.
⛳️It is undertaken by purchasing the government securities from the market and selling them to suck out liquidity from the system, in order to increase the money supply in the economy.
⛳️OMO is one of the tools that RBI uses to smoothen the liquidity conditions through the year and minimise its impact on the interest rate and inflation rate levels

Bottled Water- an Essential Commodity
What’s in News?
♻ Kerala govt. to bring packaged water under the Essential Commodities Act to regulate its price.
Background
♻ After receiving widespread complaints from the public about its exorbitant price (Rs.20/L), Kerala govt. has decided to include bottled water under the Essential Commodities Act.
♻ Earlier attempted price caps were not done due to protests from large scale bottled water manufacturers and traders. But it is now possible if it is an essential commodity.
♻ Govt. claims current prices amount to exploitation of consumers as manufacturers could afford to sell bottled water at much less.
♻ BIS standards will also be made mandatory for all brands of bottled water. This will stop unauthorised manufacturers.
Essential Commodities Act
♻ It also allows govt. to make regulations against illegal hoarding of a commodity (like food grains) and to control its supply in the market.
♻ The Act has been controversial due to claims that it caused the onion price crisis due to insufficient stocks.

💡Acumen Explained💡
How did Yes Bank fall into the crisis?
1⃣ It went on a loaning spree with advances rising by 334% between Financial Year 2014 and 2019
2⃣Many borrowers started defaulting The bank’s gross NPA percentage, that is the percentage of loans overdue for more than 90 days, zoomed to 7.39% as of September 2019, the highest among comparable banks.
3⃣While bad loans piled up, the bank did not make enough provisions in its profits. Its provisions were the lowest among comparable banks
4⃣Customers withdrew large amounts, resulting in the credit-deposit ratio crossing 100% in 2018-19. That is, it lent more than it received.
5⃣ Loan spree and high NPA meant poor profitability, gauged by Yes Bank’s sinking Return on Assets
6⃣The bank’s stock price fell steadily in the past year.
Acumen ias
7⃣The bank has also experienced serious governance issues and practices in the recent years which have led to steady decline of the bank
How will this impact customers?
1⃣ Amount deducted towards loan and premium payments will be impacted if it is higher than Rs. 50,000.
2⃣ It will have an impact on customers whose salary account is linked to Yes Bank
3⃣The possibility of renewing or granting loans and making investments by the bank will reduce.

What’s in News?
💢 The proposal to set up a major port at Vadhavan near Dahanu in Maharashtra has been approved by the Union Cabinet.
What are the features of the Vadhavan Port?
♻ The Vadhavan port will have a natural draft of about 20 meters close to the shore, making it possible for it to handle bigger vessels at the port.
♻ The Vadhavan Port will be based on the ‘land lord model’, which defines that the port operations would be carried out by private companies which will provide and maintain their own superstructure, including buildings and cargo-handling equipment at the terminals.
♻ A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) will be formed with Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) as the lead partner with equity participation equal to or more than 50% to implement the project.
♻ The entire cost of the project will be ₹65,545 crores.

What’s in News?
💥 An advisory about Yellow Rust in wheat crops was issued by the Punjab Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Department
What is Yellow Rust?
💢 Yellow rust, also known as the stripe rust, is a fungal disease affecting wheat crops which produces yellow-colored stripes parallel to the venation of each leaf blade.
💢 The disease has the ability to spread rapidly under congenial conditions and severely affects crop development by reducing photosynthesis and shriveling grain size.
💢 Yield is affected anywhere between 5-30% according to studies conducted by Bayer Crop Science.
Rain, dew and fog favour the disease’s development as the environmental conditions are conducive for the spore infection.
💢 It is one of the three major wheat rust diseases, along with stem rust of wheat and leaf rust.
💢 Yellow Rust is a major crop disease in the Northern Hill Zone and the North-Western Plain Zone of India.
💢 Its ability to spread easily during the onset of cool weather when wind conditions are favourable, coupled with last year’s untimely rains have contributed to Yellow rust posing a serious threat to this year’s harvest.

Yes we admit that you can mug up current affairs magazines and may even revise it multiple times. But Are you 100 % sure that even after multiple revision you make all questions correct from the same topics if asked?
No right?

Nowadays in Prelims subject wise question are too unpredictable, So you must change your strategy and ensure that you'll score maximum from current affairs. That's why we made Exclusive Current Affairs test for our students.

What is ‘mac-binding’, the condition specified for using the Internet in J&k ❓
✅After 7 months, the use of social media was allowed in J&k on March 3, with an order laying down the latest rules for the use of Internet in the UT
✅Among various conditions, the order, issued by the Principal Secretary, says Internet connectivity will be made available “with mac-binding”
Mac-binding ❓
🔥Every device has a Media Access Control (MAC) address, a hardware identification number that is unique to it. While accessing the Internet, every device is assigned an IP address.
🔥Mac-binding essentially means binding together the MAC and IP addresses, so that all requests from that IP address are served only by the computer having that particular MAC address.
🔥In effect, it means that if the IP address or the MAC address changes, the device can no longer access the Internet.
🔥 Also, monitoring authorities can trace the specific system from which a particular online activity was carried out.

💡Government in overdrive to install Smart Meters across States.
About Smart Electricity Meters
♻ A smart meter is a digital meter that replaces old analogue meters, which are used in homes to record electrical usage.
♻ These can transmit energy consumption information to the utility (as it is connected to the internet).
♻ National Electricity Policy, in 2005, had stated that the SERCs (State Electricity Regulatory Commissions) should encourage the use of pre-paid meters.
♻ Though called “prepaid” they will not have provision for prepayment, even though the will do an automatic reading of consumption by consumers and ensure disconnection in the event of default in payment of bills.

💡Scientists discovered the 1st animal to survive without oxygen
Henneguya salminicola🐾
✍ The tiny, less than 10-celled parasite Henneguya
salminicola lives in salmon muscle.
✍ As it evolved, this relative of jellyfish and corals, gave up breathing and consuming oxygen -or became anaerobic- to produce energy.
✍ The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell where oxygen is captured to make energy, so its absence indicated that the animal was not breathing oxygen. acumenias
✍It’s not yet clear to us how the parasite generates energy.
✍It may be drawing it from the surrounding fish cells, or it may have a different type of
respiration such as oxygen-free breathing, which typically characterises anaerobic non-
animal organisms.
✍ Its evolutionary process is the opposite of normal (going from complex multicellular to
simple single-celled structure).
✍ Living in an oxygen-free environment, it has shed unnecessary genes responsible for aerobic respiration and become even simpler.

♦️Chlamydomonas nivalis♦️
🔥What’s in News?
🌑Pictures taken from observation and research bases in Antarctica show that large patches of ice shelf
are covered with ‘red or watermelon snow’. Acumenias
🔥What is red snow?
🌑Red or watermelon snow, is a phenomenon caused by Chlamydomonas nivalis, a species of
green photosynthetic algae.
🌑The red coloration of the algae is derived from the secondary red carotenoid pigment
(astaxanthin) present in addition to chlorophyll. The alga is cryophilic (cold-loving) and thrives in freezing water.
🌑The phenomenon has been observed since ages and was even described by Aristotle over 2000 years ago. Acumenias
🌑At some points in the year, the algae make the snow appear green; at other times, sherbet pink or berry red as they have the ability to modify their pigmentation in order to adapt to changing seasons and environmental conditions. @acumenias
