Deep, multi-dimensional analysis for UPSC Mains preparation
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming India's national security architecture, diplomatic functioning, and public administration, creating both unprecedented opportunities and serious governance dilemmas. The IndiaAI Mission (March 2024) with a ₹10,371 crore outlay marks India's strategic bet on becoming an AI-first nation, with seven pillars including compute, datasets, and safe & trusted AI.
On 21 November 2025, India brought into force four labour codes that consolidate 29 central labour laws into a unified framework on wages, industrial relations, social security, and occupational safety; final rules were notified by 9 May 2026, completing operationalisation. The reform extends statutory minimum wages and social security to gig and platform workers for the first time, with aggregator contributions of 1–2% of annual turnover, capped at 5% of payments to workers.
The Editorials section provides in-depth, multi-dimensional analysis of important current affairs issues for UPSC Mains and other competitive exams. Each editorial goes beyond the news to examine an issue from constitutional, economic, social, international and ethical angles — with data, committee views, case studies and ready-to-use Mains answer frameworks.
Editorial analysis takes a significant issue — a policy debate, a landmark judgment, an economic or social question — and analyses it in depth from multiple perspectives, rather than just reporting what happened. For UPSC Mains, this multi-dimensional, evidence-based treatment is exactly what answer-writing requires.
Read editorials to build perspective and collect arguments, data points and examples you can use in answers. Note the for-and-against arguments, relevant committees and judgments, and the way forward. Our editorials include a Mains answer framework and probable questions so you can practise structuring answers.
Editorials are in-depth analytical pieces that examine an important issue from multiple dimensions — constitutional, economic, social, international and ethical — with data and balanced arguments, written for exam answer-writing.
They provide the perspectives, data, arguments and frameworks needed to write high-quality Mains answers, going well beyond surface-level news.
Editorials cover polity, economy, international relations, environment, science & technology, social issues, security and ethics — the areas tested in the GS Mains papers.
