Good morning, greetings, Jai Shri Krishna, Radhe Radhe. How are you all, friends? Hope you are all doing great, healthy, and busy with your studies. So, quickly join the session, and once, friends, share the session vigorously, send it to your friends, and definitely send it to the groups. Friends, take out your notebooks and pens because if you want to earn notes, you have to make notes. Stop writing, stop learning. Stop learning, stop earning. And there is no earning without learning.
Friends, today is May 1st. Today is Maharashtra Day. Today is Gujarat Day, and today, friends, is also Labor Day and May Day. So, friends, we are starting a wonderful month. The beginning of May 1st is a class that guarantees the highest attempt. Friends, with a completely new thumbnail, we have started anew from today. Many new initiatives have also been taken, friends. So, you all tell us how those new initiatives are and how you like this thumbnail.
Friends, this class is India's only class that gives you a written guarantee of the highest attempt and proves it that no one has been able to attempt more than Piyush Sir's students, nor will anyone be able to attempt more in any future exam, nor do they. They are helpless. So, friends, our students always go above the crowd due to their research-based content.
Friends, the PDF of this class is available on the GA by Piyush Sir app, which you can download from the Google Play Store. You can also attend classes from your laptop through the GA by Piyush Sir website. Friends, this is my WhatsApp channel. For those who don't understand that sir, WhatsApp notifications are not coming, they should join my WhatsApp channel. I send the link to every class here, and you will get a direct notification through WhatsApp. Just keep the bell on in it. The link for this is also given in the description, friends.

Similarly, on Instagram, you can follow me on Instagram by searching for @G/PUS. All social media platform links are given here.
Friends, last month, something happened that our main channel was deleted due to copyright. So, I created two more channels as a backup. And to engage both those channels, friends, I have started taking weekly current affairs classes on this weekly channel. I have started taking the Best 200 class on this. Friends, when you reach the main channel, you will find playlists of everyone on the home page. Playlists of new channels and old channels, all classes, all playlists will be found on its home page. The links to all three channels are also in the description, and they will also be given in the offline comments.
If you reach GA by Piyush Sir, you will find a URL at the end, after youtube.com, it will say GA by Piyush Sir, GA by Piyush Sir. If you add GK to this, friends, the weekly one will open automatically. If you are doing it from a laptop, this URL will appear. Add GK to this, and this channel will open. If you add 200 to this, this Best 200 Six Month Current Affairs channel will open automatically. So, you should also know how to move directly. This is the Best 200 Six Month Current Affairs class, friends, in which we are currently finishing March. After this, we will start the April monthly in a day or two.
So, friends, this is a revision class for six-month current affairs, where we revise the past month's current affairs monthly so that it can be recalled. Because, friends, revising news is very important. That's why we also have a weekly revision rapid fire on Sundays. These two have separate channels.
Friends, what happens on the GA by Piyush Sir app and website? Our paid class runs here, friends, the Guru Mantra 3.0 batch, which is also known as the Banking Foundation Batch or the Tortoise Batch or Turtle Batch. In this, we have this mega batch, friends, in which we do banking awareness for two days and advanced current affairs for three days. Keeping in mind all these examinations like RBI Grade B, RBI Assistant, and UP Cooperative Bank, it is called RBI Circular. That is, two days of basic banking class and three days of advanced banking class, in which your banking knowledge is upgraded. RBI circulars give you 10 to 20 marks, so that current affairs are filtered and taught there, and the concepts are strengthened in depth.
If you have any problem purchasing any batch, you can WhatsApp at 8299287812. The code is, friends. If you don't understand on WhatsApp, you can also call. Your coupon code is Piyush, on which you get a 50% discount. So, this batch of 499 becomes yours. Last year, in Guru 2.0, friends, we helped qualify for more than 10 examinations. You did not have to buy anything separately from just one batch. Interviews were also included, and everything was provided in it.
Friends, let's talk about today's The Hindu newspaper. We read The Hindu newspaper the fastest and first, friends, which comes at 5 AM on May 1st, Friday. And you don't have to read all 20 pages; I tell you the important news. So, friends, Rajnath Singh Ji went to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting. There, friends, he said that Pakistan is the epicenter of terrorism. After that, friends, there was a lot of uproar yesterday in Bengal where EVMs were kept. So, there was a lot of trouble where the EVMs were kept. Supporters of Mamata Banerjee and supporters of BJP gathered there. So, the head of the Election Commission of India, Gyanesh Kumar, has decided to create a QR code-based identity card for access to the counting center. Only authorized personnel on ECI Net will be able to go, and they will be checked by scanning with QR to see if they are authorized or not. ECI Net has created a mega app by integrating more than 40 apps by the Election Commission of India.
Friends, Federal Bank, the bank of Kerala. Where is Federal Bank from? It is a bank from Kerala. And there is a Federal Reserve, which is the central bank of America, friends. So, here, the Federal Bank of Kerala is buying the credit card portfolio of Standard Chartered Bank to increase its customers in big cities. So, this is a very big news, friends.
Besides this, what has SEBI launched, friends? SEBI has launched PARVAH. What is PARVAH, friends? It is from SEBI. Friends, here you might get confused. There is PRVAAH of RBI, the Reserve Bank Innovation Hub's PRVAAH. When you need any approval, like if an NBFC needs a license or anything, or if you need any approval from the RBI from outside, you apply on PRVAAH. But this is SEBI's PRVAAH, and PRVAAH means care. What does PRVAAH mean, my dear children? PRVAAH means care. So, here, what is SEBI caring about? It is caring for its investors. And what else is it caring about? First, let's see the full form of PRVAAH, friends. Its full form is Past Risk and Return Verification Agency. Past Risk and Return Verification Agency. Now, friends, you will understand. This will start from May 4th. This will start from May 4th, friends.
Now the question arises, last year's May 1st to May 4th reminds me, friends. Last year, from May 1st to May 4th, the Web Summit was held in Mumbai. So, a year has passed since then. Many questions came from the Web Summit last year. Friends, you know that many people give advice related to stocks, and the stock is falling. Now, friends, those influencers, these influencers are very common these days. There are many influencers, even in bank preparation, there are very dangerous, formidable influencers. They themselves are not clearing, and they are telling you to do this and that, and after every exam, that influencer's crying video comes: "Oh, I couldn't clear, and I couldn't do well in GA," and then they will also give advice on GA. The most dangerous thing is that these influencers are also a different species. So, friends, there is no shortage of advisors in our lives. After YouTube came, those advisors have increased even more. They have made our lives miserable because we follow one influencer, then a year is wasted. Then we follow another influencer, then another year is wasted. In this way, many years have been wasted by our influencers. Their own lives are ruined, and they are ruining yours too. Do you understand?
So, similarly, friends, there are influencers who commit a crime called pump and dump. What does the pump and dump crime say? They use their influence to tell people to buy a stock, and when people buy it, the best thing is that for GA, they will tell you to follow an IAS channel teacher, and they will tell you to follow an SSC teacher. Brother, you don't even understand that this is bank current affairs, sir. In SSC, the news ends in half an hour. Still, friends, people don't understand what their mistake is. In the end, they only understand that GA doesn't get marks, or some influencer tells them to read from a PDF. Teachers of other subjects are also involved in this, and the child's year is being wasted in GA, getting five marks. The cutoff is going down by one mark because of these influencers. In GA, the cutoff goes down by one or two marks, where our students don't talk about anything less than 20 to 30 marks. The cutoff goes down to one mark because of these great people. They themselves read GA from PDFs, so how will they make others attempt? No, but because of them, at least ten to twenty thousand people read from PDFs, right? That's why they also cry.
So, friends, because the exam now asks something related to it from six months ago, instead of asking six months of current affairs. So, the one-liner system is over. Proofreading current affairs and PDFs have failed. They have failed for two-three years. Then, friends, influencers tell you a stock, pump it up, and then sell it later because they know that this stock has no substance, and your money gets stuck. You incur a loss there. So, friends, this system has been launched to track them. This was launched on a pilot basis in December 2025. Pilot basis means when something is started for a short term, in an experimental mode, only for some people, only in some places. When it is successful, then it starts fully functional. So, when will it start fully functional, friends? It will start fully functional from May 4th. So, this PRVAAH is starting, friends. So, you should remember this that what will PRVAAH do? It will track the past data and track record of those influencers to see if their advice was correct. Were those companies correct, or not? Were they sound companies, or did they give fake advice? Action will also be taken against such people. Okay? Do you understand, friends?
So, EPFO has also launched its portal to recover unclaimed and dormant PF accounts, named E-Pragati. What is the name, friends? E-Pragati. For finding unclaimed, abandoned money, it is E-Pragati, which is for PF accounts. So, this is from PF RDA, right? Because PF, all things will be regulated by PF RDA. Similarly, for unclaimed mutual funds, SEBI has a portal named Mitra Portal. Its name is Mitra Portal. Similarly, for unclaimed money from RBI, there is the UDGAM portal, Unclaimed Deposit Gateway to Access Information. Similarly, IRDA also has one for unclaimed money, its name is Bima Bharosa. Bima Bharosa Portal. So, friends, here you can find your money. If you have ever worked somewhere, your PF account would have been created. Even if you worked in a small place on roll, even in private jobs. Now, how to get that money, you will get it from E-Pragati. How good is that? Everyone has worked somewhere at some point.
Ankit Kumar is saying, "Dava Suchak." Dava Suchak is not unclaimed. It is for claims. It is not unclaimed. It is for claims. What is a claim, friends? In insurance, it is called a claim. In insurance, the money you get as compensation is called a claim. So, Dava Suchak is for DICGC. What does DICGC do? When a bank fails, it gives ₹5 lakh insurance to depositors. Now, where has that money reached? When will it be received? You get all this information on Dava Suchak. This is a claim tracker. It is not unclaimed. It is a claim. There is a difference between claim and unclaimed. Claim means the money we are to receive as compensation in insurance is called a claim. And unclaimed means the money we have deposited, invested, invested in PF, invested in mutual funds, deposited in accounts, invested in insurance, and I forgot that money. I forgot that money, or that money became unclaimed. We haven't used it for a long time. Now we want that money. Whether it is mine, or my father's, or my grandfather's. We can get that money by claiming it as unclaimed. So, here you can get your money.
Friends, what is its full form? Its full form is, my dear children, EPF Aadhaar Based. See, EPF is from EE. Right? Now you have to search for it. We won't be able to search. P is found, T is found, I is found, A is found. Then A is found. But P P R is not found. Here, after E, it is PF, so R. Now, consider R silent. R is not going to be found. So, its name is E-Pragati, friends. Okay? So, write down its full form too. EPF Aadhaar Based Access Portal to Tracking the Inoperative Account. So, what is the full form of E-Pragati, friends? EPF Aadhaar Based Access Portal to Tracking the Inoperative Account. So, this is the full form of E-Pragati, friends.
Let's ask one thing, friends. The Universal Account Number in PF, how many digits does it have? Whenever such news comes, you must remember the digits. Okay? So, you have to tell how many digits it has.
Quickly tell me, friends. How many digits is the UAN?
Friends, now we are moving from the headline segment to the MCQ segment. In the MCQ segment, we test you with multiple-choice questions, which we have read in the headlines the previous day. So, friends, PV Sindhu has been made a member of the Badminton World Federation Council with voting rights. What is PV Sindhu's term as the Chair of the Badminton Athletes Commission? Friends, you know PV Sindhu, a very great badminton player. She won a medal in the 2016 Olympics and also in the 2020 Olympics. That is, she was the first Indian woman to win medals in two consecutive Olympics. So, friends, here you have to tell that, friends, you will find many revolutionary things in today's session. Remember this. Stay till the end, and you will say, "Sir, it was amazing."
This has been made for 2026 to 2029, friends. She is the Chair, friends. Chair means head, i.e., she is the head of the Athletes Commission of the Badminton World Federation, friends. Remember this. Okay? Do you understand?
Okay, friends. Where is the headquarters of the Badminton World Federation? It is in Kuala Lumpur. Remember this too. What is Kuala Lumpur, friends? It is the capital of Malaysia. It is the capital of Malaysia, friends. And Ringgit is its currency. Tell me, friends, which exercise do we do with Malaysia? Which exercise do we do with Malaysia? Tell me.
The ASEAN meeting was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Yes, absolutely, ESM Pawan Kumar Ji, you are absolutely correct that the ASEAN meeting was held here, where Timor-Leste joined as the 11th member of ASEAN. You are absolutely correct. The Hari Mau Shakti exercise is held with Malaysia. You are absolutely correct. Your point is also absolutely correct, friends.
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited also has an office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, friends. Remember this too. The Bengaluru-based company that makes jet planes and helicopters. By the way, the headquarters of ASEAN is in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia.
Friends, how much allocation has the central government made in Budget 2026 for the Rural Employment Livelihood Mission VBG Ram Ji Yojana for the new Viksit Bharat Guarantee? Friends, every year there is a fixed question from the budget: how much money has been given to MNREGA? So, MNREGA was given about ₹86,000 crore last year, right? This question must come in your exam every year, in some exam or the other, but now, friends, its name has become VBG Ram Ji Yojana, Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rural Employment Livelihood Mission. This is its new name. This scheme is the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, whose name has changed, and questions about its budget allocation will also come in your exam.
So, friends, if we talk about this, ₹95,692 crore have been allocated. This is the outlay given in this budget. Sujit Paswan is saying that sir, Jakarta is the most populous. You are absolutely correct. Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, has the largest population in the world. So, friends, the VBG Ram Ji Yojana, which is the new name for MNREGA, has been given ₹95,692 crore. Do you understand? Okay.
And friends, the Union Government has, here, just a minute, I am coming.
So, friends, let's talk about the VBG Ram Ji Yojana. Oh, MNREGA.
Some money was also allocated for this because some work from the old plans might have remained pending. So, since some work remained pending, some more money was given for it. ₹00 crore were also given to MNREGA. So ₹5000 crore were given to VBG Ram Ji and ₹00 crore were given to Mahatma Gandhi NREGA. Friends, Mahatma Gandhi NREGA, which is the minimum employment guarantee scheme, its act came in 2005. This scheme, friends, came in 2006. And friends, the name of Mahatma Gandhi was added to NREGA, making it MNREGA, in 2009. A similar question came up: when did NPS come? On January 1, 2004. When was NPS implemented for the general public? It was implemented in 2009. In 2009, 90 days of employment were initially provided in MNREGA, and then it was increased to 100 days. However, in rain-fed areas, drought-affected areas, or tribal or forest areas, 150 days of employment are provided where agriculture cannot be done. Okay? Where agriculture cannot be done, but in VBG Ram Ji, how many days of employment guarantee are being provided? How many days? 125 days of employment guarantee are being provided. Okay? So, remember this: Developed India Guarantee for Employment Livelihood Mission. Okay? So, definitely remember these static facts that 100 days of employment guarantee were provided in MNREGA, and now it has been increased to 125 days. It has now been increased to 25 days. One more thing has been done in this, friends. A pause of 60 days has also been kept. For example, friends, when it is time for agriculture, farmers do not get laborers. Why? Because they are earning from MNREGA, so earlier laborers from Bihar used to come to UP. Now, laborers from Bihar stay in their own villages because their work is going on in MNREGA. Therefore, a pause of 60 days has also been kept here. During the agricultural season, you will not get MNREGA wages, i.e., VBG Ram Ji wages. Are you understanding? This point is very important. Friends, if we talk about the share of the VBG Ram Ji scheme. If we talk about the share of the VBG Ram Ji scheme, friends, in this scheme, for normal states and union territories, the ratio will be 60:40. Normal states mean, friends, UP, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and union territories mean normal union territories mean Delhi and Puducherry. Okay? Those union territories that have a Chief Minister. Just remember this: there should be a Chief Minister, there should be a legislative assembly, because there are also union territories that are centrally administered, right? Those that are 100% centrally administered, leave them aside, brother, because those union territories that are without a legislative assembly, the central government will provide 100% in them. The ratio will be 100:0 in them because the Central Government of India will provide it, as it is a union territory. So, here you should remember the first share. Second, remember this share. Okay? Third, friends, for North Eastern and hilly areas, where agriculture is less, whether it is a state or a union territory, a state or a union territory with a CM, with a legislative assembly, like Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Arunachal Pradesh, these are all North Eastern hilly areas. Here the ratio will be 90:10. Because their income is not that much. So their ratio will be 90:10. Now you will say, sir, tell us about the old one. The old one was 90:10. In MNREGA, it was 90:10. Note this down somewhere. Okay? Are you understanding? So, these are three types of shares, meaning how much the center will give, how much the state will give? So, this is the share of the state and the union. Remember this. The larger portion is the center's share, and the smaller portion is the state's share. Okay? Remember this in VBG Ram Ji. Meaning, this is also wrong. It has been changed from 90:10 to 60:40. Okay? Now, in without legislative assembly, write Ladakh here. Write Goa, Andaman and Nicobar, Lakshadweep. Okay? So, you will remember this. Okay? Clear? Are you understanding? Okay. Friends, now we come to our next segment. Towards the RBI circular. Friends, the RBI has approved the voluntary merger of The Bhavani Sahakari Bank, Mumbai, with TGSB Sahakari Bank. Friends, on the Best 200 channel, the new channel I have created, there is a 6-month current affairs class every night at 9 PM. March is currently ongoing. In two days, the April monthly will start. April has been a very important month, friends. Remember this too, because in the month of April, data from the previous financial year is available, which is asked in examinations throughout the year. You will say, sir, what kind of data, I didn't understand. See, friends, for example, our exports this year were $860 billion. So, data up to March 31st is available, so it will be asked in exams throughout the year. So, you will find a lot of such data in April's current affairs. And that's why it becomes essential for you to start studying from April. So, those who have not attended the daily current affairs classes for April will cover it from the Best 200 6-month current affairs monthly. Although not all news can be covered, still, something is better than nothing. What is past is past, but there is no substitute for daily current affairs, friends. Remember, questions come from everything. Only this class guarantees the highest attempt. Okay? Are you understanding? So, like this, all these things you have to remember. Okay? That, brother, what is our export amount? So, see here, around ₹38,000 crore, around ₹38,000 crore is our defense export as well. Our defense export is also ₹38,000 crore. Remember this too. Seafood or whose export? We had read something about seafood earlier, ₹3,16,000 crore. So, here, all these exports that we have done, for example, here you are seeing a 4% growth. Here you are seeing 62% growth in defense exports, ₹38,424 crore. Okay? Are you understanding? So, here ₹3.16 lakh crore, they are saying this is textile export. So, ₹3.16 lakh crore is textile export. I had also taught you something about seafood, right? I had also taught you about seafood, right? So, let me write it down, so you don't get confused. This is total export. This is your defense export. This is your textile export. This is ₹38,424 crore. In this, we have about 4% growth. In this, we have about 60% growth. 62 something, and this is textile export. In this, we estimate about 2% growth, approximately in textile. Okay? Are you understanding? Okay. The data for Capital Adequacy Ratio for March has not come yet. Yes, in this, there is about 2% growth. It was ₹39,000 crore. It is ₹316,000 crore. So, you will find many such data in April. Friends, whose voluntary merger happened here? Friends, the voluntary merger of Bhavani Sahakari Bank, Mumbai, has happened with TJSB Sahakari Bank. Friends, what is a voluntary merger? When two parties mutually decide to merge. This happens under Section 44A. We had studied such a merger when, friends, New India Cooperative Bank was merged into Saraswat Cooperative Bank. Saraswat Cooperative Bank, which is the largest cooperative bank in India, is also from Mumbai. A forced merger comes under Section 45. You are absolutely right. Absolutely right. Friends, Mission Saksham, launched by the RBI, is a nationwide capacity building initiative aimed at strengthening which sector of India? Mission Saksham, launched by the RBI, is a nationwide capacity building initiative designed to strengthen which of the following sectors in India? Tell me. Friends, it has been launched by the RBI, so it is very important for us. So, what is the full form of Mission Saksham, friends? Cooperative Bank Capacity Building. For the capacity building of cooperative banks. For the capacity building of cooperative banks, this has been started. For the capacity building of Urban Cooperative Banks, meaning capacity means capacity and building means building. So, which mission has been launched for the capacity building of Urban Cooperative Banks? Mission Saksham. Now, tell me, friends, for what purpose was Mission Samudra launched by the RBI? For what purpose was Mission Samudra launched? Tell me. And friends, RBI's Medium Term Strategy Plan Utkarsh 3.0 for 2026-29, for what purpose has it been launched? This mid-term strategy plan is for strengthening currency issue management infrastructure. For strengthening currency chests and all these things, Mission Samudra is there. You are absolutely right, because after printing currency, the RBI also has to distribute it. So, it will now do it in a high-tech way with new technology and new infrastructure. What is Utkarsh 3.0? It is a mid-term strategy plan whose focus is CBDC. CBDC, which is the RBI's digital currency. Now, how to make it popular? Because CBDC was launched in 2022, launched in November-December, and today, friends, you are still not using CBDC. So, RBI's next plan will be to get CBDC used. In the next 3 years, it will be to make CBDC familiar to you. What is the full form of Mission Saksham? Cooperative Bank Capacity Building. This is for Urban Cooperative Banks, friends. The PSL target for Urban Cooperative Banks has been reduced from 75% to 60%, similar to Small Finance Banks. Friends, Urban Cooperative Banks have been brought under the RBI. The RBI will regulate Urban Cooperative Banks. NABARD will supervise them. And matters related to governance, staff, and management are looked after by the State Government's Registrar of Cooperative Societies. Okay? The Indian government's and RBI's watchful eye on Urban Cooperative Banks fell after 2020, and by amending the Banking Regulation Act, the RBI brought them under its purview. And since then, for these 15,000 Urban Cooperative Banks, a mountain of troubles has fallen upon them. There are 1500 of them. Today, if a question comes in your exam: whose complaint is the most in RBI Lokpal? It is of Urban Cooperative Banks. Whose license is canceled the most? Urban Cooperative Banks. Whose merger is happening the most? You just saw the previous news, Urban Cooperative Banks. On whom does the RBI impose the most penalties? The answer is Urban Cooperative Banks. Okay? So, this has been started specifically to train Urban Cooperative Banks, to teach them how to work. Friends, today, as I said, I will teach you some good topics. For example, friends, important topics that have happened recently and have a high chance of appearing in examinations, we have started with new thumbnails and a new beginning for you today. For example, friends, if we talk about a topic that comes in exams. We will take topics from where questions definitely come. So, questions come from rankings. And friends, Triple R: Rise, Revise, Recall. I help you remember GA current affairs in three ways: Write, Revise, Recall. That is, first write, then revise what you have written, and keep recalling whenever that topic comes to you. So, friends, questions come from recent indexes and rankings, and this is called "jugali" (rumination). Why is it called jugali, friends? If you have ever read a book like "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind," our subconscious mind has immense power. You often see that the day before an exam, you suddenly read an entire book and even give the exam the next day very well. This means that we have unlimited power within us. But we use it when? We show our Shaktimaan powers only when needed. Otherwise, we wander around as ordinary people. So, friends, here we have to do that jugali. Just like a cow, what does it do? First, it eats all the food. Our subconscious mind works similarly. And then the cow sits comfortably and slowly brings out the food from inside and digests it by ruminating. You also eat all the current affairs, but then you don't ruminate, which is why you can't recall. You must remember some childhood incident, friends, when you were three or four years old. How do you remember that incident? It is recalled again and again. It is recalled again and again. So, friends, that's why rumination is very important. So, friends, today we will ruminate on indexes and rankings. In the Global Gender Gap Index, our ranking is 131. Iceland has topped. Friends, it recently came in your exam: which is the most peaceful city/country in the world? It is Iceland. In the Peace Index, our ranking is 115, and in Happiness, friends, our ranking is 116. And in Happiness, friends, Finland is at the top. Okay? So, friends, here, these are the important ones, friends. You have to remember them like this. Okay? Are you understanding, friends? Mayo Clinic from America is the world's best hospital. AIIMS Delhi is in India and has a ranking of 97. And Naresh Trehan's Medanta Hospital is at 146, and PGIIMER of Chandigarh is at 228. Friends, in the World Happiness Report, our ranking is 116, and in the Hunger Index, perhaps our ranking is 102. It was 105, perhaps it has become 102. In Brand Finance Insurance, among the world's top three strongest life insurance companies, there is PGU of Poland. China Life Insurance of China. In third place is LIC, friends, which is the third strongest insurance brand in the world. And it is also the 12th most valuable. It is at the 12th position in value. So, LIC is the 12th most valuable insurance brand. In the Corruption Perception Index, our ranking is 96, in which Denmark has topped. Who has topped? Denmark has topped. Okay? Are you understanding? Rajesh Kumar Sahu is saying, in what were we 118? You were 118 in happiness. You have become 116 from 118. Pay attention to this. Okay? Clear? So, friends, you are ruminating on some rankings here. Here, we will start writing it. In the Human Development Index, friends, our ranking is 130. In Press Freedom, friends, our ranking is 131st. In Sustainable Development Goals, friends, the ranking is 99. Okay? In the Innovation Index, friends, which is released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, Geneva, our ranking is 38. Climate Conference, in Belum, Brazil, the CCPI index is released, in which 1, 2, 3 are empty. Denmark is at fourth place. Here our ranking is 23rd. Climate Risk Index, this was also released there. At COP 30 itself. Our ranking is ninth. Friends, in the Forest index, friends, we are also at the ninth rank. Indira Gandhi International Airport, friends, our ranking is also at the ninth position in this. In BGS Airport and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Airport, we are also at the ninth position in this. What is it? In favorite airports. Okay, friends? In the Global Firepower Index, our ranking is fourth. After America, there is Russia in firepower, meaning in war. Then there is China, and after China, there is India. This is our ranking in firepower. Okay? Are you understanding? Clear, sir? In Press Freedom, it has become 157. Now, Press Freedom Day will come, brother. How has it become 157 now? Has the ranking come already? Coal Day is on May 4th. Everything will happen in May. Press Freedom Day is on May 3rd or 4th, right? It came yesterday. Oh, it has come. It often comes on the same day. It might have come earlier. So, Press Freedom Day is on May 3rd.
