🔆 5G Network Slicing

📍 Why in News?
✅ Bharti Airtel launched India’s first consumer-focused 5G Network Slicing plan, ‘Priority Postpaid’, sparking a debate on net neutrality.

📍 What is 5G Network Slicing?
✅ A technology that allows a telecom operator to divide a single physical 5G network into multiple virtual and independent network slices.

✅ Each slice is customized to meet specific Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for different users, applications, or industries.

📍 How Does It Work?
✅ Uses:
• Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
• Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)

✅ Dynamically allocates:
• Bandwidth
• Processing power
• Network resources
• Latency levels

✅ During network congestion, dedicated slices ensure consistent performance for assigned users.

📍 Key Features
✅ Virtual Isolation
• Multiple slices share the same infrastructure but function independently.
• Traffic surge in one slice does not affect others.

✅ Dynamic Resource Allocation
• Resources can be scaled up or down in real time.

✅ Application Agnostic
• Treats all data equally regardless of apps or websites being used.

✅ Customized Network Slices
• Ultra-low latency for autonomous vehicles and remote surgery.
• Massive connectivity for IoT devices.
• High-speed broadband for premium consumers.

📍 Significance
✅ Enables telecom operators to provide dedicated and congestion-free 5G services.

✅ Supports advanced technologies such as:
• Smart factories
• Autonomous vehicles
• Telemedicine
• Industrial IoT
• Smart cities

✅ Creates new revenue streams through premium service offerings.

📍 Concerns
✅ Raises questions regarding Net Neutrality.

✅ Critics argue premium users may receive superior network quality during congestion, potentially widening the digital divide.

✅ Telecom companies maintain that all content is treated equally and only network resources are prioritized.

📍 Prelims Pointer
✅ SDN (Software-Defined Networking) separates network control from hardware, while NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) replaces dedicated hardware with software-based network functions.

🔆 Balancing Development and Ecology in the Himalayas

📍 Why in News?
✅ The Centre has halted approval of new hydropower projects in the upper Ganga Basin (Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers) while allowing 7 ongoing projects to continue in Uttarakhand.

📍 Key Dimensions of the Issue

✅ Ecological & Geological Concerns
• Himalayas are young fold mountains located in Seismic Zones IV & V.
• Blasting, tunnelling, excavation and unscientific muck dumping increase risks of landslides, subsidence and slope instability.
• Climate change is accelerating Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs).
• Example: Teesta-III Dam in Sikkim was destroyed by a GLOF in 2023.

✅ Strategic & National Security Importance
• Projects like the Char Dham Highway improve military mobility near the LAC.
• Hydropower projects strengthen India’s position in transboundary river management, especially against China’s upstream dam construction on the Brahmaputra/Siang.

✅ Economic & Energy Needs
• Hydropower provides peak-load support and grid stability for solar and wind energy.
• Mountain states like Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh depend on hydropower revenues for development and employment.

✅ Cultural & Religious Significance
• Upper Ganga region is sacred for millions.
• Diversion of rivers through tunnels affects Aviralta (uninterrupted flow) and Nirmalta (purity) of rivers.

📍 Key Challenges

✅ Legacy Project Contradiction
• New projects are restricted, but ongoing projects such as Tapovan Vishnugad continue despite disaster concerns.

✅ Eastern Himalayan Blind Spot
• Restrictions apply mainly to Uttarakhand.
• Large projects continue on Teesta, Siang and Dibang rivers without a comprehensive ecological framework.

📍 Way Forward

✅ Cumulative Impact Assessment (CIA)
• Assess entire river basins instead of evaluating projects individually.

✅ Promote Low-Impact Hydropower
• Encourage Run-of-the-River (RoR) projects and Pumped Storage Plants (PSPs).

✅ Unified Himalayan Policy
• Develop a comprehensive ecological framework from J&K to Arunachal Pradesh.

✅ Sustainable Engineering Practices
• Adopt environmentally safe tunnelling methods and strictly regulate debris disposal.

📍 Conclusion
✅ Sustainable development in the Himalayas requires balancing ecological security, clean energy needs, national security, and cultural heritage through science-based planning and long-term environmental governance.

✅ Can become rapidly fatal in severe cases

📍 Transmission
✅ Tick Bites: Main mode of transmission through infected ticks such as:
✅ Rhipicephalus
✅ Ixodes
✅ Dermacentor
✅ Haemaphysalis
✅ Transovarial Transmission: Infected female ticks pass the parasite to offspring.
✅ Blood Transmission: Through contaminated blood transfusions or instruments.
✅ Vertical Transmission: Rare transfer from mother to offspring.
✅ Zoonotic Disease: Humans can also be infected, especially immunocompromised individuals.

📍 Treatment & Control
✅ Anti-protozoal drugs such as Imidocarb Dipropionate and Diminazene Aceturate.
✅ Tick control using acaricides.
✅ Habitat and environmental management to reduce tick populations.
✅ Early diagnosis and surveillance in wildlife and livestock.
✅ Controlled exposure in calves can help develop long-term immunity.

📍 Significance
✅ Highlights disease surveillance challenges in wildlife conservation.
✅ Important for protecting endangered Asiatic Lions.
✅ Demonstrates the impact of vector-borne diseases on biodiversity and livestock health.

📍 UPSC Relevance
✅ Prelims: Babesiosis, tick-borne diseases, zoonotic diseases, Asiatic Lion, Gir National Park.
✅ Mains (GS3): Wildlife conservation, zoonotic diseases, biodiversity protection, One Health approach.

🔆 Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) Completes 10 Years

📍 Why in Focus?
✅ The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016 has completed a decade of operation, emerging as a major reform in India’s credit market, corporate governance, and insolvency resolution framework.

📍 What is IBC?
✅ Enacted in 2016 as a unified insolvency law replacing multiple fragmented legislations.
✅ Provides a creditor-driven, legally binding, and time-bound mechanism for resolving insolvency of companies, partnership firms, and individuals.
✅ Aims to maximize asset value, improve credit discipline, and ensure faster recovery for creditors.

📍 Key Features
✅ Single Consolidated Framework: Integrates multiple insolvency laws into one code.
✅ Time-Bound Resolution: Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) follows strict timelines.
✅ Creditor-in-Control Model: Management shifts from promoters to the Committee of Creditors (CoC).
✅ Two-Tier Adjudication: NCLT handles corporate insolvency; DRT deals with individuals and partnership firms.
✅ Institutional Ecosystem: Regulated by IBBI, supported by Insolvency Professionals (IPs) and Information Utilities (IUs).
✅ Waterfall Mechanism: Defines priority for asset distribution during liquidation.

📍 Major Achievements in 10 Years
✅ 1,419 resolution plans approved by March 2026.
✅ Creditors realized over ₹4 lakh crore, equivalent to 95% of fair value and 167% of liquidation value.
✅ Over 30,000 cases settled before admission, involving nearly ₹14 lakh crore.
✅ Banking sector Gross NPA ratio declined from 11.8% (2017) to 2.1% (September 2025).
✅ Resolved firms recorded 89% increase in sales and 131% rise in asset turnover.
✅ Market value of listed resolved firms increased from ₹2.8 lakh crore to ₹9 lakh crore.

📍 Challenges
