Explanation -
CINBAX-II is a bilateral military exercise between the Indian Army and the Royal Cambodian Army.

It is conducted under the framework of Chapter VII of the United Nations Mandate, focusing on joint training at the company level for operations in sub-conventional and semi-urban environments.

Host Nation: Kingdom of Cambodia.
Location: Techo Sen Phnom Thom Mreas Provincial Royal Cambodian Air Force Training Centre (Camp Basil), Kampong Speu Province.
Nations involved: India and Cambodia.

Aim: The primary objective of CINBAX-II is to enhance interoperability, coordination, and operational synergy between the two armies.

It aims to align their capabilities with the current dynamics of counter-terrorism operations typically encountered by UN peacekeeping forces.

Explanation -
Pancreas (not liver) produces insulin, so, the first statement is incorrect.

Type 1 Diabetes -
It is also known as Diabetes Mellitus Type 1.
It occurs when the pancreas fails to produce sufficient insulin. The consequent lack of insulin causes an increase in glucose level in urine and blood.

Type 2 Diabetes -
It is also called Diabetes Mellitus Type 2.
The prime reason for the occurrence of type 2 diabetes is due to obesity and lack of exercise in people who are genetically biased.

It is widely believed that only children and adolescents get type-1 diabetes and obese and older (typically after 45 years of age) get type-2 diabetes.

Explanation -
Drishti is the world's first satellite equipped with both optical and SAR sensors operating simultaneously to capture images of the same location at the same time.

GalaxEye calls this proprietary innovation "Opto-SAR technology."

The Core Technological Challenge — and How It Was Solved —
SAR and optical sensors are designed differently and look at Earth at different angles. If placed side by side without synchronisation, the optical sensor might be capturing Bengaluru while the SAR sensor is simultaneously capturing Dubai.

GalaxEye developed a proprietary technology stack that synchronises the functionalities of both sensors, enabling them to look at the exact same location at the same time.

Hence, it eliminates the need for users to manually align datasets from two different satellites.

The AI Dimension —
When optical sensors are unable to capture images due to clouds, Drishti uses Artificial Intelligence to regenerate optical-like images from SAR data — further bridging the gap between clarity and all weather reliability.

Explanation -
Lipulekh Pass also known as Lipu-Lekh Pass/Qiangla or Tri-Corner is a high altitude mountain pass situated in the western Himalayas with a height of 5,334 metre or 17,500 feet.

It is an International mountain pass between India, China and Nepal.

Explanation -
Inland water transport (IWT) refers to the movement of goods and passengers through navigable rivers, canals, backwaters, and creeks using boats and vessels.

It is one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly modes of transport, complementing road and rail networks in India's multimodal logistics strategy.

India has an extensive network of over 14,500 km of navigable waterways, of which 111 waterways have been declared as National Waterways (NWs) under the National Waterways Act, 2016.

The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI), established in 1986, is the nodal agency for developing and maintaining these national waterways.

Major operational National Waterways include —

• NW-1: Ganga-Bhagirathi-Hooghly River system from Prayagraj to Haldia
• NW-2: Brahmaputra River in Assam
• NW-3: West Coast Canal in Kerala
• NW-4 & NW-5: Connecting river systems in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu

These waterways are being developed with modern terminals, navigational aids, and vessel support services to facilitate steady cargo and passenger operations.
