About Sharavathi Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project (PSHP):
- It is a PSHP proposed on the Sharavathi River in the Shivamogga district, Karnataka.
- This project, with its aim to generate 2,000 MW of power, will be the biggest of its kind in the country.
- It is being developed by Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL).
- The project involves building a pumped storage power plant between two existing reservoirs.
- The Talakalale dam currently helps balance water for the existing Sharavathy hydroelectric project. The Gerusoppa dam will be the lower reservoir.
- The project aims to utilise renewable energy sources and reduce carbon emissions.
- Modelled on the lines of Telangana’s Kaleshwaram project, it also aims to supply drinking water to Bengaluru.
- Five tunnels and eight pumping stations are critical parts of the plan.
- The project falls within the Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ) of the Sharavathi Wildlife Sanctuary, which is home to the endangered lion-tailed macaque, hornbills, king cobras, and numerous endemic plant species of the Western Ghats.
Key Facts about Sharavathi River:
- It flows through Karnataka.
- It is one of the few rivers in India, which flows in the west direction.
- A large part of the river basin lies in the Western Ghats.
- Course: Rising in the Western Ghats, it flows in a northwesterly direction and empties into the Arabian Sea at Honnavar, near the Uttara Kannada district.
- On its way, the Sharavathi forms the Jog Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in India.
- Diverse geological features mark the river’s course, including rocky outcrops, fertile plains, and deep gorges.
- Major Tributaries: Nandihole, Haridravathi, Mavinahole, Hilkunji, Yennehole, Hurlihole, and Nagodihole.

About Golestan Palace:
- It is a historically significant site located at the heart of Iran’s capital, Tehran.
- Stemming from the Persian word "Golestan" which means "rose garden" or "flower garden", the palace is otherwise known as the "Rose Garden Palace".
- Dating back to the 16th century, it is a crucial part of the Persian royal heritage, representing the long and influential reign of the Qajar dynasty, followed by the Pahlavi dynasty.
- Originally built as a citadel for Safavid rulers, it was transformed over centuries into a sprawling royal complex with gardens, palatial buildings, and collections of Persian and European artefacts.
- It became the seat of government of the Qajar family, which came into power in 1779 and made Teheran the capital of the country.
- It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

About Shahed Drones:
- Shahed drones are low-cost, one-way-attack unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) developed by Iran.
- Often referred to as "kamikaze" or "suicide" drones, they function essentially as guided missiles that fly towards a pre-designated target and explode on impact.
- Most widely used variants: Shahed-131 and Shahed-136
- The low cost, low-altitude flight profile and self-sacrificial nature, has seen Shaheds labelled “the poor man’s cruise missile”.
- Produced in large numbers, swarms of Shahed drones can overwhelm air defences by saturating them from multiple directions at once.
- Features:
- The Shahed-131 has a range of 700–900 km, while the Shahed-136 has the longer range, i.e., between 2,000 and 2,500 kilometres.
- They are launched using a disposable rocket booster fitted to their underside. Shortly after launch, the booster is jettisoned, and a piston-driven engine takes over to provide propulsion.
- They can be launched from both static rail mounts as well as vehicles.
- For navigation, it uses a combination of civilian GPS/GLONASS and an Inertial Navigation System (INS) often pre-programmed with coordinates before launch.
- They can be equipped with various warheads, including high-explosive fragmentation, thermobaric, and shrapnel-filled munitions, maximising damage to both personnel and equipment.

About Glyptothorax sentimereni and Oreichthys elianae:

- Glyptothorax sentimereni:
- It was discovered in the rocky stretches of the Dikhu River.
- It belongs to a group of torrent-dwelling catfishes known for their ability to cling to fast-flowing streams.
- It possesses a specialised adhesive structure on its underside that helps it cling to rocks in strong currents.
- It also possesses serrations on its dorsal-fin spine and a plicate (folded) ventral surface on its pectoral and pelvic fins — features that separate it from closely related species across the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna basin.
- Oreichthys elianae:
- It was found in a tributary of the Tsurang River.
- The fish is distinguished by its bright red fins and a prominent black blotch at the base of its tail.
