Welcome to the Ujiyari Daily Current Affairs edition for Wednesday, August 12, 2026, International Youth Day. N. Chandrasekaran resigned as Tata Sons Chairman ahead of an August 18 AGM vote, reviving scrutiny of the trust-controlled governance structure atop the Tata Group, while the Tamil Nadu Assembly passed a resolution demanding a permanent freeze on Lok Sabha strength at 543 seats, reopening the delimitation-federalism debate after April’s failed 850-seat expansion Bill. Kerala inducted its first-ever tribal representatives onto the State Board for Wildlife, activating a five-decade-old statutory provision, and the Ministry of Social Justice strengthened its SMILE-Beggary rehabilitation framework. On the defence and connectivity front, GRSE launched the offshore patrol vessel Shruti for the Navy, and Rail Coach Factory Kapurthala rolled out its first LHB coach rake for Bangladesh Railway. The roundup also covers a rare Himalayan bee recorded in India for the first time, Ram Nath Kovind’s autobiography release, India’s 12-medal para-cycling haul in Denmark, and the passing of science communicator M.P. Parameswaran. The full roundup, deep-dive articles, and a practice quiz follow.
