Daily Current Affairs 26 August 2026

Welcome to the Ujiyari Daily Current Affairs edition for Wednesday, August 26, 2026. The Union Home Ministry notified August 25 as the date on which the Kerala (Alteration of Name) Act, 2026 came into force, so the First Schedule to the Constitution now reads Keralam, a clean teaching case in how Articles 3 and 4 work. The e-Shram portal completed five years with 31.89 crore registrations, and NITI Aayog released “Reimagining Skilling for Viksit Bharat@2047”, which finds 8.7 crore Indians aged 15 to 29 are not in education, employment or training. SEBI introduced an IT Resilience Index for market infrastructure institutions, the Centre proposed a complete ban on the insecticide Carbosulfan, and ICAR-NBAGR registered 16 new indigenous breeds. Today is also Thiruvonam, the main day of Onam, which falls in the same week the State became Keralam. Today’s edition carries eight deep-dive articles, a full news roundup, eleven editorial analyses drawn from four newspapers, and a practice quiz.
