Daily Current Affairs 7 September 2026

Welcome to the Ujiyari Daily Current Affairs edition for Monday, September 7, 2026. ISRO’s EOS-05, launched by GSLV-F17 at 02:55 IST on 4 September, completed the third and final manoeuvre of its orbit-raising campaign this evening as India’s first Earth imaging satellite designed for geosynchronous orbit, an operational successor to EOS-03/GISAT-1 lost in the GSLV-F10 failure of August 2021, and a step-change from the sun-synchronous polar architecture that has defined Indian civilian remote sensing to date. On 9 September at the Rudraksh Convention Centre, Varanasi, the Union Minister for Women and Child Development will launch the 9th Rashtriya Poshan Maah on the theme “Hamari Anganwadi, Hamari Jimmedari”, marking ten years of the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana and framed by the persistence of stunting at roughly one in three children under five in NFHS-5. 7 September itself is the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, this year on the theme “Clean Air for Climate Action”, with a global observance hosted at Bangkok by UNEP and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, against the backdrop of India’s revised NCAP target of a 40 per cent PM10 reduction by 2025-26 across 131 non-attainment cities. The TRUST Fellowship, launched at Bengaluru, is the education plank of the India-US strategic technology framework announced in February 2025 as the successor to iCET, and will move US postdocs and early-career faculty to IISc, IIT Madras and MAHE under Indian philanthropic funding. The Union Home Minister chairs the 28th Western Zonal Council at Panaji, an occasion to be clear that Zonal Councils are statutory bodies under the States Reorganisation Act 1956, are five in number, and are distinct from the North-Eastern Council and from the constitutional Inter-State Council under Article 263. A team from Yashwantrao Chavan College, Halkarni, with co-authors from the Zoological Survey of India and Savitribai Phule Pune University, has described Gegeneophis chandgadi, a new caecilian species, from Kolhapur, adding to the running case for the Western Ghats’ status as one of the 36 global biodiversity hotspots and a UNESCO World Heritage Site of 2012. And Bengaluru’s Pixxel has closed a $100 million Series C, co-led by Temasek and Seraphim Space, India’s single-largest space-tech round, for its six-satellite Firefly hyperspectral constellation operating at 5-metre resolution. In the roundup, the BAPS Swaminarayan temple at Bussy-Saint-Georges near Paris was consecrated on 6 September as continental Europe’s first traditional stone mandir, the country’s first hydrogen train was cleared to target 110 kmph after trials at 120 kmph on the Jind-Sonipat corridor, APNIC 62 week opened at Mumbai, Tata Boeing Aerospace rolled out its 400th Apache fuselage at Hyderabad, and Satwik-Chirag won the China Masters Super 750 at Shenzhen on 6 September.
