Daily Current Affairs Dec 29-31, 2025 | Govt Calendar 2026 & Sports News by Ranjay Kumar

In this comprehensive session, Ranjay Kumar analyzes the pivotal current affairs from December 29 to December 31, 2025, providing a strategic bridge into the 2026 exam cycle. A primary highlight of this video is the detailed breakdown of the Government of India Calendar 2026, released by Dr. L. Murugan (Union MoS for Information & Broadcasting). We explore the central theme—"Bharat @ 2026: Seva, Sushasan, and Samridhi"—and decode the specific monthly themes that are crucial for UPSC and SSC descriptive answers. Beyond national policy, this video clarifies complex static GK concepts often confused by aspirants, such as the distinction between India's Official Language (Rajbhasha) and the misconception of a National Language. We also cover essential infrastructure terminology, defining the operational differences between Greenfield and Brownfield projects. In the sports segment, we look at India's historical performance in the World Rapid Chess Championships and the retirement of New Zealand's Doug Bracewell. This lecture is designed to build both factual knowledge and conceptual clarity for competitive exams like Banking, Railways, and State PSCs. 29-31 December 2025 - Current Affairs 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:00:25- Government of India Calendar 2026 released 00:03:27-6-lane greenfield Nashik- Solapur-Akkalkot Corridor in Maharashtra Approved 00:06:15- EAM -Jaishnakar to attend ex-Bangladesh PM Khaleda Zia's funeral in Dhaka 00:10:32- President Murmu attends Antarrajyiy Jansanskritik Samagam Samaroh – Kartik Jatra 00:04:12- Union Minister of Jal Shakti C.
