In today’s UPSC Daily Current Affairs (08 March 2026) session, we discuss several important topics relevant for UPSC Prelims and Mains, including the G-SPIDER AI-powered canal cleaning robot, the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, innovative food biotechnology using carrot waste and mycelium, and the global recognition of women farmers in agriculture.

The session explains how the G-SPIDER robotic system developed by Genrobotic Innovations helps eliminate manual scavenging and improves urban sanitation under Swachh Bharat Mission–Urban 2.0. It also analyses the objectives, provisions, and 2020 amendment of the Essential Commodities Act that allows the government to impose stock limits during extraordinary situations such as war, famine, or price surges.

Other key discussions include mycelium-based food technology using Pink Oyster Mushroom to convert carrot waste into protein-rich vegan patties, which promotes circular economy and sustainable food systems, and the growing feminisation of agriculture, highlighting the structural challenges faced by women farmers, including lack of land ownership and institutional support.

Additional topics include India–Finland environmental cooperation, free LPG cylinder scheme in Delhi, and the large Indian diaspora in West Asia, along with previous evacuation operations such as Operation Raahat and Operation Ganga.

This analysis connects science & technology, agriculture, governance, international relations, and social justice, making it highly useful for UPSC Prelims 2026 and GS Mains preparation.
