The democracy of India has been branded as the festival of the people with millions of people voting during each election. Although regular polls are the manifestation of the participation system, they also lead to economic, developmental, and social problems. Their long-term effect on governance is debatable in 2025.

According to the Election Commission of India (ECI), 474 Registered Unrecognised Political Parties (RUPPs) have been dropped due to not having contested an election in the last 6 years. This step is contained in a bigger initiative of sweeping the electoral process to leave in the system only active and compliant parties. By this move, the 808 who have been removed among the RUPPs alone in the last two months leaves 2,046 of these parties still on record.

The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) commissioned the most recently built ship, ICGS Adamya, on 19 September 2025 at Paradip Port, Odisha, and was an indigenous project. This is the beginning of the first of eight Adamaya-class Fast Patrol Vessels (FPVs) which have been designed and constructed by Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL), yet again enhancing the maritime capability of India in the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.

The System for Pension Administration - Raksha (SPARSH) has become a pioneer project in the modernisation of the Indian defence pension administration.

It has also been able to onboard more than 31.5 lakh pensioners in India and Nepal by 2025, which guarantees efficiency, transparency and timely payment of pensions.

The problem of noise pollution has been slowly but surely turning into a silent epidemic of health in Indian cities. Noise is one of the least discussed environmental issues, despite the fact that it is a category of air pollutant according to the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. Be it chaotic traffic, loudspeakers, construction sites, and industry, the life of urban dwellers is constantly filled with unsafe sound levels, and most of the time, people do not even think what their long-term effects are.
