UPSC Economy Quiz: Chabahar Port, Coffee, India-EU Trade

UPSC Economy Quiz: Chabahar Port, Coffee, India-EU Trade

Imagine India is building a special doorway to trade with countries far away, like Afghanistan and those in Central Asia.

This doorway is called the Chabahar port in Iran.

India got a special pass from the US for this port, so it can keep using it for a while.

Coffee grown in places like India is also really good for the environment – it helps fix damaged land, stops dirt from washing away, and gives farmers money.

India is also talking to Europe about making trade easier between them, and they've become each other's biggest trading buddies.

Meanwhile, one Indian state, Uttarakhand, wants to charge a little extra money for cars from other places that drive into its hilly areas to help clean up the air.

Lastly, a group of people are getting together to figure out how much government workers and retirees should be paid next, led by a very experienced judge.
