The Immigration and Foreigners Order, 2025, by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) gave the authority of the first-class judicial magistrate to Foreigners Tribunals (FTs). It is an order that mainly applies to Assam where FTs have been used but it authorizes the detention of those who cannot establish their Indian nationality. It supersedes the 1964 Foreigners (Tribunal) Order, and comes after the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, which repealed older legislation.

The Indian Government launched Angikaar 2025 on 4th September 2025 in New Delhi. The campaign was aimed at accelerating the implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban 2.0 (PMAY-U 2.0). The campaign gives special emphasis on creating awareness, accelerating application verifications and finishing houses sooner under the scheme. The campaign will be carried out in more than 5,000 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) within a period of two months.

The launch of Israel's Ofek-19 satellite on 2 September 2025 is an important development in Middle East intelligence and defence. The new-generation reconnaissance satellite is equipped with all-weather, day and night surveillance capability on a routine basis through its Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology. That adds a capability in indigenous space-based intelligence and security coordination with allies, including the United States.

India has also opened up the Vikram 3201 which is its first fully indigenous 32-bit microprocessor which will be used in space missions. The processor was developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in partnership with the Semiconductor Laboratory (SCL), Chandigarh, and is another significant addition to becoming self-reliant in high-end semiconductor technology.

Scientists at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) have finally unraveled a mystery in river geomorphology--why some rivers pass in a single channel whereas others are separated into multiple threads. Based on tens of years of satellite records and state-of-the- art image processing, the research identifies the physical processes influencing these river environments; information that can be used in flood control, restoration, and ecosystem conservation.
