1. The Government of India has combined the eternal light of Amar Jawan Jyoti with the flame of the National War Memorial.

The decision to merge the two flames was made with the knowledge that the flame at Amar Jawan Jyoti pays tribute to the martyrs of 1971, but none of their names are present there, whereas the National War Memorial houses the names of all Indian martyrs from all wars, including 1971 and wars before and after it.

4. Nusantara is the name given to Indonesia’s new capital, which will replace the sinking Jakarta.

Indonesia will relocate its capital to East Kalimantan, a mineral-rich Indonesian province on Borneo’s island. Nusantara, which means “archipelago” in Javanese, will be the name of the new capital. It will be based in the North Penajam Paser and Kutai Kartanegara regions of Indonesia.
The cost of the new project is expected to be over 466 trillion rupiah ($32 billion). The densely populated city of Jakarta, which has a population of 10 million people (30 million if you add the larger metropolitan region), has been grappling with an increasing problem of groundwater usage caused by home drilling as a result of large-scale city expansion.

5. According to a UNCTAD report, FDI flows to India will decrease by 26% in 2021.

According to the Investment Trends Monitor released by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), FDI flows to India declined by 26% in 2021 compared to 2020. FDI into India is expected to reach USD 64 billion in 2020. This was a 27% increase from the USD 51 billion in FDI in 2019.
According to UNCTAD, India’s low FDI is due to the fact that significant cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) agreements that occurred in 2020 were not repeated. From USD 929 billion in 2020, global FDI flows grew by 77% to an expected USD 1.65 trillion in 2021.
