A new-fiscal week dominated by two long arcs. Census 2027 became the country's first digital, self-enumeration census — flagged at the 30 March press conference, formally beginning Houselisting on 1 April, then tracked through Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's own self-enumeration on 3 April; learn the two-phase architecture (HLO Apr–Sep 2026, Population Enumeration Feb 2027, with caste enumeration in Phase II) and the Census Act, 1948 hook. The Strait of Hormuz crisis ran every single day, 31 March to 5 April, as the West Asia energy-and-evacuation response — the recurring entity is the Natural Gas and Petroleum Products Distribution (Pipelines) Order, 2026 under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, the Rs 10/litre excise cut and the diesel/ATF export levies. Two big laws came into force or passed: the Income-tax Act, 2025 (1 April) and the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2026 (79 Acts, 23 Ministries, 784 provisions). Don't skip the rescued recurrers the daily under-published: Mission Mausam / MHEW-DSS surfaced across four days of Earth-Sciences replies, the Eklavya Model Residential Schools and the DAJGUA tribal-saturation programme recurred all week in Tribal Affairs answers, the Project 17A frigate family (Dunagiri delivered, Taragiri commissioned, SAIL steel) tracked across three days, and the National Green Hydrogen Mission green-ammonia agreements anchor the energy-transition story. Read once and you are caught up — Aditya Tiwari Sir.
