Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option B: Nuclear medicine infrastructure. Maharashtra approved the High-Energy Medical Cyclotron Project (HEMCP) in Nagpur with an estimated investment of ₹300 crore. The HEMCP will function as a Radiopharmaceutical Innovation Hub for producing medical radioisotopes used in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Radioisotopes produced by cyclotrons are essential for PET-CT scans, nuclear medicine procedures, and targeted cancer therapies. A cyclotron is a particle accelerator that generates short-lived radioactive isotopes for medical applications. The project will be implemented by Mahacare through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) under the Companies Act, 2013. Nagpur was selected due to its central location, enabling healthcare coverage across parts of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. Maharashtra Rural Drinking Water Policy 2026 supports the objectives of Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0 and focuses on sustainable rural water supply systems. The policy proposes household water tariffs of ₹150–₹400 per month and introduces SCADA systems, GIS dashboards, and digital monitoring of water assets.
