What is the issue over AN Seamount?

• India applied to the International Seabed Authority (ISA) for rights to explore two vast tracts in the Indian Ocean.

• Sri Lanka has laid claim to it under a different set of UNCLOS laws.

What is special about this Seamount?

• The Afanasy Nikitin Seamount (AN Seamount) is a mineral-rich underwater feature located in international waters (beyond any country's exclusive economic zone).

• It's believed to contain valuable resources like cobalt, nickel, manganese, and copper.

India, Sri Lanka, and China have competing interests in a mineral-rich region of the Indian Ocean seabed.


The Underlying Issue

• Continental Shelf Claims: Sri Lanka might be attempting to claim the AN Seamount as part of its extended continental shelf.

This is a developing story, hence more information is awaited.

But can India or Sri Lanka mine in the deep sea?

Ever get distracted by random thoughts while studying?

I found a simple yet effective solution during my UPSC journey, where focus is key. A 50-rupee investment in a bundle of notepads was a game-changer for me. Keep one beside you while studying. Whenever a 'must-do' thought interrupts, jot it down. It signals your brain: 'I'll handle it later,' letting you refocus on your studies.

Pro tip: Clearing your mind this way keeps priorities in check, ensuring your study time is productive.

Life is uncertain, but learn to make the most of it.
The postponement of prelims can either make you or break you, so be very cautious.
