Differentiate between the Economic Territory and Territory within the Geographical – political Boundaries of a country.

Territory within Geographical - political Boundaries : include all the land within the geographic boundaries of a country and its geographic enclaves outside its own enclosed boundaries ( example: India and Bangladesh had isolated enclaves within each others’ geographical boundaries, the issue w.r.t which, we are in the process of resolving). Economic territory ( ET) is more polularly known as the domestic territory of a country. It is an important concept in system of National Income measurement. It largely coincides with the Territory within geographical- political boundaries with some additions and subtractions. So the ET includes Territory lying within the political frontiers, including territorial waters of the country. Ships and aircraft operated by the residents of the country between two or more countries. Fishing vessels, oil and natural gas rigs, and floating platforms operated by the residents of the country in the international waters or engaged in extraction in areas in which the country has exclusive rights of exploitation. Embassies, consulates and military establishments, Scientific Stations, information and immigration offices, Aid Agencies etc. Of the country located abroad. ET excludes the territorial enclaves like embassies, counsulates etc. , as mentioned at iv. above of foreign Governments or International Organisations which are physically located within the geographical boundaries of that country.

What are base rate and Prime Lending Rate? Why RBI is set to replace PLR with Base Rate?

Base Rate is a newlending rate for banks introduced by the Reserve Bank of India, which will replace the existing prime lending rate (PLR). This new rate which is the base rate will be applicable to all loans with a minimum tenure of one year while loans below one year will not be linked to base rates. The base rate of each bank will be calculated based on its cost of deposits. The proposed Base Rate would include those cost elements which can be clearly identified and are common across borrowers. Base Rate would include the card interest rate on retail deposit with one year maturity, interest on regulatory provisioning i.e. Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR), Overhead Cost of banks and capital cost. Actual lending rates charged by banks would be Base Rate + borrowers specific charges which include product specific Operating Cost, Credit Risk premium and tenor premium. PLR: The interest rate that commercial banks charge their most credit-worthy customers. Generallya bank's best customersconsist of large corporations. The prime interest rate, or prime lending rate, is largely determined by the Central bank's rate, which is the rate which banks lend to one another. The prime rate is also important for retail customers, as the prime rate directly affects the lending rates which are available for mortgage, small business and personal loans. why base rate: The apex bank decided to restructure the existing BPLR model as it felt that there was no transparency in the way banks treated top corporate clients and common borrowers. Banks normally lend at much lower rates, as low as 5-6 per cent, to woo corporate borrowers while common borrowers pay a much higher rate.

What are the major ‘Strategy Challenges’ identified by the Planning Commission in the formulation of the 12th Fear Year Plan.

The following "Twelve Strategy Challenges" have been identified by Planning Commission for 12 th FYP. The "strategy challenges" refer to some core areas that require new approaches to produce the desired results. 1. Enhancing the Capacity for Growth Today, India can sustain a GDP growth of 8 percent a year. Increasing this to 9 or 10 percent will need more mobilization of investment resources; better allocation of these resources through more efficient capital markets; higher investment in infrastructure through both public and PPP routes; and more efficient use of public resources. 2. Enhancing Skills and Faster Generation of Employment It is believed that India's economic growth is not generating enough jobs or livelihood opportunities. At the same time, many sectors face manpower shortages. To address both, we need to improve our education and training systems; create efficient and accessible labor markets for all skill categories; and encourage the faster growth of small and micro enterprises. 3. Managing the Environment Environmental and ecological degradation has serious global and local implications, especially for the most vulnerable citizens of our country. How can we encourage responsible behavior, without compromising on our developmental needs? 4. Markets for Efficiency and Inclusion Open, integrated, and well-regulated markets for land, labor, and capital and for goods and services are essential for growth, inclusion, and sustainability. We have many sectors were markets are non-existent or incomplete, especially those which are dominated by public provisioning. How do we create or improve markets in all sectors? 5. Decentralisation, Empowerment and Information Greater and more informed participation of all citizens in decision-making, enforcing accountability, exercising their rights and entitlements; and determining the course of their lives is central to faster growth, inclusion, and sustainability. How can we best promote the capabilities of all Indians, especially the most disadvantaged, to achieve this end? 6. Technology and Innovation Technological and organizational innovation is the key to higher productivity and competitiveness. How can we encourage and incentivize innovation and their diffusion in academia and government as well as in enterprises of all sizes. 7. Securing the Energy Future for India Faster and more inclusive growth will require a rapid increase in energy consumption. Since we have limited domestic resources, how can we meet this need equitably and affordably without compromising on our environment? 8. Accelerated Development of Transport Infrastructure Our inadequate transport infrastructure results in lower efficiency and productivity; higher transaction costs; and insufficient access to our large national market. How can we create an efficient and widespread multi-modal transport network. 9. Rural Transformation and Sustained Growth of Agriculture Rural India suffers from poor infrastructure and inadequate amenities. Low agricultural growth perpetuates food and nutritional insecurities, which also reduces rural incomes. How can we encourage and support our villages in improving their living and livelihood conditions in innovative ways? 10. Managing Urbanization Most of our metros and cities are under severe stress with inadequate social and physical infrastructure coupled with worsening pollution. Migration pressures are likely to increase. How do we make our cities more liveable? What can we do today to ensure that smaller cities and towns are not similarly overwhelmed tomorrow? 11. Improved Access to Quality Education Educational and training facilities have been increasing rapidly. However, access, affordability, and quality remain serious concerns. Employability is also an issue. How can we improve the quality and the utility of our education, while ensuring equity and affordability? 12. Better Preventive and Curative Health Care India's health indicators are not improving as fast as other socio-economic indicators. Good healthcare is perceived to be either unavailable or unaffordable. How can we improve healthcare conditions, both curative and preventive, especially relating to women and children?

Explain the meaning and significance of the Doctrine of Separation of Powers. Also, compare the constitutional status of Separation of Powers in India and the USA. (150 words/10 marks)

Approach Introduction Define the meaning of separation of power. Body Explain the significance of the doctrine of separation of power, Compare with Indias Sop with USA separation of power, Conclude with a way forward or mention any conclusion. Answer The doctrine of separation of powers is based on the tripartite division of powers between the legislature, executive, and Judiciary.The theory is propounded by French philosopher Montesquieu in his seminal work spirit of the law in 1748. Separation of powers in simple terms refers to establishing the three organs defining their functions, no person can be a member of more than one organ. Significance of Separation of power. One great importance of the Separation of power is the decentralization of the powers of government. There are a lot of benefits of decentralization of government control. These include; effective monitoring of the system by each of the division organs of government. It also avoids misuse of power by one person or organ. Separation of powers ensures that government powers are not concentrated in the hands of a single central authority. Separation of powers also creates a harmonious working relationship among the organs of the government. When each unit and subunits of all the organs of the governments are aware of their role and duties Separation of Powers enhances and creates viable and effective government by administrators. Since the functions and responsibilities of the government have been divided, each of the organs is faced with lesser and more specific responsibilities to attend. In India Article 50, states that the state shall take steps to separate the Judiciary from the Executive, to ensure the independence of the Judiciary. As per Articles 122 and 212, the validity of proceedings of the Parliament and State Legislatures respectively cannot be called into question in any court, thus, ensuring immunity of the members from judicial intervention. Comparison between India and USA Framers of the US constitution strictly adhere to rules theory to SOP while in a parliamentary democracy like India there is no water-tight separation and the entire executive is drawn from legislature. Indias Separation of power is marked by checks and balances on each other. In the USA executives are not answerable to question hour, zero hours, etc. The Parliament also undertakes some judicial functions which are in violation of the doctrine of separation of power if it is looked at in the rigid sense. The Executive exercises Legislature’s law-making power under delegated legislation and also while passing ordinances under Articles 123 and 213 of the Constitution. The Parliament has the power to enlarge the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court under Article 138 of the Constitution. Tribunals and other quasi-judicial bodies that are a part of the Executive discharge judicial functions and mostly have a member of the Judiciary. Thus, in India, separation of powers has acquired its own uniqueness with sufficient checks and balances to ensure that no organ of the state exercises arbitrary power.

Sandhya recently completed her B.Com and was extremely excited to be hired for her dream job working for a Public Sector Bank. During her initial days, she began to notice that funds from grants were being mismanaged and misallocated. Some of her co-workers were also using bank property materials, including cars, for personal business.However, Sandhya was most shocked by the hiring practices she witnessed at the office. Applicants to the jobs were supposed to take exams that were invigilated by bank employees. Sandhya began to notice that the invigilators were allowing applicants to cheat on the tests because the applicants had already been chosen for the job. Many of these pre-chosen applicants were friends of current employees.Sandhya reported what she witnessed to Mahesh, the Branch Assistant Manager, who was second-in-command to the Branch Manager. Mahesh told her, You heard nothing, you saw nothing, and you say nothing. Sandhya was absolutely shocked; not only by the corruption, but that it was deliberately being swept under the rug.Sandhya was in a dilemma. She really needed the job to pay off loans, and she loved the actual content of the work she was doing. She was also concerned that it would look bad to leave her first job out in less than a year, as well as tarnish future chances to work in a government organization. On the other hand, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her work environment due to the culture of corruption.1. What are the options available to Sandhya?2. Evaluate each of these options and choose the option you would adopt, giving reasons.

Which of the following statements is not correct?(a) Cripps Mission promised India Dominion Status and a constitution-making body after the War.(b) The Cabinet Mission was sent to India to negotiate the setting up of a national government and to set into motion a machinery for transfer of power.(c) The Cabinet Mission was convinced that Pakistan was not viable and that the minorities’ autonomy must somehow be safeguarded within the framework of a united India.(d) Muslim League never joined the interim goverment formed .

Explanation: Cripps announced that the aim of British policy in India was ‘the earliest possible realization of self- government in India,’ the Draft Declaration he brought with him was disappointing. The Declaration promised India Dominion Status and a constitution-making body after the War whose members would be elected by the provincial assemblies and nominated by the rulers in case of the princely states. So statement 1 is correct With the Congress demand being that the British quit India, the Cabinet Mission went out to India in March 1946 to negotiate the setting up of a national government and to set into motion a machinery for transfer of power. So statement 2 is correct. The Cabinet Mission was convinced that Pakistan was not viable and that the minorities’ autonomy must somehow be safeguarded within the framework of a united India. The Mission Plan conceived three sections, A — comprising Madras, Bombay, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, C.P. and Orissa; B — consisting of Punjab, NWFP and Sind; and C — of Bengal and Assam — which would meet separately to decide on group constitutions. There would be a common centre controlling defence, foreign affairs and communications. Hence, Statement 3 is correct. Interim Government was formed on 2nd September 1946 with Congress members alone with Nehru as de facto head. Considering Jinnah’s ability to unleash civil war, Wavell quickly brought the League into the Interim Government on 26 October 1946 though it had not accepted either the short or long term provisions of the Cabinet Mission Plan and had not given up its policy of Direct Action. So Statement 4 is incorrect.

The Gupta period is termed the Golden age of Indian art and culture. What developments took place during this period in the field of literature, art, and architecture? (10 marks, 150 words)

Approach: We can start with some background of the Gupta age, and how it is perceived by modern historians. We must then cover the achievements of the period in the fields of literature, art, and architecture, as per the order given in the question. After covering relevant aspects, we must conclude with how the events of the Gupta age affected the times after it. Answer: The Gupta Empire arose from the ruins of the Kushana Empire, mainly around Uttar Pradesh. It was founded by Sri Gupta in 275 AD , and it continued till the 6th century AD before being succeeded by various states like Gurjars, Parmars, Chalukya-Parihars, Maukharis, etc.. There is a consensus among historians that the gupta period was the golden age of Indian art and culture. Some major developments in literature during the period: Harisena, the court poet of Samudragupta wrote the Prayag Prahasti in the praise of Samudragupta . It was depicted on the Ashokan Pillar at Prayagraj and it provides vital information about the times of Samudragupta. Sanskrit was believed to be the lingua franca of India during the period. Editing and compilations of religious texts like- Ramayana, Mahabharata, Puranas, Smritis, and Dharmashastras were done. Amarsimha created the Amarkosha which is believed to be the vocabulary of Sanskrit origins. Mathematician Varahamihira dealt with various mathematical concepts in Panchasiddhantika, Brihat Samhita, and Brihat Jataka. The first grammar of Prakrit language was compiled by Vararuchi or Katyayana. The biggest exponent of Gupta period literature Kalidas was one of the Navratnas of the court of Chandragupta Vikramaditya, along with Amarsimha, Varahamihira and Vararuchi. His famous works were Meghdoot, Raghuvamsa, Kumarasambhava, Abhigyan shakuntalam. During the Gupta age, art had also flourished in the forms of: We see a rise in stone carved deities of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain faiths. Mathura, Sarnath, and Gandhar emerged as major centers for sculpting. Many of the famous works of Ajanta and Elephanta caves can be traced to the Gupta period. The sculptures also throw light on the myriad textiles and jewelry used then. Apart from sandstones, terracotta and metal were also used for making sculptures. A large number of coins of different metals, especially gold were minted. They served economical purposes, and they also shed light on the societal conditions prevalent then. For example- Coins on Kumaradevi ( queen of Chandragupta 1) indicate that some women rose to prominent places in the society, coins depicting Samudragupta playing the veena indicate the patronage which music got during the age, man coins showed hunting, practices like Ashwamedha Yagya, etc. The dry fresco painting style was popular at the time, and its examples can be seen in Ajanta caves. The cave paintings of Bodhisattvas like Padmapani, Vajrapani, etc. are particularly famous. Some major achievements in agriculture of the period were: The Mahabodhi temple at Gaya, Bihar is the finest specimen of Gupta architecture. Some other famous temples are Dashavtara temple Deogarh (Jhansi), Laxman temple Sirpur (Chattisgarh), Vishnu Temple at Eran( Madhya Pradesh), etc Cave architecture finesse can be seen at Ajanta, Elephanta, and Udaygiri caves. Despite the multiple achievements befitting of a golden age, the Gupta era was also fraught with the practices of slavery and untouchability as noticed by Fahien in 399 AD. Also despite women being given a share in the property as “Streedhan”, practices of veil and Sati were common. Yet by and large, the secularism, expertise of art, and administration continued to influence many successor kingdoms on the subcontinent and even the south asia.

A large number of coins of different metals, especially gold were minted. They served economical purposes, and they also shed light on the societal conditions prevalent then. For example- Coins on Kumaradevi ( queen of Chandragupta 1) indicate that some women rose to prominent places in the society, coins depicting Samudragupta playing the veena indicate the patronage which music got during the age, man coins showed hunting, practices like Ashwamedha Yagya, etc. The dry fresco painting style was popular at the time, and its examples can be seen in Ajanta caves. The cave paintings of Bodhisattvas like Padmapani, Vajrapani, etc. are particularly famous. Some major achievements in agriculture of the period were: The Mahabodhi temple at Gaya, Bihar is the finest specimen of Gupta architecture. Some other famous temples are Dashavtara temple Deogarh (Jhansi), Laxman temple Sirpur (Chattisgarh), Vishnu Temple at Eran( Madhya Pradesh), etc Cave architecture finesse can be seen at Ajanta, Elephanta, and Udaygiri caves. Despite the multiple achievements befitting of a golden age, the Gupta era was also fraught with the practices of slavery and untouchability as noticed by Fahien in 399 AD. Also despite women being given a share in the property as “Streedhan”, practices of veil and Sati were common. Yet by and large, the secularism, expertise of art, and administration continued to influence many successor kingdoms on the subcontinent and even the south asia.

What are the differences between comets and asteroids? Which type do you think poses more a of a danger in terms of an Earth impact? Explain your reasoning.

The main difference between asteroids and comets is their composition, as in, what they are made of. Asteroids are made up of metals and rocky material, while comets are made up of ice, dust and rocky material. Both asteroids and comets were formed early in the history of the solar system about 4.5 billion years ago. Asteroids formed much closer to the Sun, where it was too warm for ices to remain solid. Comets formed farther from the Sun where ices would not melt. Comets which approach the Sun lose material with each orbit because some of their ice melts and vaporizes to form a tail.

What do you understand byDaylight saving time? Does India need aDaylight saving time?

Daylight saving time ( DST ) or summer time is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months by one hour so that in the evening hours day light is experienced later, while sacrificing normal sunrise times. Typically, users in regions with summer time adjust clocks forward one hour close to the start of spring and adjust them backward in the autumn to standard time.

You are a middle ranked MCD employee, overseeing an anti-encroachment drive in New Delhi in order to broaden a very busy road. Many illegal constructions on the road have been demolished. It was all happening without much protest but when the bulldozer reached near an illegal religious construction, some people belonging to that particular community came out and formed a human chain to stop the demolition. At the same time some people from another religious group came out insisting the immediate demolition of the site. Both groups were about to clash violently. You handled the situation quite well, by pacifying the crowd and calling in enough police force, which was prepared in advance to deal with such a situation, nonetheless, the above incident raises the following serious questions: (a) What kind of Psycho-emotional and attitudinal factors give birth to this religious competitiveness?
