Deposition develops a floodplain just as erosion makes valleys. Floodplain is a major landform of river deposition. Natural levees and point bars are some of the important landforms found associated with floodplains. Natural levees are found along the banks of large rivers. They are low, linear and parallel ridges of coarse deposits along the banks of rivers, quite often cut into individual mounds. Point bars are also known as meander bars. They are found on the convex side of meanders of large rivers and are sediments deposited in a linear fashion by flowing waters along the bank.

There are 3 primary types of Tectonic Plate boundaries: Divergent boundaries; Covergent boundaries; and Transform boundaries.
Divergent Boundaries :At divergent boundaries new crust is created as two or more plates pull away from each other. Oceans are born and grow wider where plates diverge or pull apart.
Convergent Boundaries: Here crust is destroyed and recycled back into the interior of the Earth as one plate dives under another. These are known as Subduction Zones - mountains and volcanoes are often found where plates converge. There are 3 types of convergent boundaries: Oceanic-Continental Convergence; Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence; and Continental-Continental Convergence. (Benioff zone is a deep active seismic area in a subduction zone)
Transform-Fault Boundaries: Transform-Fault Boundaries are where two plates are sliding horizontally past one another. These are also known as transform boundaries or more commonly as faults.
Most transform faults are found on the ocean floor.

Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) is imposed by RBI when total bad loans after provisions have crossed 10 per cent and the bank has reported losses for two consecutive years. Banks like IDBI Bank, Central Bank of India, United Bank of India are facing PCA. By initiating PCA, t he regulator restricts banks from opening new branches, hiring staff and lending to risky borrowers , curb on dividend distribution etc. In worst scenario, the RBI may ask a weak bank to merge with others or wind up.
Due to PCA, the banks will have very restricted lending to conserve capital, which is fast drying up because of NPA provisioning. Many will focus on fee based income or transaction banking where capital is not required.
The act of RBI invoking PAC will impact these PSBs credit rating and also affect their ability to raise capital from the market.
Most of the PSBs that are falling under PAC are small and mid -sized banks with the exception of IDBI Bank. These banks are now a good candidate for merger as they government is very keen on pushing consolidation amongst the PSBs.

Which of the following principles is employed by a gymanst while performing a somersault?
|
Conservation of Rotational Kinetic Energy.
|
Conservation of Mass Moment of Inertia.
|
Conservation of angular momentum.
|
Conservation of Rotational Kinetic Energy.
|
While taking a somersault the gymnast travels in a circular path. Because the gymnast is traveling in a circular path, she experiences angular momentum. Angular momentum is the product of angular velocity and the body's moment of inertia (L=Iω). A moment of inertia (I) is how far the mass is from the center of the axis of rotation. Like linear momentum, angular momentum is conserved. By tucking in her knees, the gymnast brings her mass closer to the center of the axis of rotation, thereby decreasing the moment of inertia. When the gymnast decreases her moment of inertia, her angular velocity increases proportionally. Her increased angular velocity allows the gymnast to complete the rotation.

Star Campaigners: A star campaigner is a celebrity vote seeker in an election for a party. This person can be anyone, a politician or even a film star. There is no law governing who can or cannot be made a star campaigner. They are nominated by the concerned political parties specifying their constituencies and duration of the status. The ECI issues guidelines under the Model Code of Conduct regulating poll campaigns. Numbers of Star Campaigners: A ‘recognized’ National or State party declared as such by the ECI can nominate a maximum of 40-star campaigners. An unrecognized political party can nominate a maximum of 20-star campaigners. Hence statement 1 is not correct. Need For Star Campaigners: The ECI keeps a tab on expenditure incurred by individual candidates during the campaign - Rs. 70 lakh for most states in one constituency by each candidate. Expenditure incurred on electioneering by the star campaigner is not added to a candidate’s poll expenditure giving him/her more scope for expenditure. However, for an individual candidate to get relief from campaign expenditure, the star campaigner has to limit himself to general campaigning for the party. According to the Representation of People’s Act, these expenses will be borne by the political parties. Hence statement 2 is not correct. Prime Minister as Star Campaigner: The MCC guidelines say when a prime minister or a former prime minister is a star campaigner, the expenditure incurred on security including on the bullet-proof vehicles will be borne by the government and will not be added to the election expenses of the party or the individual candidate. However, if another campaigner travels with the prime minister, the individual candidate will have to bear 50% of the expenditure incurred on the security arrangements. Hence statement 3 is not correct. Challenge of Delisting from Star Campaigner List: Section 77 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, which relates to a candidate’s election expenditure, leaves it to the political party itself to decide who its “leaders” are and allows every party to submit a list of such ‘star campaigners’ to the election authorities. As the expenditure on the star campaigners is not included in the expenditure of the candidate concerned, an order of the ECI revoking the star status is actually a withdrawal of the right to campaign without incurring electoral expenditure on the candidates’ account.

Lok Adalat is a forum where the disputes/cases pending in the court of law or at pre-litigation stage are settled/compromised amicably.
The Lok Adalat has been given statutory status under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987.
Under the said Act, the award made by the Lok Adalats is deemed to be the decree of a civil court and is final and binding on all parties and no appeal lies before any court against its award.
Lok Adalat has the jurisdiction to settle, by way of effecting compromise between the parties, any matter which may be pending before any court, as well as matters at pre-litigative stage i.e. disputes which have not yet been formally instituted in any Court of Law. Such matters may be civil or criminal in nature , but any matter relating to an offence not compoundable under any law cannot be decided by the Lok Adalat even if the parties involved therein agree to settle the same. Lok adalats can take cognizance of matters involving not only those persons who are entitled to avail free legal services but of all other persons also, be they women, men, or children and even institutions. The Lok Adalat is presided over by a sitting or retired judicial officer or other person of respect and legal knowledge as the chairman, with two other members, usually a lawyer and a social worker.

The Criminal Procedure Code discusses three kinds of offences as follows: Bailable and non-bailable offences; Bailable offences are those in which the accused has the right to get bail. Non-bailable offences, on the other hand, are those in which the decision to grant bail or not rests with the court. Bailable offences are less serious in nature than non-bailable ones.
Cognizable and non-cognizable offences: Cognizable offences are those in which the police officer can arrest an offender without a warrant. In non-cognizable offences, the police officer cannot arrest without a warrant. Cognizable offences are more serious than non-cognizable ones.
Compoundable and non-compoundable offences: Compoundable offences are those which can be compromised by the parties to the dispute. The permission of the court is not necessary. When an offence is compounded, the party, who has been aggrieved by the offence, is compensated for his grievance. Suppose your car accidentally hits a person on the road and he is injured. Though you may be guilty of rash and negligent driving, you can settle the matter by paying some money to the victim.
Note that only the aggrieved party or the victim may compound an offence. Not even the public prosecutor has the power to compound an offence.

In particular, coral mining, agricultural and urban runoff, pollution (organic and inorganic), overfishing, blast fishing, disease, and the digging of canals and access into islands and bays are localized threats to coral ecosystems. Broader threats are sea temperature rise, sea level rise and pH decrease from ocean acidification, all associated with greenhouse gas emissions. In 1998, 16% of the world's reefs died as a result of increased water temperature. Water temperature changes of more than 1-2 °C (1.8-3.6 °F) or salinity changes can kill some species of coral. Under such environmental stresses, corals expel their Symbiodinium without them coral tissues reveal the white of their skeletons, an event known as coral bleaching. Statement 4 is wrong in itself. With more acidification pH level always decreases. Threats to Coral reef Destructive fishing practices Cyanide fishing, blast or dynamite fishing, bottom-trawling, and muro-ami (banging on the reef with sticks). Overfishing Affects the ecological balance of coral reef communities, warping the food chain and causing effects far beyond the directly overfished population. Careless tourism Pollution Urban and industrial waste, sewage, agrochemicals, and oil pollution are poisoning reefs. These toxins are carried by river systems from sources upstream and dumped directly into the ocean. Increase the level of nitrogen in seawater, causing an overgrowth of algae, which 'smothers' reefs by cutting off their sunlight. Sedimentation Erosion caused by construction (both along coasts and inland), mining, logging, and farming is leading to increased sediment in rivers. Coral mining Live coral is removed from reefs for use as bricks, road-fill, or cement for new buildings. Climate Change Corals cannot survive if the water temperature is too high. Global warming has already led to increased levels of coral bleaching, and this is predicted to increase in frequency and severity in the coming decades.

Further, this classification is based more on their end use, rather than level of production, level of mechanization, export and import etc. (eg. Sand can be a major mineral or a minor mineral depending on where it is used; same is the case for limestone.) The power to frame policy and legislation relating to minor minerals is entirely delegated to the State Governments while policy and legislation relating to the major minerals are dealt by the Ministry of Mines under Union /Central Government.

The President's election is held in accordance with the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote and the voting is by secret ballot. This system ensures that the successful candidate is returned by the absolute majority of votes. A candidate, in order to be declared elected to the office of President, must secure a fixed quota of votes. The quota of votes is determined by dividing the total number of valid votes polled by the number of candidates to be elected (here only one candidate is to be elected as President) plus one and adding one to the quotient.

For the examination, a detail piece of article is given.
The report of the Fourteenth Finance Commission (FFC) was tabled in Parliament yesterday. The government has accepted its far-reaching, indeed radical, recommendations that have the potential to redefine Indian federalism in a long overdue and desirable manner. This piece describes the key recommendations and highlights some of their major implications. It is based on updating assumptions in the FFC report, which is the only source of data used in the numbers presented below. The discussion below, especially the estimates, should be seen as illustrative at best.
Vertical and horizontal devolution
The FFC has increased the amount that the Centre has to transfer to the states from the divisible pool of taxes by 10 percentage points, from 32 per cent to 42 per cent. Its radical nature is indicated by the comparison with the previous two Finance Commissions (FCs) that increased the share going to the states by 1 and 1.5 percentage points, respectively. So, the FFC recommendations represent a ten and six-and-a-half fold increase, respectively relative to the previous two FCs. Had the new share been implemented in 2014-15 (Budget estimates), the Centre’s fiscal resources would have shrunk by about 1.20 lakh crore (0.9 per cent of gross domestic product or GDP). If the comparison were to be in terms of overall (tax plus non-plan grants) devolution, the increase would be roughly comparable to that in tax devolution.
In addition, the FFC has significantly changed the sharing of resources between the states — what is called horizontal devolution. The FFC has proposed a new formula for the distribution of the divisible tax pool among the states. There are changes both in the variables included/excluded as well as the weights assigned to them. Relative to the Thirteenth Finance Commission, the FFC has incorporated two new variables: 2011 population and forest cover; and excluded the fiscal discipline variable.Several other types of transfers have been proposed, including grants to rural and urban local bodies, a performance grant, and grants for disaster relief and reducing the revenue deficit of eleven states. These transfers total approximately 5.3 lakh crore for the period 2015-20.
Uniformly large addition to states’ resources
The impact of FFC transfers to the states needs to be assessed in two ways: gross and “net” FFC transfers will clearly add to the resources of all the states in absolute terms and substantially. They will also increase resources when scaled by states’ population, net state domestic product, or own tax revenues, with the latter connoting the addition to fiscal spending power.
Implementing the FFC recommendations alone would undermine the centre’s fiscal position substantially. The philosophy of the FFC report is that there should be some corresponding reduction in the central assistance to states (CAS, the so-called plan transfers). Thus, greater fiscal autonomy to the states would be achieved both on the revenue side (on account of states now having more resources and more untied resources) and on the expenditure side because of reduced CAS transfers. The exact mechanism for implementation will be discussed in the months ahead but the legally backed schemes as well as flagship schemes that meet core objectives, such as rural livelihoods and poverty alleviation, will be, and need to be, preserved.
The net impact on the states will depend not just on the transfers effected via the FFC, but also the consequential alteration of CAS. Under some simple assumptions about how the latter will be distributed, we find that all states will end up better off than before, although there will be some variation amongst the states.
Increase in progressivity of overall transfers
The FFC transfers have a more favourable impact on the states that are relatively less developed, which is an indication that they are progressive, that is, states with lower per capita net state domestic product (NSDP) are likely to receive on average much larger transfers per capita . The correlation between per capita NSDP and FFC transfers per capita is -0.72 based on some broad assumptions about FFC transfers. This indicates that the FFC recommendations do go in the direction of equalising the income and fiscal disparities between the major states.
In contrast, CAS transfers are only mildly progressive: the correlation coefficient with state per capita GDP (over the last three years) is -0.29. This is a consequence of plan transfers moving away from being formula-based (Gadgil-Mukherjee formula) to being more discretionary in the last few years. Greater central discretion evidently reduced progressivity.
A corollary is that implementing the FFC recommendations would help address inter-state resource inequality: progressive tax transfers would increase, while discretionary and less progressive plan transfers would decline.
Weakening fiscal discipline?
Will FFC transfers lead to less fiscal discipline? There are two reasons to be optimistic. First, in the last few years the overall deficit of the states has been about half of that of the Centre: in 2014-15 (Budget estimates) for example, the combined fiscal deficit of the states was estimated at 2.4 per cent of GDP compared to 4.1 per cent for the Centre. So, on average, states, if anything, are more disciplined than the Centre.
Based on analysing recent state finances, we find that additional transfers toward the states as a result of the FFC will improve the overall fiscal deficit of the combined central and state governments by about 0.3-0.4 per cent of GDP. Moreover, nearly all the state governments have enacted fiscal responsibility legislations (FRLs), which requires them to observe high standards of fiscal discipline such as keeping the deficit low.
Further, as part of the new Centre-state fiscal relations, for example, under the NITI Aayog, mechanisms for peer assessments and mutual accountability could be created, and incentives could be provided for maintaining fiscal discipline. This is becoming routine practice in many federal structures where sovereignty is shared between the members. The FFC recommendations and the consequences they entail offer an opportune time for instituting such mechanisms.
Conclusions
With the caveats noted earlier, the main conclusions are that the FFC has made far-reaching changes in tax devolution that will move the country toward greater fiscal federalism, conferring more fiscal autonomy on the states. This will be enhanced by the FFC-induced imperative of having to reduce the scale of other central transfers to the states. In other words, states will now have greater autonomy both on the revenue and expenditure fronts.
This, of course, is in addition to the benefits that will accrue from addressing all the governance and incentive problems that have arisen from programmes being dictated and managed by the distant central government rather than by the proximate state governments.
To be sure, there will be transitional challenges, notably how the Centre will meet its multiple objectives given the shrunken fiscal envelope. But there will be offsetting benefits: moving from CAS to FFC transfers will increase the overall progressivity of resource transfers to the states. Another is that overall public finances might actually improve by more than suggested by looking at the central government finances alone.
In sum, it is clear that the far-reaching recommendations of the FFC, along with the creation of the NITI Aayog, will radically alter Centre-state fiscal relations, and further the government’s vision of cooperative and competitive federalism.
The necessary, indeed vital, encompassing of cities and other local bodies within the embrace of this new federalism is the next policy challenge, a change that we would like to see.

Moreover, nearly all the state governments have enacted fiscal responsibility legislations (FRLs), which requires them to observe high standards of fiscal discipline such as keeping the deficit low.
Further, as part of the new Centre-state fiscal relations, for example, under the NITI Aayog, mechanisms for peer assessments and mutual accountability could be created, and incentives could be provided for maintaining fiscal discipline. This is becoming routine practice in many federal structures where sovereignty is shared between the members. The FFC recommendations and the consequences they entail offer an opportune time for instituting such mechanisms.
Conclusions
With the caveats noted earlier, the main conclusions are that the FFC has made far-reaching changes in tax devolution that will move the country toward greater fiscal federalism, conferring more fiscal autonomy on the states. This will be enhanced by the FFC-induced imperative of having to reduce the scale of other central transfers to the states. In other words, states will now have greater autonomy both on the revenue and expenditure fronts.
This, of course, is in addition to the benefits that will accrue from addressing all the governance and incentive problems that have arisen from programmes being dictated and managed by the distant central government rather than by the proximate state governments.
To be sure, there will be transitional challenges, notably how the Centre will meet its multiple objectives given the shrunken fiscal envelope. But there will be offsetting benefits: moving from CAS to FFC transfers will increase the overall progressivity of resource transfers to the states. Another is that overall public finances might actually improve by more than suggested by looking at the central government finances alone.
In sum, it is clear that the far-reaching recommendations of the FFC, along with the creation of the NITI Aayog, will radically alter Centre-state fiscal relations, and further the government’s vision of cooperative and competitive federalism.
The necessary, indeed vital, encompassing of cities and other local bodies within the embrace of this new federalism is the next policy challenge, a change that we would like to see.

The Sarasvati River is one of the main Rigvedic rivers mentioned in the Rig Veda and later Vedic and post-Vedic texts. It plays an important role in Hinduism, since Vedic Sanskrit and the first part of the Rig Veda are regarded to have originated when the Vedic people lived on its banks, 10,000 years ago. The goddess Sarasvati was originally a personification of this river, but later developed an independent identity. Hence, 1st statement is correct. The Nadistuti hymn in the Rigveda mentions the Sarasvati between the Yamuna in the east and the Sutlej in the west. Satellite images in possession of the ISRO and ONGC have confirmed that the major course of a river ran through the present day Ghaggar River. Hence, 3rd statement is correct.

A social media giant Facebook tied up with Anil Ambani’s Reliance Communications to bring to India a service that critics globally believe presents a huge challenge to Net neutrality Facebook’s offering, internet.org, unlike in the Airtel example, is free. The stated intention of the social media network is to make available Internet to those who don’t have it. The catch then is in how internet.org has been implemented. In every country where it has been launched — India is the sixth — internet.org offers a preselected bouquet of websites free to subscribers of Facebook’s telecom partner, under a practice dubbed zero-rating.

One such venerable personality is Sant Gadge Baba (1876-1956). This peripatetic mendicant-saint from Maharashtra, one of the greatest modern-day social reformers in India, worked for, and among, the poorest of the poor. (In 2010, the Maharashtra government launched a campaign for clean villages called the Sant Gadge Baba Gram Swachhata Abhiyan.) For 50 long years, from the time he left his home and family in 1905 until his death, he wandered from village to village, from town to town, with a broom in hand, his only other worldly possession being a small earthen pot he used to beg for food. Hence, 1st statement incorrect. Rest all are correct. Baba, an illiterate scholar who studied in the “University of Life”, was a preacher par excellence. He sang bhajans composed by Bhakti saints, Sant Tukaram being his favourite. Cleanliness is godliness, he would retort when some people ridiculed him for mixing bhajans with broom-work. The first thing he did after entering a village was to sweep the streets, especially the streets of “untouchables’ quarters”, singing songs interspersed with his signature slogan, “Gopala! Gopala! Devakinandan Gopala!” (Gopal is another name of Lord Krishna, son of Devaki.) People would join him and very soon the village would wear a clean look. Thereafter, usually after a common, contributory meal that people of all castes and communities ate together, he would gather the villagers for an interactive kirtan session of two-three hours at night.
