There are two methods by which Oil and gas exploration companies (OGECs) can recover their investments and the government can also get their due share (natural monopoly).
Production Sharing Contract - OGECs will develop the oil and gas fields. They will first recover their capital and operating expenditure before sharing the profits with the government.
Revenue sharing contract - OGECs will develop the oil and gas fields. But the revenue will be shared between the government and OGECs from the first batch of production of the oil and gas itself.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas is planning at replacing the controversial production sharing contracts (PSCs) with a revenue-sharing regime or production-linked contracts.
The Rangarajan Committee wanted to junk the current system in which the company recovers its costs before sharing profit with the government. The committee had suggested that the government should graduate to a revenue-sharing model. The regime is seen by many as the root cause of the controversies surrounding Reliance Industries' KG-D6 block and allegations that the company inflated costs.
However, the Vijay Kelkar pane l has recommended the current production sharing regime for oil and gas exploration over the revenue-sharing model. T he oil industry favours this. Their logic: If you want companies to invest in India, which doesn't have loads of oil waiting to be pumped out, the government needs to give good incentives such as cost-recovery.

During the arrival of Gandhiji in India, the INC was far more active in a political sense because it had set up branches in almost all major towns & cities; the Swadeshi Movement (1905) broadened Congress' appeal in the middle classes & saw towering leaders like Tilak, Lajpat Rai, Bipin Chandra Pal-which conveyed their message of their struggle at all-India level. Hence, 1st Statement is incorrect. Ahmedabad Mill Strike was Gandhi's first hunger strike( Fast unto Death) to resolve the issue between the mill owners and the workers over the issue of discontinuation of the Plague Bonus, wherein the workers demanded 35% increase in wages but the owners were willing to only 20% increase in wages.Hence, 2nd Statement is correct. Gandhi's initiatives of Champaran, Ahmedabad and Kheda , though marked him as a nationalist leader. But at the same time , these were localised struggles (Gujarat) and were not carried out at an all-India level. Hence, 3rd Statement is incorrect.

Headline Inflation is a measurement of price inflation that takes into account all types of inflation that an economy can experience. Unlike core inflation, headline inflation also counts changes in the price of food and energy. Because food and energy prices can rapidly increase while other types of inflation can remain low, headline inflation may not give an accurate picture of how an economy is behaving. Headline inflation is more useful for the typical household because it reflects changes in the cost of living, while core inflation is used by central banks because core inflation is less volatile and shows the effects of supply and demand on GDP better. Hence, Option d is correct.

Knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) is the allocation of relatively high-level tasks to an outside organization or a different group in a different geographic location. Examples of KPO include long-term jobs for intellectual, analytical and knowledgeable people within industries such as research and development, financial consultancy and services, business and technical analysis and many others. Hence the off shore call centre doesn’t fall in this category; it is a BPO-Business Process Outsourcing example.

This proposal as embodied in the Ilbert Bill provoked furious protests, especially among the Calcutta (Kolkata) European business community and the Bengal indigo planters, and there was covert sympathy from many officials.
Indian National Congress was not yet formed during the controversy. The bitter controversy surrounding the measure deepened antagonism between British and Indians and was a prelude to the formation of the Indian National Congress the following year.

Ilbert Bill proposed by Lord Ripon in 1883 sought to allow senior Indian magistrates to preside over cases involving British subjects in India.
This proposal as embodied in the Ilbert Bill provoked furious protests, especially among the Calcutta (Kolkata) European business community and the Bengal indigo planters, and there was covert sympathy from many officials.
Indian National Congress was not yet formed during the controversy. The bitter controversy surrounding the measure deepened antagonism between British and Indians and was a prelude to the formation of the Indian National Congress the following year.
