Why Jhelum forms meanders in its youth stage, a feature associated with the mature stage of the rivers?
|
Due to low gradient of flow in its youth stage reducing its Kinetic Energy.
|
Due to large number of pebble rocks present in its path significantly reducing its speed.
|
Due to local base level provided by the erstwhile larger lake.
|
Due to low gradient of flow in its youth stage reducing its Kinetic Energy.
|
Rivers generally form meanders in its mature stage but Jhelum, flowing through the Kashmir valley, forms meanders in its youth stage. About 2 million years ago when the Kashmir valley, surrounded by Great Himalayan Range in north-east and Pir Panjal Range in southeast, was submerged under water. Due to tectonic upliftment of Pir Panjal range, drainage of the region was impounded and a big lake of about 5000 sq km area was formed. Because of endogenic forces, Baramullah Gorge was created and this vast lake was drained through this gorge leaving behind sediments and these deposits are called Karewas. ("Karewa" in Kashmiri means "elevated table-land"). These sediments are of fluvio-lacustrine and glacio-lacustrine in origin and composed of fine silt, clay, sand, gravel etc and also characterised with fossils of mammals ; thickness of about 1300-1400 m. Meanders: Meanders are formed when moving water erodes outer banks whereas inner part of river, having less intensity, deposits silt and sediments which results in a snake-like pattern of the water stream. River Jhelum: So, meanders are formed by Jhelum river due to these local base levels of Karewas , provided by that formerly existing large lake which drained leaving behind finer sediments. It gets silt and sediments to deposit when it is in its upper course or youth stage.

Statement 1 is correct. The pattern of flow of water in a river channel over a year is known as its regime. Statement 2 is correct. The north Indian rivers originating from the Himalayas are perennial as they are fed by glaciers through snow melt and also receive rainfall water during rainy season. The rivers of South India do not originate from glaciers and their flow pattern witnesses fluctuations. The flow increases considerably during monsoon rains. Thus, the regime of the rivers of South India is controlled by rainfall which also varies from one part of the Peninsular plateau to the other.

The female labour force participation rate in India has fallen to 26 per cent in 2018 from 36.7 per cent in 2005. According to the report by Deloitte titled 'Empowering Women & Girls in India for the Fourth Industrial Revolution', 95 per cent or 195 million women are employed in the unorganised sector or are in unpaid work. Some of the major reasons for the same include -: Rising higher educational enrolment of young women Rising higher educational enrolment of young women increases the time spent at acquiring education for the women and hence leads to a reduction in female labour force participation rate. In addition, more educated women are likely to marry more educated men with higher incomes. If family income is high, women would have less incentive to work and consequently withdraw from labour force participation. Hence option 1 is correct. Lack of employment opportunities Women generally have found labour-intensive industries like textiles, footwear, MSMEs etc. as an enabler of employment opportunities. However, with the decline in labour-intensive industries, there has been a consequent decline in female labour force participation rate in India. Hence option 2 is correct. Effect of household income on participation The rising household income and the patriarchal norms of society which confine women to domestic household make the women labour dispensable. Thus, there is less incentive for women to work and consequently withdraw from labour force participation. Hence option 3 is correct.

The Nehru Report confined itself to British India, as it envisaged the future link-up of British India with the princely states on a federal basis. For the dominion it recommended:
Dominion status on lines of self-governing dominions as the form of government desired by Indians. Majority of the committee favoured "dominion status" as the basis of the Constitution and a minority section of it wanted “complete independence” as the basis. Finally "Dominion Status" was recommended. Hence statement 1 is not correct.
Rejection of separate electorates which had been the basis of constitutional reforms so far; instead, a demand for joint electorates with reservation of seats for Muslims at the Centre and in provinces where they were in minority (and not in those where Muslims were in majority, such as Punjab and Bengal) in proportion to the Muslim population there with right to contest additional seats. Hence statement 2 is not correct.
Linguistic provinces.
Nineteen fundamental rights including equal rights for women, right to form unions, and universal adult suffrage.
Responsible government at the Centre and in the province.
Full protection to cultural and religious interests of Muslims.
Complete dissociation of State from religion. Hence statement 3 is correct.

Population is stable in the third stage and not the second stage. Fertility remains high in the beginning of second stage but it declines with time. Improvements in sanitation and health conditions lead to decline in mortality. Because of this gap the net addition to population is high. Statement 3 is correct. In the last stage, both fertility and mortality decline considerably. The population is either stable or grows slowly. The population becomes urbanised, literate and has high technical know how and deliberately controls the family size.

Statement 2 is correct because the land holdings in these regions are small and farmers don’t have much resources for mechanization. In Extensive Commercial Grain Cultivation, the size of the farm is very large, therefore entire operations of cultivation from ploughing to harvesting are mechanised. Statement 3 is correct because in Intensive Subsistence Agriculture, the yield per unit area is high but yield per person is low. In Extensive Commercial Grain Cultivation, there is low yield per acre but high yield per person.

social reforms

On 20th August, 1917 Lord Montague, the Secretary of State for India, made the following declaration in British Parliament: “ The Policy of His Majesty’s government… is that of increasing association of Indians in every branch of administration, and the gradual development of self- governing institutions, with a view to the progressive realization of responsible government in India as an integral part of the British empire. Importance of Montagu's Statement- From now onwards, the demand by nationalists for self-government or Home Rule could not be termed as seditious since attainment of self-government for Indians now became a government policy, unlike Morley's statement in 1909 that the reforms were not intended to give self-government to India.

The statement 1 is correct. The Initiative for Nutritional Security through Intensive Millets Promotion aims to demonstrate the improved production and post-harvest technologies in an integrated manner with cluster approach. Statement 2 is also correct. Millets are mainly grown in regions of low annual rainfall and poor arid soil. It is poor, small, marginal and tribal farmers, who cannot afford costly irrigation practices, depend on cultivation of millets. Hence these farmers benefit from the scheme and have a larger stake in this scheme. Statement 3 is not correct. There is no such provision of encouraging farmers of commercial crops to shift to millet cultivation.

In the context of which of the following do you sometimes find the terms ‘amber box, blue box and green box’ in the news?

|
UNFCCC affairs

WTO affairs

In WTO terminology, subsidies in general are identified by “Boxes” which are given the colours of traffic lights: green (permitted) , amber (slow down — i.e. be reduced) , red (forbidden). In agriculture, things are, as usual, more complicated. The Agriculture Agreement has no Red Box, although domestic support exceeding the reduction commitment levels in the Amber Box is prohibited; and there is a Blue Box for subsidies that are tied to programmes that limit production. The 'amber box': For agriculture, all domestic support measures considered to distort production and trade (with some exceptions) fall into the amber box. The 'green box': In order to qualify for the "green box", a subsidy must not distort trade, or at most cause minimal distortion. These subsidies have to be government-funded (not by charging consumers higher prices) and must not involve price support. The 'blue box': The blue box is an exemption from the general rule that all subsidies linked to production must be reduced or kept within defined minimal ("de minimis") levels. It covers payments directly linked to acreage or animal numbers, but under schemes which also limit production by imposing production quotas or requiring farmers to set aside part of their land. Countries using these subsidies - and there are only a handful - say they distort trade less than alternative amber box subsidies. Currently, the only members notifying the WTO that they are using or have used the blue box are: the EU, Iceland, Norway, Japan, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, and the US (now no longer using the box).

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is designed to comprehensively measure and track hunger globally and by country and region. Calculated each year by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the GHI highlights successes and failures in hunger reduction and provides insights into the drivers of hunger. By raising awareness and understanding of regional and country differences in hunger, the GHI aims to trigger actions to reduce hunger. To reflect the multidimensional nature of hunger, the GHI combines the following four component indicators into one index: Undernourishment : the proportion of undernourished people as a percentage of the population (reflecting the share of the population whose caloric intake is insufficient; Child wasting : the proportion of children under the age of five who suffer from wasting (that is, low weight for their height, reflecting acute undernutrition); Child stunting: the proportion of children under the age of five who suffer from stunting (that is, low height for their age, reflecting chronic undernutrition); and Child mortality: the mortality rate of children under the age of five (partially reflecting the fatal synergy of inadequate nutrition and unhealthy environments).
