Kalaripayattu is the traditional martial arts form of Kerala . It came into prominence when the local warriors found their weapons ineffective against the Portuguese ones. The British promulgated a ban on Kalaripayyatu in 1804 to suppress the guerilla model revolt of Pazhassi Kerala Varma. Some gurus practised this art in the interior villages of Malabar and those who learned from them such as Kottakkal Kanaran Gurukkal preserved it for posterity. The credit for preserving and transmitting the tradition during the twentieth century mainly goes to Sreedharan Nair and Chambadan Veetil Narayanan Nair. Gatka is a traditional martial art form, that is historically associated with the Sikh gurus and is popular among the masses in Punjab . It is believed to have originated when sixth Sikh guru Hargobind adopted ‘ Kirpan ’ for self defense during Mughal era and tenth Guru Gobind Singh made it compulsory for everyone to use the weapon for self defense. The form which was earlier confined to gurudwaras, nagar kirtans and akharas , finds presence in the sports category after the formation of Gatka Federation of India (GFI) in 2008 and is now played by trained Gatka players at the national level. Raibenshe is a folk martial dance form which evolved from ancient martial art practised by the bodyguards of the kings and the zamindars of Bengal . As performers were originally soldiers, Raibenshe was originally danced with spears and the dance form is characterised by vigorous body movements and balancing acts. Along with the energetic and masculine movements, it involves acrobatics by the dancers with a Raibansh , which is the long bamboo pole from which the dance takes its name.

Forbearance is a temporary postponement of mortgage payments. It is a form of repayment relief granted by the lender or creditor in lieu of forcing a property into foreclosure. Forbearance provides the borrower time to repay delinquent mortgage sums. This is advantageous to the struggling borrower, but offering forbearance also benefits the loan owner, such as a bank, which frequently loses money on foreclosure after paying the fees associated with the process. But a prolonged forbearance policy can be associated with negative consequences. ADVERSE IMPACT OF FORBEARANCE ON BANK PERFORMANCE AND LENDING Undercapitalization of Banks: A policy of prolonged forbearance has the effect of overstating the actual capital and creating a false sense of security. Viewed differently, forbearance lets undercapitalized banks operate without raising capital. Thus, forbearance could impact banks adversely. Ever-greening of Loans: One way of ever-greening loans is lending a new loan to a borrower on the verge of default, near the repayment date of an existing loan, to facilitate its repayment. Such transactions go undetected as banks are not required to disclose them, unlike restructurings that warrant disclosures. Forbearance resulted in increased lending to firms with poor fundamentals and higher lending to inefficient projects and a larger part of the credit seems to have been used to keep dead loans alive by ever-greening. Weakening of Corporate Governance in Borrowers benefitting from forbearance: The forbearance regime witnessed a significant increase in credit supply to corporates with poor operating metrics and a simultaneous decrease in their investment-to-debt ratio. This suggests that the increased credit supply was not used productively by firms. this credit was instead diverted for the private benefit of the incumbent management. Deterioration in performance of borrowers benefiting from forbearance: As a consequence of the weakened governance, the impacted firms’ performance deteriorated. Firms benefitting from restructuring during the forbearance regime, on average, turned loss-making. Increased defaults by borrowers benefitting from forbearance: Subsequent to the deterioration in their fundamentals, restructured firms in the forbearance window also witnessed a decrease in their credit ratings. the average credit rating for a firm deteriorated by 7.7% upon restructuring during the forbearance regime. The forbearance regime also accompanied an increase in defaults by restructured firms when compared to a decrease in the same in the pre-forbearance era. restructuring in the pre-forbearance era seems to have helped distressed and defaulting borrowers repay their debt and undo their defaulter tag. However, firms benefitting from restructuring during the forbearance window, on average, started defaulting more. Hence, option (a) is correct.

Raja Ravi Varma an Indian painter best known for uniting Hindu mythological subject matter with European realist historicist painting style . He was one of the first Indian artists to use oil paints . In addition to incidents in Hindu mythology, Varma painted many portraits of both Indians and British in India. Varma adapted Western realism to pioneer a new movement in Indian art. Varma was the first Indian to use Western techniques of perspective and composition and to adapt them to Indian subjects, styles, and themes. ”In 1894 he set up a lithographic press in order to mass-produce copies of his paintings as oleographs, enabling ordinary people to afford them. That innovation resulted in the tremendous popularity of his images, which became an integral part of popular Indian culture thereafter. NOTE: Lithographic printing is where the image of the content you want to produce is placed on a plate which is then covered in ink and used for printing. This process can be used to print on paper, cardboard and many other materials Though his portraits brought him fame, Varma increasingly painted subjects in Indian mythology. His representations of Hindu gods and goddesses and characters in the epics and the Puranas reflected his absorption in Indian culture. His paintings, including Harischandra in Distress, Jatayu Vadha, and Shri Rama Vanquishing the Sea, captured dramatic moments from Indian mythology. His depictions of Indian women drew such appreciation that a beautiful woman would often be described as looking “as if she had stepped out of a Varma canvas. Jaimini Roy: Initially he experimented with Kalighat paintings but found that it has ceased to be strictly a "patua" and went to learn from village patuas. Consequently, his techniques as well as subject matter was influenced by traditional art of Benga. lHe is an Indian artistic whose contribution led to the emergence of modern art in India. Roy changed style from his academic Western training, and featured a new style based on Bengali folk traditions. Amrita Shergil :was an eminent Hungarian-Indian painter. She has been called "one of the greatest avant-garde women artists of the early 20th century" and a "pioneer" in modern Indian art. She first gained recognition at the age of 19, for her oil painting titled Young Girls (1932). Abanindranath Tagore : was the principal artist and creator of the "Indian Society of Oriental Art". He was also the first major exponent of Swadeshi values in Indian art , thereby founding the influential Bengal school of art, which led to the development of modern Indian painting.

The TRP or Target Rating Point is the metric used by the marketing and advertising agencies to evaluate this viewership. In India, the TRP is recorded by the Broadcast Audience Research Council using Bar-O-Meters that are installed in televisions in selected households. As on date, the BARC has installed these meters in 44,000 households across the country. Audio watermarks are embedded in video content prior to broadcast. These watermarks are not audible to the human ear, but can easily be detected and decoded using dedicated hardware and software. As viewing details are recorded by the Bar-O-Meters, so are the watermarks. Hence statement 1 and 2 are correct. The BARC releases weekly TRP results every Thursday ranking all TV channels and TV programmes. Hence statement 3 is not correct.

In India, the TRP is recorded by the Broadcast Audience Research Council using Bar-O-Meters that are installed in televisions in selected households. As on date, the BARC has installed these meters in 44,000 households across the country. Audio watermarks are embedded in video content prior to broadcast. These watermarks are not audible to the human ear, but can easily be detected and decoded using dedicated hardware and software. As viewing details are recorded by the Bar-O-Meters, so are the watermarks. Hence statement 1 and 2 are correct. The BARC releases weekly TRP results every Thursday ranking all TV channels and TV programmes. Hence statement 3 is not correct.##Topic:National Unclassified##Subject:Chemistry##Answer:a

Suppose resources are to be used for production of cotton and corn. If more of the resources are used in the production of corn, less resources are available for the production of cotton and vice versa. Therefore, if we want to have more of one of the goods, we will have less of the other good. Thus, there is always a cost of having a little more of one good in terms of the amount of the other good that has to be forgone. This is known as the opportunity cost of an additional unit of the goods

Which of the following are features of a centrally planned economy? 1. Central authority plans all the important activities in an economy 2. Central authority may decide to produce goods or services required. 3. Market organizes all economic activities which are set by the government Select the correct answer using the codes given below.

|
1 and 2 only
|
In a centrally planned economy, the government or the central authority plans all the important activities in the economy. All important decisions regarding production, exchange and consumption of goods and services are made by the government. The central authority may try to achieve a particular allocation of resources and a consequent distribution of the final combination of goods and services which is thought to be desirable for society as a whole. For example, if it is found that a good or service which is very important for the prosperity and well-being of the economy as a whole, e.g. education or health service, is not produced in adequate amount by the individuals on their own, the government might try to induce the individuals to produce adequate amount of such a good or service or, alternatively, the government may itself decide to produce the good or service in question. In a different context, if some people in the economy get so little a share of the final mix of goods and services produced in the economy that their survival is at stake, then the central authority may intervene and try to achieve an equitable distribution of the final mix of goods and services
Statement 3 reflects feature of a market economy and not a centrally planned economy and hence it is incorrect.

This is some mcq of UPSC standerd ##Question:Which of the following are features of a centrally planned economy? 1. Central authority plans all the important activities in an economy 2. Central authority may decide to produce goods or services required. 3. Market organizes all economic activities which are set by the government Select the correct answer using the codes given below.##Option_A: 1 and 2 only###Option_B:1 and 3 only##Option_C: 1, 2 and 3##Option_D: 1 and 2 only##Answer:a##Explaination:
In a centrally planned economy, the government or the central authority plans all the important activities in the economy. All important decisions regarding production, exchange and consumption of goods and services are made by the government. The central authority may try to achieve a particular allocation of resources and a consequent distribution of the final combination of goods and services which is thought to be desirable for society as a whole. For example, if it is found that a good or service which is very important for the prosperity and well-being of the economy as a whole, e.g. education or health service, is not produced in adequate amount by the individuals on their own, the government might try to induce the individuals to produce adequate amount of such a good or service or, alternatively, the government may itself decide to produce the good or service in question. In a different context, if some people in the economy get so little a share of the final mix of goods and services produced in the economy that their survival is at stake, then the central authority may intervene and try to achieve an equitable distribution of the final mix of goods and services
Statement 3 reflects feature of a market economy and not a centrally planned economy and hence it is incorrect.

In economics, we try to analyze the different mechanisms and figure out the outcomes which are likely to result under each of these mechanisms. We also try to evaluate the mechanisms by studying how desirable the outcomes resulting from them are. Often a distinction is made between positive economic analysis and normative economic analysis depending on whether we are trying to figure out how a particular mechanism functions or we are trying to evaluate it. In positive economic analysis, we study how the different mechanisms function, and in normative economics, we try to understand whether these mechanisms are desirable or not.

Traditionally, the subject matter of economics has been studied under two broad branches: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. Microeconomics deals with: The behaviour of individual economic agents in the markets for different goods and services How prices and quantities of goods and services are determined through the interaction of individuals in these markets. The level of total output in the economy How is the total output determined Are the resources of the economy (eg labour) fully employed Reasons behind the unemployment of resources Macroeconomics, on the other hand, deals with: Total output, Employment and aggregate price level. Thus, instead of studying the different markets as is done in microeconomics, in macroeconomics, we try to study the behavior of aggregate or macro measures of the performance of the economy.

An allocation of the scarce resource of the economy gives rise to a particular combination of different goods and services. Given the total amount of resources, it is possible to allocate the resources in many different ways and, thereby achieving different mixes of all possible goods and services. The collection of all possible combinations of the goods and services that can be produced from a given amount of resources and a given stock of technological knowledge is called the production possibility set of the economy.

The colonial government never made any sincere attempt to estimate India’s national and per capita income.
Some individual attempts which were made to measure such incomes yielded conflicting and inconsistent results. Among the notable estimators — Dadabhai Naoroji, William Digby, Findlay Shirras, V.K.R.V. Rao and R.C. Desai. So statement 1 is correct.
It was V.K.R.V.Rao whose estimates of the national and per capita incomes during the colonial period were considered very significant, and not that of Dadabhai Naoroji. Dadabhai Naoroji is famous for his "drain of wealth" theory. So statement 2 is not correct .

Consider the following statements regarding Monopoly in the market.

Statement 1 is Correct. A market structure in which there is a single seller is called monopoly. The conditions hidden in this single line definition, however, need to be explicitly stated. A monopoly market structure requires that there is a single producer of a particular commodity; no other commodity works as a substitute for this commodity. And for this situation to persist over time, sufficient restrictions are required to be in place to prevent any other firm from entering the market and to start selling the commodity.
Statement 2 is Correct. In order to examine the difference in the equilibrium resulting from a monopoly in the commodity market as compared to other market structures, we also need to assume that all other markets remain perfectly competitive. In particular, we need (i) that the market of the particular commodity is perfectly competitive from the demand side ie all the consumers are price takers; and (ii) that the markets of the inputs used in the production of this commodity are perfectly competitive both from the supply and demand side. If all the above conditions are satisfied, then we define the situation as one of monopoly in a single commodity market.

The features of a capitalist economy are: Two-class system: Historically a capitalist society was characterized by the split between two classes of individuals--the capitalist class, which owns the means for producing and distributing goods (the owners) and the working class, who sell their labor to the capitalist class in exchange for wages. The economy is run by the individuals (or corporations) who own and operate companies and make decisions as to the use of resources. But there exists a “division of labor” which allows for specialization, typically occurring through education and training, further breaking down the two class system into sub-classes (eg the middle class). A capitalist economy accepts that income polarity is a reality in order to motivate high performers to develop new ideas and products for personal gain. Hence, statement 1 is not correct. Profit motive: Companies exist to make a profit. The motive for all companies is to make and sell goods and services only for profits. Companies do not exist solely to satisfy people's needs. Even though some goods or services may satisfy needs, they will only be available if the people have the resources to pay for them. Hence, statement 2 is correct. Minimal government intervention: Capitalist societies believe markets should be left alone to operate without government intervention. However, a completely government-free capitalist society exists in theory, only. A purely capitalist society would allow the markets to set prices based on demand and supply for the purpose of making profits. Hence, statement 3 is correct. Competition: True capitalism needs a competitive market. Without competition, monopolies exist and instead of the market setting the prices, the seller is the price setter, which is against the conditions of capitalism. Willingness to change: The last characteristic of capitalism is the ability to adapt and change. Technology has been a game changer in every society and the willingness to allow change and adaptability of societies to improve inefficiencies within economic structures is a true characteristic.

Statement 1 is incorrect. In a socialist society the government decides what goods are to be produced in accordance with the needs of society. It is assumed that the government knows what is good for the people of the country and so the desires of individual consumers are not given much importance. The government decides how goods are to be produced and how they should be distributed. In principle, distribution under socialism is supposed to be based on what people need and not on what they can afford to purchase. Statement 2 is incorrect. Factors of production are owned only by the government. Strictly, a socialist society has no private property since everything is owned by the state. Statement 3 is incorrect. Since public sector is the sole owner as well as producer with no private players, there will be lesser competition which results in lower efficiency.

Statement 1 is incorrect. Restriction on imports and restrictions on entry of foreign companies to India leads to lesser competition for domestic players and lesser choice for the consumers. The Indian consumers will have to purchase whatever the Indian producers produce. Statement 2 is correct. Because of lesser competition, domestic players have greater incentive to sell their goods at higher price. Statement 3 is correct. This policy by ways of tariffs and quotas helps domestic industries compete against foreign players. Statement 4 is incorrect. As a result of protectionism, import of goods are restricted. This results in lesser imports and thus helps in saving of precious forex reserve.

The average poverty gap in the population as a proportion of the poverty line is known as:
|
Sen Index
|
Poverty Gap Index
|
Squared Poverty Gap
|
Sen Index
|
The average poverty gap in the population as a proportion of the poverty line is known as Poverty Gap Index. The Squared Poverty Gap Index determines the degree of poverty for a given area. This method squares the poverty gap for each individual/household, and thus puts more emphasis on observations that fall far short of the poverty line rather than those that are closer.The Squared Poverty Gap Index is very similar to the Poverty Gap Index because it also weights the poor based on how poor they are. The difference between them is that the shortfalls of people below the poverty line are squared giving the very poor much more weight than those falling only a few cents short of the poverty line. The GII is an inequality index. It shows the loss in potential human development due to disparity between female and male achievements in two dimensions, empowerment and economic status, and reflects a country's position relative to normative ideals for the key dimension of women's health. Sen (1976) has proposed an index that sought to combine the effects of the number of poor, the depth of their poverty, and the distribution of poverty within the group. The Sen Index can be written as the average of the headcount and poverty gap measures, weighted by the Gini coefficient of the poor.

Worker-population ratio is an indicator which is used for analysing the employment situation in the country. This ratio is useful in knowing the proportion of population that is actively contributing to the production of goods and services of a country. To know the worker-population ratio for India we divide the total number of workers in India by the population in India and multiply it by 1000. The National Sample Survey (68th Round) results indicate that the worker population ratio for rural India is greater than that of urban India. Hence statement 1 is wrong. The National Sample Survey (68th Round) results indicate that the worker population ratio for females in rural sector was 24.8 in 2011-12. In Urban sector, the ratio is 14.7 for females. Thus statement 2 is wrong.

1 only
|

Workers who own and operate an enterprise to earn their livelihood are known as self-employed. Thus the Cement shop owner is self-employed. Statement 1 is correct.
Construction workers are only casually employed till the construction work is completed. After the completion of construction work they are dispersed thus they are casual workers. Hence statement 2 is wrong
The phrase ' casual worker ' is often used to describe workers who are not part of the permanent workforce, but who supply services on an irregular or flexible basis, often to meet a fluctuating demand for work.

This is some mcq of UPSC standerd ##Question:Which of the following pairs is/are correctly matched? Employment Type of worker 1. Cement Shop owner self employed 2. Construction Worker Regular salaried worker 3. Carpenter Casual Worker##Option_A: 1, 2, 3 and 4###Option_B: 1 only ##Option_C: 1 and 3 only##Option_D: 1, 2, 3 and 4##Answer:c##Explaination:
Workers who own and operate an enterprise to earn their livelihood are known as self-employed. Thus the Cement shop owner is self-employed. Statement 1 is correct.
Construction workers are only casually employed till the construction work is completed. After the completion of construction work they are dispersed thus they are casual workers. Hence statement 2 is wrong
The phrase ' casual worker ' is often used to describe workers who are not part of the permanent workforce, but who supply services on an irregular or flexible basis, often to meet a fluctuating demand for work. Carpenter is not salaried worker. He does not get monthly salary .His remuneration is dependent on the availability of work thus he is a casual worker. Hence statement 3 is correct.

According to census, "Work" is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or without compensation, wages or profit. Such participation may be physical and/or mental in nature. Work involves not only actual work but also includes: effective supervision and direction of work; part time help or unpaid work on farm, family enterprise or in any other economic activity; and cultivation or milk production even solely for domestic consumption. Hence only 1 and 3 can be classified as a worker as per Indian census classification. Women working as a part time worker in a family enterprise without any wages. Though they are not earning any remuneration but they are engaged in an economic activity thus they are considered as a worker. Women who are bringing woods from Forest for self cooking purposes are not considered worker since they are not doing any economic activity. If they have been cooking food for selling purpose than they would be considered as worker. 16 year old adolescent working in family owned tea stall is involved in an economic activity thus he is considered as a worker. 70 year old man watering the community Park without any remuneration is not a worker, since he is watering the Park as a social service. He is not engaged in an economic activity. A professional gardener watering park and who is also paid for it can be considered a worker, since he is not doing social service and there is an economic angle involved in it.

A fertiliser is a natural or artificial substance containing chemical elements (such as Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K)) that improve growth and productiveness of plants. There are 3 basic fertilisers in India - Urea, DAP and Muriate of Potash (MOP). About Fertiliser Subsidy: The government pays a subsidy to fertiliser producers to allow farmers to buy fertilisers at below-market rates. The difference between the cost of production/ import of a fertiliser and the actual amount paid by farmers is the subsidy portion borne by the government. Subsidy on Urea: In India, urea is the most produced, imported, consumed and physically regulated fertiliser of all. It is subsidised only for agricultural uses. The Centre pays a subsidy on urea to fertiliser manufacturers on the basis of cost of production at each plant and the units are required to sell the fertiliser at the government-set Maximum Retail Price (MRP). Hence statement 1 is correct. Subsidy on Non-Urea Fertilisers: The MRPs of non-urea fertilisers are decontrolled or fixed by the companies. But the government has, in recent times, and especially with the global price surge post the Russia-Ukraine war, brought these fertilisers under the control regime. All Non-Urea based fertilisers are regulated under Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) Scheme. Hence statement 2 is correct. Examples of non-urea fertilisers - DAP and MOP.

Statement 1 is correct: It has been observed that the yields from organic farming are less than modern agricultural farming in the initial years. Therefore, small and marginal farmers may find it difficult to adapt to large scale production. Statement 2 is correct: Organic produce may also have more blemishes and a shorter shelf life than sprayed produce. Statement 3 is incorrect: In general, organic farming requires more manual and physical control of weeds and other cultivation techniques. Hence it is labour-intensive (required more labour force). Moreover choice in production of off-season crops is also quite limited in organic farming.

Statement 1 is correct: Rapid expansion of the banking system had a positive effect on rural farm and non-farm output, income and employment, especially after the green revolution — it helped farmers to avail services and credit facilities and a variety of loans for meeting their prodution needs.
Statement 2 is incorrect: The present study revealed that 40 per cent of the borrowers have repaid 25 to 50 per cent of loan. Only 5 per cent, borrowers have been repaid above 70 per cent of agriculture loan. 17.5 per cent of borrowers were found to be defaulters. 60 per cent of the respondents attributed that high level of crop failure would translate to lower income to them. It was their major difficulty in meeting loan obligation and hence the higher incidence of loan defaults.

The primary motive of the colonial government behind economic policy of de- industrialising India was two-fold. The intention was, first, to reduce India to the status of a mere exporter of important raw materials for the upcoming modern industries in Britain and, second, to turn India into a sprawling market for the finished products of those industries so that their continued expansion could be ensured to the maximum advantage of their home country — Britain.
So, statement 1 is correct.
Another significant drawback of the new industrial sector was the very limited area of operation of the public sector. This sector remained confined only to the railways, power generation, communications, ports and some other departmental undertakings.
So, statement 2 is incorrect.
The most important characteristic of India’s foreign trade throughout the colonial period was the generation of a large export surplus . But this surplus came at a huge cost to the country’s economy. Several essential commodities—food grains, clothes, kerosene etc. — became conspicuous by their acute scarcity in the domestic market. Furthermore, this export surplus was used to make payments for the expenses incurred by an office set up by the colonial government in Britain, expenses on war, again fought by the British government, and the import of invisible items, all of which led to the drain of Indian wealth.
So, statement 3 is correct.

The agricultural sector (not industrial sector) was already saddled with surplus labour and extremely low productivity. Traditional handicraft industy was collapsed due to import of cheap machine made products from Britain. New modern industry was not in position to compensate the situation of unemployment so large chunk of population forced to work in agriculture sector resulting into surplus labour.
So, statement 1 is incorrect.

Various details about the population of British India were first collected through a census in 1881. Though suffering from certain limitations, it revealed the unevenness in India’s population growth. Subsequently, every ten years such census operations were carried out. The various social development indicators were also not quite encouraging.
The overall literacy level was less than 16%. Out of this, the female literacy level was at a negligible low of about 7%. As per the census of 2011, the over all literacy rate stand at 74.04% while female literacy rate is 65.46%. Life expectancy was also very low—32 years in contrast to the present 68 years.
So, statement 1 is correct.
Public health facilities were either unavailable to large chunks of population or, when available, were highly inadequate. Consequently, water and air-borne diseases were rampant and took a huge toll on life.
No wonder, the overall mortality rate was very high and in that, particularly, the infant mortality rate was quite alarming—about 218 per thousand in contrast to the present(2013) infant mortality rate of 40 per thousand.
So, statement 2 is correct.
Before 1921, India was in the first stage of demographic transition. The second stage of transition began after 1921. However, neither the total population of India nor the rate of population growth at this stage was very high.
So, statement 3 is also correct.
