Ananya Das answered |
Option B is the correct answer because the passage clearly states that the main theme of the 9th World Convention on Recycling and Waste Management is "Advocating Waste Disposal and Recycling Practices for Clean and Green Environment". This is mentioned in the second paragraph of the passage.
The passage also states that the conference will provide a platform for leading scientists, researchers, and scholars from around the world to present their research related to the theme of the conference. Additionally, young researchers and students will have the opportunity to present their research through oral presentations, which can lead to collaboration among young researchers.
Therefore, the theme of the conference is focused on promoting waste disposal and recycling practices for a cleaner and greener environment, and the conference aims to bring together researchers, scientists, and scholars to present their research related to this topic.
Passage - The report, progress on household drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (2000-2017): Special focus on inequalities, is the most recent publication by the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme, which tracks global progress in achieving the water and sanitation portion of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- The 17 SDGs aim is to “end poverty in all its forms everywhere” by 2030. Goal 6 calls for universal access to safe and adequate access to drinking water and sanitation services.
- According to the new report, progress has been made since 2000, yet billions of people are still underserved. The report delineates between access to basic services, which has greatly improved, and access to “safely managed” services, which is inadequate in many parts of the world. Only about 45 per cent of the global population has access to safely- managed sanitation services. In 2017, an estimated 673 million people continued to openly defecate, most of them in 61 “high burden” countries where the practice remained common among more than 5 per cent of the population.
- To qualify as being “safely managed”, drinking water must meet three criteria: be accessible on the premises, be available for at least 12 hours per day, and be free from E. coli, arsenic, or fluoride contamination. Sanitation is considered safely managed when facilities are not shared with other households, and waste is safely treated on-site or at an off-site facility.
- In 2017, an estimated 5.3 billion people had access to safely-managed drinking water. Of that number, 1.4 billion used basic services, 206 million used limited services, 435 used unimproved sources, and the remaining 144 million relied on untreated surface water.
- Poor and rural populations are at the greatest risk of being left behind. In 2017, urban access to basic drinking water services was at 97 per cent, while rural coverage was at 81 per cent.
- In terms of sanitation, an estimated 2.1 billion people gained access to basic services between 2000 and 2017, but 2 billion remain without access.
- The report also focuses on improvements in eliminating open defecation. Between 2000 and 2017, the global rate of open defecation fell from 21 percent to 9 per cent.
Q. Which type of water is considered as safely managed and drinking water?- a)Free from harmful substances

Efficient Means to Reduce Landfill Area:
Sorting of Waste:
- One efficient means to reduce landfill area is by sorting waste into different categories such as recyclables, organic waste, and non-recyclables.
- Sorting waste allows for the proper disposal of recyclable materials, which can be processed and reused instead of being dumped in landfills.
Recycling or Composting Waste:
- Recycling or composting waste is another effective way to reduce landfill area.
- By recycling materials such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal, we can prevent them from ending up in landfills and instead use them to create new products.
- Composting organic waste helps in reducing the amount of biodegradable waste that goes to landfills, as it can be transformed into nutrient-rich compost for gardening and agriculture.
Both (i) and (ii):
- By combining the practices of sorting waste and recycling/composting, we can significantly reduce the amount of waste that is sent to landfills.
- This not only helps in conserving valuable landfill space but also contributes to a cleaner and greener environment by promoting sustainable waste management practices.

Core Slogan Raised by Dr. Ambedkar
Dr. Ambedkar's core slogan can be summarized as promoting self-awareness amongst the oppressed. This was a key theme in his work and activism.
Explanation
- Self-awareness amongst the oppressed: Dr. Ambedkar believed that the first step towards empowerment and liberation for the marginalized communities, especially the untouchables in India, was to raise their self-awareness. He emphasized the importance of education, self-respect, and self-reliance among the oppressed.
- Open revolt: While Dr. Ambedkar advocated for social reform and equality, his approach was not centered around open revolt or violence. Instead, he believed in using constitutional means to bring about change and fight against oppression.
- Pacification of the untouchables: Dr. Ambedkar's goal was not to pacify or appease the untouchables, but to empower them to assert their rights and demand equal treatment in society.
- Revolt of the oppressors: Dr. Ambedkar's focus was more on uplifting the oppressed communities rather than promoting a revolt of the oppressors. He believed in addressing systemic injustices through education, legal reforms, and social movements.
In conclusion, Dr. Ambedkar's core slogan of promoting self-awareness amongst the oppressed reflects his commitment to empowering marginalized communities through education, self-respect, and social reform rather than advocating for open revolt or pacification.
Passage - The report, progress on household drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (2000-2017): Special focus on inequalities, is the most recent publication by the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme, which tracks global progress in achieving the water and sanitation portion of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- The 17 SDGs aim is to “end poverty in all its forms everywhere” by 2030. Goal 6 calls for universal access to safe and adequate access to drinking water and sanitation services.
- According to the new report, progress has been made since 2000, yet billions of people are still underserved. The report delineates between access to basic services, which has greatly improved, and access to “safely managed” services, which is inadequate in many parts of the world. Only about 45 per cent of the global population has access to safely- managed sanitation services. In 2017, an estimated 673 million people continued to openly defecate, most of them in 61 “high burden” countries where the practice remained common among more than 5 per cent of the population.
- To qualify as being “safely managed”, drinking water must meet three criteria: be accessible on the premises, be available for at least 12 hours per day, and be free from E. coli, arsenic, or fluoride contamination. Sanitation is considered safely managed when facilities are not shared with other households, and waste is safely treated on-site or at an off-site facility.
- In 2017, an estimated 5.3 billion people had access to safely-managed drinking water. Of that number, 1.4 billion used basic services, 206 million used limited services, 435 used unimproved sources, and the remaining 144 million relied on untreated surface water.
- Poor and rural populations are at the greatest risk of being left behind. In 2017, urban access to basic drinking water services was at 97 per cent, while rural coverage was at 81 per cent.
- In terms of sanitation, an estimated 2.1 billion people gained access to basic services between 2000 and 2017, but 2 billion remain without access.
- The report also focuses on improvements in eliminating open defecation. Between 2000 and 2017, the global rate of open defecation fell from 21 percent to 9 per cent.
Q. What is the percentage of population which has access to sanitation services?- a)45%
- b)22%
- c)15%

Saikat Chawla answered |
According to the report mentioned in the passage, about 45% of the global population has access to "safely managed" sanitation services. "Safely managed" sanitation services are defined as facilities that are not shared with other households, and waste is safely treated on-site or at an off-site facility. It is not mentioned in the passage what percentage of the population has access to basic sanitation services, which may be different from the percentage of people with access to safely managed services.
Passage1. The UN’s 2017 International Year tells that sustainable tourism is an important tool for development, most importantly in poor communities and countries. Today sustainability (environmental, social, and economic) is increasingly recognised as the benchmark for all tourism businesses. As noted by the UN World Tourism Organisation, 57% of international tourist arrivals will be in emerging economies, by 2030. The various ‘Tourism Terms’ are defined as follows: (Table 67)
2. Based on data collected by a survey by Travel Bureau, the following market profile of an ecotourist was constructed– - Age: 35–54 years old, although age varied with activity and other factors such as cost. Gender: 50% female and 50% male, although clear differences based on activity were found.
- Education: 82% were college graduates, a shift in interest in ecotourism from those who have high levels of education to those with less education was also found, indicating an expansion into mainstream markets.
- Household composition: No major differences were found between general tourists and experienced ecotourists.
- Party composition: A majority (60%) of experienced ecotourism respondents stated they prefer to travel as a couple, with only 15% stating they preferred to travel with their families, and 13% preferring to travel alone. (experienced ecotourists = Tourists that had been on at least one ‘ecotourism’ oriented trip.)
- Trip duration: The largest group of experienced ecotourists- (50%) preferred trips lasting 8-14 days.
- Expenditure: Experienced ecotourists were willing to spend more than general tourists, the largest group (26%).
- Important elements of the trip: Experienced ecotourists top three responses were: (a) wilderness setting, (b) wildlife viewing, (c) hiking/trekking.
- Motivations for taking next trip: Experienced ecotourists top two responses were (a) enjoy scenery/nature, (b) new experiences/places.

Importance of Wild and Untouched Surroundings to Ecotourists
Ecotourists prioritize wild and untouched surroundings for several reasons:
- **Environmental Conservation**: Ecotourists are typically nature lovers who value pristine environments. They seek out destinations that are untouched by human development to minimize their impact on the natural ecosystem.
- **Authentic Experience**: Ecotourists are drawn to places where they can experience nature in its purest form. They want to see wildlife in their natural habitats and explore landscapes that have been left undisturbed.
- **Personal Connection**: Being in wild and untouched surroundings allows ecotourists to feel a deeper connection to nature. It provides them with a sense of peace and tranquility that is hard to find in more developed areas.
- **Education and Awareness**: By immersing themselves in wild and untouched surroundings, ecotourists can learn about different ecosystems and the importance of conservation. This first-hand experience can inspire them to become more environmentally conscious in their daily lives.
Overall, wild and untouched surroundings play a crucial role in the ecotourism experience, offering travelers a chance to connect with nature, support conservation efforts, and gain a deeper understanding of the natural world.

He resumed his studies at the London School of Economics and kept his terms at Gray’s Institute of Law.

Passage - The report, progress on household drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (2000-2017): Special focus on inequalities, is the most recent publication by the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme, which tracks global progress in achieving the water and sanitation portion of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- The 17 SDGs aim is to “end poverty in all its forms everywhere” by 2030. Goal 6 calls for universal access to safe and adequate access to drinking water and sanitation services.
- According to the new report, progress has been made since 2000, yet billions of people are still underserved. The report delineates between access to basic services, which has greatly improved, and access to “safely managed” services, which is inadequate in many parts of the world. Only about 45 per cent of the global population has access to safely- managed sanitation services. In 2017, an estimated 673 million people continued to openly defecate, most of them in 61 “high burden” countries where the practice remained common among more than 5 per cent of the population.
- To qualify as being “safely managed”, drinking water must meet three criteria: be accessible on the premises, be available for at least 12 hours per day, and be free from E. coli, arsenic, or fluoride contamination. Sanitation is considered safely managed when facilities are not shared with other households, and waste is safely treated on-site or at an off-site facility.
- In 2017, an estimated 5.3 billion people had access to safely-managed drinking water. Of that number, 1.4 billion used basic services, 206 million used limited services, 435 used unimproved sources, and the remaining 144 million relied on untreated surface water.
- Poor and rural populations are at the greatest risk of being left behind. In 2017, urban access to basic drinking water services was at 97 per cent, while rural coverage was at 81 per cent.
- In terms of sanitation, an estimated 2.1 billion people gained access to basic services between 2000 and 2017, but 2 billion remain without access.
- The report also focuses on improvements in eliminating open defecation. Between 2000 and 2017, the global rate of open defecation fell from 21 percent to 9 per cent.
Q. Which country has the least accessibility to basic drinking water?- a)Europe and North America
- b)Sub-Saharan Africa

Access to Basic Drinking Water Services:
Sub-Saharan Africa has the least accessibility to basic drinking water services. This region faces challenges in providing safe and adequate drinking water to its population.
Reasons for Low Accessibility:
- Limited infrastructure: Many areas in Sub-Saharan Africa lack proper infrastructure for water supply and sanitation.
- Poverty: High levels of poverty in the region make it difficult for people to access clean drinking water.
- Conflict and instability: Some countries in the region are affected by conflict and instability, which hinders efforts to improve water and sanitation services.
- Climate change: Climate change has led to water scarcity in some parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, further impacting access to drinking water.
Impact of Low Accessibility:
- Health risks: Lack of access to clean drinking water increases the risk of waterborne diseases, leading to poor health outcomes.
- Economic burden: Communities without access to clean water often spend significant time and resources fetching water from unsafe sources, impacting productivity and economic development.
- Gender inequality: Women and girls are disproportionately affected by the lack of access to clean water, as they are usually responsible for water collection.
Efforts to Improve Accessibility:
- International aid: Various organizations and governments are working to improve access to clean drinking water in Sub-Saharan Africa through funding and support.
- Infrastructure development: Projects are underway to build water supply systems and sanitation facilities in underserved communities.
- Community engagement: Involving local communities in decision-making and implementation of water and sanitation initiatives can lead to sustainable improvements.
By addressing the challenges and implementing effective solutions, it is possible to increase access to basic drinking water services in Sub-Saharan Africa and improve the overall well-being of its population.
