The spread of education in society is at the foundation of success in countries that are latecomers to development. In the quest for development, primary education is absolutely essential because it creates the base. But higher education is just as important, for it provides the cutting edge. And universities are the life–blood of higher education. Islands of excellence in professional education, such as Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), are valuable complements but cannot be substitutes for universities which provide educational opportunities for people at large.
There can be no doubt that higher education has made a significant contribution to economic development, social progress and political democracy in independent India. It is a source of dynamism for the economy. It has created social opportunities for people. It is a source of dynamism for the economy. It has created social opportunities for people. It has fostered the vibrant democracy in our polity. It has provided a beginning for the creation of knowledge society. But it would be a mistake to focus on its strengths alone. It has weaknesses that are a cause for serious concern.
There is, in fact, a quiet crisis in higher education in India that runs deep. It is not yet discernible simply because there are pockets of excellence, an enormous reservoir of talented young people and an intense competition in the admissions process. And, in some important spheres, we continue to reap the benefits of what was sown in higher education 50 years ago by the founding fathers of the Republic. The reality is that we have miles to go. The proportion of our population, in the age group 18 – 24, that enters the world of higher education is around 7 per cent, which is only one – half the average for Asia. The opportunities for higher education, in terms of the number of places in universities, are simply not enough in relation to our needs. What is more, the quality of higher education in most of our universities requires substantial improvement.
It is clear that the system of higher education in India faces serious Challenges. It needs a systematic overhaul, so that we can educate much larger numbers without diluting academic standards. This is imperative because the transformation of economy and society in the 21* century would depend, in significant part, on the spread and the quality of education among our people, particularly in the sphere of higher education. It is only an inclusive society that can provide the foundations for a knowledge society.
The challenges that confront higher education in India are clear. It needs a massive expansion of opportunities for higher education, to 1500 universities nationwide, that would enable India to attain a gross enrolment ratio of at least 15 per cent by 2015. It is just as important to raise average quality of higher education in every sphere. At the same time, it is essential to create institutions that are exemplars of excellence at par with the best in the world. In the pursuit of these objectives, providing people with access to higher education in a socially inclusive manner is imperative. The realization of these objectives, combined with access, would not only develop the skills and capabilities we need for the economy but would also help transform India into a knowledge economy and society.

There is, in fact, a quiet crisis in higher education in India that runs deep. It is not yet discernible simply because there are pockets of excellence, an enormous reservoir of talented young people and an intense competition in the admissions process. And, in some important spheres, we continue to reap the benefits of what was sown in higher education 50 years ago by the founding fathers of the Republic. The reality is that we have miles to go. The proportion of our population, in the age group 18 – 24, that enters the world of higher education is around 7 per cent, which is only one – half the average for Asia. The opportunities for higher education, in terms of the number of places in universities, are simply not enough in relation to our needs. What is more, the quality of higher education in most of our universities requires substantial improvement.
It is clear that the system of higher education in India faces serious Challenges. It needs a systematic overhaul, so that we can educate much larger numbers without diluting academic standards. This is imperative because the transformation of economy and society in the 21* century would depend, in significant part, on the spread and the quality of education among our people, particularly in the sphere of higher education. It is only an inclusive society that can provide the foundations for a knowledge society.
The challenges that confront higher education in India are clear. It needs a massive expansion of opportunities for higher education, to 1500 universities nationwide, that would enable India to attain a gross enrolment ratio of at least 15 per cent by 2015. It is just as important to raise average quality of higher education in every sphere. At the same time, it is essential to create institutions that are exemplars of excellence at par with the best in the world. In the pursuit of these objectives, providing people with access to higher education in a socially inclusive manner is imperative. The realization of these objectives, combined with access, would not only develop the skills and capabilities we need for the economy but would also help transform India into a knowledge economy and society.

Read the given passage and answer the question on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage. Kindly note that more than one of the choices may conceivably be the answer of the question. However, you are to choose the most appropriate answer, i.e. the response that most accurately and completely answers the question.
The spread of education in society is at the foundation of success in countries that are latecomers to development. In the quest for development, primary education is absolutely essential because it creates the base. But higher education is just as important, for it provides the cutting edge. And universities are the life–blood of higher education. Islands of excellence in professional education, such as Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), are valuable complements but cannot be substitutes for universities which provide educational opportunities for people at large.
There can be no doubt that higher education has made a significant contribution to economic development, social progress and political democracy in independent India. It is a source of dynamism for the economy. It has created social opportunities for people. It is a source of dynamism for the economy. It has created social opportunities for people.

Should the entire university system in India be modeled on premier institutes, such as IITs and IIMs, providing professional education?
"Islands of excellence in professional education, such as Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), are valuable complements but cannot be substitutes for universities which provide educational opportunities for people at large."
From this, we can infer that the passage states that not all universities should be modeled on these premier institutes. Hence, option (3) is the correct answer.

With reference to the 5G, consider the following statements:
1. The 5G networks will operate in the mm-Wave spectrum.
2. Use of mm-Wave spectrum may result in Out-of-band emission.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
5G is the 5th generation mobile network. It is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks.
(i) The 5G networks will operate in the mm Wave spectrum. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
The mm-Wave spectrum is a particular segment of the radio frequency spectrum that ranges between 24 GHz and 100 GHz.
(i) This spectrum, as the name suggests, has a short wavelength, and is appropriate to deliver greater speeds and lower latencies. This in turn makes data transfer efficient and seamless as the currently available networks work optimally only on lower frequency bandwidths.
The mm- band had been the subject of controversy due to out-of-band emissions into the passive satellite band used for weather satellites at 23.6-24 GHz.
(i) Out-of-band emission is emission on a frequency or frequencies immediately outside the necessary bandwidth which results from the modulation process.
(ii) The level of out-of-band emission can not be reduced without affecting the corresponding transmission of information.

2. It is formed at the divergent boundary where the Pacific Plate subducts under the Indo-Australian Plate.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
The Pacific country of Tonga experienced a large volcanic eruption followed by a tsunami that flooded parts of the capital, Nuku'alofa, which is lies just 65km north of the volcano.
The eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano sent shockwaves across the South Pacific.
Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai is a volcanic island in Tonga, located about 30 km south of the submarine volcano of Fonuafoʻou and 65 km north of Tongatapu, the country's main island.
The volcano is part of the highly active Tonga–Kermadec Islands volcanic arc, a subduction zone extending from New Zealand north-northeast to Fiji.
The island arc is formed at the convergent boundary where the Pacific Plate subducts under the Indo-Australian Plate.
Hence only statement 1 is correct.
With reference to Virat Kohli, consider the following statements:
1. He holds the record for scoring most Test centuries (20) as India captain.
2. He holds the record for most Test wins by an Indian captain.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Virat Kohli has stepped down as the Test captain of the Indian Men's cricket team. The decision comes after the series defeat against South Africa.
Kohli replaced MS Dhoni as the captain of Indian team in 2015 and became the most successful Test captain with 40 wins in 68 matches.
Virat Kohli is the most successful full-time Indian captain in Tests both in terms of number of matches won and in terms of win percentage.
Kohli holds the record for most Test appearances as India Test captain (68) and he also holds the record for most Test wins by an Indian captain (40). Only Graeme Smith, Ricky Ponting, and Steve Waugh have won more matches than Kohli as captain in Test cricket.
Under his dynamic captaincy India became a formidable force and dominated every team at home. He became the first-ever Asian captain to win a Test series in Australia.
Under him, the team reclaimed the top spot in the ICC test rankings, and also qualified for the final of the first ever ICC World Test Championship.

He said that this was a great "techade" for India, where innovation, entrepreneurship and a healthy startup ecosystem will help liberate innovation from government processes and bureaucratic silos.
The Mahotsav which is scheduled from January 10-16, marks the 6th anniversary of India's start-up initiative. The event showcases start-up's across various sectors including Health, Agriculture, Space, Industry 4.0, Science and more.
"More than 150 startups have been divided into six working groups based on themes including Growing from Roots; Nudging the DNA; From Local to Global; Technology of Future; Building Champions in Manufacturing; and Sustainable Development," read the Prime Minister Office (PMO) statement.
Start-up India scheme facilitates bank loans between 1 lakh to 10 crores to at least one scheduled caste and scheduled tribe.
The loan is repayable in 7 years with a maximum moratorium period of 18 months.
Hence both statements are incorrect.
Which of the following are considered as the implications of overuse of Chemical fertilizers?
1. Increase of land and ocean surface temperatures.
2. Soil Acidification
3. Mineral Depletion
Select the correct answer using the codes given below.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that the use of chemical fertilizers will increase the cancer cases by 50 percent, in next 15 years.
In a virtual interaction with farmers of Gujarat, he appealed farmers to adopt natural farming. Mr. Shah said, excess use of chemical fertilizers will lead to increased cancer cases.
He also set a target to encourage 50 per cent of the farmers in his Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency to give up chemical fertilizers and take up natural farming.
He said due to excess use of chemical fertilizers, the soil is slowly turning into barren. He said, the poison has started reaching underground sources of water due to excess use of chemicals.
The natural farming with the use of dung and urine of Indian cow breeds is the only way to restore the productivity of the soil, Mr Shah added.
Implications of overuse of Chemical fertilizers
Increase of land and ocean surface temperatures: Excess nitrogen used in crop fertilization can contribute to the release of greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. This effect is caused by using a greater amount of chemical fertilizer than the plants can readily absorb. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Lab, excess greenhouse gasses trapped in the atmosphere may be contributing to the increase of land and ocean surface temperatures.
Soil Acidification: The overuse of chemical fertilizers can lead to soil acidification because of a decrease in organic matter in the soil. Nitrogen applied to fields in large amounts over time damages topsoil, resulting in reduced crop yields. Sandy soils are much more prone to soil acidification than are clay soils. Clay soils have an ability to buffer the effects of excess chemical fertilization.
Mineral Depletion: There is an increasing concern that continuous use of chemical fertilizers on soil depletes the soil of essential nutrients. As a result, the food produced in these soils have less vitamin and mineral content. According to data produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Nutrient Data Laboratory, foods grown in soils that were chemically fertilized were found to have less magnesium, potassium and calcium content
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
With reference to the World Trade Organization (WTO), consider the following statements:
1. The WTO’s dispute settlement panel had ruled that India, by subsidizing sugar producers, was breaking rules framed under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) which govern international trade.
2. The WTO Appellate Body’s decision will be considered final on the dispute.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
The WTO’s dispute settlement panel had ruled that India, by subsidizing sugar producers, was breaking rules framed under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) which govern international trade.
In 2019, Australia, Brazil, and Guatemala complained against India at the WTO arguing that subsidies offered by the Indian government to sugar producers were against the rules governing international trade.
They argued that these subsidies, which include both domestic subsidies as well as export subsidies, exceed the limits imposed by WTO trade rules.
According to WTO rules, subsidies cannot exceed 10% of the total value of sugar production. These countries believe that subsidies offered by India have led to increased production of sugar and caused the price of sugar to drop significantly in the global market.
After two years, the WTO ruled in December that India’s sugar policy was favouring domestic producers through subsidies to the detriment of foreign producers.
The panel recommended that India withdraw its alleged prohibited subsidies under the Production Assistance, the Buffer Stock, and the Marketing and Transportation Schemes within 120 days from the adoption of this report.
India has stated that the WTO’s dispute panel ruling has made certain “erroneous” findings about domestic schemes to support sugarcane producers and exports and the findings of the panel are completely “unacceptable” to it.
India is the second-largest sugar producer in the world after Brazil and it is estimated that more than 5 crore people depend on the cultivation of sugarcane alone for their livelihood.
The WTO Appellate Body’s decision will be considered final on the dispute.
In case India refuses to comply with the decision, it might have to face retaliatory action from other countries.
This could be in the form of additional tariffs on Indian exports and other stringent measures.
Incidentally, the appellate body of the WTO is not functioning because of differences among member countries to appoint members, and disputes are already pending with it. The U.S. had blocked the appointment of members.
Hence both statements are correct.
With reference to the China and Iran agreement, consider the following statements:
1. It aims to wide-ranging partnerships set to span areas including energy, security, infrastructure and communications.
2. China is Iran’s leading trade partner and was one of the biggest buyers of the country’s oil before then-U.S. president Donald Trump reimposed sweeping unilateral sanctions in 2018.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
China and Iran signed the agreement last year after years of talks, with the wide-ranging partnership set to span areas including energy, security, infrastructure and communications.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian announced the start of the partnership’s implementation at a meeting in east China’s Wuxi.
Few details of the secretive deal have been published, but the New York Times reported in 2020 that it would secure a regular supply of oil for China.
China is Iran’s leading trade partner and was one of the biggest buyers of the country’s oil before then-U.S. president Donald Trump reimposed sweeping unilateral sanctions in 2018.
China has officially stopped importing oil from Iran, but analysts say Iranian crude is continuing to enter the country disguised as imports from other countries.
Beijing has long sought to boost ties with Tehran, with Chinese president Xi Jinping describing Iran as “China’s major partner in the Middle East” on a rare visit to the country in 2016.
Vienna talks
Mr. Wang and Mr. Amir-Abdollahian’s meeting comes as talks continue in Vienna over a potential deal to halt Tehran’s development of nuclear weapons.
A 2015 deal — agreed by Iran, the U.S., China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany — offered Tehran sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its nuclear programme.
But the U.S. withdrew from the agreement in 2018, reimposing biting sanctions and prompting Tehran to begin rolling back on its commitments.
Hence both statements are correct.
