Explanation: All the statements are correct.
Two tiers Panchayati Raj system is in existence in the States/UTs of Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu,
Goa, Lakshadweep, Manipur, Puducherry and Sikkim. As per Article 243 (M) of the Constitution, States of
Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Sixth Schedule Areas and hill areas of Manipur are exempted from application
of Part-IX of the Constitution. J&K has its own Panchayati Raj Act. As per the 73rd Amendment Act of the
Constitution 1992, those states having a population of less than 20 lakhs have an option of not constituting
panchayats at intermediate level.
The state of Arunachal Pradesh exercised that option when, on 15th March 2018, its Legislative Assembly
passed the Arunachal Pradesh Panchayati Raj (Amendment) Bill 2018 to end the Anchal Samiti, the
intermediate level of the existing three-tier panchayati raj system.

• Transitioning from one gravity field to another is difficult. It affects hand-eye and head-eye coordination.
• Due to the isolation of long duration, astronauts may encounter depression, fatigue, sleep disorder
and psychiatric disorders.
• Without gravity, bones lose minerals. Even after astronauts return from a space mission, they could
be at greater risk of osteoporosis-related fractures. If they do not exercise and eat properly, they will
lose muscle strength.
• In space stations, astronauts receive over ten times the radiation than what people are subjected to
on Earth. Radiation exposure may increase the risk of cancer. It can damage the central nervous
system.

Ocean resource management will not be under its activities.
• The Indian Space Research Organisation will set up Satish Dhawan Center for Space Science at the
Central University Jammu (CUJ) to expand its presence to the northernmost state of India.
• The area of space application is of particular interest to Jammu and Kashmir as its economy and
human lives are affected by vegetation cover, forest area, snow, landslides, avalanches, groundwater,
cloud cover, which can be monitored from space through remote-sensing. Also, considering the
recurring natural calamities, the requirement of strengthening ground-based observational
capabilities of this region for weather and atmospheric research is of utmost important.
• This centre will take care of the emerging geospatial and space technology requirements for the
development of the region.
• This centre will have facilities for geospatial data analysis that will help in for sustainable use of
natural resources and planning land-use pattern.
• It will have ground-based observations for atmospheric studies, research lab for astrophysics,
atmospheric sensing and glacier studies lab for better use of the large quantity of water stored in the
form of seasonal snow, ice and glaciers in the rivers of North India.
• Apart from this, disaster management centre will also be set up.
• The establishment of Materials Sciences Lab for space applications would give special focus to
synthesise and design new sensors and materials for space applications.

The Housing Price Indices (HPIs) are a broad measure of the movement of residential property prices
observed within a geographic boundary. The first official housing price index for the country named 'NHB
RESIDEX' was launched in July 2007 by the National Housing Bank (NHB). Over time, the base year has
been revised to FY 2012-13 to ensure capturing the latest information and accurately reflect the current
economic situation in the country. Currently, National Housing Bank is publishing NHB RESIDEX for 50
cities on quarterly basis with FY 2012-13 as the base year. Among 50 cities covered are 18 State/UT
capitals and 37 Smart Cities. NHB is not computing the composite all India housing price index as of now.
Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) is not associated to publish such indices.

Explanation: Statement 1 is wrong in the context of the Bommai case (1994). Statements 2 and 3 are
correct.
In Bommai case (1994), the following propositions have been laid down by the Supreme Court on the
imposition of President's Rule in a state under Article 356:
1. The presidential proclamation imposing President's Rule is subject to judicial review.
2. The satisfaction of the President must be based on relevant material. The action of the president can
be struck down by the court if it is based on irrelevant or extraneous grounds or if it was found to be
malafide or perverse.
3. The burden lies on the Centre to prove that relevant material exist to justify the imposition of the
President's Rule.
4. The state legislative assembly should be dissolved only after the Parliament has approved the
presidential proclamation.
5. The question of the state government losing the confidence of the legislative assembly should be
decided on the floor of the House and until that is done the ministry should not be unseated.

• Cyclotrons are used to produce radioisotopes for diagnostic and therapeutic use for cancer care. Cyclone-
30 is the biggest cyclotron in India for medical application and now it became operational.
• This facility will provide for affordable radio isotopes and related radiopharmaceuticals for the entire
country especially, for Eastern India and also have the export potential for the Germanium-68/Gallium-
68 generator for in-situ production of Gallium-68 and Palladium-103 isotopes, used for breast cancer
diagnosis and prostate cancer treatment, respectively. It will produce radioisotopes vital for diagnosis
and treatment of cancer. It will be the first and only cyclotron facility in the country to produce
Germanium-68 radioisotopes.
• In its future stages, it will also produce Iodine 123 isotopes, which can help detect thyroid cancer.

Explanation: Statement 1 is wrong while statements 2, 3 and 4 are correct.
Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi on 23rd September, 2018 launched Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan
Mantri Jan Aarogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) at Ranchi, Jharkhand. It provides accessible and affordable
healthcare to the common man. This is the "world's largest government-funded healthcare program"
targeting more than 50 crore beneficiaries.
Statement 1 is wrong because 'Ayushman Bharat- Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana' (PMJAY) ensures
a cover of up to Rs. 5 lakhs per family per year, for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization and not for
primary lavel helthcare and not Rs. 5 lakhs per person.
Statements 2, 3 and 4 are correct. It can be understood under the following points:
• Over 10.74 crore vulnerable entitled families (approximately 50 crore beneficiaries) will be eligible
for these benefits.
• This scheme will provide cashless and paperless access to services for the beneficiary at the point of
service.
• When fully implemented, PMJAY will become the world's largest fully government-financed health
protection scheme. It is a visionary step towards advancing the agenda of Universal Health Coverage
(UHC).
Ayushman Bharat is a progression towards promotive, preventive, curative, palliative and rehabilitative
aspects of Universal Healthcare through access of Health and Wellness Centers (HWCs) at the primary
level and provision of financial protection for accessing curative care at the secondary and tertiary levels
through engagement with both the public and private sector. It will avert wage loss and impoverishment.
It will act as an important game changer towards New India 2022.

Apart from Indian National Congress, other parties and groups like Indian Muslim League, Liberal Federation
of India, Hindu Mahasabha and Khilafat Conference also joined the chorus of national condemnation of
Simon Commission. Jinha described it as 'butchery of our soul', while Tej Bahadur Sapru called it 'the
worst challenge to Indian Nationalism. The AITUC in November 1927 took a decision to boycott the Simon
Commission and many workers participated in the massive Simon boycott demonstrations. Not only that,
Lala Lajpat Rai moved a resolution in the Central Legislative Assembly in February 1928. He made an
impassioned speech on that occasion. There were several English men and government officers in the
Legislative. It was known that they would vote against the resolution. Lalaji appealed to the Indian members
thus: "Let the members understand that they are slaves in the eyes of the British Government and of the
world. When they vote on the resolution let them remember that in 1919, because of a single epidemic, six
crore of people died in our country. Let them remember that in this country ten crore of people do not have
even one meal a day." Lalaji moved a resolution in the Central Legislative Assembly, refusing cooperation
with the Simon Commission 'at any stage or in any form'.

Explanation: Option (a) is correct.
Narrow banking, as an option for restructuring weak banks in India, has been a subject of serious debate
and discussion for some time. The suggestion was first made by the Committee on Capital Account
Convertibility, which proposed that 'the incremental resources of these narrow banks should be restricted
only to investments in government securities and in extreme cases of weaknesses, not only should such
banks not be allowed to increase their advances but there would need to be a severe restraint on their
liability growth'.
In a slight variation, narrow banking has also been described as a situation where 'a bank which is weak
should taper down its incremental credit-deposit ratio. This definition gives a little extra room for credit
but all the same is restrictive. It may be noted in this context that weak banks have pursued some form of
narrow banking.

Explanation: Points 1, 2 and 4 are correct while point 3 is wrong.
A disturbed area is one which is declared by notification under Section 3 of the AFSPA. An area can be
disturbed due to differences or disputes between members of different religious, racial, language or regional
groups or castes or communities. The Central Government or the Governor of the State or administrator
of the Union Territory can declare the whole or part of the State or Union Territory as a disturbed area. A
suitable notification would have to be made in the Official Gazette. As per Section 3 , it can be invoked in
places where ‘the use of armed forces in aid of the civil power is necessary’. The Ministry of Home Affairs
would usually enforce this Act where necessary, but there have been exceptions where the Centre decided
to forego its power and leave the decision to the State governments. AFSPA gives armed forces the power to
maintain public order in ‘disturbed areas’. They have the authority to prohibit a gathering of five or more
persons in an area, can use force or even open fire after giving due warning if they feel a person is in
contravention of the law. If reasonable suspicion exists, the army can also arrest a person without a
warrant; enter or search premises without a warrant; and ban the possession of firearms. Any person
arrested or taken into custody may be handed over to the officer in charge of the nearest police station
along with a report detailing the circumstances that led to the arrest.

- means it is not a discretionary power of President. The ordinance can be promulgated only on those
subjects on which Parliament can make laws - means it is co-extensive with the legislative power of the
Parliament.

The movement was a sort of revolt against the increasing communal influence partly of the Nizam's
Government and of the Ittehad-ul-Musalmeen Party. Students of colleges in Hyderabad city organized the

from the Hyderabad colleges left the State and continued their studies in Nagpur University in the Congress-
ruled Central Provinces where they were given shelter by a hospitable Vice-Chancellor. This movement
was extremely significant because it created a young and recolutionary cadre that provided the activists

The North and the South Equatorial currents cause accumulation of water in the Western parts which
disturbs the surface level of water. This difference in level makes the Counter - Equatorial Current flow
eastward. The most important fishing grounds of the world are situated in the region where the warm and
cold oceanic currents meet.
Example:
Kuroshio and Okhotsk Current (Japan), Gulf Stream and Labrador Current (USA).
The currents of the northern Indian Ocean change their direction due to seasonal change in the direction
of the monsoons. The current affected by monsoons is known as the ‘‘Monsoon Drift’’. The southern part of
the Indian Ocean is not influenced by seasonal changes.

Biometric verification is any means by which a person can be uniquely identified by evaluating one or
more distinguishing biological traits. Unique identifiers include fingerprints, retina and iris patterns,
voice waves, DNA and signatures etc.
The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the DNA Technology (Use
and Application) Regulation Bill 2018.
• The primary intended purpose for enactment of "The DNA Technology (Use and Application) Regulation
Bill" is for expanding the application of DNA-based forensic technologies to support and strengthen
the justice delivery system of the country.
• The utility of DNA based technologies for solving crimes and to identify missing persons, is well
recognized across the world.
• By providing for the mandatory accreditation and regulation of DNA laboratories, the Bill seeks to
ensure that with the proposed expanded use of this technology in the country, there is also the
assurance that the DNA test results are reliable and the data remain protected from misuse or abuse
in terms of the privacy rights of our citizens.
• Bill's provisions will enable the cross-matching between persons who have been reported missing on
the one hand and unidentified dead bodies found in various parts of the country on the other, and also
for establishing the identity of victims in mass disasters.
Forensic DNA profiling is of proven value in solving cases involving offences that are categorized as affecting
the human body (such as murder, rape, human trafficking, or grievous hurt), and those against property
(including theft, burglary, and dacoity). The DNA database will bring swift justice to victims of rape and
murder, and resolve cases pertaining to paternity suits.

Explanation: Option (b) is correct.
Recently ISRO has decided to transfer its own lithium-ion cell technology to Indian industries on a non-
exclusive basis for use in automobiles for Rs 1 crore. The initiative will accelerate the development of
indigenous electric vehicle industry.
The Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) located in Kerala will transfer the lithium-ion cell technology
to the successful Indian industries/start-ups on the non-exclusive basis to establish production facilities
in the country that can produce cells of varying size, capacity, energy density and power density catering
to the entire spectrum of power storage requirements.
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) cell technology is one of the most promising electrochemical energy storage technologies
owing to its high voltage, high energy density, long life cycle and high storage characteristics. It finds wide
applications in electronic gadgets, telecommunication and industrial applications as well as in aerospace.
Recent progress in Li-ion battery technology has made it the favourite power source for electric and hybrid
electric vehicles. ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) has successfully developed and qualified
lithium-ion cells of capacities ranging from 1.5 Ah to 100 Ah for use in satellites and launch vehicles.
With the successful deployment of indigenous lithium-ion batteries in various missions of ISRO, VSSC is
planning to transfer this technology to the industries to establish production facilities for producing lithium
ion cells to cover the entire spectrum of power storage requirements of the country.
