Article 307 of the Constitution provides for the creation of an institution to oversee the operation of the mandate of a common market in the country. What are your views on setting up a Commission/Institution under Article 307 for this purpose?

Storage or reservoir or dam based projects are often conceived as multipurpose projects providing not only power but also irrigation, navigation, drinking water and flood control benefits. At the same time such projects have higher environmental and social externalities. The issue of fair sharing of social and environmental costs and benefits between downstream/command areas and upstream/catchment areas has been a major problem leading to suboptimal utilization of this valuable resource.

What role do you envisage for the Central Government for achieving greater cooperation among the various stakeholders in developing a consensus on such projects?

With the adoption of the National Environment Policy 2006, greater powers have been delegated to the States to grant environmental and forest clearances for infrastructure and industrial projects having investment of upto a specified limit. While one body of opinion is of the view that it will have a harmful effect on ecology and disrupt the fragile equilibrium in our environment, others look upon this as a welcome initiative which will facilitate timely implementation of development projects

Do you think that the existing arrangements are working satisfactorily? How do you think the conflicting interests of development and environmental conservation can be better reconciled?

What was the first social media site?

In the month of May, 1996, the site six degrees was founded by a man named Andrew Weinreich. The site was launched in 1997 and had features such as profiles, friends lists etc. Six degrees had millions of users, but due to the lack of internet connection being available to everyone, connections were limited. Not long after six degrees, the internet moved into an era of blogging and instant messages.

What is 'Spectre of the Broken'?

The spectre of the broken is a very unusual occurrence visible in some mountain areas. This is a strange sight in which a mountaineer sees huge shadows of himself, apparently reflected in the sky before them. It is caused when the sun is low, and the light from it casts a greatly enlarged shadow of anyone or anything before it, onto a bank of mist.

7) Critically evaluate the promise and performance of the forest rights act.
Join @UPSC_2018:It also sought to redress historical injustices meted out to Adivasis and other traditional forest dwellers in the creation of forest estates in the colonial era. FRA recognises 14 types of pre-existing rights of forest dwellers on all categories of forestland, including protected areas. The most significant rights include,

(i) Individual rights over cultivation and homesteads in forestlands, that is individual forest rights (IFRs);

(ii) Community forest rights for use and access to forestland and resources. These include rights to firewood, grazing and other products for subsistence; rights over minor forest products; waterbodies and fishes; rights to access biodiversity; intellectual property and traditional knowledge, etc;

(iii) Community forest resource (CFR) rights to use, manage and govern forests within the traditional boundaries of villages; and

(iv) The empowerment of right-holders and/or gram sabhas for conservation and protection of forests, wildlife, biodiversity, and their natural and cultural heritage.

The FRA is laden with potential to further goals of sustainable development, conservation and democratisation of India’s forests. Critical to realising this potential, however, is the granting of CFR rights (iii above) in combination with conservation and protection rights (iv above). These rights provide a critical opening for establishing community-based forest governance, which we believe is essential for reconciling the goals of forest conservation and local well-being. Community-based forest governance will ensure that forests used by forest dwellers are managed in a way that best meets their livelihood needs, rather than the objectives of the forest department. Moreover, it is much more likely to ensure forest conservation and sustainable use as forest dwellers have a long-term stake in the forest and are best positioned to use their traditional knowledge and proximity to protect and manage the forests.

very little of the potential of the FRA has been achieved. Indeed, most states have not even started recognising CFR rights. Specifically, the data shows that Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand are the states with high potential for CFR rights recognition. Of these high potential states, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh have made no progress. Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, the highest and the third highest potential states, also show little progress in CFR recognition. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Jharkhand, Karnataka and Rajasthan have also recognised very small areas of CFR. The only states with substantial CFR recognition are Maharashtra, Odisha, Gujarat and Kerala.

Some states, which we call “laggard states,” have either not started implementing FRA at all or have barely made a beginning. A surprisingly large number of states fall in this category. Thus, the revolutionary potential of FRA remains largely untapped.

Our primary research shows that the states have prioritised individual rights recognition, for the granting of “land titles” are seen as a populist measure with political benefits.

Forests coming under the authority of gram sabhas are obviously seen as a threat to the forest bureaucracy’s control over critical forest resources. Several studies show that the forest bureaucracy has tried to subvert community rights recognition process

Barely 3% of the estimated potential for CFR rights rights recognition, that is, 2.7 million acres out of 35.6 million acres, has been achieved.

How does wireless Charger work ?

Inductive  charging  (also known as wireless charging) uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects through electromagnetic induction. Energy is sent through an inductive coupling to an electrical device, which can then use that energy to charge batteries or run the device.
