Q.17) Consider the following about lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery and the batteries used in
Electric Vehicles (EVs).
:
1)The
Li-ion battery won the developers of its foundational principles the Nobel
Prize for chemistry in 2019 — a testament to the revolutionary impact it has
had in the 20th and 21st centuries. This battery is a voltaic as well as an
electrolytic cell. A voltaic cell converts chemical energy to electrical
energy. An electrolytic cell converts electrical energy to chemical energy. A
battery that can do both is thus rechargeable.
2)In
a Li-ion polymer cell, used in smartphones, a lithium metal oxide is the
cathode and graphite is the anode. The electrolyte is a semisolid polymer
gel. Microporous polyethylene is used to separate the two half-cells.
3)The
basics are as follows: in the voltaic phase, lithium oxidises to Li+ in
the anode and releases an electron. The electron moves via the external
circuit to the cathode whereas the Li+ moves via the electrolyte
to the cathode. There, the ion slips between the layers of carbon sheets that
graphite is made of in a process called intercalation. In the electrolytic
phase, an over-voltage is applied to the cell so that it charges and the Li+ moves
from the graphite to intercalate in the metal oxide, getting ready for the
next discharge.
4)Li-ion
batteries are an important research focus worldwide, with a large variety of
batteries with different configurations and different pros and cons. These
batteries can also be used to power EVs. For example, the P85 battery used in
Tesla’s Model S cars consists of 18,650 Li-ion cells, weighing half a tonne
in all with an energy output of 80-90 kWh. Other sources of electric power in
motor vehicles include fuel cells, of which — like Li-ion batteries — there
is a large body of research and variety.
5)Hydrogen fuel cells are also of great interest today. At the anode, a catalyst separates hydrogen into protons
and electrons. The electrons flow through an external circuit and the protons
through the electrolyte – both to the cathode.
At the cathode,
the particles react with oxygen from the air to create heat and water.
A
cell like this will work as long as hydrogen is supplied, and is expected to
be a key component of the hydrogen economy.
6)In
January 2023, the Indian government approved the ₹19,744 crore National
Green Hydrogen Mission to make India a “global hub” to utilise and export
green hydrogen.

the following :
1)The
introduction of Cheetahs in India is being done under Project Cheetah,
the world’s first intercontinental large wild carnivore translocation
project. The cheetah was declared extinct from India in 1952.
2)Under
the scheme, eight Namibian wild cheetahs were introduced on 17 September 2022
in Kuno National Park, Madhya Pradesh. Out of the eight Cheetahs,
there are five female and three male Cheetahs.
3)The
historic reintroduction of Cheetahs in India is part of a long series of
measures for ensuring sustainability and environmental protection. Cheetahs
can help restore open forest and grassland ecosystems in India. This will
help conserve biodiversity and enhance the ecosystem services like water
security, carbon sequestration, and soil moisture conservation, benefiting
society. This effort, in line with the Prime Minister’s commitment to
environmental protection and wildlife conservation, will also lead to
enhanced livelihood opportunities for the local community through
eco-development and ecotourism activities.

63)Consider the following :
1)China’s population declined by 850,000 in 2022, the first
such fall since a nationwide famine in 1961, marking a landmark demographic
shift for the world’s second-largest economy.
2)The National Bureau of Statistics in Beijing on Tuesday said the
national population stood at 1.411 billion at the end of 2022. India will
overtake China as the world’s most populous nation in 2023, according to a UN
report released last year.
3)The number of births in China was 9.56 million, a more than 10%
drop from 2021. The number of deaths was 10.41 million.
4)If the last population drop six decades ago was a result of a
devastating famine caused by Mao Zedong’s failed “Great Leap Forward”
campaign, the current trends reflect changing social values in China as
families choose to have fewer children.
5)Government campaigns over the past decade to boost birth rates — a
U-turn from years of a harsh “one-child policy” — have failed to reverse the
trend. In 2021, Beijing’s family planning authority for the first time
allowed couples to have a third child.
6)The move came five years after a “two-child policy” had been
introduced to boost birth rates. A government survey carried out at the time
of the introduction of the two-child policy found 70% of respondents cited
financial reasons, including costs of education, healthcare and housing, to
not have many children.

1)Consider
the following :
1)Given
the vast amount of work and range of topics, it becomes difficult to examine
all issues in detail in a house of over 500 members.
2)Therefore,
Parliament has constituted several committees, each typically having
20-35 members, to scrutinise various issues and make recommendations to the
full House.
3)These
include financial committees, departmentally related standing committees
(DRSCs), and various other committees such as those looking at privileges and
ethics, setting the daily agenda for the two Houses, and looking at
subordinate legislation.
4)It
may be useful to understand some critical work that committees perform which
would be tough to do in the full House.
5)During
the process of examination of any issue, committees often engage with experts
and stakeholders to understand issues from different perspectives. This
enables Parliament to access external expertise and also to understand the
concerns of people who may be impacted by an issue or a bill.
6)The
committee system also enables MPs to negotiate across conflicting priorities
and positions. This can be seen from the fact that most reports are given a
unanimous vote, though there are a few instances of dissent notes by some
members

32)Consider
the following :
1)Prior
to the decision in Maneka Gandhi case, in 1978, Article 21 of the Constitution of India
was construed narrowly only as a guarantee against executive action
unsupported by law.
2)But
this case opened up a new dimension and laid down that it imposed a
limitation upon law-making as well, that while prescribing a procedure for
depriving a person of his life or personal liberty, it must prescribe a
procedure which is reasonable, fair, and just.
3)The
Supreme Court in its various decisions has stated that Right to
Life, enshrined in
Article 21 means something more than mere survival or
animal existence.
4)Over
the years, human rights jurisprudence has developed allowing the judiciary
the power of judicial review of all legislation in India.
5)The
main object is to secure the paramountcy of the Constitution in regard to
fundamental rights which represent the basic human rights of the people. This
is done by prohibiting the State from making a law which either takes away or
abrogates the part of fundamental rights totally

Question: Right to property
36) Consider the following :
1)The Supreme Court
took a significant step to protect private property from arbitrary
state takeover for a “public purpose”, holding that compulsory acquisition
without following mandatory procedures followed by a grant of compensation to
the owners will not make the accession constitutional.
2)The right to property is protected as a constitutional right
and has even been interpreted to be a human right, a Bench of Justices P.S.
Narasimha and Aravind Kumar declared in a judgment.
3)“It is generally assumed that for a valid acquisition, all
that is necessary is to possess the power of eminent domain [power of the
sovereign to acquire property of an individual for public use without
consent] to acquire, followed by grant of reasonable and fair compensation…
Compulsory acquisition will still be unconstitutional if proper procedure is
not established and followed before depriving a person of his/her right to
property,” Justice Narasimha, who authored the verdict, observed.
4)The judgment upheld a Calcutta High Court order rejecting an
appeal filed by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation defending its acquisition
of private land. The court ordered the corporation to pay ₹5 lakh as costs
within 60 days.
5)The judgment noted
that though the 44th Constitutional Amendment omitted the right to property
as a fundamental right, Article 300A, which was simultaneously inserted into
the Constitution, provided that “no person shall be deprived of his property,
save by authority of law”.
6)A person’s rights, even the history of liberty, have been
safeguarded through the prescription and observance of mandatory procedures
and processes of law. Procedure is an integral part of the “authority of law”
in Article 300A. The phrase “authority of law” in the Article should not be
understood as merely the power of eminent domain vested in the state.
7)The requirement of a ‘law’ in Article 300A does not end with
the mere presence of legislation which empowers the state to deprive a person
of his property, Justice Narasimha clarified.
8)The court laid down seven basic procedural rights of private
citizens which constitute the “real content of the right to property under
Article 300A” that the state should respect before depriving them of their
private property. They include the right to notice or the duty of the state
to inform the person that it intends to acquire his property; the right of
the citizen to be heard or the duty of the state to hear the objections to
the acquisition; the right of the citizen to a reasoned decision or the duty
of the state to inform the person of its decision to acquire property; the
duty of the state to demonstrate that the acquisition is exclusively for
public purpose; the right to fair compensation of the citizen; the duty of
the state to conduct the process of acquisition efficiently and within
prescribed timelines; and finally, the conclusion of the proceedings leading
to vesting or the right of conclusion.
9)“The culmination of an acquisition process is not in the
payment of compensation, but also in taking over the actual physical
possession of the land. If possession is not taken, acquisition is not
complete,” Justice Narasimha laid down the law.

42)Consider the following Dolphins in the Ganga-Ghagra River basin :
1)A
recent publication by scientists and researchers has revealed that 19
Gangetic river dolphins had been rescued from the irrigation canals of the
Ganga-Ghagra basin in Uttar Pradesh between 2013 and 2020.
2)The
publication, “Rescuing Ganges river dolphins (Platanista gangetica)
from irrigation canals in Uttar Pradesh, North India, 2013-2020”, not only
highlights the capture and relocation methods but also describes the
behavioural and demographic details of rescued animals and locations of the
canals where the animals had been trapped.
3)The
paper points out that 24 rescue operations had been conducted from 2013 to
2020 and five dolphins had died.
4)“There
were 19 successful rescue operations and 14 dolphins were identified as
female and 10 as male. The TBL (total body length) of these dolphins was
found to be between 128 cm and 275 cm. The size of male dolphins ranged from
128 cm to 195 cm, whereas the females ranged from 190 cm to 274 cm. Of the
five dolphins that died, three had a length over 243 cm,” the paper said.
5)The
publication said dams and barrages had severely affected this habitat as
dolphins moved into irrigation canals where they were at a risk of injury or
death from a multiple factors, such as rapidly receding waters, heat stroke
and human interferences.
6)The
Ganges river dolphin is in Schedule 1 of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act
1972, Appendix 1 of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered
Species (CITES) and Appendix 1 of the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS).
7)The
species, also considered the national aquatic animal, is listed as
“endangered” on the IUCN Red List.

13)Consider the following :
1)Early
in December,2022 two Members of
Parliament of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Ravi Kishan and Nishikant Dubey, introduced
in the Lok Sabha a private members’ Bill aimed at population
control in India.
2)Stating
that population rise is the most significant reason for India’s slow rate of
development, the Bill argues for an immediate need for population control.
The debate and the discourse around India’s rising population is not recent,
having begun since Independence. India was among the first nations to address
its population problem as early as 1951, raising awareness about the ills of
overpopulation.
3)While
there has been a significant rise in India’s population, there has also been
a sharp decline in India’s total fertility rate (TFR).
4)
In 1950, the TFR was at around 5.9%, and is now 2% (fifth round of the
National Family Health Survey, or NFHS). There was a steep decline after the
1970s, indicating an inversely proportional relationship between economic
prosperity and the fertility rate

44)Consider the following :
1)With the Charter Act of 1833, the Governor
General of Bengal became the Governor General of India.
2)A Central Legislature was created which made
the British supreme rulers of India.
3)The rule of the Company finally ended with the
enactment of the Government of India Act 1858.
4)Consequently, British Crown became the ruler of
India and started administrating our country through its Government
5)The Indian Council Acts of 1861, 1892 and 1909
started giving representation to the Indians in the Viceroy’s Councils.

powers back to some provinces (States).

India Act 1919, Legislative Councils came into existence in all
the States.

with separate Central and State Governments. It was for the first time when people
could elect their own representatives through direct elections. The
Constitution of India later adopted this quasi-federal and bicameral
structure of governance

Government of India Act 1935 was one of the most important events in the
history of the Constitution as this law divided powers of governance into
Federal List, Provincial List, and ConcurrentList.

this division of powers between the Central and State Governments. This act
provided more autonomy of self-governance to the provinces.
