EMQ Paper 14

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.

47)Consider 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.

EMQ Paper 22

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.

(b) 2 and 3 
(c) 1 and 3 
(d) None

Answer. a

 

 

 

EMQ Paper  24

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

EMQ Paper  24

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

EMQ  Paper 47

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.

EMQ Paper 14   Ganga – Ghaghra

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
