Direction: Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.

India is the seventh-largest country in the world by geographical area which is located at South Asia. Moreover, India is the second populous country and the second country which gets the most frequent rainfalls. Then why is India experiencing a water shortage? Unfortunately, there is an ecological unbalance on a global scale. India is one of the eight countries which is seriously facing a sharp increase in water crisis that threatens humans, while a huge percentage of the world has no access to sanitation and clean water. The average person only needs 20 or 30 liters of water, while every Indian uses a big amount of water per day for different purposes than they are supposed to. Additionally, overpopulation and pollution have also been a cause of water poverty in India. Therefore, young children under the age of five make up the 75% of 37.7 million people who are affected by water-borne disease (Khurana 2008). The aim of this project was to create three possible solutions, and finally, the most effective solution is recommended. Thus, several ways to deal with the problem of water shortage in India include harvesting rainwater, watershed management, and river interlinking.

India’s economy could contract 7.7 percent in the financial year that ends on March 31, ________ mainly by the coronavirus pandemic and the weeks-long nationwide lockdown to contain the disease, Chief Economic Advisor Krishnamurthy Subramanian has estimated in the Economic Survey 2020-21, tabled in Parliament on Friday. Real GDP growth could be 11 percent in the next financial year, the survey said. 

"Agriculture has remained the silver lining, while contact-based services, manufacturing, and construction sectors were the worst hit by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said the survey. It predicted a V-shaped economic recovery spurred by India's Covid-19 vaccination programme. The survey sees headline inflation moderating going forward: a development that could open up room for the Reserve Bank of India to resume monetary policy easing to complement fiscal measures to support the economy, said a Bloomberg report.

The Economic Survey, presented in Parliament by the finance minister two days before the Union Budget, analyses the trends in agricultural and industrial production, employment, money supply, and other sectors. 

The Union Budget, to be presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday, is expected to increase spending on healthcare, raise levies on a range of imported goods, and likely introduce a Covid-19 cess. "Send me your inputs so that we can see a Budget which is a Budget like never before, in a way. Hundred years of India wouldn't have seen a Budget being made post-pandemic like this," Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told a business summit in December.

According to a report by Greenpeace, 22 out of 30 world’s most-polluted cities are in India. As per recommendations, India requires a minimum of 4,000 air monitoring stations to check air quality. Currently, there are approximately 160 air monitoring stations in India. This implies we have less than 5 percent of the recommended number of air monitoring stations. This inadequacy is a hindrance to policymaking, harming the potential to generate solutions. A base dataset is needed for everything from city planning to new drug development. Air quality monitoring forms the base layer for a number of things, including human health. Like Peter Drucker said: “If you cannot measure it, you cannot solve it”. AI can help solve this problem.

Accurate computation of air quality not only requires combining existing air monitoring infrastructure with satellite data but also factoring in human activities such as traffic, construction, garbage burning, industrial source apportionment, and population density. A feature engineered AI can be designed to utilise the above factors to accurately compute a geospatial interpolation of air quality data. The advantage of such an approach is that it provides a distributed coverage of high spatiotemporal resolution in near real time.

In Delhi, the number of air monitoring stations has increased in recent years. This has provided us with researchbacked sources of air pollution within a few parts of the capital. By understanding the sources of pollution, AI can be further used to track and predict the growth and reduction of air pollution. For example, we could monitor whether an increase in industrial production is directly proportional to air pollution, or a decrease in vehicles is related to a reduction. These decisions could be evaluated by AI, allowing appropriate actions to be initiated. AI can also help in modelling the chemical reactions between pollutants. Algorithms like Atmospheric Transport Modelling System (ATMoS) helps understand PM2.5 concentrations. Additionally, there are advanced algorithms hat help in understanding and predicting smog, haze, visibility, and observe meteorological interventions as well as manage air quality better. That help in understanding and predicting smog, haze, visibility, and observe meteorological interventions as well as manage air quality better. 

Question:

What is causing hindrance in policy making to control air pollution? 

1. Lack in satellite data system

2. Lack in the number of required air monitoring stations 

3. Inaccurate geospatial interpolation 

4. Improper location of air monitoring stations

The impacts of our ever-growing economy have become so___1___ (stark, clear, opaque) and so widespread that they are by any___2___(demented, sane, rough) measure, portents to catastrophe. Whether it’s the fact that Antarctic ice is now melting three times faster than we thought or the unfolding  “biological___3___(destruction, construction, annihilation) ” that has already wiped out 50% of all animals and up to 75% of all insects, or the fact that, in spite of all this, we are pumping out CO2 at record levels, it takes willful ignorance or a blinding ideology to deny the severity of the crisis. This creates a terrible paradox: Economic growth keeps economies stable today, but threatens not just future growth but medium-term social and civilizational___4___(cohesion, solidarity, confusion) and ultimately the very capacity of this biosphere to sustain life. A paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences last year suggested that “the window for effective action is very short, probably two or three decades at most.” And that even this dire___5___(triumph, prediction, plummet) is considered “conservative” by the authors, “given the increasing trajectories of the drivers of extinction.” In terms of practical politics, that means acting immediately, preferably yesterday. Most politicians deal with this___6___(paradox, redux, coarse) by ignoring it. It’s by far the easiest option; one afforded every incentive and reward by this political economy and the beliefs that underpin it. This belief system has been dominant for a long time now. We are, as a society, deeply comfortable with it, which means many of its core___7___(assumptions, beliefs, dearth) are considered unassailable–too obvious to question. The most profound being this idea that growth is always good.

Direction: Read the passage given below and answer the following questions. India’s economy could contract 7.7 percent in the financial year that ends on March 31, ________ mainly by the coronavirus pandemic and the weeks-long nationwide lockdown to contain the disease, Chief Economic Advisor Krishnamurthy Subramanian has estimated in the Economic Survey 2020-21, tabled in Parliament on Friday. Real GDP growth could be 11 percent in the next financial year, the survey said. "Agriculture has remained the silver lining, while contact-based services, manufacturing, and construction sectors were the worst hit by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said the survey. It predicted a V-shaped economic recovery spurred by India's Covid-19 vaccination programme. 

The survey sees headline inflation moderating going forward: a development that could open up room for the Reserve Bank of India to resume monetary policy easing to complement fiscal measures to support the economy, said a Bloomberg report. The Economic Survey, presented in Parliament by the finance minister two days before the Union Budget, analyses the trends in agricultural and industrial production, employment, money supply, and other sectors. The Union Budget, to be presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday, is expected to increase spending on healthcare, raise levies on a range of imported goods, and likely introduce a Covid-19 cess. "Send me your inputs so that we can see a Budget which is a Budget like never before, in a way. Hundred years of India wouldn't have seen a Budget being made post-pandemic like this," Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told a business summit in December. 

Which is one of the sectors that is not affected by COVID-19 pandemic according to economic survey?

1. Contact-based services 

2. Manufacturing

3. Construction sectors 

4. Agriculture 

5. None of the above
