Correct
National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) Project:
It is a Mission Mode Project (MMP) comes under the Digital India Programme.
Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs (MoPA) is the ‘Nodal Ministry’ for its implementation in all the 31 States/UTs with Legislatures.
The funding for e-Vidhan is provided by the MoPA and technical support by Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MietY).
The funding of NeVA is through Central Sponsored Scheme. 60:40; and 90:10 for North East & hilly States and 100% for UTs.Aim of the project: To bring all the legislatures of the country together, in one platform thereby creating a massive data depository without having the complexity of multiple applications.
Key features:
Paperless Assembly or e-Assembly is a concept involving of electronic means to facilitate the work of Assembly.
It enables automation of entire law-making process, tracking of decisions and documents, sharing of information.
Through the cloud technology (Meghraj), data deployed can be accessed anywhere at any time.
Himachal Pradesh is already the first Digital Legislature of the country.
State Government will bear the funds required for running of e-Vidhan MMP after 3 years.
State Government/Legislature will undertake maintenance and replacement of ICT equipment after 3 years.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsRecently, US researchers have designed a fully recyclable plastic, Poly (Diketoenamine), or PDK, which can be disassembled into its constituent parts at molecular level. Consider the following statements regarding PDK:
1. The monomers of PDK plastic could be recovered and freed from any compounded additives simply by dunking the material in a highly acidic solution.
2. It can be fully recycled into new materials of any form, shape or colour without any loss of its performance or quality.Which of the given statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Unlike conventional plastics, the monomers of PDK plastic could be recovered and freed from any compounded additives simply by dunking the material in a highly acidic solution.
It can be fully recycled into new materials of any form, shape or colour without any loss of its performance or quality.
Not only does acid break down PDK polymers into monomers, but the process also allows the monomers to be separated from entwined additives.
The new material takes recycling into consideration from a molecular perspective. It means that this recyclable plastic can be disassembled into its constituent parts at molecular level.Incorrect

3. It is the only non-metal element that is a good conductor of electricity.Which of the given statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/drill-for-minerals-on-china-border-arunachal-pradesh-to-gsi/article27138624.ece
Geological Survey of India (GSI) has released a report on graphite reserves in India. About 35 % of India’s total Graphite reserves is found in Arunachal Pradesh. This is the highest found in country.
As per GSI’s 2013 report, Arunachal Pradesh sits on 43% of the country’s graphite resources followed by Jammu & Kashmir (37%), Jharkhand (6%), Tamil Nadu (5%), and Odisha (3%).
About Graphite:
Graphite is a naturally-occurring form of crystalline carbon. It is a native element mineral found in metamorphic and igneous rocks.
It is extremely soft, cleaves with very light pressure, and has a very low specific gravity.
It is the only non-metal element that is a good conductor of electricity.
It is also known as a dry lubricant for its greasy feel.Incorrect
