The topics covered in the upcoming AWE on 7th January are:

Q.1) Urbanization, their problems, and their remedies.

Question 1)

Question 2)

In India, debate on secularism often degenerates into a polarising polemic from both the sides- its defenders and opponents. In the light of the statement above, discuss the arguments made by the supporters of secularism and problems associated with it. (15 Marks)

Question 3)

Despite the reformative steps taken by the Government, there is still a large scope for improving the efficiencies in the grain management system under the National Food Security Act(NFSA). Elaborate. (15 Marks)

Question 4)

Developing countries are often very vulnerable to exploitation by multinational corporations. They support industrialization but lack of infrastructure is a major limiting factor. Further, without suitable laws and regulations, developing nations are ill-prepared for such endeavours. In their efforts to attract business, these nations often overlook the health and safety violations by the corporations doing business within their borders. Drawn by low-cost labour, new markets, and lower operation costs, corporations have little incentive to address environmental and human risks once they are entrenched. In this situation, there is an imminent threat of disaster. Discuss some feasible strategies to balance economic development and safety and security of people at large in developing countries with special emphasis on India. (15 Marks)
