| 2 | Ans.) India had made a pledge to reach 50% of its energy generation through renewable energy sources under Panchamrit and that has been achieved 5 years before targeted year of 2030.
The steps taken are
- Establishing solar energy corporation of India for auctioning of both wind and solar energy.
- Promoting financing through India Renewable Energy Development Agency.
- Accelerated depreciation benefits and tax rebate upto 30% was provided initially for first 7 years to encourage solar energy.
- Training solar mitra as technicians to support rural areas by establishing support
- Govt has increased import duty on solar panels and photo voltaic cells which has increased production capacity by 300% in both in last 3 years.
- India has been a founder member of International Solar Mission to promote solar energy in agriculture and in underdeveloped countries.
- Govt has introduced SIGHT to promote green hydrogen production with a budget of ₹19400 crores
- SHANTI bill to promote expansion of nuclear energy in India.
- Provision of ₹3000 crore in budget to develop compressed bio gas.
This has resulted in total renewable energy capacity of 283 GW by June 2026 and India is on track of achieving 500gw capacity by 2030. | 2 402 |

| 5 | Ans14.) Irrigation subsidy in India is mainly given by state governments. It is given in form of canal irrigation, micro irrigation and ground water irrigation. Maximum subsidy is on ground water irrigation. Total subsidy is estimated at more than ₹2 trillion.
The objectives are to improve farm productivity, improve crop diversification and enhance farmer's income.
However there are multiple challenges observed in it, they are
- Excessive extraction of ground water which reduces water table drastically
- It has been bad for poor farmers as rich farmers can dig deeper borewells.
- Large subsidy burden on govt which restricts its ability to do capital expenditure
- Discouraged crop diversification as farmers use irrigation to grow rice and sugarcane even in drier regions
- Environmental degradation with soil erosion and excessive leaching
- Large burden on electricity discoms as they bear the subsidy bill whdn state government delays reimbursement.
Thus govt should do reforms by investing in promotion of rain water harvesting systems, rejuvenation of local sources of irrigation, promoting micro irrigation and encouraging farmers to grow right type of crops according to afro climatic conditions. | 3 610 |
| 6 | Ans13.) Fertilizer subsidy has been introduced in India from 1978 and currently the subsidy bill is more than ₹1.8 trillion. In the last 5 years it has been more than ₹10 trillion. The objective is to improve farm productivity, increase farmer's income, reduce cost of production and promotion of crop diversification.
However certain challenges observed in fertilizer subsidy are
- it has discouraged crop diversification as people have used more fertilizer to grow wheat and rice even in regions not agro climatically suitable
- Excessive use of water
-, it has led to ecological degradation with salination, leaching etc
- it has increased interfarmer inequality as it is favourable for large farmers
- There has been diversion of urea by smuggling and for industrial use
- Wastage of fertilizer as farmers try maximizing its use than optimization
- Over marketing of fertilizer leading to excessive use which reduces soil carbon content.
Thus govt has tried following steps to rationalize it
- PM PRANAM scheme to provide state govt with 50% amount of subsidy saved for Capex
- One nation one fertilizer to control excessive marketing
- Introduction of pilot project focusing on dbt to replace fertilizer subsidy
- Introducing nano fertilizers to control usage.
- Promotion of natural farming and organic farming to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers.
- Introduction of Adhar enabled identification in provision of subsidised fertilizers.
- Neem coating of urea to reduce diversion to industrial use.
Thus govt has taken steps to rationalize and reduce subsidy but real impact on productivity will be felt only when there is improvement of extension service, improved R&D and farmer's support with modern equipments | 3 279 |
| 7 | Ans12.) Msp was introduced in India with spread of green revolution to protect the farmers in case of sudden fall in price which could lead to losses. It is meant to recover the cost of production. From 2017, govt has put a formula that MSP should be 1.5 times (A2 + Fl). It is provisioned on 22 crops in India along with FRP on sugarcane.
The benefits of MSP are
- Provides assured income to the farmers
- Reduces farmer's dependence on money lenders and traders for working capital.
- Encourages crop diversification if given properly with right incentive
- Assures safety for farmers during distress.
It is given through procurement via APMC markets.
However the challenges observed in it are
- open procurement policies on wheat and rice have led to lack of crop diversification
- Environmental degradation due to excessive use of chemical inputs
- No incentive for farmers to cut cost
- Collusion among traders deprives farmers of msp on the ground.
- It has discouraged institutional reforms
- It has increased inequality both among farmers and among regions as large farmers and better off states are well placed to take the benefit.
- High govt subsidy without corresponding benefits as according to Shanta Kumar Committee report, not even 10% farmers get MSP.
Hence it is now needed that MSP should be gradually supported by other measures like infrastructure investment, supply chain development, institutional reforms and extension service to the farmers to assure a developed India with productive agriculture. | 4 030 |
| 8 | Ans11) India has gradually made a transition from being an economy with shortage in agricultural products to one with surplus and thus there is an important need to promote agricultural marketing support for reducing wastage and assuring regular supply.
The challenges of agricultural marketing are
- Poor crop protection reflected in loss of 10%-12% crops just after harvest.
- Lack of proper connectivity to the market
- Poor infrastructure of APMC markets, with poor storage and drying facilities.
- Collusion by traders who deprive farmers of better price
- Lack of opportunity for farmers to sell elsewhere outside APMC.
- Lack of warehousing and depository receipt facility on a large scale.
These can be resolved by
- Encouraging state govt to invest in APMC markets and strengthen their infrastructure.
- Promoting storage facility near the field to protect crops from destruction
- Enhanced connectivity to markets by improving scope of pm gram sadak yojana.
- Promoting e commerce in agriculture
- Developing supply chain through contract farming
- Amending essential commodities act to assure that warehousing can be developed
- Using NAFED, SAFED & TRIFED to promote procurement of multiple crops
- Encouraging large scale investments in post harvest infrastructure.
Thus a complete overhauling of agricultural marketing infrastructure will assure higher returns for farmers through increased productivity and lesser cost for buyers, making it easier to achieve the goal of Viksit Bharat. | 5 026 |
| 9 | Document from Vibhas Jha | 5 488 |
| 10 | Ans10.) Sustainable development implies that development policies of current generation should not compromise the development prospects of future generations. Lack of sustainable development takes place due to
- poor choice of agriculture practice like choosing wrong crops not suitable for agroclimatic region
- Poor laws and regulations for protecting environment
- Lack of modern technology where outdated technology leads to pollution
- Not controlling emissions due to old machines
- Poor waste treatment facilities which leads to effluent discharge.
The large projects are not necessarily detrimental to environment. The negative impact they have had need to be corrected by the efforts to improve them. For example a large infrastructure project like road development can create short term disruption but it can reduce emissions in the long run. However certain projects like large dams can do irreversible damage and thus more care should be taken in their implementation.
Thus a balance is needed in development of projects and protection of ecology. | 5 837 |
| 11 | Ans9.) Crop diversity implies a cropping pattern where there is even share of multiple crops so that there is ample availability of all crops. India has suffered in the recent past as more than 40% of gross cropped area has been occupied by rice and wheat. It has made India a rice wheat economy.
The reasons for same are
- Open procurement of wheat and rice in msp leads to over production.
- Assured market support as private traders prefer wheat and rice
- Easy credit available for wheat and rice due to assured sale
- Fertilizer and irrigation subsidy has resulted in encouraging their production irrespective of agro climatic region.
- Lack of storage and processing support discourages production of high value crops, reflected in less than potential growth of horticulture.
- Lack of insurance support discourages risk taking and move towards pulses, oilseeds etc.
This has led to ecological loss, low productivity, high inequality and stagnation of farm income, all of which is a challenge for farmer's growth.
This can be controlled by
- providing income transfer like pm kisan
- Assuring purchases of oilseeds and pulses through NAFED or TRIFED.
- Promotion of investment in irrigation capacity, improved soil health, mechanization etc
- Encouraging farmers to take risk by providing insurance support
- Promoting post harvest infrastructure like processing, grading, storage to promote horticulture
- Developing supply chain for multiple crops, through contract farming.
- Promotion of plantation agriculture
Therefore both technical and institutional reforms are needed to assure that India realises its agricultural potential and turns from net importer of crops like oilseeds, pulses etc to an exporter. | 6 374 |

| 15 | Ans8.) It is possible to have inclusive growth in market economy if institutions and rules are well established. It can be achieved by
- Environmental rules - This means that govt should make rules and institutions to assure environment is well protected. It requires setting emission norms and establishing rules related to effluent treatment by industry. It also needs creating rules to assure proper use of technology to remove any outdated polluting techniques.
- Corporate social responsibility will also help in assuring that business and individual confidence can be improved. Under this firms above a particular level of turnover, net worth and profit are expected to provide socially relevant output like education, health care, ecological sustainability, gender equity etc to improve over all well being in society. It also helps in assuring that corporates fulfill their social obligations and contribute to social welfare.
- It requires corporate governance rules. These require that board of directors work for not only benefit of promoters and large share holders but also for benefit of small shareholders, creditors and workers. It needs ethical running of business with transparency. This results in profit through value creation and not by market manipulation.
- Establishment of proper regulatory bodies like competition commission of India, SEBI etc. This assures that there is no misuse of market power, no manipulation of markets and proper development of consumer's rights.
- Promoting ease of doing business assures technological upliftment, quality improvement, cost cutting and better market conditions.
This all of these can create inclusive growth in market economy as seen in countries like South Korea, Germany, Japan etc. and that should be the way forward in development policies of India | 8 242 |
| 16 | Ans7.) Jal Jeevan Mission was launched on 15th August 2019 to provide tap water to every household in India. It has increased tap capacity from 3.2 crore houses in 2019 to 16.1 crore rural household by March 2026.
Tap water has reached all household, schools and anganwadi centres in 192 districts. 1,27,000 gram panchayat have reported full coverage. 11 states and UT have 100% connectivity of tap water.
It has given priority to drought prone region, desert villages and sansad Adarsh gram yojana. It also monitors for functionality of tap with sustainable water supply through rejuvenation of water resources.
It empowers and develops human resources in the sector and raises awareness for safe drinking water.
It has provided
- quality assurance and monitoring with 2843 labs.
- Development of piped water systems
- Establishing bulk water transfer system
- improved techniques to improve water quality
- functional tap with water supply of 55 ltr per capita per day.
- treatment and reuse of grey water.
Therefore it has focused on not only water supply but helped in better health and reduced drudgery of life for many women who had to spend time and effort for getting regular water supply | 6 500 |
