(News) Civil Services Prelims: Major Changes at a glance

Civil Services Prelims: Major Changes at a glance

Earlier, the preliminary stage comprised two papers, General Studies (GS) worth 150 marks and an optional subject (chosen out of a list of 23) of 300 marks. In the new scheme of things, total marks of the preliminary stage have been reduced from 450 to 400. Papers 1 and 2 carry equal weight while the time limit for both — two hours — remains as earlier. The UPSC increased the weightage of paper-1 from 150 marks to 200. It seems to have kept the paper in question more or less the same in terms of the broad topics, but the mental ability section has been shifted to paper-2. The optional subject with 120 questions has been done away with. In its place, paper-2 will be common for all candidates and include questions on comprehension, mental ability, and logical reasoning.

According to coaching industry professionals, the examination seems to be becoming more contemporary. Sriram Srirangam, faculty member, Sri Ram's IAS, Delhi, says that aspirants should peruse newspapers with a missionary zeal. "Spend at least three hours on the newspaper every day. You should have a genuine love for national and international events and developments."

Dhrubajyoti Banik, course co-ordinator - civil services aptitude test and chief knowledge expert, TIME New Delhi, says, "Till last year, whether it was economics, geography, or sociology, the stress was on static information. For example, in the Mughal empire, who started such and such system, etc." Now, the UPSC has spelt out topics like development and environmental issues.

What's changed

Students will now have to take two compulsory papers, each of 200 marks and of two hours' duration, in the civil services preliminary exam. The new elements in the exam for candidates going to take it in 2011:

Important Points Of Water Resources In India

The supply-demand gap for water is projected to rise to about 50% by 2030, with demands doubling from current levels of 700 billions cubic meters to around 1498 billion cubic meters, and supply barely reaching 744 billion cubic meters.
Even after years of work on Ganga and Yamuna Action Plans, and crores of rupees spent, we have not managed to clean up these rivers.
The average annual rainfall in the country has been estimated about 1170 millimeters (mm). This, along with the, total snowfall and glacier melt in terms of Volume works out to about 4000 bil1ion cubic meters (bcm). However due to losses through evaporation and evapo-transpiration, the water availability in the country has been assessed to be about 1869 bcm.

(Article) Global Hunger Index 2010

Global Hunger Index 2010

Hunger haunts India

India is among 29 countries with the highest levels of hunger, stunted children and poorly fed women, according to the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)'s "Global Hunger Index 2010" released on Oct 11, 2010. Despite a strong economy that was last week predicted to overtake China's within three years by The Economist magazine, India ranked ti7th among 85 countries in terms of access to food.

The report points to widespread hunger in a country that is the world's largest producer of milk and edible oils, and the second- largest producer of wheat and sugar.

The country has a high "hunger score" of 24.1 and ranks behind all its neighbours, barring Bangladesh. Values between 20 and 29.9 on the index denote an "alarming" hunger situation.

Globally, the world is nowhere near meeting the target of the UN's goal of halving the proportion of hungry people.

India also runs the world's largest free-meal programme for school-going children. Yet, the 2010 hunger report reveals that more than 90 per cent of the world's stunted children (whose height is low for their age) live in Asian countries, such as India and Bangladesh, apart from some Africa countries.

The highest regional hunger indices — suggesting the worst performers —are almost the same for South Asian countries, such as India, and Sub-Saharan African nations, such as Congo.

India is among countries with "hunger levels considerably higher that their gross national income per capita would suggest". "It's kind of ironic," Ashok Gulati, Asia director of the Washington- based IFPRI said.

The IFPRI hunger index — complied in partnership with German NGO Welthungerhilfe, and Concern Worldwide —ranks countries on three equally weighted indicators: the proportion of undernourished, the proportion of underweight children under five, and the child mortality rate.

The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) defines hunger as the consumption of fewer than 1,800 kilocalories a day — the minimum required to live a healthy and productive life.

What is Global Hunger Index

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a multidimensional statistical tool used to describe the state of countries' hunger situation. The GHI measures progress and failures in the global fight against hunger. The GHI is updated once a year.

The Index was adopted and further developed by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), and was first published in 200ti with the Welthungerhilfe, a German nonprofit organization (NGO). Since 2007, the Irish NGO Concern Worldwide joined the group as co-publisher.

The 2009 GHI was calculated for 121 developing countries and countries in transition, 84 of which were ranked. Every year, the GHI report focuses on a main topic: in 2009 the Index measures the connection between hunger and gender equality. In addition, the impact of the financial crisis on the hunger situation was analyzed. In additional to the yearly GHI, the Hunger Index for the States of India (ISHI) was published in 2008 and the Sub-National Hunger Index for Ethiopia was published in 2009.

Calculation of the Index

The Index ranks countries on a 100 point scale, with 0 being the best score ("no hunger") and 100 being the worst, though neither of these extremes is achieved in practice. The higher the score, the worse the food situation of a country. Values less than 4.9 reflect "low hunger", values between 5 and 9.9 reflect "moderate hunger", values between 10 and 19.9 indicate a "serious", values between 20 and 29.9 are "alarming", and values exceeding 30 are "extremely alarming" hunger problem.
