Q36. “Discuss the challenges and opportunities of Artificial Intelligence in governance.”

Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers opportunities to improve policy formulation, service delivery, and decision-making. Applications include health diagnostics, smart governance, and predictive analytics.

However, AI also poses challenges such as job displacement, algorithmic bias, and data privacy risks. Lack of ethical frameworks can lead to misuse.

Balanced regulation, capacity building, and ethical guidelines are essential to harness AI responsibly.


Q37. “How does climate change influence migration and internal security?” Examine.

Climate change affects livelihoods through droughts, floods, and resource scarcity. Such pressures often force communities to migrate.

Large-scale migration can strain urban infrastructure and increase social tensions. In extreme cases, it may aggravate internal security challenges.

Climate-resilient development and inclusive urban planning are essential to manage climate-induced migration.


Q38. “Evaluate the role of Public–Private Partnerships (PPP) in infrastructure development.”

Public–Private Partnerships mobilise private investment and managerial expertise for infrastructure projects. They help bridge fiscal constraints.

However, issues such as risk allocation, contract disputes, and regulatory uncertainty have affected PPP performance.

Transparent frameworks and balanced risk-sharing are essential for successful PPP implementation.


Q39. “Why is cooperative federalism important for managing economic and security challenges?” Discuss.

Economic and security challenges often transcend state boundaries. Effective coordination between Centre and States is therefore essential.

Cooperative federalism enables resource sharing, policy coordination, and joint problem-solving. Institutional mechanisms facilitate collaboration.

Strengthening cooperative federalism improves governance and national resilience.


Q40. “Explain the significance of data-driven policymaking in contemporary governance.”

Data-driven policymaking uses evidence and analytics to improve decision quality. It enhances targeting, monitoring, and evaluation of policies.

Challenges include data quality, privacy concerns, and capacity constraints. Over-reliance on data without context can also mislead.

Balanced use of data with human judgment is essential for effective governance.
