Q21. “Discuss the interrelationship between economic development, environment and internal security.”
Economic development, environmental sustainability, and internal security are deeply interconnected. Rapid but unbalanced development can lead to environmental degradation, resource conflicts, and social unrest.
Environmental stress such as water scarcity, land degradation, and climate change can threaten livelihoods and increase vulnerability to conflict. Internal security challenges often emerge from developmental and ecological failures.
An integrated approach combining inclusive growth, environmental protection, and good governance is essential for long-term stability.
Q22. “Why is sustainable agriculture crucial for India’s food and economic security?” Examine.
Sustainable agriculture ensures long-term productivity while conserving soil, water, and biodiversity. It is essential for food security, farmers’ income, and rural livelihoods.
Unsustainable practices have led to soil degradation, groundwater depletion, and rising input costs. These threaten both economic and social stability.
Promoting climate-resilient crops, efficient irrigation, and sustainable practices is crucial for India’s food and economic security.
Q23. “Science and technology can act as both a solution and a challenge for internal security.” Discuss.
Science and technology enhance surveillance, intelligence, and response capabilities of security forces. Technologies such as AI, drones, and data analytics improve internal security management.
However, misuse of technology through cybercrime, encrypted communication, and misinformation creates new security challenges.
Therefore, technological advancement must be accompanied by regulation, ethical use, and capacity building to strengthen internal security.
Q24. “Disaster management is a test of governance capacity.” Analyse.
Disaster management requires coordination, preparedness, and timely decision-making. The ability of institutions to respond effectively reflects governance strength.
Weak governance leads to delayed response, poor relief distribution, and loss of public trust. Strong institutions, on the other hand, minimise losses and speed up recovery.
Thus, effective disaster management is a clear indicator of governance capacity and administrative competence.
Q25. “A holistic and integrated approach is required to address GS–III challenges.” Comment.
GS–III issues such as economy, agriculture, environment, technology, and security are interlinked. Addressing them in isolation often leads to partial solutions.
An integrated approach involves coordination across sectors, evidence-based policymaking, and stakeholder participation. It ensures balance between growth, sustainability, and security.
Such holistic policymaking is essential for achieving long-term national development and stability.
