Shaktimatha 369 Learning


Q31. “Ethical governance is essential for effective use of technology in public administration.” Discuss.

Technology improves efficiency, transparency, and service delivery in governance. However, without ethical safeguards, it can lead to surveillance excesses, data misuse, and exclusion.

Ethical governance ensures accountability, privacy protection, and fairness in decision-making. Clear standards and oversight are required for responsible technology use.

Thus, ethical governance is essential to maximise benefits of technology while safeguarding citizens’ rights.


Q32. “Climate change has emerged as a non-traditional security threat.” Examine.

Climate change affects food, water, and energy security, leading to livelihood stress and displacement. Extreme weather events increase humanitarian crises.

Such stresses can aggravate social tensions and internal security challenges. Developing countries face higher vulnerability.

Addressing climate risks through adaptation and mitigation is essential for long-term security.


Q33. “Supply chain resilience is critical for economic security.” Analyse.

Disruptions in supply chains can affect availability of essentials, industrial production, and employment. Global shocks expose vulnerabilities.

Diversification, domestic manufacturing, and logistics infrastructure enhance resilience. Digital tracking improves efficiency.

Strengthening supply chains is therefore vital for economic stability and security.


Q34. “Police and judicial reforms are complementary to each other.” Discuss.

Police reforms enhance investigation quality, professionalism, and public trust. Judicial reforms ensure timely justice and deterrence.

Delays and capacity gaps weaken rule of law. Coordinated reforms across policing and judiciary are necessary.

Together, they strengthen governance and internal security outcomes.


Q35. “Public participation strengthens governance and security outcomes.” Comment.

Public participation improves policy relevance, compliance, and trust. Community engagement helps in early warning, conflict prevention, and service delivery.

Participatory mechanisms enhance accountability and social cohesion. However, they require inclusiveness and capacity building.

Meaningful participation therefore strengthens governance and security outcomes.
