Q41. “Discuss how climate change poses multidimensional challenges to India’s economy, society and security.”
Climate change impacts India’s economy through reduced agricultural productivity, damage to infrastructure, and rising disaster-related expenditure. Extreme weather events increase fiscal stress and disrupt livelihoods.
Socially, climate stress exacerbates poverty, health risks, and displacement. Marginalised communities are disproportionately affected, widening inequality.
From a security perspective, resource scarcity, climate-induced migration, and disaster response challenges can aggravate internal tensions. Thus, climate change is a multidimensional threat requiring integrated policy responses.
Q42. “Evaluate the role of agriculture reforms in ensuring economic security and farmers’ welfare.”
Agriculture remains central to India’s food security and rural employment. Reforms aimed at market access, price discovery, and diversification seek to enhance farmers’ income.
However, issues such as implementation gaps, regional disparities, and small landholdings limit reform outcomes. Institutional support and risk mitigation are crucial.
Comprehensive agriculture reforms combined with social protection can strengthen economic security and farmers’ welfare.
Q43. “Internal security challenges cannot be addressed without inclusive development.” Analyse.
Many internal security challenges such as extremism and unrest have roots in poverty, exclusion, and governance deficits. Security-only approaches often address symptoms, not causes.
Inclusive development through education, healthcare, employment, and infrastructure reduces grievances and builds trust.
Thus, inclusive growth is essential for sustainable peace and internal security.
Q44. “Science and technology must be guided by ethical and regulatory frameworks.” Discuss.
Advances in AI, biotechnology, and digital platforms offer immense benefits. However, unregulated use can lead to ethical concerns such as privacy violations and inequality.
Ethical frameworks ensure responsible innovation, public trust, and accountability. Regulation balances innovation with societal safeguards.
Therefore, ethical governance of technology is essential for sustainable progress.
Q45. “Good governance acts as a force multiplier in addressing GS–III challenges.” Comment.
Good governance improves policy implementation, resource utilisation, and institutional trust. It enhances effectiveness of economic, environmental, and security initiatives.
Transparency, accountability, and participation reduce corruption and policy failures. Weak governance, by contrast, undermines development outcomes.
Thus, good governance acts as a force multiplier in addressing GS–III challenges holistically.
