Q26. “Science and technology are key drivers of economic development.” Examine.
Science and technology (S&T) enhance productivity, innovation, and competitiveness. They enable efficient use of resources and creation of high-value industries.
For a developing country like India, S&T supports industrial growth, healthcare advancement, and digital governance. However, unequal access and skill gaps remain challenges.
Strengthening research, innovation ecosystems, and human capital is essential to harness S&T for inclusive economic development.
Q27. “Digital technology has transformed governance in India.” Discuss.
Digital technologies have improved transparency, efficiency, and service delivery in governance. Initiatives such as digital payments, online services, and e-governance platforms have reduced delays and leakages.
However, issues like digital divide, cybersecurity risks, and data privacy concerns need attention.
Ensuring inclusiveness and strong regulatory frameworks is essential for sustainable digital governance.
Q28. “Innovation and research are essential for self-reliance in science and technology.” Analyse.
Self-reliance in S&T requires strong research and innovation capacity. Dependence on external technologies can create strategic vulnerabilities.
Investment in R&D, collaboration between academia and industry, and support for startups promote indigenous innovation.
A vibrant innovation ecosystem is therefore critical for technological self-reliance and long-term development.
Q29. “Artificial Intelligence offers opportunities as well as ethical challenges.” Examine.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has applications in healthcare, agriculture, education, and governance. It enhances efficiency and decision-making.
At the same time, AI raises concerns related to job displacement, bias, privacy, and accountability.
Developing ethical guidelines, skill reskilling, and regulatory oversight is essential to harness AI responsibly.
Q30. “Space technology has contributed significantly to India’s socio-economic development.” Discuss.
India’s space technology supports communication, navigation, weather forecasting, and disaster management. It enhances connectivity and planning capabilities.
Affordable and indigenous space missions have also boosted India’s global standing. Space applications directly benefit agriculture, urban planning, and disaster response.
Thus, space technology plays a vital role in India’s socio-economic development and strategic capability.
