Mains Practice Question
Q) Critically examine the impact of frequent internet shutdowns in India on governance, economy, and civil liberties. Suggest measures to balance security concerns with digital rights. [250 Words] [15M]
Answer
Introduction: Frequent internet shutdowns in India, aimed at maintaining public order and security, have raised concerns regarding their impact on governance, the economy, and civil liberties.
Body:
Governance: Shutdowns hinder access to critical information, disrupting governance and transparency. They also raise questions about accountability, as they can suppress dissent and limit democratic processes.
Economy: Shutdowns lead to economic losses, impacting MSMEs, foreign investment, and job opportunities. For instance, in 2023, India faced a $1.9 billion loss.
Civil Liberties: Shutdowns violate the right to freedom of speech and expression, disrupting education, healthcare, and access to information for marginalized groups.
Conclusion: To balance security concerns with digital rights, clear guidelines for shutdowns, a centralized database, and collaboration between the government, internet companies, and civil society are necessary.

Mains Practice Question:
India's urban areas are facing a rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), especially among marginalized communities. Analyze the causes and health challenges associated with NCDs in India's cities. Discuss policy initiatives and recommendations to mitigate this issue effectively.
Answer:
Introduction: India's urbanization has led to a significant increase in non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly in marginalized communities like informal workers and slum dwellers. NCDs, including diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, are now a major health challenge in India.
Body:
Causes of NCDs:
Lifestyle Factors: Unhealthy diets, sedentary lifestyles, alcohol and tobacco consumption.
Environmental Factors: Pollution and hazardous working conditions.
Socioeconomic Challenges: Limited access to affordable healthcare and financial vulnerability.
Health Challenges:
Inadequate Healthcare Infrastructure: Fragmented public health systems and poor implementation of health policies.
Rising Inequality: Limited access to healthcare for poorer sections of society.
Policy Recommendations:
Enhance Primary Healthcare: Improve accessibility, particularly for marginalized groups.
Leverage Technology: Use data-driven insights for early detection and better health planning.
Community Engagement: Involve local communities in health awareness and NCD prevention programs.
Strengthen Public Health Systems: Invest in comprehensive urban healthcare and NCD surveillance.
Conclusion: To combat the growing NCD burden, India needs a multi-pronged approach involving prevention, healthcare strengthening, and community awareness. Addressing systemic healthcare gaps and promoting healthy urban living will be essential for long-term public health improvement.

Q. Examine the role of socio-economic factors and legal frameworks in addressing child marriage in India. How effective are the current laws in combating this issue?
Approach:
Introduction:
Child Marriage: Marriage where either party is a child (PCMA, 2006).
Issue: Violates rights, affects health, education, autonomy.
Context: Role of socio-economic factors & legal frameworks.
Body:
1. Socio-economic Factors:
Poverty: Economic hardship drives early marriage for financial relief.
Social Norms: Cultural expectations prioritize girls as wives/mothers.
Lack of Education: Correlation between low education & higher child marriage.
Cultural Tradition: Marriage viewed as family honor, protection of girls.
Dowry: Younger age reduces dowry demands.
Safety Concerns: Protection from violence seen as a reason for early marriage.
2. Legal Framework:
PCMA, 2006: Criminalizes child marriage; penalties for offenders.
CMPOs: Appointed to prevent, raise awareness, and enforce law.
Constitution: Articles 21, 14, 15 ensure rights & equality.
International Commitments: UN CRC, SDG 5.3 aim to end child marriage.
3. Effectiveness of Laws:
Enforcement Issues: Limited resources, corruption, weak political will.
Judicial Oversight: SC directives for CMPOs, but uneven implementation.

Holistic Approach: Need for education, empowerment, and welfare programs.
Conclusion:
Comprehensive Action Needed: Legal, social, and economic interventions required.

Mains Practice Question
Q) India’s urban infrastructure development faces a significant financing gap. Analyze the challenges in financing urban infrastructure and suggest both medium- and long-term measures to address these challenges. [250 Words] [15M]
Introduction: India's urban population is expected to double by 2050, necessitating ₹70 lakh crore for infrastructure by 2036, while current annual investments stand at just ₹1.3 lakh crore. This financing gap poses significant challenges.
Challenges:
- Stagnant Municipal Revenues: Municipal finances remain at 1% of GDP, with limited own-source revenue (43%).
- Low Tax Collection Efficiency: Property tax contributes only 0.15% of GDP.
- Underutilization of Funds: 23% of municipal revenues remain unspent.
- Decline in PPPs: Investments dropped from ₹8,353 crore in 2012 to ₹467 crore in 2018.
Solutions
Medium-Term Measures:
- Strengthen project pipelines and preparation.
- Leverage digital infrastructure for efficiency.
- Revive PPPs with viability gap funding.
Long-Term Reforms:
- Empower ULBs with financial autonomy.
- Strengthen State Finance Commissions.
- Expand municipal bonds and land value capture.
Conclusion: Comprehensive reforms and innovative financing are critical to closing the urban infrastructure gap and achieving sustainable urbanization.
