correct word or grammar. म�ने बोलकर टाइप कर िदया (�ीच-टु-टे�) िफर व� क� कमी के चलते
म� उसको बोहोत �ादा चेक नहीं कर पाता. इसम� जो ग़ल�तयाँ हो तो म� माफ� चाहता �, बाक� भगवान मा�लक है
और �वद्याथ� समझदार है।
WHY IS IT SO BULKY? WHY SO MANY PAGES?

‘digital banks’. This will be new type of banks under the banking regulation

⇒ EcoPill1B2:Bad Loans: If a Bank fails: Deposit Insurance and Credit
Guarantee Corporation (DICGC, statutory corporation found by reserve
bank of India, headquarter Mumbai) gives a depositor maximum Rs 5 lakh
per account as insurance cover (Before 2021 this limit was Rs.1,00,000).
Deposits in public and private sector banks, local area banks, small finance
banks, regional rural banks, cooperative banks, Indian branches of foreign
banks and payments banks are all insured by the DICGC. The premium is
paid by banks to the DICGC is currently pay a minimum of 12 paise on every
Rs 100 worth deposits. �

prospects of this company. To put this simply for layman- HDFC bank can
give loan and its share is priced at ₹1500 whereas Paytm (a Payment Bank,
can’t give loan) demanding ₹2150 share price. Previously Paytm had
superiority because of the mobile wallet system, but mobile wallets no longer
necessary thanks to UPI-Bhim. Paytm’s own filling to SEBI says they may
never become profitable!
�3) startup bubble, no free lunches in economy-
said Raghuram Rajan. Cashback discount is given to build subscriber base to
create hype- ultimately startup founders recovered all the cashback money
from retail investors (who lost 25% on listing day). �
4) this could also
negatively affect the future IPOs of Startup Companies / tapid reponce to
Govt’s disinvestment.
�5) Ethical- Retail investors frenzy applying IPO,

3) The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020, which is aimed at
giving certain relief to food processing companies from the stockholding
limits during inflation. Salient features of the Acts explain in detail in
Mrunal’s Free Win20 Series Pillar#4A (mrunal.org/download) REASONS for
removal of 3 farm laws: 1) farmers were protesting fearing exploitation at the
hands of MNCs similar to ola-uber drivers and zomato delivery boys. Govt
was unable to convince them. 2) �
) farm laws were for all practical
purposes dead from 2021-Jan: because Supreme Court had stayed farm laws
implementation “until further orders”. The apex court never heard the
matter again even after an expert committee. �
) problems in federalism:
state governments complaining that union government is encroaching upon
their legal domain.
�) protest sites were creating problem of traffic,
movement of other citizens, incidents of lynching. �
) removal of stock
limit in the Essential commodity act was creating problem for the
government in controlling the pulses inflation.
�) the present lockdown
was preventing government from doing other set of reforms in agriculture
such as urea subsidy electricity subsidy etc.
� ) protesting farm leaders were
demanding new set of reforms e.g make a new law to make MSP a legal right,
similar to the National Food Security Act. but this is financially difficult for
the union government. But now the protesters will return to their homes so
farm leaders will not be able continue the protests for MSP-legal right in an
effective manner. �
) RSS feared agitation was impacting social cohesion of
Hindus & Sikhs in Punjab, affecting the election outcome. �
Unofficial
reasons: 1) Punjab election, strong possibility of the BJP joining hands with
former chief minister Amarinder Singh 2) Preventing he rise of Rakesh Tikait
in Western UP before UP election. 3) Modi was worried about his global
image after Comedian Vir Das, Greta Thurnberg & Pop-star Rihanna
from the least developed country (LDC) category to the developing country
grouping. This will be done after five years.

2021-22: Top 10 urban areas are Shimla, Coimbatore, Chandigarh,
Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Panaji, Pune, Tiruchirappalli, Ahmedabad and
Nagpur. The bottom 10 urban areas are Dhanbad, Meerut, Itanagar,
Guwahati, Patna, Jodhpur, Kohima, Agra, Kolkata and Faridabad. This
dashboard developed with the Indo-German Development Cooperation. For
each SDG, the urban areas are ranked on a scale of 0-100. A score of 100
implies that the urban area has achieved the targets set for 2030; a score of 0
implies that it is the farthest from achieving the targets. Previously NITI

� Challenges in India 1) Non-communicable diseases like cancer are on the
rise. At present, in India, we have 30 lakh (3 million) people with cancer at
any given time. 2) Reluctance of people to get timely check-ups during the
pandemic, the number of people presenting with advanced cancers in the
coming days is likely to swell. 3) They will need palliative support. But,
Palliative care is almost non-existent at the grassroots in India. There is a lack
of trained personnel, restricted access to opioids for pain control. प्रशामक

BRCA itself has undergone a mutation, it loses the ability to repair DNA. This
increases the cancer chances in women.

o 6-HRD/Public Health: Generic drugs are chemically identical to drugs whose
patent has expired. Every pharmaceutical company can manufacture and
send it. e.g. Paracetamol. When chemist and customers deal in generic drugs
they are mainly focusing on brand differentiation (Cadila vs Pfizer) based on
profit margin, perceived quality respectively. But there is no way for the
customer to find out which generic drug brand is better quality for the given
price range? COMPETITION Commission of India (CCI, statutory body
under the Ministry of corporate affairs) conducted a market study on the
pharmaceutical sector. Then CCI’s committee suggested Setting up of
National Digital Drugs Databank that will help the customers make an
informed decision. In a separate BizGK, FLIPKART aquires online pharma
store SastaSundar.com. Pharmaeasy online pharma store startup is planning
to launch its IPO. So there is also a need for regulation of the online
pharmaceutical market Place. (जब िकसी दवाई का पेट�ट समा� हो जाए तो अ� सभी फ़ामार्

CASTE-BASED PAYMENT DELAYS: March 2021, the Centre came out with
a circular asking state governments to send three separate bills for money
release a) SC, b) ST, c) Other categories. Critics argue that i) it increases the
workload of lower bureaucracy in the paper document preparation ii) worker
from non-SC/ST not getting payment on time (perhaps because govt doesn’t
have enough money to pay everyone on time so priority given to SC/ST
workers)→ resulting in the caste-based tension at job site. (मनरेगा योजना म� तीन

provision for the transfer of a Judge (including Chief Justice) from one High
Court to any other High Court. But, as per SC judgements- No transfer order
can be issued by the President without the advice of the chief justice of India.
So Supreme Court collegium decides the selection/transfer matters of HC
Judges. Controversy- Madras High Court has total 75 judges and Meghalaya
High Court has four judges. So, when a judge of Madras High Court is
transferred to Meghalaya High Court, some persons, consider it as a
punishment posting to a less significant HC. �
Controversy: 2019- Madras
HC Justice Tahilramani was transferred to Meghalaya then she resigned.
2021: Justice Sanjib Banerjee, Chief Justice, Madras HC, to Meghalaya HC.
He was in news because of certain judgements - 1) against govt’s social media
intermediary guidelines 2) against Puducherry BJP accessed voters’ phone
numbers linked to their Aadhaar cards. 3) Against EC officials must be
“booked for murder” for organising polls in Corona wave 2.0- SC observed
that HCs must be cautious in censuring officials. �
Points to Reflect: 1)
some judges argue that no High Court is inferior and therefore there is no
punishment posting, a judge must be ready to serve anywhere in the country!
If everyone refuses to serve in Meghalaya then how will Meghalaya High
Court work!? 2) since the process to remove/dismiss a judge is very lengthy
and cumbersome, so sometimes SC collegium resort to transfer the person.

clause, and was allowed to lapse in 1995. 3) Article 245 of the Constitution
gives Parliament the power to make laws. So, Parliament draws its power to
repeal a law from the same provision. 4) executive can repeal thru ordinance.

domestic help, cooks, drivers, hawkers and daily-wage workers- their salaries
frozen, removed from jobs, forced to return to village. 2) middle class has
enjoyed the comfort in Corona because of the smartphone boom: E-learning,
online food and grocery delivery. 3) Being a citizen is a secondary act, asserting

the online shopping site as well as in offline stores and government offices-
South Korea, Poland, the Czech Republic and in some states in the US. 2021-
Pakistan Parliament passed a for chemical castration of those convicted of
multiple rapes.
�Counter arguments: 1) Jamaat-i-Islami Senator protested
against the Bill, and termed it unIslamic and against Sharia. He said a rapist
should be hanged publicly, but there was no mention of castration in Sharia. 2)
Sexual perversion is psychological and not necessarily physical so even if the
rapist (who is released from jail after suppose 14 years)- go to still abuse the
woman/child using steel rods etc. If there is threat of death/castration then rapist
may murder victim to avoid getting caught. (बला�ारी को रासाय�नक दवाएँ देकर नपुंसक बना

Act. Section-7 interpretation: Bombay High Court’s judgement insinuated that if
“skin-to-skin” contact with the child” not done then it’s not an offence under
POCSO act. But SC has clarified that accused predator’s “sexual intent” needs to
be seen. “skin-to-skin” contact with the child not necessary. when a stick, steel
rod etc is pressed onto a person, even when clothed, their sense of touch is keen
enough to feel it.”
�Points to Reflect: Accused and Defense lawyers leaving no
stone unturned to free to their client ki engaging in such pedantic debate in the
courtroom about “skin-to-skin” touch not done to it is not POSCO matter! (ब�ों

2013. Lower court gave death penalty because they’re ‘serial rapists’. But,
Bombay HC converted death penalty into life sentence saying 1) The law has not
prescribed mandatory death penalty. Although the gangrape is barbaric and
heinous, it cannot be said at the threshold that the accused deserve only death
penalty and nothing less than that. (2) Death puts an end to the whole concept of
repentance, any sufferings and mental agony. 3) the Constitutional courts are

died. Police aims to arrest the woman but local crowd is resisting that it was
done for the safety of our children! As Police Officer what will you do?
�Points to Reflect: 1) Vigilantism is illegal. Arrest needs to be made. It is

it discriminates against disabled people.

considered publishers and can be held liable for defamatory comments posted
on their platforms. 2) They can avoid this liability if they provide information

⇒ Ethics: Media Trial vs Journalistic Ethics vs right to Bail: NCB leaking
WhatsApp screenshot chats of film actress Ananya promising to supply
drugs to star kid Aryan Khan. This was selectively leaked in media at a crucial
time just before the bail hearing. Critics argue 1) it could put pressure on the
judge not to give bail because of the public perception against the accused 2)
Even if the person is innocent she/he cannot reclaim the reputation back. 3)
NCB not officially released them. This has been leaked to selectively by
insider. Therefore some of the media houses (NDTV) did not showcase the
exact screenshots. Question: if you are TV news channel editor will you show

attitude towards teenagers’ roaming in night, partying etc. 5) Normalisation
of swearing, adultery, homosexuality, Rowdism/gundaai/tashan in web
series/movies. Although in the SRK son Aryan Khan case social media is
going back to the regressive days, “Why Girl Ananya is talking to Boy Aryan
on WhatsApp about partying and drugs? and even if Aryan not taking drugs
still why did he go on Cruz Party without parents? this is bad parenting by

exercise in the gym then died in a heart attack. TV channels are full of
misinformation / misleading information such as 1) Young South Asians
(Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans) are more at risk with
heart attacks than other races. This is statistically misleading because our
youth population is higher compared to other races. 2) Should every Indian
male over the age of 40 get tested for heart disease. → this is also misleading
because routine CT scanning or echocardiography are not advised in
individuals who do not have any symptoms. Such tests do not prevent future
heart attacks. It only increases the cost and may even result in some side-
effects. 3) Previously similar misinformation about Plasma therapy in Corona
(ultimately found to be not so useful) & Remdesivir excessive prescription
and shortage. �
TV channels pedal such misinformation because 1)
boosting the business of hospitals in medical tests 2) panellists are not
qualified to give professional medical opinion e.g. cancer doctor giving heart
advice 3) Anchors are recruited not for their knowledge but looks and ability
to shout. How will you address this as A) chairman of national medical
commission and B) secretary (IAS) of Ministry Of Information And

1) Ethics: Medical: in nazi Germany Hitler ordered the medical researchers to
conduct Murderous and torturous human experiments on Jews & minorities
in the concentration camp for developing a Pure Aryan Race. At the end of
second world war, allied nations conducted trials on the nazi leaders at
Nuremberg, Germany (1945-46). The nazi physicians were also tried in the
tribunal. And outcome was Nuremberg Code (1947) for clinical trials. It
requires voluntary consent of the patient, no physical mental torture,
research should be for the good of the society (and not for developing from
X-man mutants). However even today the Nuremberg code is violated.
Chinese researchers conduct cruel clinical trials on Tibetan, Uyghur (mostly
Muslim) and Hui minority populations without obtaining their consent.

time and British time, Kings and merchants had donated large amount of
Gold, artefacts to temples/trusts. Many of it is still undocumented from the
public records. And therefore unscrupulous elements made to siphon it
otherwise it could be used for the public welfare. (लीलावती हॉ��टल के ट��ी और

15) Janjatiya Gaurav Divas- celebrated on 15th Nov, the birth anniversary of
Bhagwan Birsa Munda. Born on November 15, 1875, in Ulihatu village in
present-day Jharkhand. During the 1880s, Birsa closely witnessed the Sardari
Larai movement in the region, which demanded the restoration of tribal
rights through non-violent methods like sending petitions to the Raj.
However, the oppressive colonial regime paid no heed to these demands. The
feudal setup intensified the forced labour (veth bigari) in the forested tribal
areas. he was captured by British police and lodged in jail, where he died in
captivity on June 9, 1900. But Bhagwan Birsa Munda’s spirited struggle did
not go in vain. It compelled the British to take cognisance of the plight and
exploitation of tribals, and bring in the Chhota Nagpur Tenancy Act of 1908
for their protection. This Act restricted the transfer of tribal land to non-
tribals, giving Adivasis a huge relief and became a landmark legislation for
the protection of tribal rights. भगवान �बरसा मुंडा के ज�िदवस को जनजातीय गौरव िदवस के
