1. "Quasi-judicial bodies have emerged as a mechanism of justice.” Evaluate.(250W/15M)

Approach:
1. Underlying theme: Role of quasi-judicial bodies
2. Keyword: ‘Evaluate’: Give your verdict as to what extent a statement or findings within a
piece of research are true, or to what extent you agree with them. Provide evidence taken
from a wide range of sources which both agree with and contradict an argument.
3. Introduction: Give a brief introduction on. Example:  A quasi-judicial body has also been
defined as “an organ of government, other than a court or legislature, which affects the
rights of private parties through adjudication or rulemaking”
4. Body: Give supporting arguments for the statement given in the question. Example: They
have a partly judicial character by possession of the right to hold hearings on and conduct
investigations into disputed claims and alleged infractions of rules and regulations and to
make decisions in the general manner of courts.
 They are essentially judicial in character but not within the judicial power or function
especially as constitutionally defined.
 Write more such points and discuss why we require quasi-judicial bodies. Example:
emergence of quasi-judicial bodies: With scientific and economic development, laws
have become more complex, demanding more technical knowledge about specific
sectors.
 As the welfare state has grown up in size and functions, more and more litigations are
pending in the judiciary, making it over-burdened. It requires having an alternative
justice system.
 Ordinary judiciary has become dilatory and costly.
 Write more such points and write about tribunals. Example: Administrative tribunals are
agencies created by specific enactments. Administrative adjudication is a term
synonymously used with administrative decision-making. The decision-making or

admin 1
 adjudicatory function is exercised in a variety of ways. However, the most popular mode
of adjudication is through tribunals.
 Give some examples of quasi-judicial bodies. Example: National Human Rights
Commission, Central Information Commission, National Consumer Disputes Redressal
Commission, District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Competition Commission of
India,etc.
 Write their advantages and disadvantages and also suggest some measures for their
better implementation. Example: measures: Recently, High court tells Karnataka to use
software to handle cases before quasi-judicial bodies.
 Finance Department should consider the proposal made for increasing the staff
strength, including the officers, in various departments of the government that deal
with quasi-judicial work.
5. Conclusion: Summarize the arguments made in the answer and write way forward.
Example: By following above measures they will become more effective and thus, quasi-
judicial bodies have emerged as an alternative judicial system.

2. Examine the main provisions of Make In India policy and throw light on the status of its
implementation.(150W/10M)
Approach:
1. Underlying theme:
2. Keyword: ‘Examine’: Look in close detail and establish the key facts and important issues
surrounding a topic.
3. Introduction: Give a brief introduction on. Example: The manufacturing sector only
contributes 16% of the overall GDP in addition to lack of enabling infrastructure. The Make
in India program was launched by PM Modi in the year 2014 to put India on the world map
as a major hub for global design and manufacturing.
4. Body: Give supporting arguments for the statement given in the question. Example:
 Through the Make in India (MII) initiative the Government of India aims to take the
GDP to 25% by 2022.
 Write more such points and then write about its aims and pillars. Example: MII also
seeks to facilitate job creation, foster innovation, enhance skill development and
protect intellectual property.
 The logo of ‘Make in India’ – a lion made of gear wheels – itself reflects the integral
role of manufacturing in government’s vision and national development.
 The initiative is built on four pillars which are as follows:
 New Processes: The government is introducing several reforms to create
possibilities for getting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and foster business
partnerships. Some initiatives have already been undertaken to alleviate
the business environment from outdated policies and regulations. This

 reform is also aligned with parameters of World Bank's 'Ease of Doing
Business' index to improve India's ranking on it.
 New Infrastructure: The government intends to develop industrial
corridors and build smart cities with state-of-the-art technology and high-
speed communication. Innovation and research activities are supported by
a fast-paced registration system and improved infrastructure for
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) registrations.
 New Sectors: ‘Make in India’ has identified 25 sectors to promote with the
detailed information being shared through an interactive web-portal. The
Government has allowed 100% FDI in Railway and removed restrictions in
Construction. It has also recently increased the cap of FDI to 100% in
Defense and Pharmaceutical.
 New Mindset: Government in India has always been seen as a regulator
and not a facilitator. It will focus on acting as a partner in the economic
development of the country alongside the corporate sector.
 Write more such points and write about its implementation. Example: The
Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) worked with a
group of highly specialized agencies to build brand new infrastructure.
 Invest India acted as the first reference point for target investors and provide
sector-and state-specific inputs, and hand-holding support to investors through the
entire investment cycle, from pre-investment decision-making to after-care. 
 The ease of doing business initiative is used to speed up implementation of reforms
to bring improvement in the business environment of the country. 
 Write about the positives of MII.Example: US-based First Solar Inc and China’s Trina
Solar have plans to set up manufacturing facilities in India.
 With the slogan “Zero Defect Zero Effect” coined by Prime Minister of India, Modi
the future projects from the manufacturing sector are aimed at truly and effectively
making India a super power in manufacturing for which the MII was envisioned.
