5G - The fifth generation cellular networks offers a huge increase in data internet speed which will
allow most of the work in factories to be mechanised by robots, thus, greater production speeds will be
achieved. It will give huge boost to the automation of cars, development of smart cities and our whole
life will become more technologically oriented.

2. Electric Vehicles – The concept isn’t new but their full potential is yet to be discovered. The cost of
running an EV is around ₹0.8/km as compared to ₹9/km of a petrol car. Thus, EVs will emerge as a
budget friendly option to the middle class.EVs will decrease our dependence on fossil fuels. They are
environment friendly and will surely be the ride of the future.

3.Human Augmentation with Microchips – The use of mechanical limbs in people with disabilities is
gaining popularity and more efforts in this field will allow disabled people to live an easier life. Also,
robotic exoskeletons are used by military to improve strength of soldiers.

Yes, I agree with the statement that ‘The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2022’ is fundamentally
flawed. This is due to a main reason that it conflicts with the fundamental right of privacy. The Bill has a
good number of provisions which have a clause ‘as may be prescribed’. This gives power to the Central
government to issue rules later to elucidate these provisions. Here, the government has a substantial
chance to infringe the right to privacy in the name of national security and public order.

Also, the bill fails upon its task to provide a structure for state surveillance and thus the data of citizens
can be used further without their consent.

I think that Juvenile Justice Law should be rationalised in such a way that it consider all the crimes
committed by the minor except heinous crimes(ex: Murder, Rape) with the circumstances and
background of the minor because in every crime the mind-set of the minor can’t be compared to that of
an adult. The crime is not only committed by the minor but also by the circumstances and his
background.

My stance on second question is that Juvenile offenders should be equally strictly punished only in
heinous crimes as was also stated by the Nirbhaya Case Verdict. In heinous crimes, it is reasonable to
any human the extent to which the crime can lead, so, it’s obvious to punish equally. But for all crimes,
statistical data shows that most juvenile crimes are committed by those minors who either belong to
poor communities or have face social issues like domestics violence or divorce of parents. So, the minors
are in a way forced to commit crimes by the environment they got.
Malnutrition has penetrated its roots deeply in the India because of issues like poverty and lack of
awareness. To tackle this, the Indian Government launched the ‘Mid-Day Meal Scheme’ in 1995 which
provides free lunches on working days to students in government primary and upper primary schools.
The scheme has worked nicely in many states except some.

Also, the government has integrated Mid- day meal scheme to local Anganwadi to further improve
nutritional status of young children.

However, more efforts are still needed. The government should work upon the proper implementation
of ‘Mid – Day Meal Scheme’ in states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Also, a major problem is that the
present schemes ignores the nutritional status of children going to private schools. First, not all private
school students belong to well to do families and are malnourished. Secondly, those who have money
are attracted more towards eating junk food and unhealthy stuff. So the government should also plan
schemes oriented towards children who go to private schools.
