Conversely, there is sluggish economic growth in regions like Jharkhand and Odisha, despite their relative abundance of natural resources.<br>Certain areas face challenges due to less favorable agro-climatic conditions. In states like Bihar and Rajasthan, investment levels are low or negligible owing to their unfavorable circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q2_The_first_Indian_state_to_have_its_Human_Development_Report_prepared_and_released_by_Amartya_Kumar_Sen_in_Delhi_is_2000\"><\/span>Q2.

IMR is quantified as the number of infant deaths per 1000 live births within the first year of life. The formula for calculating IMR is: IMR = (Total number of infant deaths \/ Total number of live births in that year) \u00d7 1000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q6_India_is_regarded_as_a_country_with_%E2%80%98Demographic_Dividend_This_is_due_to_2011\"><\/span>Q6.

Demographic dividend denotes the economic growth resulting from shifts in a country&#8217;s population age structure. Crucially, fostering and enhancing the capabilities of young individuals necessitates safeguarding their rights and freedoms to fulfill their potential. Moreover, providing opportunities for education and gaining experience is essential for young people to thrive in an increasingly competitive global job market, which increasingly demands advanced skills, education, and technical proficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q7_Karl_Marx_explained_the_process_of_class_struggle_with_the_help_of_which_one_of_the_following_theories_2011\"><\/span>Q7.

(2011)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>(a) Empirical liberalism<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(b) Existentialism<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(c) Darwin&#8217;s theory of evolution <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(d) Dialectical materialism<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ans_d-3\"><\/span>Ans. (d)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Karl Marx elucidated the concept of class struggle through the framework of dialectical materialism theory. Dialectical materialism, developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, is a philosophical perspective on reality. It asserts that reality has a material foundation that undergoes continual change through dialectical processes, with matter taking precedence over consciousness. Dialectical materialism provides a framework for comprehending reality, encompassing thoughts, emotions, and the material world. In essence, this methodology merges dialectics and materialism to analyze and understand reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q8_Economic_growth_in_country_X_will_necessarily_have_to_occur_if_2013\"><\/span>Q8.

(c)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Economic advancement in country X is contingent upon the occurrence of capital formation within X. Capital formation augments the productive capacity of the economy and fosters economic growth. Regarded as a pivotal element in the economic development of an economy, capital formation or accumulation holds significant importance. It serves as a crucial means to break the cycle of poverty in underdeveloped nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q9_To_obtain_full_benefits_of_demographic_dividend_what_should_India_do_2013\"><\/span>Q9. To obtain full benefits of demographic dividend, what should India do? (2013)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>(a) Promoting skill development <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(b) Introducing more social security schemes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(c) Reducing infant mortality rate <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(d) Privatisation of higher education<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ans_a-2\"><\/span>Ans. (a)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To fully harness the benefits of the demographic dividend, India must prioritize the promotion of skill development. Demographic dividend refers to the advantageous scenario where a country&#8217;s working-age population outweighs its dependent population. Therefore, to capitalize on this demographic advantage, it&#8217;s imperative to ensure that the youthful demographic segment receives adequate job opportunities, necessitating investment in skill development. The initial stride for India entails bolstering investments in healthcare, which have not kept pace with the country&#8217;s economic growth. Public expenditure on healthcare has remained stagnant at approximately 1% of GDP. Consequently, it&#8217;s crucial to formulate policies that prioritize healthcare provision during the demographic dividend period. Additionally, India should strive to enhance female workforce participation in the economy. There&#8217;s an urgent need to create new skills and opportunities for women and girls to fully tap into their potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q10_In_the_context_of_any_country_which_one_of_the_following_would_be_considered_as_part_of_its_social_capital_2019\"><\/span>Q10. In the context of any country, which one of the following would be considered as part of its social capital? (2019)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>(a) The proportion of literates in the population <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(b) The stock of its buildings, other infrastructure and machines <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(c) The size of population in the working age group <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(d) The level of mutual trust and harmony in the society<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ans_d-4\"><\/span>Ans. (d)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Within any nation, the degree of mutual trust and cohesion within its society constitutes an integral component of its social capital. Social capital encompasses the elements of well-functioning social groups, comprising interpersonal connections, a collective sense of identity, shared understanding, communal norms, and the presence of mutual trust and harmony.<br>This reservoir of social capital empowers a collective to collaborate efficiently towards a unified objective or aspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q11_In_a_given_year_in_India_official_poverty_lines_are_higher_in_some_states_than_in_others_because_2019\"><\/span>Q11.

The NITI Aayog gauges poverty nationwide through consumer expenditure surveys carried out by the NSSO (National Sample Survey Office). Consequently, noticeable price discrepancies emerge, leading to variations in poverty thresholds among states across India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q12_Match_List_I_with_List_II_and_select_answer_using_the_codes_given_below_the_lists_2020\"><\/span>Q12.

It&#8217;s alternatively labeled as an upswing, upturn, or growth period. During a boom, key economic indicators like Gross Domestic Product (GDP) experience an upward trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recession denotes a slowdown or significant contraction in economic activities, often triggered by a notable decline in spending. It constitutes a period of widespread economic decline, typically accompanied by a downturn in the stock market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depression, within economics, signifies a severe downturn in the business cycle characterized by sharp and prolonged declines in economic activity, alongside elevated rates of unemployment, poverty, and homelessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Economic recovery represents the phase of the business cycle subsequent to the recession, marked by a sustained period of improving business activity. However, government policies may at times impede the economic recovery process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q13_Consider_the_investment_in_the_following_assets_2023\"><\/span>Q13.
