Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
- The British Government abolished slavery across the British Empire in 1833.
- The Indentured Labour Scheme was established after the abolition of slavery by the British Empire.
- The system of indentured labour was abolished after the independence of India.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: In August 1833, the British Parliament passed An Act for the Abolition of Slavery throughout the British Colonies, converting enslaved people into apprentice labourers. The 1833 Act outlawed British trade in enslaved people. It stated that ‘all such persons should be manumitted [freed by their enslaver] and set free and that a reasonable Compensation should be made available to the Persons hitherto entitled to the Services of such Slaves’.
- Statement 2 is correct: Indenture system was an alternate source of labour for the British Empire.It first started with the labourers being sent to work in Mauritius, Uganda and Nigeria for an initial 5 year period. This system became widely known as “Girmit” – a mispronunciation of the word “agreement” by the non-English speaking Indian labourers. The indenture system formally came into existence in the year 1834.
Statement 3 is not correct: In 1917 the system of indentured labourers officially ended when the British government abolished it

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following:
- Right to hold the forest land under the individual occupation for habitation
- Community rights such as nistar
- Rights for conversion of Pattas issued by any State Government on forest lands to titles
- Rights of conversion of all forest villages into revenue villages
How many of the above forest rights are available to the forest dwelling Scheduled Tribes under the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006?
Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
- The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006, concerns the rights of forest-dwelling communities to land and other resources, denied to them over decades as a result of the continuance of colonial forest laws in India.
- The following rights, which secure individual or community tenure or both, shall be the forest rights of forest dwelling Scheduled Tribes and other traditional forest dwellers on all forest lands, namely:
- Point 1 is correct: right to hold and live in the forest land under the individual or common occupation for habitation or for self-cultivation for livelihood by a member or members of a forest dwelling Scheduled Tribe or other traditional forest dwellers
- Point 2 is correct: community rights such as nistar, by whatever name called, including those used in erstwhile Princely States, Zamindari or such intermediary regimes
- Point 3 is correct: rights for conversion of Pattas or leases or grants issued by any local authority or any State Government on forest lands to titles
Point 4 is correct: rights of settlement and conversion of all forest villages, old habitation, unsurveyed villages and other villages in forests, whether recorded, notified or not into revenue villages

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to GenomeIndia Project:
- It is a flagship programme of the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
- Its primary aim is to construct a comprehensive catalogue of genetic variations for India’s population.
- The second phase of the project would involve sequencing the genomes of those with specific disease.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is not correct: GenomeIndia is a visionary national project funded by the Department of Biotechnology, Union Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India. It was launched in 2020.
- Statement 2 is correct: Its ambitious goal is to sequence 10,000 genomes from healthy Indian individuals spanning the length and breadth of the country. The primary aim of GenomeIndia is to construct a comprehensive catalogue of genetic variations for India’s population that will better capture our unique diversity. This initiative is not just about decoding our genes; it is about creating a detailed reference that encapsulates the Indian population’s genetic makeup and enables a deeper understanding of its diversity.
Statement 3 is correct: The second phase of the project would involve sequencing the genomes of those with specific disease. This will enable researchers compare the diseased genomes with the healthy ones, helping in identifying genes that are responsible for or pre-dispose a person to certain diseases. They may be able to study the genetic changes when someone gets a disease, take for example cancer.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to Sada Plateau:
- These are lateritic plateaus that are found in northern Western Ghats.
- The habitat remains parched dry through summer and winter months.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Lateritic plateaus or plateaux (locally known as sadas) are a distinct geographical feature of northern Western Ghats (Surat to Goa), India.
- Based on altitude, the plateaus of Maharashtra, can be categorized into two types: low altitude lateritic plateaus (below 100 m) commonly found in Konkan region and high altitude lateritic plateaus (above 800 m) mainly concentrated in the Western Ghats of Satara, Kolhapur and Ratnagiri districts.
- These flat topped landscapes have been variously termed asduricrusts, ferricretes, laterites or table-lands.
Statement 2 is correct: Physical and anthropogenic factors have led to the formation of diverse vegetation types on each Sadas. The habitat is mainly suitable for monsoon flora and fauna and remains parched dry through summer and winter months. This barren appearance of Sadas has led to their categorization as wastelands further leading to neglect of their conservation significance. Western Ghats Sadas are known to have high endemism in flora threatened species and globally unique plant communities
