(Interview) UPSC Interview By Kumar Ashish : AIR -363 (Dr. K. K. Paul Sir’s Board), CSE-2011

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 04:20 AM PDT


UPSC Interview By Kumar Ashish

Name: KUMAR ASHISH
Interview Date:
19th March 2012

Dr. K. K. Paul Sir's Board

KKP: What's your name? Is it Ashish Kumar or Kumar Ashish?
Me:
Sir, my name is Kumar Ashish…

KKP: Why it is Kumar Ashish? Are you also inspired by Saas-Bahu Serials having a fascination about "K" letter?
Me: No Sir, it isn't inspired by any serial. Please allow me to quote that my Father is a big fan of Rajendra Kumar, yesteryears Hero of Bollywood. He is having a son named "Kumar Gaurav" and the year when I was born, a new film of his was in the market "Love-story". So, I think taking inspiration from his name, my Father put my name as "Kumar" first, then "Ashish" (Everybody laughed at this juncture except KKP sir)

KKP: your optional are Geography and French Literature, right?
Me: Yes Sir, but I have read them only for UPSC preparation, while I have read French Lit., culture, civilization, history in my Graduation years.

KKP: Ok, do you know Siachen? Which are the two rivers who get melted water from Siachen glacier?
Me: Sir, I am not very sure about them.

KKP: which is the biggest river in that area?
Me: Sir, its Indus.

KKP: and what are the two major tributaries of Indus in that region?
Me: Sir, they are Shyok and Nubra.

KKP: So they are those two rivers. Have you heard about Ganga? Name its tributaries from North, sequence wise from west to east.
Me: thank you Sir. Yes sir, I have heard about Ganga River. Her tributaries from west to east are: Ramganga, Rapti, Sharda, Kali, Gomati, Gandak, Baghmati, Kosi….

KKP: Ghaghra is there?
Me: yes Sir, Ghaghra is also there.

KKP: one more is there….
Me:
Sir, I am unable to recall it now.

KKP: what is Fault Line+ Double trap+ 2-3 more topics..?
Me:
I do not remember it now sir…

KKP: what are L-waves?
Me:
Sir, this is the third wave-type generated during a seismic activity. It runs through the surface and causes huge destruction.

KKP: what are other waves? What are the characteristics of these waves?
Me:
Sir, they are P-wave, S-wave and then L-wave. P-wave (Primary wave) originates at the focus and travels with a speed more than 7-8km. While S-wave (Secondary wave) comes later at almost half speed of that of P-wave. It can't cross any liquid or molten area. The main destructive activities are caused by L-wave (Love wave) on the surface.

(Online Course) Pub Ad for IAS Mains: Chapter: 6 Administrative Law - Delegated Legislation (Paper -1)

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 02:42 AM PDT


Paper - 1
Chapter: 6 (Administrative Law)

Delegated Legislation

In order to reduce pressure on parliamentary time acts of parliament often give Government Ministers or opt per authorities the power to regulate administration details by means risk that delegating powers to executive might undermine the authority of parliament," such powers are normally only gate —to authorities directing accountable to parliament. The relevant Acts sometimes provide for some measure of direct parliamentary control over proposed delegated legislation, by giving parliament authorities to affirm or respect it. Parliament also has authority to see whether the rules and regulation and framed in accordance with powers it delegated.

Delegated legislation (also referred to as secondary legislation or subordinate legislation) is law made by an executive authority under powers given to them by primary legislation in order to implement and administer the requirements of that primary legislation\Delegated legislation is the name given to legislation or law that is passed otherwise than in an Act of Parliament. Instead, an enabling Act (also known as the parent Act or empowering Act) confers a power to make delegated legislation on a Government Minister or another person or body. Several thousand pieces of legislation are made each year, compared with only a few dozen Acts of parliament aced legislation can be used for a wide variety of purposes, ran in from relatively narrow, technical matters , to filling in the detail of how an Act setting out broad principles will be implemented in practice.

Delegated legislation is a technique to relieve pressure on legislative time so that it can concentrate on principles and formulation of policies. In the Indian context under Article 77 resident has power to make rules for more convenient trans of business of government. India, rules and regulation, orders, notifications by laws form part of delegated legislation.

Factors responsible for growth of delegated legislation

  1. Lack of time for legislature to shape Legislative details which are technical in nature were administration expertise is required. e.g.- Environmental standard, Intellectual property laws and legislative measures to ego term -and eradicate various diseases.

  2. The subject matter of legislation being technical, complex and, unsuitable for debate in legislature.

  3. Democratizing of rule making process by providing for "Consultation with dected interest"

  4. Advantages of flexibility scope for experiments then the delegated legislation technique is employed.

  5. Further, socio-economic teams being experimental in Initial stages and practical difficulties at stage of implementation cannot be foreseen.

  6. International Community: Delegated legislation is an effective instrument to bring about changes in domestic rules and regulations in accordance with changes that are taking place at global level. For ex., if a country signs a bilateral or a multilateral trees, the provisions of treaty should be incorporated in domestic laws. They do not require legislative approval because legislature already passed those treaties at policy level.

  7. New Economic Issues: Executive has to take into consideration the changing global - economic environment and has to exploit the process of globalization to benefit the interests of country. For this it has to make necessary and continuous changes to rules and regulations so that they became simplified in nature and can help in enhance efficiency of bureaucracy.

  8. Volatile Environment: Stable political economic and cultural environment do not require radical changes in rules and regulations. On the contrary, unstable conditions demand immediate and rapid changes! is can done only through the process of delegated.

  9. Volume of work with the legislature: Because of increasing complexity in nature of activities performed by government, legislation is overburdened with policy making. In order to reduce the burden it has been suggested that legislature can use the technique of delegate legislation to reduce burden on its shoulders.

(Online Course) History for IAS Mains: Cultural Traditions in India, 750-1200 - Philosophy [Skankaracharya and Vedanta]

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 12:09 AM PDT


Cultural Traditions in India, 750-1200

Topic: Philosophy: Skankaracharya and Vedanta

Question : The Vedanta of Sankracharya.

Answer: Sankracharya was an orthodox Brahman for whom all the Vedic literature was sacred and unquestionably true. To harmonise its many paradoxes he had recourse to an expedient already known in Buddhism, that of a double standard of truth. On the every day level of truth the world was produced by Brahama, and went through an evolutionary process similar to that taught by the Sankhya school from which Sankracharya took over the doctrine of the three guns. But on the highest level of truth the whole phenomenal universe, including the God themselves, was unrealthe world was maya, an illusion, a dream, a mirage, a figment of imagination. Ultimately the only reality was Brahman, the impersonal world soul of the Upanishads, with which the individual soul was identical.
