Basic NumeracyNumber SystemA Civil Servant should be well-versed in basics of Number System. In the Civil Services Aptitude Test Paper 2, in Basic Numeracy, certainly there will be asked some questions based on types of, and operations on numbers. In Indian system, numbers are expressed by means of symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, called digits. Here, 0 is called insignificant digit whereas 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are called significant digits. We can express a number in two ways. Notation: Representing a number in figures is known as notation as 350. Numeration: Representing a number in words is known as numeration as 'Five hundred and forty five'. Face Value and Place Value of a Digit:Face Value: It is the value of the digit itself eg, in 3452, face value of 4 is 'four', face value of 2 is 'two'. Place Value: It is the face value of the digit multiplied by the place value at which it is situated eg, in 2586, place value of 5 is 5 × 102 = 500. Number Categories:Natural Numbers (N): If N is the set of natural numbers, then we write N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,…} The smallest natural number is 1. Whole Numbers (W): If W is the set of whole numbers, then we write W = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,…} The smallest whole number is 0. Integers (I): If I is the set of integers, then we write I = {– 3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …} Rational Numbers: Any number which can be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are both integers and q # 0 are called rational numbers. eg, 3/2, -7/9, 5, -2 There exists infinite number of rational numbers between any two rational numbers. Irrational Numbers: Non-recurring and non-terminating decimals are called irrational numbers.

| (Online Course) Essay Writing Skills Improvement Programme: Women Empowerment - A Reality or Myth Posted: 13 Aug 2012 02:34 AM PDT
Part C - Essays on Social issuesWomen Empowerment - A Reality or MythAnswer: In the new millennium the Government of India had ushered by declaring the year 2001 as 'Women's Empowerment Year' to focus on a vision 'where women are equal partners like men'. The ability to exercise full control over one's actions is the most common explanation of 'women's empowerment'. The last decades have witnessed some basic changes in the status and role of women in our society. There has been shift in policy approaches from the concept of 'welfare' in the seventies to 'development' in the eighties and now to 'empowerment' in the nineties. This process has been further accelerated with some sections of women becoming increasingly self-conscious of their discrimination in several areas of family and public life. They are also in a position to mobilize themselves on issues that can affect their overall position. Tulsidas' verse from Ramayana 'Dhol, janwar, shudra, pashu, nari ye sub nindan ke adhikari' highlights the discrimination and deep-rooted gender bias which still exists in all sectors on the basis of caste, community, religious affiliation and class. The Constitution of India grants equality to women in various fields of life. Yet a large number of women are either ill equipped or not in a position to propel themselves out of their traditionally unsatisfactory socio-economic conditions. They are often absorbed in the struggle to sustain the family physically and emotionally and as a rule are discouraged from taking interest in affairs outside home. Oppression and atrocities on women are still rampant. Patriarchy continues to be embedded in the social system in many parts of India, denying a majority of women the choice to decide on how they live. Female infanticide continues to be common. Statistics show that there is still a very high preference for a male child in states like UP, MP, Punjab etc. The male to female ratio is very high in these states. Domestic violence is also widespread and is also associated with dowry. Leaving a meager number of urban and sub-urban women, Indian women are still crying for social justice.

Yojana MagazineBroadening Base of E-Governance in IndiaTechnological change shave certainly improved the living status of Indians. Broadened base of television and telephony services has filled the gap between the rich and poor in way of access and use of technological innovations. This technological advancement is, however, a little slow in the area of computer-aided services. It is because of two basic difficulties of this sector – first is the ready availability of computer system, which is still a costly affair for an average-income earning Indian and the second is ignorance and lack of information of available computer-aided facilities and their huge benefits over the conventional system. Question : Give a brief description of the government's initiatives to enhance e-Governance.Governments today are also taking initiatives to provide basic amenities and facilities electronically. In this way, they want to reach closer to every citizen, provide easy access to government programmes and make it easy for citizens to pay their taxes etc. In e-governance, various facilities and functions of government are available to the public through web portals with the help of internet. Here, a citizen can access the services with the use of computer and internet and is saved the long waits in tedious queues. For example the filing of income-tax returns, registration of companies, applications for new or renewal of passports, and other similar services available through electronic system. In the sense of customer to customer (C2C) electronic businessmodule, e-governance is Government to resident (G2R)module, electronically connecting administrators with the remotest citizen for welfare of the society and Rs.ease in use' purposes. However, in our country, e-governance services are, as of now, largely benefitting the urban and computer-savvy peoples, while their reach among the poor and rural people needs to be enhanced. In a country like India where internet penetration and usage are low, and there are a huge number of people who do not have any access to computers, e-services can expand only at the initiative of the government- the government has to reach each beneficiary even if the beneficiary himself finds it difficult to reach for and demand the service. It is only this approach that can ensure that the services are affordable and easily accessible, and hence feasible. It is in this context that the new Aadhar' project is important for us - it can facilitate the inclusion of maximum possible population under e-governed state.

Yojana MagazineEnergy Consumption In India's Household Sector: Social And Economic DimensionsQuestion. Evaluate the households energy use pattern in India.Answer: In India around half of the total non-commercial energy consumption is accounted for by the household sector (GoI, 1979, CMIE, 2001). The non-commercial energy sources include fuel wood, crop-residues, cow-dung and charcoal, among which fuel-wood is the most popular and predominantly used in the consumption of household energy. Even today with the advancement of science and technology, more than 60 per cent of Indian households depend on the traditional sources of energy for meeting their energy needs. In spite of the various Government efforts towards promoting cleaner fuels, the approach has not been very successful in bringing changes in the type of energy used, specifically for the lower income groups. In the recent past there has been a change in approaches. Dear Candidate, This Material is from Our Study Kit of Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012 .

The draft text makes some references to the importance of water for people and Nature, but is disproportionately focussed on treating water as an economic good. Such an approach predicated on realising the costs that go into the supply of water can only distort access and prices in the long run, affecting less affluent citizens.
