(Online Course) Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012: Yojana Magazine - Population Growth & Millennium Development Goals Posted: 14 Aug 2012 12:56 AM PDT Yojana Magazine POPULATION GROWTH AND MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN INDIA Question : How population growth can affect the Millennium Development Goals? Answer: Population growth is the resultant of both natural increase and net-migration. Natural increase is the net of birth rate over death rate while net-migration is the excess of in-migration over out migration. Population growth has direct impact on seven of the eight MDGs. At the micro level, rapid population growth creates a demographic-poverty trap. Large families tend to be poorer, suffer disproportionately from illness, makes less use of health services. Smaller families invest more in each child's nutrition and health. At the macro level, the amount of resources, personnel and the infrastructure required to meet the MDGs will be substantially higher with higher population growth. Population growth and eradication of extreme poverty and hunger Goal one of MDGs aims at eradication of poverty and hunger between 1990 and 2015. While poverty is measured with respect to consumption / income, hunger is measured by reduction of underweight children under-five years of age and population below minimum level of dietary consumption. Higher population growth adversely affects the reduction of poverty and hunger in the population, both at micro and macro level.

(Online Course) Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012: Yojana Magazine - The Emergence of Hydroponics Posted: 14 Aug 2012 12:43 AM PDT Yojana Magazine The Emergence of Hydroponics Ever wondered, living in an urban landscape comprising of only concrete platform, where sight of a clean open land for cultivation is a far fetched dream, is there any possibility of growing your choicest plants and tasting your favorite vegetables grown in your own "farm"? In the first instance, most may just laugh over it. One would wonder how it is possible for a plant to grow without soil & without access to nutrients. Well it's no longeran impossibility. Basically, plants needs light, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water and nutrients (17 essential nutrients). Soil is the medium for water and nutrient. In a city, it is difficult to expect enough land and soil to grow plants because it is almost fully covered by concrete and in other areas, soil is exposed to heavy pollution. We can however, have a plant cultivated not in field but on desk, let's say it's called Desktop Cultivation. Q. What is Hydrophonics? Discuss its benefits and drawbacks. Answer: Hydroponics (from the Greek words hydro, water and ponos, labor) is a technology for growing plants in nutrient elements needed for optimum plant growth with or without the use of an inertmedium such as gravel, vermiculite, rockwool, peatmoss, saw dust, coir dust, coconut fiber. The term Hydroponicswas coined by ProfessorWilliamFrederick Gericke of the University of California at Berkeley in the year 1937 (`Hydroponics', an Italian term that connotes water working and was coined in the 1930s). Gericke created a sensation by growing tomato vines twenty-five feet high in his back yard in Benefits: Utilization of space: one of the main advantages of hydroponics is the possibility of using urban spaces which hitherto had not been considered adequate for growing food i.e. balconies, small gardens, party walls, rooftops. Optimum water consumption: water is recycled and does not pollute the environment. : It's a "3R" technology. Where water is reduced, reused and recycled in the process of cultivation of crops. Hydroponic products are healthier: Pesticides are rarely used in hydroponics and pests and diseases that affect crops come from their direct contact with the soil are also absent.

(Online Course) Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012: The Hindu - To IB or not to IB, that is the Question Posted: 14 Aug 2012 12:31 AM PDT The Hindu To IB or not to IB, that is the Question Q. Why most of the Indian States are opposing proposed NCTC Act? The CIA had a Counter-TerrorismCentre (CTC) for tasks of co-ordination and follow-up action on the intelligence collected by various agencies. The CTC had officers taken on deputation from different agencies. They worked under a CIA officer. But his model of the Indian NCTC differs from the U.S. model in two respects.

In the political field the multi-state system of the day was gradually liquidated. From the very beginning the Turkish sultans struggled to centralize political power under an absolute monarch. The Turkish sultan took effective steps to neutrlalise localism in administration and legal immunity of the feudal lords. In this attempt the institution of the Iqta was used as an instrument for breaking the feudal traditions of various areas and for linking up far flung parts of the empire to one centre.
