(Online Course) Essay Writing Skills Improvement Programme: Essays on Philosophical - The Pen is Mightier Than The Sword Posted: 05 Sep 2012 11:59 PM PDT Part E - Essays on Philosophical & Quotation based issues The Pen is Mightier Than The Sword Early man lived on the strength of his muscle power. In the struggle for existence, it was the survival of the fittest. Gradually, man became civilised and progressed in various fields. The destinies of nations were shaped by wars. Later on, man realised that the use of weapons could not solve all problems. Weapons could kill a man but could not bring about a change of heart. Ideas have a much larger impact than violence. Force is incapable of changing the ideas and beliefs of the people. When people are influenced by new ideas, changes occur in the society. Ideas are propagated by writing. Brave deeds and valour shown in the battlefield are certainly praiseworthy. But no clash of arms could achieve what great men through their writings have achieved. The invention of the printing press by Johann Gutenberg has helped man to store and propagate his thoughts, beliefs and ideas. The printed word has become the most powerful medium of propagation of the same. Newspapers have become a mighty weapon. Public opinion is generally built up not by clash of arms but by the writings of great men and by newspapers. The pen has been able to make the people stand up against tyranny and injustice. Pen stands for expression, for literature, for what comes out of a writer's pen. And it is true that literature or writing wields far more power than arms can ever wield. Battles are fought over a certain period time and within a particular area. They certainly affect and influence events but in a limited way. The effect of the pen or literature is wide. Sometimes it is universal. The messages of Buddha, Christ, Confucius, Gandhi and Marx are universal in their appeal. They are valid for all times and for all climes. The sword has a physical effect, it hardly affects times and for all climes. The sword has a physical effect, it hardly affects the mind and the spirit, while the pen affects the mind, intellect and spirit. The latter can shape the minds, hearts and spirit of people in a desired way if only the wielder has the mastery of its use in the required measure.

(Online Course) Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012: PIB - India and AARDO in Search of New Horizons Posted: 05 Sep 2012 11:22 PM PDT Press Information Bureau India and AARDO in Search of New Horizons India had played a leading role in struggle for political emancipation of many nations of Africa. The Mahatma once said "India's heart pines for Africa". Due to shared history, commonality of issues and challenges and geopolitical reasons India has been a strong votary and architect of solidarity and cooperation among Afro-Asian nations. From Bandung to hey days of Non-alignment and pinnacle of South-South Cooperation India has always stood up for a closer relationship and collective approach among the countries of the region on every possible sphere.Afro-Asian Rural Development Organisation (AARDO) is the culmination of a unique camaraderie and resolve in exploring innovative and effective ways and means to strengthen cooperation between Asia and Africa in the field of rural development. AARDO is one of the earliest examples of South-South cooperation in rural development in the Afro-Asian region. It is an autonomous inter-governmental organisation. Notwithstanding the growing and rapid urbanization of the countries of the region, an average 68 per cent of population in the region still live in rural areas. More than two-thirds of the world population lives in this region. Paradoxically, three-fourth of world's poor also live here. No doubt poverty is a global phenomenon; it however does not affect every region of the world equally. Worldwide 2.7 billion people live on less than $2 a day, and 1.1 billion people live on under $1 a day. In Sub- Saharan Africa almost 50% of the population lives on under $1 a day. Thirty-two of the world's forty eight poorest countries are located in this region. Similarly, Southeast Asia account for approximately half of the world's poor. Of a population of 1.3 billion, 85% live on less than $2 a day. Dear Candidate, This Material is from Our Study Kit of Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012 .

(Online Course) Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012: Sci & Tech Issues - 3D Glasses Posted: 05 Sep 2012 11:14 PM PDT Science and Technological Issues 3D Glasses Q. Why do we use only red, blue and green colours in 3D glasses? Answer: Presence of any object or image on a screen is perceived by the brain from the light reflected by it and received by the eye as stimuli in the human visual (neural) system. The human visual system basically splits the reflected light in to three components corresponding to blue, green and red regions of the visible spectrum. Also it is possible to produce any colour just by mixing/ controlling the relative intensities of these three colors. Hence these three colours are called primary colours and are quantified in terms of tri-stimulus values.

(Online Course) GS Concepts : Energy - Nuclear Power in India Posted: 05 Sep 2012 11:04 PM PDT Subject : Environment Chapter : Energy Topic: Nuclear Power in India Nuclear power is the fourth-largest source of electricity in India after thermal, hydroelectric and renewable sources of electricity. As of 2010, India has 20 nuclear reactors in operation in six nuclear power plants, generating 4,780 MW while seven other reactors are under construction and are expected to generate an additional 5,300 MW. In October 2010, India drew up "an ambitious plan to reach a nuclear power capacity of 63,000 MW in 2032". However, especially since the March 2011 Japanese Fukushima nuclear disaster, "populations around proposed Indian NPP sites have launched protests that are now finding resonance around the country, raising questions about atomic energy as a clean and safe alternative to fossil fuels". Assurances by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that all safety measures will be implemented, have not been heeded, and there have thus been mass protests against the French-backed 9900 MW Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project in Maharashtra and the 2000 MW Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant in Tamil Nadu. The state government of West Bengal state has also refused permission to a proposed 6000 MW facility near the town of Haripur that intended to host six Russian reactors. A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has also been filed against the government's civil nuclear program at the apex Supreme Court. The PIL specifically asks for the "staying of all proposed nuclear power plants till satisfactory safety measures and cost-benefit analyses are completed by independent agencies".

(Online Course) Pub Ad for IAS Mains: Chapter: 5 (Plans and Priorities) - National Development Council (Paper -2) Posted: 05 Sep 2012 10:59 PM PDT Paper - 2 Chapter: 5 (Plans and Priorities) National Development Council Planning Commission is referred to as unfederal body at times.
