Constitutional Development in India
1 Department – Political Science and Human Rights Semester- B.A. 2nd Semester Paper- Indian Government and Politics Note- I do not claim the material provided hereunder as my intellectual property as this is the collection from the writings of different scholars uploaded on websites. I have just collected, edited and arranged articles in one file according to syllabus for the purpose of enriching the students for preparation of their exams during the lockdown period. Students can also use various online sources for better understanding. I expressed my heartfelt thanks to all the authors whose writings have been incorporated in preparing this material. Constitutional Development in India Constitution is the basic principles and laws of a nation, state, or social group that determine the powers and duties of the government and guarantee certain rights to the people in it. It is a written instrument embodying the rules of a political or social organization. It is a method in which a state or society is organized and sovereign power is distributed. A constitution is a set of fundamental principles according to which a state is constituted or governed. The Constitution specifies the basic allocation of power in a State and decides who gets to decide what the laws will be. The Constitution first defines how a Parliament will be organized and empowers the Parliament to decide the laws and policies. The Constitution sets some limitations on the Government as to what extent a Government can impose rules and policies on its citizen. These limits are fundamental in the sense that the Government may never trespass them.

Smart Border Management: Indian Coastal and Maritime Security
Contents Foreword p2/ Preface p3/ Overview p4/ Current initiatives p12/ Challenges and way forward p25/ International examples p28/Sources p32/ Glossary p36/ FICCI Security Department p38 Smart border management: Indian coastal and maritime security September 2017 www.pwc.in Dr Sanjaya Baru Secretary General Foreword 1 FICCI India’s long coastline presents a variety of security challenges including illegal landing of arms and explosives at isolated spots on the coast, infiltration/ex-filtration of anti-national elements, use of the sea and off shore islands for criminal activities, and smuggling of consumer and intermediate goods through sea routes. Absence of physical barriers on the coast and presence of vital industrial and defence installations near the coast also enhance the vulnerability of the coasts to illegal cross-border activities. In addition, the Indian Ocean Region is of strategic importance to India’s security. A substantial part of India’s external trade and energy supplies pass through this region. The security of India’s island territories, in particular, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, remains an important priority. Drug trafficking, sea-piracy and other clandestine activities such as gun running are emerging as new challenges to security management in the Indian Ocean region. FICCI believes that industry has the technological capability to implement border management solutions. The government could consider exploring integrated solutions provided by industry for strengthening coastal security of the country. The FICCI-PwC report on ‘Smart border management: Indian coastal and maritime security’ highlights the initiatives being taken by the Central and state governments to strengthen coastal security measures in the country.

Where We Are Energy Is One of the Major Drivers of a Growing Economy Like UNFCCC Negotiations for a New Climate Agreement in 2015
Coal is still India’s mainstay, in spite of coal combustion being a major source of GHG emissions. However, the Government is proactive in its policy stance and hence it is in the process of rapidly diversifying our energy basket. The driving objective behind the eighth edition of the annual Environment and Energy Conclave is to bring to board the latest developments in the country both in the policy realm as well as in the investment and operational areas to realize “clean and smart” power for India. “Clean India, Green India” is also the theme of the Government of India’s Calendar 2015. But while priority in India has been given to development • particularly providing electricity for generation, transmission and distribution, focusing on smart the millions who live without it • and tackling poverty, the grids and the likes, the need is to ensure collective R&D effort Government is also working feverishly towards a Climate and collaboration in the direction of having a clean energy Resilient India, with adequate national safeguards in the path. Investments from G20 nations, setting up a global virtual centre for clean energy research and development and focusing on energy conservation across the board are being prioritized. We believe that there is an urgent need to address Clean Power as an integral part of Swachh Bharat Mission for the sake of our future generations. Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is a national level campaign by the Government of India, covering towns in India to clean the streets, roads and infrastructure of the country.
