Answer Key & Exp for GS Prelim Test-8 Held on 20 Th Jan' 2019
Answer Key & Exp for GS Prelim Test-8 held on 20th Jan’ 2019 1. Consider the following statements: (1) The Fundamental Duties enshrined in the Indian Constitution are applicable to the citizens of India as well as foreigners. (2) The Parliament of India can enforce the Fundamental Duties through suitable legislation. Which of the statements given above is/are correct? (a) 1 only (b) 2 only (c) Both 1 and 2 (d) Neither 1 nor 2 Answer: (b) Explanation: The Fundamental Duties (Chapter IV-A, Article 51-A) are intended to serve as a constant reminder to every Indian citizen that while the Constitution specifically conferred on them certain Fundamental Rights, it also requires citizens of India to observe certain basic norms of democratic conduct and democratic behaviour because rights and duties are co-relative. Statement 1 is not correct: The Fundamental Duties are confined to the citizens of India only and do not extend to the foreigners unlike some of the Fundamental Rights which extend to all persons whether citizens or foreigners. Statement 2 is correct: The Fundamental Duties are also non-justiciable like the Directive Principles of State Policy. The Constitution does not provide for their direct enforcement by the courts. Moreover, there is no legal sanction against their violation. However, the Parliament of India is free to enforce them by suitable legislation. Sources: Vajiram & Ravi Institute Yellow Book; Part 1, Ch.10: Fundamental Duties, Pg.100-102 Indian Polity by M Laxmikanth- Chapter 9: Fundamental Duties, page no. 9.2 2.

Brief on Zonal Councils
Brief on Zonal Councils There are five Zonal Councils which are statutory bodies set up under the States Re-organization Act, 1956 to provide a common meeting ground to the States and UTs in each zone for resolution of inter-state and regional issues, fostering balanced socio-economic regional development and building harmonious Centre- State relations. The Zonal Council meetings are chaired by the Union Home Minister. The Chief Ministers and two Ministers from the member States are the members in each Zonal Council. In case of UTs, there are two members from each UT. Each Zonal Council has set up a Standing Committee consisting of Chief Secretaries of the member States of the respective Zonal Councils. The Standing Committees meet from time to time to resolve the issues or to do necessary ground work for further meetings of the Zonal Councils. Senior officers from the NITI Aayog (erstwhile Planning Commission), Central Ministries and State Governments are associated with the meetings depending upon necessity. Meetings of Standing Committees and Zonal Councils Considering the great potential of this forum in resolving regional and inter-state issues through cordial discussions, the present government reviewed the work of Zonal Councils in 2014 and instructed the Inter State Council Secretariat to reactivate the Councils and convene regular meetings. The Zonal Councils have now been reactivated and the meetings of the Zonal Councils and their Standing Committees are being conducted regularly since then. During the period 2014-19, 14 meetings of the Zonal Councils under the Chairmanship of the Hon’ble Union Home Minister and 19 Standing Committee Meetings under the Chairmanship of respective Chief Secretaries have been held as detailed below: Details of meetings of Zonal Councils held from 2014 to December, 2019 No.

This paper uses the findings of the Health Index to analyse the key trends in the most essential health outcomes across States and Union Territories.

Indian Federalism Note
1 Department – Political Science and Human Rights Semester- B.A. 6th Semester Paper- Indian Federalism 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. Introduction to Federalism If you have studied our constitution carefully, you will see it calls India a “Union of States”. This statement is what gives our country a federal structure. Let us learn more about federalism and why we call India a quasi-federal country. What is Federalism? Federalism is compound mode of two governments. That is, in one system there will be a mixture of two governments – state government with central government. In India, we can describe federalism as a distribution of authority around local, national, and state governments. This is similar to Canadian model of political organization. Federalism is at its core a system where the dual machinery of government functions. Generally, under federalism, there are two levels of government. One is a central authority which looks after the major affairs of the country. The other is more of a local government which looks after the day to day functioning and activities of their particular region. For example, our Indian Constitution says that India too is a federal country.
