(b) 1, 3 and 4
(c) 3, 4 and 5 (c) 3, 4 और 5
(d) 2 and 5
(d) 2 और 5
Answer- A
Finance commission and NITI Aayog are of advisory nature, they do not review the functioning of
any regulator. So, 3 and 5 are clearly wrong. FSLRC was setup once to review financial legislations,
and not regulators in the country. So, 4 is also wrong.
The Parliamentary Departmental related standing Committees may do such work, and the ad hoc
committees sometimes setup to review the working of regulators specific to their respective
departments.

b) 1 and 3 only c) 2 और 3 िेवि
c) 2 and 3 only d) 1,2 और 3
d) 1,2 and 3
Answer-A
Cloud seeding is a form of weather modification, a way of changing the amount or type of
precipitation that falls from clouds, by dispersing substances into the air that serve as cloud
condensation or ice nuclei, which alter the microphysical processes within the cloud.
The usual intent is to increase precipitation (rain or snow), but hail and fog suppression are also
widely practiced in airports.
The most common chemicals used for cloud seeding include silver iodide, potassium iodide and dry
ice (solid carbon dioxide). Liquid propane, which expands into a gas, has also been used. This can
produce ice crystals at higher temperatures than silver iodide

(b) 2 and 3 only (c) 3 ही
(c) 3 only (d) 1, 2 और 3
(d) 1, 2 and 3
Answer- A
S1 is correct
The central government has the power to notify “minor minerals” under section 3 (e) of the MMDR
Act, 1957. On the other hand, as per Section 15 of the MMDR Act, 1957 State Governments have
complete powers for making Rules for grant of concessions in respect of extraction of minor minerals
and levy and collection of royalty on minor minerals.
The power to frame policy and legislation relating to minor minerals is entirely delegated to the
State Governments while policy and legislation relating to the major minerals are dealt by the
Ministry of Mines under Union /Central Government. So, S2 is incorrect and S3 is correct.

Answer-B
It is the flagship programme of the Maharashtra government launched in December 2014.
Aim: To make 5,000 villages free of water scarcity.

Under the scheme, decentralised water bodies were installed at various locations within villages to
enhance the groundwater recharge.
It also proposed to strengthen and rejuvenate water storage capacity and percolation of tanks and
other sources of storage.
Why was the scheme introduced?

About 82 per cent area of Maharashtra falls is rainfed sector while 52 per cent of area is drought
prone.
This, when coupled with natural rainfall variability and long dry spells during the monsoons, severely
hampers agriculture activities.
