⇒ 2021: Modi Govt replied in Lok Sabha: “The Government of India has decided not to enumerate
caste-wise population other than SCs and STs in Census.”
😰😰Controversy? if the OBC census is done and it is found that certain castes have benefited too
much and some OBC castes / unreserved castes benefited too less, then it may create some new set of
controversy about reservation so perhaps the government indecisive about it. [यिद ओबीसी जनगणना क�
जाती है और यह पाया जाता है िक कु छ जा�तयों को �श�ा और रोजगार म� ब�त अ�धक लाभ �आ है और कु छ ओबीसी जा�तयों/अनार��त
जा�तयों को ब�त कम अवसर �मले ह�, तो आर�ण के बारे म� कु छ नया �ववाद पैदा कर सकता है, इस�लए शायद सरकार इसे टाल रही है]
60.1.1 🕵🕵🔢🔢Census → Demand for OBC Caste Census → OBC Sub-categorization
ओबीसी उप-वग�करण = जैसे �बहार रा� सरकार द�लत और महाद�लत ऐसा उप-वग�करण करती है. उसी तजर् पर ओबीसी म� कम-
समृद्ध समुदायों को आर�ण म� अलग से आंत�रक कोटा दीए जाने पर �वचार
⇒ (Origin of OBC Reservation) While the term ‘OBC’ is not mentioned in the Constitution,
⇒ Article 15 allows the State to make special provisions for the advancement of any socially &
educationally backward classes (SEBC) of citizens. [सं �वधान म� ओबीसी श� का �जक्र नहीं है]
⇒ 1979: Mandal Commission gave report on SEBC.
⇒ 1990: PM VP Singh granted 27% reservation to OBC in central Govt jobs & admissions, which
was permitted by the Indra Swahny Judgement with certain caveats (50% ceiling, creamy layer
etc. READ Polity for me) [सरकारी नौकरी और �श�ा सं �ानों म� 27% आर�ण].
⇒ (Origin: why Sub-categorization) over the years, certain communities within OBC list have
benefitted more than other OBC communities. So, OBC Sub-categorisation is an attempt to
divide the OBCs into two groups: 1) more affluent ones & 2) less affluent ones. [ओबीसी उप-वग�करण
: “�ादा समृद्ध” और “कम समृद्ध” जा�तयों म� िकया जाए]
⇒ so that the less-affluent ones may be given separate quota within 27%, & some additional
schemes / funds earmarked only for them.
⇒ Article 340 allows the President of India to appoint a commission to investigate into the issues
related to SEBC → . 2017: A commission under Justice G. Rohini to look into the issue of OBC-
subcategorization. → it is given extension till 31/JULY/2021 (आयोग क� अव�ध को बढ़ाया गया है).
⇒ Journalists speculate that: Justice G. Rohini may be given extension till 31/Jan/2022 and that she
has given following recommendation: [पत्रकारों का अनुमान है िक आयोग ने �न� �सफा�रश क� है]
Sub-Categorization No. of OBC Castes Reservation
OBC.CATEGORY.1 1674 [they benefitted a lot in past, 2%
In future, give them less reservation]
OBC.CATEGORY.2 534 6%
OBC.CATEGORY.3 328 9%
OBC.CATEGORY.4 97 10%
Total 2633 OBC Castes → 27%
⇒ 2020-Dec: result declared for 22 State/UT (Phase-1). Remaining 14 State/UT will be surveyed in
Phase-2. [28 States + 8 UT = 36.]
⇒ Total Fertility Rates (TFR) has ⏬ in almost 22 State/UT Except 3 states viz. Manipur (2.2),
Meghalaya (2.9) and Bihar (3.0) have TFR above replacement levels
⇒ Sex ratio at birth is below 900 in Telangana, Himachal Pradesh. In other places it has remained
unchanged or improved.
⇒ >50% children & women anaemic in 13 States/UTs. So, the malnutrition problem is not solved
yet. (र�ा�ता और कु पोषण से पीिड़त )

⇒ focus on Children and pregnant women who have missed their (non-corona) vaccine doses
during the corona pandemic/lockdown
⇒ Focus on migrants & remote area/ hard to reach areas। प्रवासी मज़दू र प�रवार दगु र्म प्रदेश
⇒ Health ministry to use staggered approach = instead of inviting everyone at the same time,
10-10 beneficiaries will be invited. This will reduce crowding in Corona.
⇒ Environmental degradation: Men kill Monkeys, Antelopes for meat → infected with Ebola
virus. [From Africa’s Ebola river region near Congo]
⇒ China’s Wuhan’s Wildlife Meat Market: Cats, ferrets, fruit bats, hamsters, racoon, etc. →
Corona
⇒ �Boss? One Health approach is advocated by multiple orgs such as Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), the World Health
Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
Why in news? Indian govt’s Dept of animal husbandry also organizing seminars/workshops on this
matter. Then CA-PDF-wallas have gone “crazier than usual” over this topic.
61.0.4 🍋🍋Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Nidhi (PMSSN) 2021-March
उपकर का पैसा इस फं ड म� डाल�गे और �व�वध �ा� योजनाएं चलाएं गे
⇒ Govt levies 4% Health & Education Cess on direct taxes such as income tax & corporation
tax. (What is Cess? Ref: Pillar#2A) प्र�� करों पर �ा� व �श�ा उपकर
⇒ 2021-March: govt created a new “Non-Lapsable” fund under Public Account. (What is
“Non-Lapsable fund? Ref: Pillar#2D). लोक लेखा म� एक ग़ैर-��गत �न�ध बनायी जाएगी
⇒ This fund will receive ₹ ₹ from above cess. Health ministry will use this money for
⇒ 1) Ayushmann Bharat & its sub schemes like PM-JAY (5L-Health insurance),
⇒ 2) Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (setting up AIIMS-like institutions in every
state & upgrading government medical colleges).
⇒ 3) National Health Mission (NHM) रा��ीय �ा� �मशन
⇒ 4) Health emergencies like Corona �ा� आपदाएँ
because they seek medical help very late, tumour has reached advanced stage. िहचिकचाहट / जाग�कता
क� कमी के चलते �यरोग और क� सर म� भी लोग जब तक ददर् असहनीय न हो जाए, डॉ�र से �मलते नहीं. अंतत: बीमारी ब�त गं भीर
हो जाती है, मरीज़ को बचाया नहीं जा सकता।
61.1.2 🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒ES21: Healthcare Solutions: Oligopsony for universal health insurance coverage
⇒ Oligopsony = few buyers and many sellers. Then buyers can command the prices.
⇒ E.g. if individual purchases Rs. 5 lakh Health insurance from insurance company, he may have to
pay Rs 5,000-7000 [premium] scription fees= this discourages many middle-class families from
buying health insurance because the salaries are not very high.
⇒ But Rajasthan govt tied up with health insurance companies → Chiranjeevi Health Insurance
scheme. Poor get free health insurance, and non-poor (middle class) permanent residents of
Rajasthan can get it for Rs.850 premium.
⇒ So, Economic survey basically suggesting that we should adopt models of similar to 1st world
countries wherein few govt organizations / Union/State governments will purchase the
healthcare insurance for everyone & then give it for free/at affordable prices. प्रथम �व� के देशों म� कु छ
सरकारी सं �ान तमाम नाग�रकों के �लए �यं ही �ा� बीमा कं प�नयों से बीमा पॉ�लसी ख़रीदते ह� और िफर नाग�रकों को वह बीमा
पॉ�लसी मु� या िकफ़ायती दामों म� दी जाती है। इस प्रकार का मॉडल भारत म� अपनाया जाए।
61.1.3 🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒ES21: Indian Healthcare Solutions: Patient Rights like UK, Sweden
⇒ Information asymmetry = one business party possesses more information than the other party =
they can exploit the situation. E.g. Nirav Modi knew the weaknesses of Punjab National Bank’s
LOU/SWIFT messaging system, while PNB did not know about Nirav Modi’s losses in diamond
business = Nirav Modi scammed PNB. (Ref Pillar: 1B2)
⇒ Similar information asymmetry exists even in Indian healthcare industry. जानकारी/सूचना क� कमी के
चलते �ापार म� एक ��� दू सरे का ग़लत फ़ायदा उठाता है।
⇒ Treatment costs are not uniform across hospitals. Cancer treatment at 1 hospital could cost “X”
lakh ₹, & same treatment could cost “3.7X” lakh ₹ at another hospital. Similarly, cardio (6.8x),
injuries (5.9x), gastro (6.2x), and respiratory (5.2x) disease, But patient does not know what is
the price range for treatment across different hospitals, which hospital has better success rate in
saving the patients? Etc. . एक ही बीमारी क� अलग अ�तालों म� अलग अलग फ़�स होती है। मरीज़ को पता नहीं कौनसा
अ�ताल िकफ़ायती है, िकस अ�ताल म� लोग कम मरते ह�?
⇒ So just like banking industry uses credit rating agencies to pass the loan applications (Ref#1B2),
Govt should create rating agencies to assess the quality of doctors and hospitals. E.g. 2004: UK
→ National Health Service (NHS) → Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) → annual
appraisal of all doctors→ further analyses through artificial intelligence- public reports/datasets
released. So patients can know which hospital is better? what is the price range of various
surgeries etc. इं ��ड म� गुणव�ा प�रणाम �परेखा / ढांचे के अंतगर्त सभी डॉ�रों का सालाना सव��ण- इस डेटा को सावर्ज�नक
�प से प्र�ुत िकया जाता है तािक सबको पता चले अलग अलग बीमा�रयों क� फ़�स �ा होती है, कौनसा अ�ताल बेहतर है इ�ािद
⇒ 1992: Finland’s Status and Rights of Patients Law= hospitals require to release the data of how
many patients died. Ombudsman system where patients families can complain against hospital.
िफनल�ड म� मरीज़ों के अ�धकारों के �लए क़ानून- अ�तालों ने अ�नवायर् �प से मरीज़ों के मृ�ु दर का डेटा प्रका�शत करना होगा,
अ�ताल के �ख़लाफ़ �ाय देने के �लए �शकायत �नवारण अ�धकारी।
�लए �यं को सुर��त करने के �लए रा���ापी तालाबं दी। उसके बाद नई जानकारी और नए माहौल को देखते �ए धीरे धीरे लोकड़ाऊन
को खोला/ढीला गया बाक़� सब क� आजी�वका का भी र�ण हो सके ।
✋In the remaining chapter1vol1- economic survey 2021 has done great appreciation of government
lockdown policies. But in retrospect, when we compare the situation in Corona wave 2.0 most of that
appreciation looks redundant. इस पूरे प्रकरण म� कु ल �मलाकर सरकार क� पीठ थपथपायी गई है, हालाँिक कोरोना सं क्रमण क�
दू सरी लहर के बाद ये सब चीज़� / मुद्दे इतने �ादा आकषर्क नहीं िदख रहे ह�।

⇒ Which state will receive how much doses from Union Govt? Ans. Depends on 1) population, 2)
disease burden 3) progress of vaccination. [in these three parameters higher the number more
vaccine doses will be given to state] 4) wastage of vaccines= if more wastage in a State then union
will give less doses in future. [क� द्र सरकार क� इस िकस रा� को िकतनी वै�ीन देगी? जवाब= �जन रा�ों म� आबादी

Thus, there is an inverse relationship between economic growth and equality.
However, 📙📙📙📙ES21Vol1ch4: argues that:
⇒ Income Redistribution = taxing the rich→ using the money for poverty welfare. [अमीरों के कराधान
क� रक़म से ग़रीब क�ाण योजनाएं चलायी जाए- तो आय का पुन�वतरण होता है ]
⇒ ⏫ GDP growth→ more rich people→ ⏫ Tax collection→ ⏫ more income redistribution
possible. In other words, if size of GDP pie chart grows bigger, then more people will be lifted out
of poverty. [आ�थक वृ�द्ध से अमीरों क� सं �ा बढ़ेगी तो कराधान क� आमदनी बढ़ेगी= �जससे आय का �ादा पुन�वतरण सं भव]
⇒ However, ⏫ GDP growth = ⏫ inequality = gap between the rich & poor may increase e.g.
poor person’s income may ⏫ by 10% while rich people’s income may ⏫ by 200%. आ�थक वृ�द्ध से
आय क� असमानता तो बढ़ेगी.
⇒ But, we’ve to ⏫ GDP growth to remove absolute poverty / BPL e.g. not able to spend even
Rs.1000 per month in city area. िक�ु िफर भी हमने आ�थक वृ�द्ध को बनाना है तािक �नरपे� �प से ग़रीबी को कम िकया
जा सके .
⇒ American Political philosopher John Rawls: Govt should prefer a distribution system which
maximizes the income of the poorest and provides basic liberties. So, 📙📙📙📙ES21 uses his
argument to justify that even if economic growth increases inequality still, it helps poor people
earn more money so economic growth is desirable. अमरीक� राजनै�तक �चतं क जॉन रो� के मुता�बक़- सरकार ने
ऐसी पुन�वतरण �व�ा प्रणाली बनानी चािहए �जसम� अ� प्रणा�लयों क� तुलना म� गरीबो को �ादा रक़म तथा बु�नयादी �तं त्रता

�ोंिक भले तेज आ�थक वृ�द्ध से आय क� असमानता बढ़ेगी िक�ु िफर भी ग़रीब के हाथ म� पहले से �ादा पैसा आएगा.
⇒ [📙📙📙📙ES21 then wrote lengthy paragraphs about Maxmin principle, game theory, Feldstein's
experiment, permanent income hypothesis- but that much academic depth gives poor cost:
benefit from exam point of view. so we will not invest more time]
64.1.1 📙📙📙📙📙📙⚡👷👷 Trickle Down in China [आ�थक वृ�द्ध का नीचे क� ओर टपकना]
⇒ Trickle Down= Economic growth→ ⏫ when rich people’s wealth ⏫→ they will do more
investment shopping→ ⏫ jobs, income for workers. जब अमीरों क� सं प�� बढ़ेगी तो अमीर �ादा �नवेश और
ख़रीदारी कर�गे �जससे गरीबों को रोज़गार और अ�त�र� आमदनी �मलेगी।
⇒ While some critics argue that “trickle down” does not work very efficiently in real life because
rich person continues to underpay the poor, even if rich person’s own income continues to
increase. Etc. therefore economic growth does not trickle down to the poor people. हालाँिक कु छ
आलोचकों का मानना है िक इस तरह से आ�थक वृ�द्ध गरीबों क� ओर बहती/टपकती नहीं, �ोंिक चाहे आ�मर पहले से �ादा अमीर हो
जाए, वह ग़रीब को पहले से �ादा तन�ाह नहीं देता।
⇒ However, World Bank research found China’s economic growth have really trickled down
because Chinese government initiated following reforms 1) compulsory education till ninth

64.1.2 📙📙📙📙📙📙⚡👷👷 Moderate Inequality =NOT BAD! Says 📔📔📔📔ES21
⇒ 📙📙📙📙ES20 had cited Tamil Saint Thiruvalluvar that wealth creation is not a bad thing, as long as
it is created through ethical means. पैसा कमाना कोई ग़लत बात नहीं है जब तक नै�तक �प से कमाया जा रहा हो।
⇒ 📙📙📙📙ES21 cited some new American surveys showing-
⇒ 1) Americans wish that a CEO should earn $7 for every $1 earned by a factory worker. CEO
deserves this much more salary because of his qualification and talent. But if the income gap is
bigger than this level= disliked. कं पनी के CEO को मज़दू र क� तुलना म� सात गुना �ादा तन�ाह �मले उसे अमरीक�

own position. ��� अपने �-िहत के देखते �ए, असमानता को बदार्� करेगा, समथर्न करेगा, अ�ीकार करेगा
⇒ 5) Thus, people do not want total equality in income. Moderate level of inequality is considered
“just/reasonable” because some people deserve to earn more money because of their hard work
and talent. यानी क� अमरीक� सव��ण से यह �ात होता है िक लोग सं पूणर् �प से आय म� समानता नहीं चाहते। आय म� म�म �प

64.1.3 📙📙📙📙📙📙⚡👷👷 Conclusion: Eco Growth⏫ → Poverty⏬
⇒ Economic growth has a far greater impact on removing poverty than on removing inequality.
आ�थक वृ�द्ध असमानता को कम करने क� तुलना म� गरीबी को �ादा कम करती है।
⇒ Considering India’s stage of development, India must continue to focus on economic growth to
lift the poor out of poverty. Because, Redistribution is only feasible in a developing economy if
the size of the economic pie grows। भारत क� वतर्मान �वकास को देखते �ए, सरकार ने आ�थक वृ�द्ध पर ज़ोर देना चािहए
