Q1. Consider the following description:
This high-altitude freshwater wetland is situated in the Mishmi Hills region of northeastern
India. Surrounded by dense temperate sub-alpine forests, it holds immense cultural significance
for local indigenous communities and supports rich mountain biodiversity including rare flora
and fauna. Recently designated as a Ramsar Site of International Importance, it represents a
pristine high-elevation wetland ecosystem.

Q2. With reference to ancient and medieval Indian history, consider the following pairs:
1. Agrahara : Land granted to Brahmanas exempt from tax obligations
2. Vishti : Forced labor exacted as a form of state taxation
3. Devadana : Land granted for the maintenance of temple establishments
4. Ur : Village assembly composed of landholders in Chola polity

Q3. Consider the following statements:
Statement-I: The west-flowing rivers of Peninsular India form estuaries rather than extensive
deltas at their river mouths.
Statement-II: The western coastal plain is narrow and the rivers originating in the Western
Ghats have short courses with high gradients and swift river flow.

Q4. With reference to the Civil Disobedience Movement launched during the Indian freedom
struggle, consider the following statements:
1. The movement was formally inaugurated following Mahatma Gandhi's historic Dandi March
to violate the salt laws.
2. The Gandhi-Irwin Pact led to the temporary suspension of the movement and paved the way
for Congress participation in the Second Round Table Conference.

including women, peasants, urban merchants, and students.

Q5. Consider the following statements regarding coastal and marine ecosystems:
1. Mangrove forests act as vital shoreline protectors by attenuating wave energy and stabilizing
coastal sediments.
2. Coral reefs support nearly twenty-five percent of all marine species despite occupying less
than one percent of the ocean floor.
3. Seagrass meadows serve as key carbon sinks, sequestering organic carbon in sediments at
rates faster than terrestrial forests.
4. Blue carbon refers exclusively to carbon captured and stored in open ocean water columns
and upper atmospheric cloud vapor.
