Case Studies on above issues

Introduction: GS 4 (Ethics, Integrity and Aptitude)


This paper will include questions to test the candidates’ attitude and approach to issues relating to integrity, probity in public life:

It is clearly stated by upsc to have a practical approach and to have an Integrity and Ethical and Moral Attitude along with knowledge to become a civil servants..

his problem solving approach to various issues and conflicts faced by him in dealing with society.

With adhering to the norms of society and to fulfill the goals of all Individuals by Inclusiveness, how an administrator will be able to uphold moral Principles and doing Justice which will be appreciated by all along with ensuring full Probity in official life..


So it is not about to uphold Integrity but actually doing that..

For example: if upsc asks there will be a beggar on the street or working children below 14years.
And as an administrator what steps you will take..

Here all will be writing that yes I will support that begger and help him even I will try to give him employment through different schemes along with improvement in skill etc etc..
And in second case like I will ask the employee of that children to set him Free and arrange educational facility for him and give compensatory fund to the Fund set up as Child Welfare Fund and I will try to make an arrangement for his studies and etccc etc etc..


All people do the same, and all will come up with same solution in this case, cause they uphold Integrity fully...as all are Ethical and good, UPSC knows this fact..

But how many actually do this in society, nobody does this, and that's why UPSC wants Aspirants to uphold Integrity and Probity and All things in Real Terms...

So before joining service upsc wants Aspirants to know these things.. i mean for its real practical terms solutions..

So that's why upsc before syllabus mentioned about it's demand from Aspirants.. not to read content of syllabus but to uphold that wrt the testing and Integrity..

Have a great learning ahead..
Feel free to talk..

Let's start with keywords..😊🙏

##THE SUNGA ART
## CSE PRLIMS/ MAINS 2022

#The Sunga art of Mathura, best expressed in its sculptures, belong to the pure old tradition of Bharhut and Sanchi. By the time of the Sungas and the Saka-Ksatrapas, Mathura was already famous as an art centre.

#During this age, the so-called 'God made' Vodra Stupa of Jainas was standing in its full glory on the present Kankali Tils.

#Colossal figures of Boddhisattavas, Amohini stone, railing pillars, lion capital and a few architectural fragments are some of the acquisitions of this period. A few of the sculptures portray Jataka tales.

#Some of the important features of Sunga art of Mathura are as follows:

1. The sculpture is not in bold relief.

2. Both the male and female figures are adorned with a large number of ornaments.

3. Drapery is somewhat heavy and not light as is the case with the sculptures of later periods.

4. No efforts seem to have been made for expressing emotions and abstract feelings like peace, serenity, temptation, surprise, sobriety etc.

5. Normally, the eyeballs are conspicuous by their absence.

6. Female figures are seen decorating their headgears with wreaths and garlands, beads and pieces of costly cloth.

7. The males appear with a special type of fluffy turbans generally decorated with a crest above. A lock of hair frequently appears out of the turban.

8. Absence of the figure of Gautama Buddha is most noteworthy in Sunga art.

#Lord has been represented here by different symbols, such as Stupa, three-thronged symbol (Triratna), diamond throne (Vajrasana), turban (Usnisa), begging bowl (Bhiskhsha Patra), the sacred tree (Bodhi tree), wheel of Law (Dharma Chakra) and others.

#The sculptures of the Sunga period hailing from Mathura indicate that along with others, images of Vaishnava and Shaiva sects were also coming into vogue.

#In this connection, images of Balaram, Shivalinga etc have been found.

#Some Sunga works show the influence of floral scroll patterns and Hellenistic elements as far as rendering of the fold of dresses are concerned.

#Sunga art reflects more of the mind, culture, tradition and ideology.

#During Sunga period, stone replaced wood in the railings and the gateways of the Buddhist stupas.

#Bharhut stupa is filled with sculptures - apart from floral designs, animal, figures, Yakshas and human figures.

#This period witnessed the increasing use of symbols and human figures in architecture.

#There was an increase in the construction of rock-cut temple for example the Chaitya Hall.

#Context: The Uttar Pradesh government is working to popularize Tharu tribe and its culture.

#Background: The Uttar Pradesh government has recently launched a scheme to adopt the unique culture of its ethnic Tharu tribe across the world. The intention is to put Tharu villages on the tourism map, and generate employment and financial independence to the tribal population.

In Detail
Uttar Pradesh has a total of five Scheduled Tribes. Out of five STs, Tharu is the most populous tribe, having a population of 83,544. They constitute 77.4% of the total tribal population of the state, according to the 2011 census.
The latest move is aimed at economically strengthening the Tharu tribe by increasing their participation in eco-tourism and reducing their dependency on forest land.

The UP Government aims to popularize tharu culture and make them self economically self dependent, for this the government has set up a complex at a cost of Rs 1.70 crore. It has 10 shops along with four guest rooms, a music room, a restaurant and a museum. Forest corporation will also try to support the tribe members by improving their huts to make them suitable for tourists.

Once tourists start getting familiar with Tharu food, which is healthy and delicious, they would take interest in knowing their culture. When tourists stay in their village to learn about their culture, folk music and medicines, locals will get jobs and be part of tourism activities.

Tharu tribe
The community belongs to the Terai regions among the Shivalikas or the lower Himalayas. Most of them are forest dwellers, and some do agriculture. The word Tharu is believed to have originated from Theravada, meaning followers of Theravada Buddhism.

Thars live in both India and Nepal. In the Indian Terai, they live mostly in Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. According to the 2011 census, the Scheduled Tribes population in Uttar Pradesh was more than 11 lakhs; This number is now estimated to have crossed 20 lakhs.

The largest part of this tribal population is made up of Tharus. Members of the tribe survive on wheat, corn and vegetables grown close to their homes. A majority still live far from the forest.

Tharu Culture
They speak various dialects of Tharu, a language of Indo-Aryan subgroup and various forms of Hindi, Urdu and Awadhi. In central Nepal, they speak a version of Bhojpuri, while in eastern Nepal, they speak a version of Maithili.

Tharus worships Lord Shiva as Mahadev, and calls his supreme "Narayana", who believes that he is the provider of sunshine, rain, and crops.

Tharu women have more property rights than women in the mainstream North Indian Hindu customs.

Most Tharu tribals consume alcoholic beverages, and some eat beef. Standard items on the Tharu plate are bagiya or dhikri – which is a steamed dish of rice flour that is eaten with chutney or curry – and ghonghi, an edible snail that is cooked in a curry made of coriander, chili, garlic, and onion.

Proposed Scheme
The state government is working to connect Tharu villages in the districts of Balrampur, Bahraich, Lakhimpur and Pilibhit bordering Nepal, with the home stay scheme of the UP Forest Department. The idea is to offer tourists an experience of living in the natural Tharu habitat, in traditional huts made of grass collected mainly from the forests.

The Uttar Pradesh Forest Corporation will train the Tharu people to communicate effectively with visitors, and encourage villagers to acquaint them with aspects of safety and cleanliness, and with the rules of the forest.

Tharu homeowners will be able to charge tourists directly for the accommodation and home-cooked meals.

The UP government expects both domestic and international tourists to avail of the opportunity to obtain a taste of the special Tharu culture by staying with them, observing their lifestyle, food habits, and attire.

The homestay scheme will be expanded to include the Tharu villages in a few weeks’ time, according to the government officials.

Conclusion
Most of the tribal community is economically backward, hence to open new avenues of income for the Tharu tribal community is a welcome step. Besides these the government should work on education of the tribal community, as for poor community, sending children into school is a luxury for them. Besides these there is also a requirement of good infrastructure for holistic development of the community.

KEN- BETWA LINK PROJECT
CSE, MAINS 2022
GS Paper - 1
GS Paper - 2
Water Resources
Inter-State Relations

Why in News
Chief Ministers of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh signed a memorandum of agreement to implement the Ken Betwa Link Project (KBLP), the first project of the National Perspective Plan for interlinking of rivers.

The two states signed a tripartite agreement with the Centre on World Water Day (22nd March) to finally implement this ambitious project.

Key Points
Ken Betwa Link Project (KBLP):
The Ken-Betwa Link Project (KBLP) is the River interlinking project that aims to transfer surplus water from the Ken river in MP to Betwa in UP to irrigate the drought-prone Bundelkhand region.

The region spread across the districts of two states mainly Jhansi, Banda, Lalitpur and Mahoba districts of UP and Tikamgarh, Panna and Chhatarpur districts of MP.

The project involves building a 77-metre tall and a 2-km wide Dhaudhan dam and a 230-km canal.

Ken-Betwa is one of the 30 river interlinking projects conceived across the country.

The project has been delayed due to political and environmental issues.

Advantage of Interlining of Rivers:

Reducing Drought: River linking will be a solution to recurring droughts in Bundelkhand region.

Farmers’ Benefit: It will curb the rate of farmers suicide and will ensure them stable livelihood by providing sustainable means of irrigation and reducing excessive dependence on groundwater.

Electricity Production: It will not only accelerate the water conservation by construction of a multipurpose dam but will also produce 103 MW of hydropower and will supply drinking water to 62 lakh people.

Rejuvenate Biodiversity: Few are of the view that the introduction of dams inside the water scarce regions of panna tiger reserve (MP), will rejuvenate the forests of the reserve that in turn will pave the way for Rich Biodiversity in the region.

Issues:
Environmental: Because of certain environmental and wildlife conservation concerns like passing of the project though critical tiger habitat of panna tiger reserve, the project is stuck in for the approval from National Green Tribunal (NGT), and other higher authorities.

Economic: There is a huge economic cost attached with the project implementation and maintenance, which has been rising due to delays in project implementation.

Social: Reconstruction and rehabilitation caused due to displacement resulting from the implementation of the project will involve social cost as well.

Ken and Betwa Rivers
Ken and Betwa rivers originate in MP and are the tributaries of Yamuna.

Ken meets with Yamuna in Banda district of UP and with Betwa in Hamirpur district of UP.

Rajghat, Paricha and Matatila dams are over Betwa river.

Ken River passes through Panna tiger reserve.

National Perspective Plan for interlinking of rivers:

The National River Linking Project (NRLP) formally known as the National Perspective Plan, envisages the transfer of water from water ‘surplus’ basins where there is flooding, to water ‘deficit’ basins where there is drought/scarcity, through inter-basin water transfer projects.

Under the National Perspective Plan (NPP), the National Water Development Agency (NWDA), has identified 30 links (16 under the Peninsular Component and 14 under the Himalayan Component) for the preparation of feasibility reports (FRs).

The NPP for transferring water from water-surplus basins to water-deficit basins was prepared in August 1980.
