With erratic monsoons and rising heat disrupting our supply chain, what critical infrastructure upgrade is needed to safeguard perishables?
โ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐:
India transitioned from 1960s aid dependency to a major food producer subsidizing 800 million people via the NFSA, 2013.

Upgrading to flood resilient warehouses, expanding cold chains, and implementing climate resilient farming tools are critical for safeguarding perishables.

National policy must transition from basic food security to "sustainable food security," embedding climate risk management directly into NFSA planning.

What major flaw in urban planning is directly blamed for shrinking open spaces and exhausting 4 to 5 hour daily commutes?
A city isn't truly developed when everyone owns a car.
It is developed when robust public infrastructure makes cars unnecessary.

Solution to CSAT PYQ
Question 3: (d)
โThe central argument focuses on how an early and gradual transition minimizes disruption, making timing the crucial factor for green technology development.
โQuestion 4: (b) II only
โStatement I: Invalid.
The passage discusses path-dependence conceptually but never mentions specific nations like India or public finances. This extrapolates too far beyond the text.
โStatement II: Valid.
The author uses solar energy as the primary evidence to show that early efforts compound into lower costs. Assuming that an easier transition will occur if other technologies replicate this exact solar pattern is a reasonable inference based on the passage's logic.
