Millions of Indians live in booming towns that are officially still governed as "villages."
Why?
Because legally becoming a city means suddenly losing welfare benefits and paying higher taxes.

India's 73rd and 74th Amendments create an outdated rural-urban binary, leaving statistically urban "Census towns" governed as rural panchayats.

Welfare benefits are abruptly cut off when a settlement is reclassified as urban, as eligibility is tied to administrative status rather than actual need.

Solution to Today's CSAT PYQ
Q 51 Answer is B
The passage warns that highly bred crops lack the natural genetic variety needed to survive new, climate-driven diseases, directly threatening the food supply.
Q 52 โAnswer is C Both I and II
Many students got this wrong. The statement 2 is actually correct according to the official CSAT 2025 Answer Key
โStatement I (Valid):
The passage states that plant infections will become common in "all climatic zones," which inherently requires those diseases to migrate.
โStatement II (Valid):
The author blames crop vulnerability on the loss of "genetic variations" due to selective breeding.
This relies on the assumption that studying the wild relatives of these crops which still naturally hold those lost genes is the logical pathway to restoring food security.
