Challenges in Defence FDI

1. 49% FDI means the foeigner still cant get management control of the Joint ventures with
Indian companies.
2. Hence theyll be hesitant in transferring the proprietary technology to India.
3. This was the same reason why old policy did not attract large investmnt.
4. Secondly, Government has yet to notify what constitutes modern and state of art
technology, (because there more than 49% FDI permitted, and foreign companies may get
attract to invest and transfer secret technology.)
D2: Defense Procurement:

Defense Acquisition Council (DAC) is chaired by Defense Minister.
This DAC cleared following proposals (in August 2014):
1. Stopped the tender process to import helicopters for army. (perhaps dont want to burn
hands again like UPA did with AgustaWestland)

2. Instead, Government will now buy 400 desi helicopters from Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. for
moving men and material in border region.
3. Will induct 118 new (Desi) Arjun tanks.
4. Will produce Self Propelled (SP) guns to mount on Arjun tank- this will give us advantage in
swift desert battles in Rajasthan and Western Border.
5. Will upgrade six submarines.
D3: India-Nepal agreements during Modi visit

Happened in August 2014. Just a brief outline here:
India Nepal Agreements during Modi visit:
Infra
Border
HIT Highways, Information ways, Transways.

Modi promised them $1 billion loan for infrastructure and energy projects
Will form Boundary working group to construct boundary pillars.
Joint commission on border issues
Raxaul-Amlekhgunj petroleum pipeline
Energy
Hydel projects- Upper Karnali (Nepal and GMR), Arun III, Upper Marsyangdi
and Tamakoshi III
Cross border railways at 5 border points, 4 integrated check posts
Transport
Bridges over Mahakali river at Mahendra nagar

India to allow 3 additional air entries Janakpur, Bhairahawa, Nepalgunj
Pancheshwar Developmental Authority
3 MoU
Tourism in Nepal
Doordarshan and Nepal TV
Trade
Misc.
India will remove quantitative restrictions on Nepalese products.

Grant to provide iodized salt to Nepalis.
Donated 2500 kgs of Sandlewood to Pashupatinath temple.
D4: Power Trade agreement (PTA) with Nepal

Happened in September 2014, after Modi came back.
Now any Nepali public or private entity can sell electricity to India.
India wanted to setup a joint venture Company with Nepal- for trading electricity. But Nepali
Government did not agree.
India even offered to help developing Nepals hydro-electricity power but their political
factions disagreed.
Modi has earlier said- Nepal has immense hydropower and just be selling electricity to India,
they can become a developed country(!)
Includes
Doesnt
electricity power trade, cross-border transmission, interconnection and grid-connectivity
Indian investment in Nepali

power sector.
Dont confuse
Power trade agreement
Power Development pact
Between respective Governments of Nepal

and India
Between GMR India with Nepali Government to

develop Karnali hydropower.
Signed with consensus of Maoists and

other political factions of Nepal.
Nepali maoists dont like this, not one bit so

theyve began protests.
D5: Nalanda University

Nalanda: Ancient times
During the rule of Kumargupta of Gupta dynasty.
Mahayana monks Asnaga and Vasubandhu said to have found Nalanda in 400-500AD
Chinese pilgrim Hiuen Tsang, came during Harshas reign, gave detail account of Nalanda
University.
Nalanda was a huge monastic-educational establishment.
Teaching done in Sanskrit.

Primary teaching focus: Mahayana Buddhism, yet included other secular subjects as
well- Like, Grammar, logic, epistemology and sciences.
Active discussions and debates were taking place.
Harsha is said to have invited a thousand learned monks of Nalanda to take part in the
philosophical assembly at Kanauj.
Another Chinese scholar, Itsing, mentioned that Nalanda housed 2,000 students, was
funded by revenues of 200 villages.
Thus university continued to be the centre of intellectual activity till the 12th century
1193 AD: Turkish ruler Qutbuddin Aibaks general Bakhtiyar Khilji destroyed Nalanda
University.
Nalanda: Modern times
2006: President Kalam proposed setting up this university as an international learning
institute, a link between the past, present and future, a channel for knowledge exchange
between scholars of the world
Singapore, China, Thailand and Australia have contributed funds.
university came into existence by a special act The Nalanda University Act
2012: Noble Laureate Amartya Sen was appointed the Chancellor
Total 7 schools- including ecology, environment and historical studies.
2020: will become fully operational, with campus in Rajgir foothills.
Until then, temporary classes at Rajgir convention hall, students will live in a hotel.
Foreign minister Sushma Swaraj inaugurated in 2014, September.
University aims to become a research university, not a teaching university.
D6: APF: Human rights conference 2014

1991: UNs Paris principles- to establish norms for various human rights bodies across
world.
Later, an International coordination Committee of National Human Rights Institutions setup.
This Committee has 4 regional networks, one of them is Asia Pacific forum (APF) with 21
member-nations.
2014, Sep: Indias national human rights commission headed the conference of this body, at
New Delhi.
Outcomes of this Human rights conference

1. Until now NHRCs have focused on human rights violations by state actors
2. But, economic scenario has changed, weve to focus on human rights violations by
companies- pollution, tribal-displacement, sweatshops, labour exploitation and negativeexternalities created by MNCs.
3. For Prevention of Torture , well create a working group including the NGOs.
4. Members agreed to use a five-pronged strategy to protect human rights from 2015 to 2020:
Gender equality, peace , security, Business, Vulnerable groups-children, women, the
disabled, the elderly and displaced persons.
D7: Border security Management: Gujarat

Following reforms taken: (aka fodder for GS3)
1. Men from Puggie community are expert in reading camel footprints. They belong to Kutch
and Banaskantha districts of Gujarat.
2. Theyve been recruited to trace the movement of smugglers, terrorists and refugees across
western border through desert.
3. Police has enrolled more friends of police in border villages- to act as informants.
4. For coastal security the security forces are keeping surveillance on fisher-communities
including Hindus- because some of them were caught by Pakis, brainwashed and then
released back to India- they supply sensitive information to Pakis in lure of money.
5. Stringent identity verification of fishermen and those returning from Dubai and Karanchi via
sea route.
6. Intelligence agencies keep a tab on terror website, online groups, people returning from
specific countries and dollar transactions. Because dollar transactions give footprints of any
terror activity.
D8: Letting states have foreign relations

1. After LPG reforms the CMs of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka actively sought out FDI from
MNCs. As as result, Hyderabad and Banglore have developed as IT hubs.
2. On similar lines, the then Chief Minister Modi began hosting Vibrant Gujarat summits to
attract investment in his state.
3. Therefore, all state Government should actively seekout FDI and establish direct-relations
with foreign Governments- many American states do the same- they setup standalone
offices in foreign nations to boost trade-tourism to their home state.
4. Since 80s- Even the authoritarian Chinese leadership has permitted their provinces to
establish sub-regional links with other Asian countries. As a result, Yunan is thriving as a
trade hub.
Challenges?
1. Border states- what if Pakistan wanted to invest in Punjab or China in Arunanchal or
Bangladesh in W.Bengal? Even if they wanted purely economic relations, the security aspects
will overshadow and the Union Government may not allow the deals.
2. While Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and other big states can afford to host
investors summits, the interior and backward states cant host such lavish events -given the
lack of event managers, rail-road-air connectivity, media publicity etc. Union Government
needs to help them.

I read some aspirants preparing for mains asking how to start

preparation as time is less, following was my reply and this reply is not
open to criticization but follow up questions are most welcome
First revise what you read in prelims, Practice answer writing on random
questions i.e atleast start from 500 words now and pick up pace as you
proceed. Dont waste more hours on current as you will fizzle out rather
prepare very famous topics (Mars orbiter, food subsidy wto et al). GS
paper 1 will take time i.e history + geograpgy (Prepare it time bound i.e
max 20 days). Paper 2 will take less time (Laxmikanth, IR , and again
some very famous topics from internet like RTI ) IR is available in every
current magazine with a special section . Paper 3 is more prelims
centered, I can give you a book list which can be helpful. paper 4 to
masha allah, i.e only few points from a single book and you are done
with GS . Optional and essay has to covered extensively but again time
bound say 30 days max (as i assume you are aware with bigger concepts
of it) . Most Toppers in past years have wasted 1 month after prelims as
they have an idea before prelims what upsc demand and what exactly
they have to go through . Read this line from syllabus The nature and
standard of questions in GS will be such that a well educated person will
be able to answer them without any specialized study . I assume
syllabus of mains is with you , even if you dont have it is available in
notification.

Hey caligula watching ur suggestions to our fellow aspirants from

the past 1 month
i hope you will respond to my queries and give me suggestions
im still finding it diffcult to complete paper 1 syllabus prepared
from books like norman lowe,goh chenlong and current topics
related to climatic cond like polar vortex(though in january) and
many more could you suggest any more books or sources so that it
could be better for upsc mains pov
when it comes to int relations is there any strategy or whatever
you call when we write in the mains
also i have almost every soft copy of the imp books for upsc
prepared with them only but lately realised and bought every
book. during starting days of my preparation i have a misnomer
that only way to compete(becoz to serve my country ) with
delhiwalaa(with full respect) is to go electroniic way. wasted lot of
time but i still fear that something is missing in my preparation.is
this e-study spur from past few months is good or bad from your
pov tell me sincerly.
Also my other way of thinking is to completely stick to hindu or
indian express and magazines like yojana,epw or tell mee and give
up searching topics in internet what you personally suggest plz
broo
am I preparing up to the upsc level or what mrunal or some other

site providing matter more than enough for upsc becoz bro when i
practice writing essays and few questions everyday i do recheck
from sites but im getting around 50-60% content of what they
provide
also notes that i make from newspaper and magazines dont have
depth of this extent mrunal. few days back i decided to subscribe
current affair notes from delhi but restrained myself buying it
becoz i still believe that my notes is far better than them
really im in dilemma am i moving in correct directions or any
deviation
bro plz help meee
waiting for ur reply dude

For paper 1 please watch roman saini video, on his youtube

channel . i guess the title is demolish upsc in 100 days. his
video series on art n culture (though he have not completed
the series) are very useful . He advises ncert for many topics,
which i guess will create more panic , so dont worry you have
already covered many topics in prelims. now you need
material for polishing them . so it goes like this, prepare for
art and culture first (roman videos), note everything what he
says . come to medieval section , pls pls only read some
limited topics (but comprehensively ) again roman will

mention those topics in that 100 days video. modern is from
same source you read in prelims but also try to solve past
years questions . geography i would say ask for best gs
coaching notes of any institute from your known person. geo
is vast, you have to cover it in short frame. in addition read
ncert of 11th class (only ncert to be read). environment any
sarkari book whether nios or ugc(because you have to be
socialistic) . dont dig topics that are for optional students.
control your breath while running a marathon, do not panic,
do not run fast, dont stop. cherish what you accomplished
(syllabus)
caligula
International relation goes like this; you are a well

educated,learned external affair minister(not a bjp or
congress but neutral) . Relation of any country with India is
having a timeline . there are number of files for each country
containing each event. you have to give a speech of 15 mins
.obviously you wont mention each and every event. your
speech will start from , historic relation between both
countries (that has prolonged from years and arent going to
change in short time) for example , hostility with pakistan is
since independence, issue with china. recent development on
the issue. plus some recent pacts treaty which are huge
(upon which CIA start inquiring ) . The purpose is not to
master the subject but having knowledge of subject , so that
the speech goes long way, is understood by common man
and pm (upsc) lauds your speech watching on his laptop ,

sitting in his comfortable chair enjoying cup of tea with
snacks .

caligula
I sincerely appreciate your work rajtanil, you have to dig huge topics first
and then mold it in mrunal format (sharp and succinct )
hermit
caligi,it would be really helpful if you or mrunal would grade the current
topics as most important,middle level and low level.if it is done then we
can concentrate on current topics.HAIL MRUNAL,HAIL CALIJI.
caligula
Hermit, the topic that takes most news coverage and have a bigger
timeline, can be considered utmost important . They should be
covered in any circumstance , comprehensively . Mains
examination are more tilted towards students . As this is the
selection process while prelims remain the elimination process. If
you are preparing for next year, you have to cover as many topics
possible starting from most important. If you are preparing for
mains, you have a specific short syllabus now, in your hands.
Believe me the current questions (more than 90% in paper 2 and 3)
will be those topics that you have covered, mid day meal, rti ,
lokpal etc etc . But only the master (who championed points on
these topics)and true fighter (who wrote fantastic answer) will be
welcomed for interview . I hope you got my point . its my personal
opinion that grading topics from high to low priority will be
controversial plus mrunal is doing his job, so that everything
should be available on this website not that everything should be
learned from this website.

Hi Rohit, i tried to post gs p4 strategy many times as

comment, but the page still doesnt show. Anyways it is a 601
words note which i shall divide into few comments, lets c
what happens .
1/3 ) The word aptitude mentioned in paper in 4 title i.e
ethics integrity and aptitude has nothing to do with logical
reasoning or syllogism or maths or comprehension. The
paper will test an aspirants mental pressure handling ability
in capacity of an administrator . I still wonder what are UPSC
exact answer and on what basis they choose best answer.
You will be given various terminologies like commitment,
conviction and other attributes of an administrator, you have
to write upon these plus your method of working under
different conditions(merits , demerits of an action taken) .

True..who has asked him about the cutoff anyways..if

you really want to help others post some materialtime is
less and even if someone clear prelims there will not be any
chance of clearing mains
People follow mrunal site but dont learn from him. He never
post anything until he is 100% sure.
Besides if it would have been so easy to get access to the
inside information the delhi coachingwallas would have been
the first one to access to it.
But people will not learn and this is the story of every
