III. In the context of Project Tiger, many observers have noted that the country is now home to approximately two-thirds of the tigers in the world. But many have sounded a note of caution and said a lot more effort is required before we can declare tiger populations to be robust over the long term in India. These efforts usually mean increasing vigilance against poaching of tigers and their prey, expanding existing tiger reserves.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
However, there is an opposing group of public intellectuals that considers social justice to be of paramount importance in India. In their estimation, forests are as much cultural and social places as they are a habitat for wildlife. Forests are home to one in eight Indians, and tiger conservation has come at a terrible human cost; tribals have been forced out of forests, uprooted from their social and cultural context, deprived of education, development and livelihoods, plunged into poverty, and remained either unwilling or unable to integrate into the mainstream. Conservation of the tiger, they say, should not be at the cost of the fundamental rights of our citizenry.
In the last two decades or so, elected governments in India have sanctioned the cutting down of forests to build highways, flattened forests for coal and other minerals, and drowned out forests for dams, significantly devastating wildlife and forest dwellers alike. These sanctions are accompanied by statements of reassurance that it is possible to balance economic development with ecological and social concerns. Notwithstanding these platitudes, both conservationists and social justice activists feel short-changed by a government set on accelerating swiftly towards the edge of ecological destruction.
The great game playing out in the forests of our country continues. The tiger, forests, and forest dwellers will remain pawns in this great game. It remains to be seen if conservationists and social justice activists can reconcile their differences to collaboratively call out the conductor before it is curtains.
'a lot more effort is required' to save the tiger, says the author. What kind of 'effort' is required? [Question ID = 53375]
1. Providing congenial environment for wildlife to flourish. [Option ID = 93488]
2. Ensuring they get their prey easily. [Option ID = 93487]
3. Saving tigers from being hunted, as also preserving their habitat. [Option ID = 93486]
4. All of these [Option ID = 93489]
Correct Answer :-

Saving tigers from being hunted, as also preserving their habitat. [Option ID = 93486]

I. Generating clean renewable electricity is crucial for India where nearly 300 million people-about a quarter of its population-live without access to electricity. Today, India is one of the lowest per capita consumers of electricity in the world; even when people are connected to the electricity grid, they face frequent disruptions. Add to that the projected economic growth and the increase in population, and the demand for energy in India is expected to double by 2040.
According to Onno Ruhl, World Bank Country Director in India, with around 300 days of sunshine every year, India has among the best conditions in the world to harness solar energy. The rapid expansion of solar power can improve the quality of life for millions of Indians, especially for its poorest citizens. It can also create thousands of jobs in the solar industry and underpin progress in all areas of development, helping the country fulfill its dream of becoming the 'India of the future'.
But Energy storage systems play a vital role to enhance capacity firming and smoothing the variable and intermittent power output from solar plants. The need for Energy Storage is thus indispensable in lieu of growing share of solar power in India's energy basket.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
With the year on year declining price trend of solar and energy storage technologies, the time is not very far when not only commercial and industrial customers but also residential customers would become prosumers where they will produce and consume the electricity in-house and this will be possible with the hybrid solution of solar and storage.
Another market, which will grow in the near future, will be second life of the battery where the batteries (after few modifications) from the electric vehicles after their life can be used for the solar applications which will further reduce the solution cost of solar plus storage.
Mark the statement that is NOT true: [Question ID = 53373]
1. Both commercial and residential power users could become producer and consumers of solar power in the near future [Option ID = 93481]
2. Solar power will be the major source of power in the near future. [Option ID = 93479]
3. Solar power could be a driver of progress in all areas of development [Option ID = 93480]
4. Even today people face frequent power disruptions. [Option ID = 93478]
Correct Answer :-

Solar power will be the major source of power in the near future. [Option ID = 93479]
