    Study Notes

    SSC CGL Mains 2024: Mock Test – 57

    • The test consists of 30 questions, and the topics covered are voice, grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension.

    • The United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959.
    • The declaration emphasizes the importance of ensuring the rights of children below 18 years old.
    • Despite advancements in digital technologies, the rights of children must be protected.

    Comprehension Passage 2

    • A census of water bodies in India has been conducted, revealing a disparity between rural and urban areas.
    • West Bengal has the highest number of water bodies, with nearly 750,000 reservoirs.
    • The census aims to provide a comprehensive database to inform policymakers' decisions on urban planning and rural employment generation schemes.

    Comprehension Passage 3

    • The India-U.S. partnership is considered one of the defining relationships of the 21st century.
    • The partnership has strengthened over the years, with recent deals announced in defense cooperation, semiconductor industry investments, and quantum computing.
    • The partnership also involves cooperation in critical and emerging technologies, such as clean energy, and space exploration.### Modi's US State Visit
    • Modi's address to the joint session of Congress faced pointed words from Obama on India's minority rights.
    • Modi dismissed misgivings over his administration, denying discrimination against minorities and a crackdown on dissent.
    • Rights issues are not a bilateral concern, and Biden made it clear he did not share the concern.
    • Modi's response emphasized the importance of human values and democracy.

    Rabi Season

    • The 2021-22 rabi season registered surplus rainfall every month from September to January.
    • This was followed by the hottest ever March, causing damage to the wheat crop.
    • This season had very little rain from November to February, and the country recorded the hottest ever February.
    • However, temperatures didn't soar, and the maximums were within limits not to cause any yield losses.
    • Unseasonal rainfall in March did significant damage to the rabi crop, especially wheat and mustard.
    • The damage from the current rains is yet to be ascertained, and it's more severe in places where the rains were accompanied by hail and thunderstorms.

    Impact of Rabi Crop Failure

    • The failure of the rabi crop is unlikely to result in a resurgence of inflation due to eased global food prices.
    • Producers are more likely to be affected than consumers.
    • The government should undertake an assessment of losses suffered by farmers and compensate them at the earliest.
    • There is a need for better preparedness in tackling the challenges to agriculture from climate change.### India-U.S. Partnership
    • Narendra Modi's visit to the U.S. aimed to strengthen ties between the two countries.
    • The visit resulted in several deals, including those related to high-end defense cooperation, semiconductor industry investments, and a partnership in quantum and advanced computing and AI.

    Water Body Census

    • The water body census initiative is significant in understanding the disparity in water bodies between rural and urban areas.
    • The database can help policymakers make informed decisions on urban planning and rural employment generation schemes.

    Rabi Crop

    • The rainfall was very low from November to February, resulting in a dry winter and causing damage to the rabi crop.
    • The country also recorded the hottest ever February, raising the spectre of March 2022 being repeated or even surpassed.
    • Wheat is the most vulnerable crop to lodging or bending over from high-velocity winds.
    • The failure of the last rabi crop coincided with supply disruptions that followed the war in Ukraine, but these disruptions have since eased, and world food prices have come off considerably from their March 2022 highs.
