13 How far was the Industrial Revolution in England responsible for the decline of handicrafts and cottage industries in India? (Answer in 250 words)
#GS1 #CSM24
Approach:
Introduce answer writing briefly about buffer stocks with relevant facts.
Explain what buffer stocks are and their role in price stabilization.
Highlight key benefits, including food security and support for farmers.
Identify major issues like storage inadequacies and procurement imbalances.
Suggest improvements in infrastructure and distribution efficiency.
Conclude positively with emphasizing the potential for enhanced food security and market stability.
Introduction
Buffer stock is a reserve of commodities aimed at offsetting price fluctuations and emergencies. Introduced during the 4th Five Year Plan, it stabilizes agricultural prices, ensures food security, and protects farmers incomes.
Body
The importance of buffer stocks for stabilizing agricultural prices in India
Approach:
Introduce with the mentioning the meaning of the quote in brief
Outline the ethical considerations of the powerful nations with examples
Conclude suitably
Introduction:
The quote stresses that peace is not achieved through words or belief alone; it requires concrete actions and commitment to bring it into reality.
This highlights the ethical responsibility of nations to act on their commitment to peace, rather than allowing self-interest to fuel ongoing conflicts worldwide.
Body
Ethical Considerations of the Powerful Nations:
Responsibility for Global Peace: Powerful nations must prioritise peace over profit, avoiding actions that fuel conflicts, such as arms sales to war-torn regions.
Example: India supports a UN ceasefire for Gaza, advocates for a two-state solution, and condemns civilian casualties.
Promoting Human Rights: They must ensure that their foreign policies uphold human rights, avoiding support for oppressive regimes.
Example: Operation Dost in Turkey and Syria is a prime example of India's rapid humanitarian assistance
Diplomatic Solutions: They should pursue peaceful resolutions through diplomacy rather than military intervention.
Example: The US and EU's role in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
Supporting Disarmament and Reducing Proliferation: Major powers must adhere to international treaties, such as the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), to curb the spread of weapons of mass destruction and prevent escalating global violence.
Regulate Weapon Industries: Nations must enforce strict arms regulations, including licensing, oversight of arms production, and mandatory sales reporting to ensure accountability and global stability.
Countries should collaborate internationally to prevent weapon proliferation and promote responsible practices among arms manufacturers.
Conclusion
In an interconnected world, powerful nations have a critical role in shaping a more peaceful future. As the global landscape evolves, the effectiveness of these nations in fostering peace will ultimately determine the success of collective efforts to prevent future conflicts.
Conclusion
To safeguard marine ecosystems from rising sea surface temperatures, it is essential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop climate-resilient infrastructure. At the same time, conserving marine ecosystems through sustainable practices and improving forecasting capabilities will enhance the region's resilience to extreme weather events.
Approach
Define Sea Surface Temperature (SST).
Explain the role of SST rise in the formation of tropical cyclone.
To conclude, suggest safeguarding mechanisms for rising sea surface temperature.
Introduction
Sea Surface Temperature (SST)is defined as the temperature of the uppermost layer of the ocean.The rise in sea surface temperature is primarily driven by human-induced climate change, with significant contributions from greenhouse gas emissions.SSTplays a crucial role in influencing weather patterns, especially in the formation of tropical cyclones.

Approach:
Begin by giving a brief of the Industrial Revolution in England and how it used resources from its colonies.
Explain the exploitation of Indian industry by the British.
Conclude by summarizing the arguments.
The Industrial Revolution, which began in the late 18th century in Britain, was a period of rapid industrialization which introduced mechanized production, steam engines, and factories, leading to mass production of goods. British colonies acted as a resource pool (of cotton, indigo, etc.) as well as a market for these goods.
Industrial Revolution and a Declining Handicrafts and Cottage Industry
Hand v/s Machine Made Goods: A subsidized flow of mass-produced machine-made goods was bound to throw handcrafted and expensive, Indian goods out of the market.
Discriminatory Policies: The British imposed a policy of laissez-faire, levying high tariffs on Indian goods exported to England while allowing cheap British goods to enter India with minimal tariffs.
Unemployment and Shift to Agriculture: The destruction of local markets weakened the livelihoods of artisans, causing many to lose patronage from rulers and wealthy patrons.
An unemployed workforce was forced to abandon their craft and turn to agriculture or other menial jobs to survive.
Exploitative Farming: Population with sizable amount of land was forced to carry out cash crop cultivation of specific crops which were needed for the British industries. e.g., The Indigo Plantation.
Eventual Decline in Innovation: The influx of cheaper machine-made goods reduced demand for handcrafted items, leading to lower production and quality, as artisans couldn't afford to innovate.
Indian Perspectives
Drain of Wealth: Dadabhai Naoroji's theory highlighted how British exploitation drained India's wealth, hindering industrial growth and development.
Swadeshi Movement: Mahatma Gandhi emphasized that British industrialization came at the cost of Indian livelihoods, and urged Indians to boycott foreign goods.
Jawaharlal Nehru: In his book ‘The Discovery of India’ argued that British policies deindustrialized India, turning it from a manufacturing hub into a supplier of raw materials.
Conclusion
The structural damage to the Indian society caused by the Industrial Revolution still lingers on. However, framers of our constitution understood the power of cottage industry for a country like India and hence Article 43 clearly prompts the country to establish them.
Food Security: Ensures food grain availability for vulnerable populations during adverse conditions like droughts or floods.
Public Distribution: To ensure monthly release of food grains through the Public Distribution System (PDS) and Other Welfare Schemes (OWS).
Emergency Response: To address unexpected situations arising from crop failures, natural disasters, etc.
Price Stabilization: Helps maintain stable prices of essential grains by regulating supply. For instance, in 2022-23, the FCI released 34.82 lakh tonnes of wheat, reducing retail inflation in cereals.
Support to Farmers: Guarantees a minimum support price (MSP) for produce, stabilizing farmer incomes and encouraging agricultural production.
Disaster Management: Provides immediate food relief during natural disasters, exemplified by the supply of free rations during Covid-19.
Challenges:
Storage Issues: Inadequate storage facilities cause significant wastage and spoilage, with around 74 million tonnes (22% of foodgrain output) wasted annually in India.
Procurement Imbalance: Excessive procurement of rice and wheat leads to overstocking, neglect of other grains, and hampers crop diversification.
Financial Burden: Large buffer stocks incur high costs in procurement, storage, and distribution, with transit losses causing FCI to lose approximately Rs. 300 crores annually.
Distribution Inefficiencies: The Public Distribution System (PDS) faces issues like leakages, pilferage, and corruption, with leakages at 22% as per the 2022-23 NSS survey.
Quality Concerns: Maintaining the quality of food grains over long periods is a major challenge.
Conclusion
Buffer stocks are vital for stabilizing prices and ensuring food security in India. Addressing storage and procurement issues, along with improving infrastructure and distribution, will make the system more effective and benefit both farmers and consumers.
Q. Elucidate the importance of buffer stocks for stabilizing agricultural prices in India. What are the challenges associated with the storage of buffer stock? Discuss. (Answer in 250 words)

Body
Impact of SST Rise on Tropical Cyclone Formation :
Energy Source:Rising sea surface temperatures provide the necessary heat and moisture, which are crucial for the formation and intensification of tropical cyclones.
Convection:Higher SSTs enhance convection processes, leading to the development of tropical cyclones.
Development Threshold:If SSTs are below the 26°C threshold, the energy available for cyclone development is insufficient.
Intensity:Warmer SSTs not only initiate cyclone formation but also contribute to the intensification of existing storms, potentially increasing their wind speeds and destructive capacity.
Frequency:Rising global temperatures may increase the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones by raising sea surface temperatures.
Changing Tracks: As SSTs rise globally, tropical cyclones may form in new regions or shift their paths, affecting areas previously unaffected.
Q. What is sea surface temperature rise? How does it affect the formation of tropical cyclone ? (Answer in 150 words)
