Doubt Clearance Thread: UPSC 2021

"When in doubt, observe and ask questions. When certain, observe at length and ask many more questions."

Created this thread as a one stop solution for all members so that all the doubts wherein any conceptual clarification is required can be solved here.

There are 2 governance questions in pyq and both of them have messed up answers provided(One was related to the fiscal deficit).

What I concluded is that we have to think of the question as in "governance + inclusive" context and so Option A isn't very fitting there.

@THE_MECHANIC like Speaker is a member, Deputy Chairman is a member, President is not a member but a part of Parliament. The only reason I wrote ‘maybe correct’ is because it’s debatable. In strict terms, if you’re asked what constitutes Parliament: President, Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha. If you’re asked whether VP is a part of Parliament then it’s a straight no. But if we’re asked if Chairman is a part: it’s ambiguous because he does perform some essential parliamentary functions largely in line with what the Speaker does (who is a part of parliament by virtue of him being a member). Also the current VP’s website does mention that the Chairman is a part but I haven’t found any other official source stating the same. Additionally, since he isn’t a member of any of the houses you could say he isn’t a part of the Parliament. 
Honestly I don’t think we should be pondering so much on whether the chairman is a part or not. Almost definitely it won’t be asked and if it is I’ll go by what all sources say: he isn’t since Parliament = President+RS+LS

What is meant by tenor premium?

The premium/interest which you get/give during the security's tenure (i.e before its maturity )

OUT OF MAJOR, MEDIUM AND MINOR IRRIGATION PROJECTS, WHICH ONE HAS THE MAX. SHARE IN IRRIGATION?

P.S: Sorry already for this very random question.

Considering minor irrigation projects include groundwater irrigation, it has to be minor irrigation projects as the majority of land under irrigation in India is under groundwater/tubewell irrigation.

B) 6th Plan Infra =>Get more rural jobs as well. 

8th Plan - LPG. 10th - Seems unlikely that infra would be kept pending until this plan. 4th - Focus was to get India back on its feet after the shock from wars etc.

The taxes were to be paid by the villages as a whole , not individually like in the Ryotwari system how it was done in the mahalwari system in south India.

OPSC 2021. Concluded with village community like we say..."conclude an agreement with someone". Question asks which land settlement made agreement with village community directly.
