Factoids for Prelims 2021
Hi,
Ranyo Ashoka, Himalayan nettle, Denisovan - Who would have thought of such random questions?
Creating this thread with the sole purpose of sharing facts that can be relevant for Prelims. While there is always this thought, that there is no end to learning and mugging up facts, but if we observe closely - the options are not very close and elimination is easy. By pooling our resources here, if we give it one reading also, the probability of retaining it on the D day and eliminating options increases exponentially.
I request the aspirants to actively contribute here and let's hope that we strike gold on 31st ;).

whatonly,
"Forest Cover" is not a criteria in 15th Finance Commission Report. It has been replaced by "Forest and Ecology."This new criteria has been arrived at by calculating the share of dense forest of a particular state in aggregate dense forests of all states put together.
For those "Which of the following are criteria" questions.
The Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace, or"Paris Call" in shortof 12 November 2018 is a call to come together to face the new threats endangering citizens and infrastructure. It is based around nine common principles to secure cyberspace, which act as as many areas for discussion and action.
The Paris Call was sent in 2018 by the President of theFrench Republic, Emmanuel Macron, during theInternet Governance Forum held at UNESCO and the Paris Peace Forum.
Waste Colonialism:
When developed countries began to adopt stringent regulations on toxic waste that made disposal within their own borders too expensive and instead, they began to export waste to low-income countries that were eager to increase their foreign exchange earnings, even at the cost of their citizens’ well-being.
Convention No. 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour achieved universal ratification.
