UPSC Previous Year Questions: CSP 2021

One cannot place less emphasis on the fact as to how important it is to solve questions asked by UPSC Previously. In fact, UPSC tends to repeat from its own stock, verbatim. 

This thread, shall be solely dedicated for posting questions asked in CSP & CAPF.

I shall be posting questions here on a daily basis. Urge you all to answer these in all seriousness. Shoot doubts if you have any, wrt solving any question. 

Remember the idea is to solve them, again. Reading questions and solutions is NOT sufficient. 

Cheers!

Crowding out effect refers to how increased government spending, for which it must borrow more money, tends to reduce private spending. This happens because when the government takes up the major chunk of funds available in the banking system, less of it is left for private borrowers.

Crowding in – this relates to how higher government spending encourages firms to invest more.This is due to the income effect of higher government spending. If the economy is in a recession or below full capacity, expansionary fiscal policy can increase the economic growth rate and create a positive multiplier effect, which leads to greater private sector investment.


The Question has been directly framed from Economic Survey of 2017.

in 131, I think the idea is that Farmer's loan will be transferred to sovereign, and hence become secured assets for banks, NPAs reduce and more credit is available for farmers, along with more credit to public since bank's reluctance to give credit(in face of High NPAs,) will cease.
