This is with respect to Q.15

'Planning' in India is associated with Union ministry of rural and union ministry of urban development. 
MoUD is involved in 'Smart City' project which involves City Planning
Similar argument goes for MoRD it is also involved in Rural planning.
Also, transportation planning, environmental planning, rural development etc are all in their mandate.
Preparation of District Development Plan is executed by MoRD as well as MoHUA

Q15) UPSC previous year question and answer is as per the official answer key. The Planning Commission has an advisory power only and is not involved in the planning process. A simple elimination would give you the answer.

The appointment, posting and promotion of district judges in a state are made by the governor of the state in

consultation with the high court.


Who is responsible for the transfer of the district Judge ?

Since Constitution is silent on it it is undertaken by HC itself. The transfer orders are usually issued by the registrar of HC.

Test 12, Q 49, statement two is also correct. "The state legislature may provide that the annual general body meeting of every co-operative society shall be convened within a period of six months of the close of the financial year."

So correct option should be "c". 

Pls clarify.

Convening of general body meetings.—The Legislature of a Statemay, by law, make provisions that the annual general body meeting of every co-operative society shall be convened within a period of six months of close of the financial year to transact the business as may be provided in such law.

Please open the link file and search article 243ZM. The clause (1) and clause (2) of the article mention state legislature may provide. Clause (4) which pertains to audit within 6 months is an independent clause and doesn't have any mention of the state legislature.

Each and Every clause is to be read independently unless and until it is referring to some other clause. For example,Cluse (3) clearly mentions clause (2)butclause (4) doesn't mention any other clauseand hence becomes independent. Similarly, clause(1) and (2) both mention the Stale legislature mayas both the clauses are independent.

@SACHIN_SHARMA Randomised control trials have initially been used w.r.t Negative Income tax (NIT) experiments b/w 1968 and 1980.

These experiments served as background for their initial usage in economics.

Also the statements(options) are general statements since the direct impact is only w.r.t studies on poverty alleviation.
And as such the question is asking specifically w.r.t Randomised control trials as a process of experiments and they sure have made an impact of assessment and formulation of tax reforms.

@ranahere999 

Thanks for the information. It was not much popular in recent news articles regarding the use rct in tax collection. Still as mentioned in sources it was useful in Congo and also in negative income tax collection so may be considered correct.
