  4. The Agreement on Trade-Related Investment Measures (TRIMS)

    2. As per NFHS-5 Phase II, Total Fertility Rates (TFR) of India has declined from ****2.2 to 2.0 at the national level. Further. as per demographic concepts, replacement level rate is 2.1. Thus, India's TFR has gone to sub-replacement level.

  8. Post 1991
    1. Since 1991, theabsolute level of income per worker i.e. worker productivityhas increased for both rural and urban areas.
    2. rural workforce decreased , because shifting towards urban/non-agri sectors.
    3. The growth rate in rural employment decreased |increased informalisation and de-unionisation of workforce
    4. increase in casual labour and not a decline.
    5. total number of operational holdings in the country has increased, The small and marginal holdings taken together (0.00-2.00 ha.) constituted 86.08% of the total holdings [share in the operated area stood at 46.94%] , more women in the southern states hold land as compared to the rest of the country.

This is a very good score. And a good accuracy. I remember one Aditya from earlier who used to attempt 45-50 questions and would get 40+ correct.

Try to replicate this on a waider syllabus. Like, if a test were to happen on whole of economy, would you be able to do it.

As in not now, but let us say if you would be able to do it on a wider syllabus / full syllabus by March April. Remeber March April is the time when you have your revisions, not read the stuff for the first time.
