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.
Bond yield = return on investment in bonds. Bonds are safe investment instruments, as they give assured returns. So when economy is growing, people don't want to invest in bonds as investing elsewhere (eg stocks) will give more profits. So few people buying bonds, less demand for bonds, falling bond yields. But when economy is performing poorly, other investment options are not as lucrative. So people start investing in bonds.. Demand for bonds increase, their yield increases.
Thus bond yields are inversely proportional to economic growth.
Going by above logic, 1&3 follows.
New Rules : Owners and possessors of suchanimals and birdsmust also register their stock with the Chief Wildlife Warden of their states.
What about plants? Are there any such rules regarding them (exotic plants) or we can just keep them without informing anyone?

Karmayogi IAS test8.pdfHi stop this spamming please.
Is there any difference between Shramana & Shamans?
Sramana:
Sramana was an ancient Indian religious movement with origins in the Vedic religion. However, it took a divergent path, rejecting Vedic Hindu ritualism and the authority of the Brahmins.
Sramanas were those who practiced an ascetic lifestyle in pursuit of spiritual liberation. The Sramana movement gave rise to Jainism and Buddhism.
Shamans/Shaminism:
Shamanism is a collection of long-established principles and customs that have healing powers. The shamans possess the ability to control the spirits in their own ways and bring out the result that they expect to happen. Shaman originates from the sanskrit word sramana however, in practice these two are different.
Choose the correct statements-
1. ICOR will be higher for basic industries like cement, steel.
2. Time and cost overrun, inefficient technology increases the ICOR.
(a)1 only
(b)2 only
(c)Both 1 and 2
(d)None of them
Please explain
I think the answer is B. ICOR is a ratio of investment to growth. So a high value of ICOR means that a high level of investment is needed to create growth. So this means inefficiencies (statement 2) would increase ICOR since the productivity would be less and so growth would be less. Statement 1 I'm not too sure about. I think investment would lead to good growth since it could mean new machines, technologies and methodologies which would increase productivity and hence growth. So by that logic, it should have a low ICOR.
