Detail of the Serious Fraud Investigation Office Prelims Specific Topic 1 – About the Tuberculosis: GS II Topic Health related issues About: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a member of the Mycobacteriaceae family with roughly 200 species, is the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB). Some mycobacteria infect a variety of animals, while others cause diseases like leprosy and TB in humans. TB most frequently impacts the lungs in people (pulmonary TB), however it can also impact other organs (extra-pulmonary TB). It has been proven that TB, a very old disease, was present in Egypt as early as 3000 BC. The disease TB is curable and treatable. Transmission: Through the air, TB can transmit from one person to another. People who have lung TB cough, sneeze, or spit into the air, spreading the TB bacteria. Symptoms: Chest pains, weakness, weight loss, fever, and night sweats are all common signs of active lung TB, as do coughs that occasionally produce sputum and blood. Global TB Impact: In the 30 countries with a high TB burden in 2019, 87% of new TB cases were reported. Eight nations—India, Indonesia, China, Philippines, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, and South Africa—accounted for two thirds of the new TB cases. Between January and December 2020, India reported 1.8 million TB cases, down from 2.4 million the year prior. MDR-TB continued to be a public health emergency and a threat to health security in 2019. MDR-TB is a type of tuberculosis that is resistant to the two anti-TB medications that are typically used as first-line therapy. Extensively A type of tuberculosis known as drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is brought on by germs that are resistant to several of the most potent anti-TB medications. The BCG vaccine: By altering a Mycobacterium bovis strain, two Frenchmen named Albert Calmette and Camille Guerin created the BCG vaccine (that causes TB in cattle). In humans, it was first applied in 1921. BCG was first made available in India on a small basis in 1948, and it was included in the National TB Control Program in 1962. In addition to its principal application as a TB vaccine, it also offers defence against other mycobacterial diseases like Leprosy and Buruli’s ulcer as well as infant respiratory and bacterial infections. Malignant melanoma and urinary bladder cancer are both treated with it as an immunotherapy agent. It’s an intriguing truth regarding BCG that it performs well in certain places and poorly in others. In general, a country’s efficiency increases with distance from the equator. In nations near or on the equator, such India, Kenya, and Malawi, where the prevalence of TB is higher, it has little to no efficacy. It has a high efficacy in the UK, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Related Projects: Global Initiatives: The Global Fund and Stop TB Partnership have joined forces with the WHO (World Health Organization) to launch the “Find. Treat. All. #EndTB” effort. The Global Tuberculosis Report is additionally published by WHO. India’s Initiatives: The TB Harega Desh Jeetega Campaign, The Nikshay Ecosystem (a national TB information system), The Nikshay Poshan Yojana (financial support), and The National Strategic Plan (NSP) for Tuberculosis Elimination (2017–2025). Two TB vaccines, MIP (Mycobacterium Indicus Pranii) and VPM (Vaccine Projekt Management) 1002, have been created, identified, and are currently undergoing Phase 3 clinical trials.

The NASA Artemis mission, which bears the name of Apollo’s legendary twin sister, is regarded as the next development in lunar exploration. Artemis is also the name of the goddess of the moon. It is the first of a series of missions that will eventually enable people to go to Mars and the Moon. By 2024, NASA plans to send astronauts to the moon as part of the Artemis programme, including the first woman and person of colour. NASA will construct an Artemis Base Camp on the Moon’s surface and a gateway (the lunar outpost circling the Moon) in lunar orbit to aid human and robotic exploration. The gateway is an essential component of NASA’s sustaining lunar operations and will serve as a multipurpose station circling the moon. Other space agencies take part in the Artemis programme as well. The International Habitat and the ESPRIT module, which will among other things provide improved communications capabilities, will be provided by the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency has committed to providing cutting-edge robotics for the gateway. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency plans to offer accommodation and logistics resupply supplies. What are the main focuses of the mission? The Artemis I mission, formerly known as Exploration Mission-1: Spacecraft, will be the first integrated flight test of NASA’s Deep Space Exploration Systems. Orion: The Orion astronaut ship will orbit Earth for a lengthier period of time than any other spacecraft has ever managed without docking to a space station. The most powerful rocket in the world, the Space Launch System (SLS), travels 2,80,000 miles beyond Earth and remains there for four to six weeks. Recent improvements have been made to the Kennedy Space Center’s exploration ground systems in Cape Canaveral, Florida. It is an unmanned space mission, and the spacecraft will enter orbit using an SLS rocket. The primary operating objective of the mission is to ensure the safe entry, descent, splashdown, and recovery of the crew module. As part of the Artemis I mission, SLS and Orion will be launched from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center in the summer of 2022. The mission will be declared a success when the Orion spacecraft successfully lands on Earth without incident. What will the upcoming missions of the Artemis programme be? During the second flight of the programme, Orion’s critical systems will be tested with people aboard. The first astronauts’ launch to Mars will eventually include the lessons learned from the Artemis programme. In order to further human space flight deeper into the solar system, NASA plans to use the lunar orbit to get the expertise needed. What is the history of moon exploration? The Soviet Union’s Luna 1 and 2 unmanned rovers were the first to reach the Moon in 1959. The US began its attempts to send people into space in 1961. Eight years later, on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin made history by being the first people to step foot on the Moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Before launching the Apollo 11 trip to the Moon, the USA flew three different classes of robotic missions between 1961 and 1968. After July 1969, 12 American astronauts made lunar landings every year until 1972. In the 1990s, the United States resumed lunar exploration with the robotic missions Clementine and Lunar Prospector. It began a new series of robotic lunar missions in 2009 with the launch of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS). In 2011, NASA launched the ARTEMIS. The Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) satellite investigated the gravity of the Moon in 2012. In addition to the United States, the European Space Agency, Japan, China, and India have all launched lunar exploration missions. China successfully deployed two rovers onto the moon’s surface in 2019, making history by being the first to touch down on the far side. What is ISRO doing to investigate the moon? Chandrayaan 1 Mission: The Chandrayaan project began in 2007 when the Russian space agency ROSCOSMOS and the Indian space agency ISRO signed a collaboration agreement. The lander, however, could not be finished in time by Russia, so the mission was postponed in January 2013 and rescheduled for 2016. Findings: It has been established that moon water exists. evidence of lunar caves formed by an ancient lava flow. Evidence of previous tectonic activity was found on the lunar surface. The observed cracks and fractures could have resulted from internal tectonic activity and meteorite strikes. Chandrayaan 2 Mission: Chandrayaan-2, India’s second moon mission, features an entirely domestic orbiter, lander (Vikram), and rover (Pragyan). The Pragyan Rover is housed aboard the Vikram Lander. According to the Indian Space Research Organization, Chandrayaan-3 is India’s third lunar mission and will feature a lander and a rover (ISRO).

Each residence or piece of property’s population is listed, along with their names, and is shown in serial order. · 1951 marked the only publication of the NRC. · The NRC of Assam: · The large illegal influx to Assam from what was previously East Pakistan and, after 1971, from what is now Bangladesh called for an update. · From 1979 to 1985, a six-year deportation of illegal immigrants agitation took place in Assam. · The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) led the movement calling for the NRC to be updated and all unlawful migrants who entered Assam after 1951 to be deported. · The Assam Accord was signed in 1985, which marked the culmination of the struggle. · The cutoff date for deporting unauthorised immigrants was established on March 25, 1971. · The cutoff date for Articles 5 and 6 of the Constitution was July 19, 1949; as a result, the Citizenship Act of 1955 was modified and a new clause was added to reflect the updated date. · The only place it applied was Assam. · In response to AASU and other Assam organisations’ persistent requests for the NRC to be updated, an Assam-based NGO filed a suit with the Supreme Court. · A divided Supreme Court bench mandated that the NRC be updated as quickly as practicable in December 2014. · Electoral Rolls from 1971 and the NRC from 1951 are two examples of legacy data (up to midnight on March 24, 1971). Indian citizenship is available to anybody whose name is on these documents and to their offspring. · Impact: · After the NRC is changed, rumours regarding the true number of illegal immigrants in Assam and the rest of the country are expected to stop. · A validated dataset will be made available to facilitate meaningful discussions and the implementation of policies. · The release of an updated NRC is intended to discourage future Bangladeshi immigrants from entering Assam illegally. · The new NRC has already created the perception that anyone entering Assam illegally runs the possibility of being detained, jailed, and deported. · More importantly, it may be much more difficult for illegal immigrants to get Indian identity cards and to enjoy all the rights and privileges to which all Indian citizens are entitled. · Everyone who speaks Bengali in Assam and once thought they were Bangladeshis will be relieved to see their names on the NRC. · Challenges: · Process mistakes: People who appeared on the first list, which was published on January 1, 2018, did not appear on the second list. The list did not include the family of a past Indian president. · The simultaneous operations of the NRC, the voter list kept by the Election Commission, and the Foreigners’ Tribunals, which are assisted by the Assam Border Police, have resulted in complete confusion. · The programme has a deadline for re-verification, but it will be exceedingly challenging to manually check everyone on the list. · The courts, which are now handling a huge number of open cases, may become overloaded as a result of such “non citizens” being able to use the legal system to bolster their citizenship claim. · What will happen to those who weren’t on the list is unknown. · Expulsion to Bangladesh is not a possibility because Dhaka has never acknowledged that they are its people or that illegal immigration is a problem. India is not allowed to forcibly return illegal immigrants to Bangladesh without a signed agreement. · Bringing up this problem will also damage relations with Dhaka. Such an endeavour would be harmful to the nation’s international position and bilateral relations. · Large-scale prison facilities are an option to deportation, albeit it’s unlikely that this would happen in a mature democracy like India. · Another choice would be to implement work licences, which would remove people’s political voice while giving them limited legal rights to work.

Q1. Write a short note on the future missions of ISRO. Paper & Topic: GS III – Space related issues Model Answer: Introduction: In the 1960s, India started making investments in space research and technology. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has historically prioritised social development as the primary goal of space technology applications, rather than addressing strategic or security goals. Since its modest beginnings five decades ago, India’s space programme has evolved rapidly, and it has now earned the right to be regarded as a major player in the space arena. The worth of the global space business is currently estimated to reach $350 billion, and by 2025, it is expected to surpass $550 billion. , Body: ISRO’s upcoming missions are planned: The Gaganyaan project is a crewed orbital spacecraft that can travel seven days in space with three passengers on board. · It is anticipated to be finished prior to 2022. o The Human Space Flight Centre (HSFC), which will oversee the Gaganyaan Project, was recently established to supervise the Indian Human Spaceflight Programme (HSP). The first Lagrangian point (L1) between the Sun and Earth is where Aditya-L1, India’s first solar observatory, will be situated. At this point, the dynamic gravitational attraction between the Sun and Earth approximately cancels out. o Using its seven instruments, it will examine the Sun’s atmosphere and surface. A Venus orbiter mission called Shukrayaan will be launched in 2025 with the specific goals of examining Venus’ surface and subsurface, atmospheric chemistry, and interactions with the sun’s wind. Venus’ atmosphere contains a gas that on Earth is associated with living things. Numerous expeditions to Venus have been suggested in light of the recent indications of possible extraterrestrial life. Phosphine molecules were discovered on Venus in September 2020; they may be a biosignature of microbial life. In order to comprehend the evolution and potential conditions on Earth-sized planets orbiting other stars, scientists also utilise Venus as a model. The country’s second space observatory will be the X-ray Polarimetry Satellite (XPoSat), which will be smaller and more focused. It will research how cosmic objects that are in Earth’s orbit polarise their X-ray emissions. India’s satellite-based data relay system: India aims to launch a new satellite series dubbed IDRSS this year in order to track and communicate with its own space assets from orbit. To enable satellite to satellite communication and data transfer, a pair of two IDRSS spacecraft will be launched into geostationary orbit. Other Indian satellites, particularly those in low-Planet orbits (LEO), which have less coverage of the earth, will be tracked, sent, and received in real-time. It will also be helpful in monitoring launches and helping the Gaganyaan mission crew maintain mission control while they are in transit. In 2022, Chandrayaan-3, a lander and a rover towards the moon, will launch. ISRO’s challenges in its space endeavours: Astronaut training: India lacks the necessary facilities, despite ISRO’s repeated requests since the early 2000s for local training facilities for its astronauts. Projects need large investments and run the risk of failing. Biosciences: While ISRO has mastered the engineering components of the mission, bioscience is a new subject for ISRO and calls for more technical expertise as well as collaboration and support from other organisations. Enhancing the GSLV Mk III: Gaganyaan requires a massive rocket with the ability to lift a big capsule. Large satellites can be launched into orbit using the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark III, although this rocket must now be suitable for use by people. Technology precision: A system’s reliability must be high enough to permit a failure rate of only one out of every 500 launches. Way ahead: Either setting up a specific road map within ISRO for India’s commercial space programme or creating a distinct Space Commerce entity that is independent of ISRO for space-related operations. Promoting startups because they are scalable globally and have the potential to surpass product/service offerings coming from India. By offering mentoring, ISRO enables the private sector to effectively utilise the technical experience developed by ISRO. Space legislation adoption: To establish clear timetables for the commercial space industry’s pursuit of space operations in terms of regulatory, legal, and procedural frameworks. It was suggested to promote and govern India’s space operations through the Draft Space Activities Bill, 2017. It discussed how the Department of Space supervised and gave permission for private sector organisations to participate in space activities in India. Q2. Write a short note on use of money power in elections. Paper & Topic: GS II – Election related issues Model Answer: Introduction: With several upcoming Assembly elections, one problem might require more focus than others. Money is spent heavily on elections today. Depending on estimates, a candidate may invest crores of rupees in a single constituency. Voters overlook this crucial issue amid the cacophony of campaigns, leaders, celebrities, and media attention. Political parties are thought to be the biggest and most immediate beneficiaries, and money lies at the heart of India’s political corruption problem. Election corruption results in diminished accountability, distorted representation, and asymmetry in governance. Transparency in election funding is required as a result. Body: Background: Voters support political parties because they promise to benefit the populace. The governments in power are more obligated to the donors than to the electorate if election financing come from other sources. For instance, according to the Government Budget, the Government lost 2. 24 lakh crore in 2019–20 as a result of incentives to enterprises and a reduction in tariffs and taxes. The voters are unaware of this. After the introduction of Electoral Bonds, there is no longer any transparency in fundraising. All political parties have refused to submit to the transparency that comes with Right to Information despite the CIC judgement. Additionally, financial restrictions lack clarity. Issues with finance for elections: Donation obscurity: The majority of political parties’ funding (about 70%) comes from financial donations made anonymously. Additionally, parties are exempt from income tax, giving black money hoarders a conduit. For instance, the legal status

Q1. “What are the observations made by the Supreme Court of India on Personal Liberty and Right to Life? (250 words) Paper & Topic: GS II – Indian Polity Model Answer: Introduction: The right to life and personal liberty is guaranteed by Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. Both the phrases “life” and “personal liberty” have been given a fairly broad definition that encompasses a wide range of rights. Its deprivation is only achievable following the legal procedure. The Supreme Court has given the term “life” a broad interpretation, giving it a wide range of meaning. Body: Article 21 interpretations by the Supreme Court: Human Dignity and the Right to Live In the case of Maneka Gandhi vs. Union of India, the Supreme Court declared that the right to life enshrined in Article 21 of the Indian Constitution is not only a bodily right, but also encompasses the right to live with dignity. In the case of Francis Coralie vs. Union Territory of Delhi, it was decided that the right to life includes the ability to live in dignity with the bare essentials of life such as adequate sustenance, clothing, and shelter over the head, among other things. Right to work without being subjected to sexual harassment The court ruled in Vishakha vs. the State of Rajasthan that sexual harassment of a working woman at work is a violation of her rights under Articles 14, 15, and 21 of the Indian Constitution. The guidelines were established in order to preserve a woman’s rights at work. The right to a healthy environment According to Article 21, the right to life entails a dignified life in a safe and healthy environment. Article 21 regulates the upkeep of numerous items such as health, sanitation, and environmental preservation. Vellore Citizens Welfare Forum versus Union of India is a case where the plaintiffs are the Vellore Citizens Welfare Forum and the defendants are the Union of India. The Supreme Court ruled that, while industries are important for the country’s development, the principle of “sustainable development” must be employed as a balancing concept in light of the pollution they generate. The right to know (or to be informed) In the case of Reliance Petrochemicals Ltd. vs. Proprietors of Indian Express Newspapers, the courts recognised that the right to know falls under the ambit of Article 21 of the Indian Constitution as a necessary component of participatory democracy. Prisoners’ rights: Those who have been convicted of any crime can likewise benefit from Article 21 protection. Despite the fact that he has been stripped of his other rights, he is nevertheless entitled to the rights granted by Article 21. Right to be free from arbitrary detention The Supreme Court established standards for the Central and State investigating authorities to follow in all situations of arrest and imprisonment in the case of K. Basu vs. State of West Bengal. Right to legal representation and a timely trial: In Hussainara Khatoon vs. State of Bihar, it was determined that someone accused who cannot afford legal services due to poverty, indigence, or incommunicado status has a right to free legal aid at the State’s expense under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. Diseases that are horribly contagious are revealed. The lady proposing to marry a person with a terrible sickness is entitled to all human rights that any human being is entitled to, and the right to know that person is suffering from a fatal condition that is sexually transmissible is her right to life guaranteed under Article 21. Right to Personal Space: The Supreme Court has ruled in Justice K.S. Puttuswamy vs. Union of India and Others that privacy is a fundamental right under the Indian Constitution. Right to a dignified death: The right to life was broadened by the Supreme Court to include the right to die with dignity. It approved a ‘living will’ that allows terminally ill patients or those in a persistent and incurable vegetative state (PVS) to have a dignified death by refusing medical treatment or life support. Conclusion: Article 21 is not a legally binding right. The state can place constraints on the right to life and liberty, but they must be fair, reasonable, and just, and they must be done in accordance with legal procedures. It cannot, however, be suspended in an emergency. The basic right under Article 21 is one of the most significant rights guaranteed by the Constitution, and the Apex Court in the Unni Krishnan case defined it as “the heart of fundamental rights.” Q2. Discuss the contribution of Swami Vivekanand. (250 words) Paper & Topic: GS I – Indian Culture Model Answer: Introduction: Ramakrishna’s message was propagated by Narendranath Datta (1862–1902), afterwards known as Swami Vivekananda, who also attempted to adapt it to the demands of modern Indian society. He became known as the neo-Hindu movement’s preacher. Vivekananda’s message to the world about human values is based on specific spiritual experiences he experienced with Ramakrishna, the teachings of the Upanishads and the Gita, as well as the examples of the Buddha and Jesus. Body: Swami Vivekananda’s social initiatives in pre-independence India: He held the view that education may result in socioeconomic transformation. He wanted the people of this nation to have both secular and moral education. In order to create “machines which will deliver purest concepts to the doorstep of even the poorest and meanest,” he founded the Ramakrishna Mission in 1897. Great humanist Vivekananda employed the Ramakrishna Mission for social service and humanitarian aid. Vivekananda promoted the idea of serving everyone, or the ideology of service. The Mission was managing a number of schools while Swami Vivekananda was in charge. It provided aid to persons who had been impacted by catastrophes including famines, floods, and epidemics. Vivekananda fought for women’s rights to an education. He placed a strong emphasis on traditional family values and female chastity, although he was vehemently opposed to women’s subjugation. He fervently argued that women should have access to all educational opportunities. All Indians
