DAILY CURRENT AFFAIRS IAS | UPSC Prelims and Mains Exam – 28th October 2021

Archives (PRELIMS + MAINS FOCUS) SC sets up committee to examine Pegasus allegations Part of: Prelims and GS III - Cybersecurity  Context The SC has stressed that the power of the state to snoop in the name of national security into the “sacred private space” of individuals is not absolute. Thus, it has appointed an expert technical committee overseen by former Supreme Court judge R.V. Raveendran to examine allegations that the Centre used Israeli software Pegasus to spy on citizens. The court has also said that in a democratic country governed by the rule of law, indiscriminate spying cannot be allowed except with sufficient statutory safeguards. The use of technology for surveillance by the state must be evidence-based. What is Pegasus?  It is a spyware tool developed by an Israeli firm, the NSO Group.  Spyware spies on people through their phones.  Pegasus works by sending an exploit link, and if the target user clicks on the link, the malware or the code that allows the surveillance is installed on the user’s phone.  Once Pegasus is installed, the attacker has complete access to the target user’s phone.  What can Pegasus do?  Pegasus can “send back the target’s private data, including passwords, contact lists, calendar events, text messages, and live voice calls from popular mobile messaging apps”.  The target’s phone camera and microphone can be turned on to capture all activity in the phone’s vicinity, expanding the scope of the surveillance.  AY4.2 ‘infrequent’ in India: INSACOG Part of: Prelims and GS II - Health Context The latest mutation of the coronavirus variant, AY4.2, which has been linked to a rise in cases in the United Kingdom, is “very infrequent” in India, according to a weekly report by the India SARS-CoV-2 Genome Consortium (INSACOG). What is AY4.2? AY.4.2 is a descendant of the Delta variant of COVID-19. The Delta variant, also known as B.1.617.2, was first identified in India in October 2020. The AY.4.2 sub-lineage contains 2 mutations in its spike protein — A222V and Y145H. It is dubbed “Delta Plus” and now named VUI-21OCT-01 by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)). What is Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomic Consortia (INSACOG)? Coordinated by: Department of Biotechnology (DBT) along with MoH&FW, ICMR, and CSIR The consortium will ascertain the status of new variant of SARS-CoV-2 in the country.  INSACOG will have a high level Inter-Ministerial Steering Committee.  It will have a Scientific Advisory Group for scientific and technical guidance. Aim: To monitor the genomic variations in the SARS-CoV-2 on a regular basis through a multi-laboratory network. This vital research consortium will also assist in developing potential vaccines in the future.  The consortium will also establish a sentinel surveillance for early detection of genomic variants with public health implication, and determine the genomic variants in the unusual events/trends (super-spreader events, high mortality/morbidity trend areas etc.). India seeks vaccine loans from ADB, AIIB Part of: Prelims and GS II - Health; International Relations  Context The Government of India has applied for loans from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) to procure as many as 667 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines. Key takeaways  The ADB is expected to lend $1.5 billion and the AIIB around $500 million. The 667 million doses will have to be vaccines qualified by the World Health Organization (WHO). AIIB will co-finance the vaccine procurement. The vaccine purchase by the Government of India has been made under the ADB’s Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility (APVAX) initiative. What is APVAX initiative? It was Launched in December 2020. It offers “rapid and equitable support to its developing member countries as they procure and deliver effective and safe COVID-19 vaccines”.  Asian Development Bank (ADB) It is a regional development bank.  It was established on 19 December 1966.  Headquarters: Mandaluyong, Philippines.  It was established to promote social and economic development in Asia.  Motto: ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient and sustainable Asia & the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty. Five largest borrowing countries are China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Bangladesh.  The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB)  It is a multilateral development bank with headquarters in Beijing, China. It is a development bank with a mission to improve the economic and social outcomes in Asia. It has 103 approved members. It focuses on investment in sustainable infrastructure and developmental projects. Membership to the bank is open to all members of the Asian Development Bank or the World Bank. African Union Part of: Prelims and GS II - International Relations  Context The African Union has suspended Sudan until civilian rule in the country was restored, saying it rejected the military takeover in Sudan as an “unconstitutional” seizure of power. Also, the World Bank has suspended aid to Sudan following the military coup. About African Union It is a continental union consisting of 55 countries of Africa.  In 2017, the AU admitted Morocco as a member state. The AU was announced in the Sirte Declaration in Sirte, Libya in 1999. It was founded in 2001 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It was launched in 2002 in Durban, South Africa. The AU’s secretariat, the African Union Commission, is based in Addis Ababa Mullaperiyar dam issue Part of: Prelims and GS II - Separation of powers Context The Supreme Court has directed the Supervisory Committee to take an immediate and firm decision on the maximum water level that can be maintained at Mullaperiyar dam, amid torrential rain in Kerala. Background The SC constituted a permanent Supervisory Committee in 2014 to oversee all the issues concerning Mullaperiyar dam. The dam is a source of friction between Tamil Nadu and Kerala. What’s the issue? Kerala said the water level should not go above 139 feet, the same as what the court had ordered on August 24, 2018, when the State was hit by floods. It is because the lives of 50 lakh people would be in danger if the water level in the dam is raised. However, Tamil Nadu objected to this decision citing the Supreme Court judgments of 2006 and 2014, which fixed the maximum water level at 142 feet. Latest recommendation of the Supervisory Committee The Supervisory Committee recommended in the Supreme Court that there is no need to change the water level in the Mullaperiyar dam. Tamil Nadu states that its water level is at 137feet. However, Kerala did not agree with its opinion citing that its eventual release would risk floods and endanger the lives of lakhs of people in Kerala. What does Tamil Nadu say? Tamil Nadu claims that although it has undertaken measures to strengthen the dam, the Kerala government has blocked any attempt to raise the reservoir water level – resulting in losses for Madurai farmers. What are Kerala’s arguments? Kerala, however, highlights fears of devastation by residents living downstream in the earthquake-prone district of Idukki. Scientists have argued that if there is an earthquake in the region measuring above six on the Richter scale, the lives of over three million people will come under grave danger. Mullaperiyar Dam It is a masonry gravity dam built at the confluence of Mullayar and Periyar rivers. Although the dam is located in Kerala, it is operated by Tamil Nadu following an 1886 lease indenture for 999 years (the Periyar Lake Lease Agreement) that was signed between the Maharaja of Travancore and the Secretary of State for India for the Periyar Irrigation works. It was Constructed between 1887 and 1895. It redirected the river to flow towards the Bay of Bengal, instead of the Arabian Sea and provide water to the arid rain region of Madurai in Madras Presidency. Miscellaneous Har Ghar Dastak” (Knock Every Door) campaign The Health Ministry has launched the “Har Ghar Dastak” (Knock Every Door) campaign. It is scheduled to start soon in districts with low vaccination rates to enthuse and motivate people towards getting their jab. There were more than 10.34 crore people in the country who had missed the second dose of COVID-19 that they were due to take.

Emphasized on the need for an efficient, cooperative and collaborative harnessing of the region’s maritime potential for sustaining a steady path to prosperity. While the seas offer abundant opportunities for sustenance and growth of the mankind, they pose challenges such as terrorism, piracy, drug trafficking and climate change. There is a need to find convergence of interests and commonality of purpose on maritime issues. About Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue 2021 First conducted in 2018, the IPRD is the apex international annual conference of the Indian Navy and is the principal manifestation of the Navy’s engagement at the strategic-level.  The National Maritime Foundation is the Navy’s knowledge partner and chief organiser of each edition of this annual event.  The aim of each successive edition is to review both opportunities and challenges that arise within the Indo-Pacific. News Source: PIB ADB, India sign $100 million loan In News: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Government of India signed a $100 million loan to promote agribusiness network to boost farm incomes and reduce food losses in the State of Maharashtra - Maharashtra Agribusiness Network (MAGNET) Project Holistic support to on-farm improvement in productivity,  Up-gradation of post-harvest facilities Establishing efficient marketing structures to benefit horticulture producers Maharashtra produces 11% and 6% of India’s fruit and vegetable production, respectively, and accounts for about 8% of the country’s floriculture exports, most smallholder farmers lack capital to scale up and do not have direct access to emerging high-value markets. News Source: PIB (Mains Focus) AGRICULTURE / GOVERNANCE GS-3: Public Distribution System- objectives, functioning, limitations, revamping; issues of buffer stocks and food security. GS-2: Government policies and interventions for development in various sectors and issues arising out of their design and implementation. Procurement Reforms Context: Food Corporation of India (FCI) website shows that in October FCI was holding 86 million tonnes of grains (including unmilled paddy) against a buffer requirement (October 1) of 30 million tonnes.  Last year’s procurement led to FCI holding a record quantity of grains in June-July thus year. During pandemic year, government raised the offtake of foodgrains from 65 million tonnes annually to 93 million tonnes (increased provision under PM Garib Kalyan Yojana)  What are the issues with FCI procurement? Against a 65 million tonne annual requirement of foodgrains for distribution under the National Food Security Act, such massive procurement, is not only wasteful (given the lack of storage capacity) but also risks making India’s procurement for food security seem market-distortionary. Even though the FCI has been conducting open market auctions for part of its excess holdings, this is hardly enough to take care of the problem of excess. Export is obviously no route to liquidate the excess stock since WTO norms against market-distortion would kick in. Paddy/rice seems the main culprit—especially procurement from Punjab—with severe economic and environmental consequences. Short of giving the grains away, there seems to be little that can be done—unless, of course, a policy correction is made. What policy correction is required? The government can keep procuring to keep a handful of farmers in two/three states happy and perhaps donate surpluses to food programmes locally and overseas.  Or Government can dilute the MSP’s appeal and move to end open procurement. A “micro-analysis of state-wise requirements and buffer norms” being done by the FCI should be expedited Another way to minimise the pain would be to limit open-ended procurement, say, by capping procurement as per size of individual land-holding. Government can also move to a pure cost-support regime but this will need significant political will, given rich and influential farmers’ addiction to price-support. Centre and Punjab must work together to incentivise the state’s farmers to switch from paddy to maize and even fruit and vegetables. Conclusion Without the above mentioned reforms, FCI’s burden will only grow. Connecting the dots: PM Garib Kalyan Yojana New Agricultural Bills and Opposition to it HEALTH/ GOVERNANCE GS-2: Issues relating to development and management of Social Sector/Services relating to Health,  GS-2: Government policies and interventions for development in various sectors and issues arising out of their design and implementation.  Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission Context: COVID-19 exposed several weaknesses in India’s underfunded health system.  What are the major issues with India’ s Health System? Rural primary care is underfunded and has shortages of staff, equipment, drugs and infrastructure in many parts of the country.  Urban primary healthcare has still not emerged as an active programme in many States.  District and medical college hospitals suffer shortages of specialist doctors and support staff. The private sector ranges from advanced tertiary care hospitals in big cities to informal and often unqualified care providers in villages.  During the pandemic, Private sector could not effectively provide affordable care or deliver vaccines in large parts of India.  There is a disconnect between the various levels of care within the public system, and the private system operated in a separate universe.  Most government-funded healthcare insurance programmes did not cover outpatient care. Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (ABHIM) It will support infrastructure development of 17,788 rural health and wellness centres (HWCs) in seven high-focus States and three north-eastern States.  In addition, 11,044 urban HWCs will be established in close collaboration with Urban Local Bodies. To provide a continuum of care at different levels, HWCs will be linked with the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, for all entitled beneficiaries. The hub-and-spoke model of block, district, regional and national public health laboratories will enable effective microbial surveillance.  Simultaneously, the network of centres will build a trained public health workforce that can perform routine public health functions while responding to a public health emergency. Support for 3,382 block public health units (BPHUs) in 11 high-focus States  It will provide for establishment of integrated district public health laboratories in all 730 districts that will strengthen capacity for information technology-enabled disease surveillance.  To enhance the capabilities for microbial surveillance, a National Platform for One Health will be established.  Four Regional National Institutes of Virology will be established. Laboratory capacity under the National Centre for Disease Control, ICMR and national research institutions will be strengthened. Critical care hospital blocks, with 50-100 beds, will be established in 602 districts, to enable care for those with serious infectious diseases without disrupting other services. For enhancing the level of disaster response readiness, 15 health emergency operation centres and two container-based mobile hospitals will be created. Private sector participation in service delivery may be invited by States, as per need and availability. The government will spend Rs 64,180 crore on the scheme from the financial year 2021-22 to 2025-26. It can enable data-driven decentralised decision-making and people-partnered primary care at the block level while strengthening national connectivity for delivering universal healthcare. Therefore, the scheme aims at establishing comprehensive surveillance of infectious diseases. comprehensive diagnostics and treatment facilities.  comprehensive pandemic research Way Ahead There is a need to train and deploy a larger and better skilled health workforce. Upgraded district hospitals offer the best opportunity for creating new training centres.  Public health expertise will be needed for programme design, delivery, implementation and monitoring in many sectors that impact health.  Many independently functioning programmes will have to work with a common purpose and this requires a need for a change of bureaucratic mindsets and a cultural shift in Centre-State relations. Connecting the dots: Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission Ayushman Bharat PMJAY (Sansad: Perspective) Oct 26: Climate Change & Public Perception- https://youtu.be/sI4wU0ECjCE  TOPIC: GS-III: Climate Change Climate Change & Public Perception Context: From severe heat waves to extreme rainfall—the threats of climate change are becoming more palpable and attracting the attention of policymakers from around the world. While the increased public focus is a necessary first step, successfully mitigating the risk of climate change will also depend on the support and appropriate collective action from local communities. In News: The year 2021 marks a crucial juncture for charting the future of climate action. In the run-up to the G20 Summit and COP26 the UNDP and the University of Oxford have publishing the G20 Peoples’ Climate Vote.  G20 Peoples’ Climate Vote The G20 Peoples’ Climate Vote polled over 689,000 people across 18 of the G20 countries from October 2020 until June 2021 focussed on various aspects of the issue of climate change including Climate Finance Policy, Cutting emissions and climate adaptation policy. In the survey, respondents were asked if climate change was a global emergency and whether they supported eighteen key climate policies across six action areas: economy, energy, transport, food & farms, nature and protecting people.   According to this report,  On average 70 per cent of young people in G20 countries believe that we are in a global climate emergency. 65 percent of adults believe the same. In eight of the ten survey countries with the highest emissions from the power sector, majorities backed more renewable energy.  In four out of the five countries with the highest emissions from land-use change and enough data on policy preferences, there was majority support for conserving forests and land.  Nine out of ten of the countries with the most urbanized populations backed more use of clean electric cars and buses, or bicycles.   Policies had wide-ranging support, with the most popular being conserving forests and land (54% public support), more solar, wind and renewable power (53%), adopting climate-friendly farming techniques (52%) and investing more in green businesses and jobs (50%). The results of the survey clearly illustrate that urgent climate action has broad support amongst people around the globe, across nationalities, age, gender and education level. But more than that, the poll reveals how people want their policymakers to tackle the crisis. From climate-friendly farming to protecting nature and investing in a green recovery from COVID-19, the survey brings the voice of the people to the forefront of the climate debate. It signals ways in which countries can move forward with public support as we work together to tackle this enormous challenge. Note: The Group of 20 made up of 19 countries and the European Union, account for over 80% of global GDP, 60% of the world’s population, and more than 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Other Tiger Reserves in Tamil Nadu Anamalai Tiger Reserve (ATR) Kalakad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve (KMTR) Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve (STR) Mobile hospitals under PM Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission Part of: Prelims and GS II - Health Context Recently it was highlighted by the Union Health minister that under recently launched PM Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission, various tests would be done for free at the district level, which will reduce expenses and unnecessary travel for the poor. Key takeaways  For the first time in Asia, two container-based hospitals, equipped with comprehensive medical facilities, will be stationed in Chennai and Delhi and kept at the ready to be swiftly mobilised by rail or air to respond to any calamity or disaster in the country. Objective: To fill critical gaps in public health infrastructure, especially in critical care facilities and primary care in both the urban and rural areas. Strengthening of points of entry will ring-fence India’s borders against the import of new infectious diseases and pathogens. Development of critical care hospital blocks in districts shall make the districts self-sufficient in providing comprehensive treatment for infectious diseases  Every district shall have at least one medical college as well. Matrilineal Meghalaya to give land rights to men Part of: Prelims and GS I - Society Context Matrilineal Meghalaya is set to break the tradition of parents hand down a major share of parental property to the khatduh, which means the youngest daughter in the Khasi language. The Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) is scheduled to introduce the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Khasi Inheritance of Property Bill, 2021, for equal distribution of parental property among siblings, both male and female. The bill will enable equitable distribution of property among the heirs irrespective of gender. The Bill also has a provision for denying share of property to any ward who marries a non-tribal and accepts the culture and tradition of his or her spouse. About the tradition of the Khasis  Khasis – who account for Meghalaya’s largest ethnic community ­– are one of the last existing matrilineal societies in the world.  Here, children receive their mother's last name, husbands move into their wife's home, and the youngest daughters inherit the ancestral property. Khasi is used as an umbrella phrase to refer to many subgroups in Meghalaya who have distinguishing languages, rites, ceremonies, and habits, but share an ethnic identity as Ki Hynniew Trep (The Seven Huts). Unmanned Traffic Management Service Providers (UTMSP) Part of: Prelims and GS III - Aviation  Context The Ministry of Civil Aviation has notified a traffic management policy framework for drones, which envisages private, third-party service providers for ensuring safe operations. Key takeaways  Major role: Under the framework, these Unmanned Traffic Management Service Providers (UTMSP) will extend automated, algorithm-driven software services instead of voice communication as in the traditional Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems.  Responsibility: They will be responsible for segregating and separating a drone from other drones and manned aircraft in the airspace below 1,000 feet in the country. Supplementary Service Providers (SSPs): The traffic management providers will be assisted by Supplementary Service Providers (SSPs), who will maintain data about terrain, weather, location of manned aircraft and provide services such as insurance, data analytics and drone fleet management. Law enforcement and security agencies will also have access to some information in the UTM ecosystem on a need-to-know basis. Levy of Service fee allowed The policy also allows UTMSPs to levy a service fee on users, a small portion of which will also be shared with the Airports Authority of India. In order to implement this policy, the government is likely to carry out UTM-based experiments in the country and then float a request for proposal for onboarding UTMSPs. Following which an evaluation process will be undertaken and successful participants will be awarded regions for establishment of UTM services. Digital safety principles of G7 Part of: Prelims and GS II - International Relations  Context G7 nations recently agreed on a joint set of principles to govern cross-border data use and digital trade.  The deal sets out a middle ground between highly regulated data protection regimes used in European countries and the more open approach of the United States. Key provisions of the G7 Digital Trade Principles Open Digital Markets: Digital and telecommunications markets should be competitive, transparent, fair, and accessible. Cross Border Data Flows: To harness the opportunities of the digital economy, data should be able to flow freely across borders with trust Safeguards for Workers, Consumers and Businesses: Labour protections must be in place for workers who are directly engaged in or support digital trade.  Digital Trading Systems: To cut red tape and enable more businesses to trade, governments and industries should drive forward the digitisation of trade-related documents.  Fair and Inclusive Global Governance: Common rules for digital trade should be agreed upon and upheld at the World Trade Organization (WTO).  Data Encryption: Businesses should not be required or coerced to transfer technology or provide access to source code or encryption keys as a condition of market access. About G7 G7 stands for “Group of Seven” industrialized nations.  It used to be known as the G8 (Group of Eight) until 2014 when Russia was excluded because of its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. Countries: United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Japan, France and Italy.  The G7 does not have a formal constitution or a fixed headquarters. It is an informal bloc and The decisions taken by leaders during annual summits are non-binding.

News Source: PIB India’s TB Elimination Programme Part of: Prelims and Mains GS-II: Issues relating to development and management of Social Sector/Services relating to Health In News: WHO South-East Asia Region (SEAR) High-Level Meeting held for renewed TB response co-chaired by India. India’s contribution towards eliminating TB Eliminating TB by 2025: India is committed to eliminating tuberculosis by 2025, five years ahead of the global target of 2030. National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme: To align with the ambitious goal, the programme has been renamed from the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) to National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP Addressing all co-morbidities and goes beyond medical interventions to tackle the social determinants of TB while minimizing access barriers to diagnosis and treatment.  Through the Nikshay Poshan Yojana, nutritional support is extended to all TB patients for the entire duration of their treatment.  Rigorously working towards Airborne Infection Control in hospital wards and outpatient waiting areas.  Has the provision of chemoprophylaxis against TB disease in pediatric contacts of TB patients and PLHIV patients.  The process is ongoing for expanding TB preventive treatment for the adult contacts too. ‘TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan’ has been launched as a people’s movement for TB elimination in India.  India remains committed to supporting countries in its neighbourhood with possible technical support and assistance. Indi appreciated the South-East Asia Region (SEAR) for demonstrating the highest-level political commitment towards ending tuberculosis and increasing investments towards ending TB. Tuberculosis (TB) Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Transmission: TB is spread from person to person through the air. When people with TB cough, sneeze or spit, they propel the TB germs into the air. Symptoms: Cough with sputum and blood at times, chest pains, weakness, weight loss, fever and night sweats. TB is a treatable and curable disease.  Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a form of TB caused by bacteria that do not respond to isoniazid and rifampicin, the 2 most powerful, first-line anti-TB drugs. It is treatable and curable by using second-line drugs. Extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) is a more serious form of MDR-TB caused by bacteria that do not respond to the most effective second-line anti-TB drugs, often leaving patients without any further treatment options. Reports say According to the India TB report, in 2020, there were 18.05 tuberculosis notifications, which was a fall of 24% from 2019 due to the disruptions caused by the pandemic. According to the 2021 Global TB report released recently by the World Health Organization (WHO), for the first time in over a decade, Tuberculosis (TB) deaths have increased globally. WHO modelling projections suggest that the number of people developing TB and dying from the disease could be much higher in 2021 and 2022. News Source: PIB (Mains Focus) ENVIRONMENT/ INTERNATIONAL GS-2: Effect of policies and politics of developed and developing countries on India’s interests  GS-3: Conservation, environmental pollution and degradation  Why India shouldn’t sign on to net zero Context: The top three emitters of the world — China, the U.S. and the European Union — even after taking account of their net zero commitments and their enhanced emission reduction commitments for 2030, will emit more than 500 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide before net zero. With these committed emissions, there is no hope of “keeping 1.5°C alive.” The target is dead-on-arrival.  Why India shouldn’t sign on Net Zero? Not part of any Protocols: Neither the Paris Agreement nor climate science requires that net zero be reached individually by countries by 2050. Paris accord requires only global achievement of this goal “in the second half of the century” Net Zero Ignores Equity: Claims that the world “must” reach specific goals by 2030 or 2050 are the product of specific economic models for climate action. These are designed to achieve the Paris goals by the “lowest cost” methods, foregoing equity and climate justice.  Against Historical Responsibility: Less than a fifth of the world has been responsible for three-fifths of all past cumulative emissions, the U.S. and the EU alone having contributed a whopping 45%. For India to declare net zero now is to accede to the further over-appropriation of the global carbon budget by a few.  India’s Commitment won’t alter much: India’s contribution to global emissions, in both stock and flow, is so disproportionately low that any sacrifice on its part can do nothing to save the world.  Bad Precedence of West: The failure of the developed world to meet its pre-2020 obligations along with its refusal to acknowledge this provides little confidence for India with regard to commitments announced by West. What India must do  India’s emissions story cannot be bracketed with the top three. India is responsible for no more than 4.37% cumulative emissions of carbon dioxide since the pre-industrial era, even though it is home to more than a sixth of humanity.  India’s per capita emissions are less than half the world average, less than one-eighth of the U.S.’s, and have shown no dramatic increase like China’s post 2000. The allocation of property rights (Carbon Budget), without grandfathering, is essential to ensure equitable access to any global commons. The global carbon budget has been subject to no such restriction allowing the developed countries to exploit it fully, in the past and the present. India, in enlightened self-interest, must now stake its claim to a fair share of the global carbon budget. The absence of such a claim only eases the way for the continued over-exploitation of the global commons by a few. Such a claim by India provides it greater, and much-needed long-term options. It enables the responsible use of coal, oil and gas, to develop, eradicate poverty, hunger and malnutrition for good.  Even if India were to enhance its short-term Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement, it should do so while staking a claim to its share of the global commons.  Connecting the dots: Paris Climate Deal China’s Climate Commitments  INTERNATIONAL/ SECURITY GS-2: India and its neighborhood- relations  GS-3: Challenges in managing the borders China’s new land border law and Indian concerns Context: On October 23, China passed a new land law for the “protection and exploitation of the country’s land border areas” which will come into effect from January 1. The law is not meant specifically for the border with India; however, the 3,488-km boundary remains disputed, and some experts feel it could create further hurdles in the resolution of the 17-month-long military standoff.  Do You Know? China shares its 22,457-km land boundary with 14 countries including India, the third longest after the borders with Mongolia and Russia.  Unlike the Indian border, however, China’s borders with these two countries are not disputed.  The only other country with which China has disputed land borders is Bhutan (477 km). The Chinese law It states that “the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China are sacred and inviolable”, and asks the state to “take measures to safeguard territorial integrity and land boundaries and guard against and combat any act that undermines it”. The state can take measures “to strengthen border defence, support economic and social development as well as opening-up in border areas, encourage and support people’s life and work there and promote coordination between border defence and social, economic development in border areas”. In effect, this suggests a push to settle civilians in the border areas.  However, the law also asks the state to follow the principles of “equality, mutual trust, and friendly consultation, handle land border related-affairs with neighbouring countries through negotiations to properly resolve disputes and longstanding border issues” Implications on India The announcement of a law that makes China’s borders “sacred and inviolable” at a time of prolonged ongoing discussions to resolve the standoff in eastern Ladakh, may create further hurdles in arriving at lasting solution. The PLA is now “bound to protect the integrity, sovereignty of the border”, and saying “that PLA is going to pull out from A, B, C, D areas, will make this much more difficult”. Overall, it will make negotiations a little more difficult, a pullout from balance areas less likely. China has been building “well-off” border defence villages across the LAC in all sectors. China is trying to change the facts on the ground not only through military but also civilian presence. The “dual civil and military use” of border villages is a concern for India. Some experts think the law is just words — what has impacted the ties is not domestic Chinese legislation, but their actions on the ground. Connecting the dots: India-China, a year after Galwan  India-China Border flare-up Galwan Valley Clashes in 2020 (Sansad: Perspective) Oct 25: Boosting Health Infrastructure- https://youtu.be/S1n9j-grD2k TOPIC: GS-II: Issues relating to development and management of Social Sector/Services relating to Health Boosting Health Infrastructure In News: Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission has been launched which will be one of the largest pan-India scheme for strengthening healthcare infrastructure across the country. The government will spend Rs 64,180 crore on the scheme from the financial year 2021-22 to 2025-26. To address three critical gaps in India’s public health sector:  Augmenting health facilities for treatment Setting up of Integrated Public Health labs for diagnosis of disease Expansion of existing research institutions that study pandemics Component 1: Establish comprehensive surveillance of infectious diseases At the district level, Integrated Public Health laboratories in all 730 districts will be set up. At the state level, five regional branches and 20 metropolitan units of the National Centre for Disease Control.  At the national level, an Integrated Health Information Platform (IHIP) will be established. Component 2: Creation of comprehensive diagnostics and treatment facilities At the district level, 17,788 new rural health and wellness centres will be set up; 11,024 new urban health and wellness centres will be set up; critical care hospital blocks will be established in each of 602 districts, with a population of more than 5 lakh. At the state level, 15 health emergency operation centres will be set up.  At the national level, two container-based mobile hospitals will be set up; and critical care hospital blocks in 12 Government of India hospitals will be set up — which will also act as mentor institutions for training and capacity building. Component 3: Comprehensive pandemic research At the district level, strengthening of existing 80 viral diagnostics and research labs will be undertaken.  At the state level, 15 new bio-safety level III laboratories will be operationalised. At the national level, four new regional national institutes for virology will be operationalized and a regional research platform (digital) for WHO southeast Asia Region will also be set up. Why is the scheme significant? India has long been in need of a ubiquitous healthcare system. A study (‘State of Democracy in South Asia (SDSA)–Round 3’) by Lokniti-CSDS in 2019 highlighted how access to public health care remained elusive to those living on the margins. The study found that  70 per cent of the locations have public healthcare services. However, availability was less in rural areas (65 per cent) compared to urban areas (87 per cent). In 45 per cent of the surveyed locations, people could access healthcare services by walking, whereas in 43 per cent of the locations they needed to use transport.  The survey also found that proximity to healthcare services is higher in urban localities: 64 per cent of the enumerators in urban areas observed that people can access healthcare services by walking, while only 37 per cent in rural areas can do so Note: Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) is a flagship digital initiative involving the creation of not just a unique health ID for every citizen, but also a digital healthcare professionals and facilities registry.
