Should any original certificate be submitted to the TNPSC?

Not necessary. However, in case the candidate is already in Government service, the No Objection Certificate obtained from the competent authority alone should be submitted to the Commission in original. The remaining certificates will be returned to the candidates, after verification by the Commission.

Rise of Magadha and Mauryas

Thus among monarchical states Magadha emerged as an important power. However, he had to fight for many years against Lichhavis. Ajatasatru sent his minister to sow differences among the tribes of Vrijji confederacy. Due to this effort, ultimately Ajatasatru obtained success against Lichhavi which became part of Magadha empire.  This region controlled the northern trade route called uttarapatha, while the southerly route called dakshinapatha was under the control of Magadha.  Due to these conquests, Magadha was able to manage economic resources like fertile river valleys and iron ore mines which provided the necessary supply of materials for the production of different goods. As a result it was in Magadha that we find the beginning of signs of state formation.  The Mauryan Empire, ruled by the Mauryan dynasty, was the largest and most powerful political and military empire of ancient India. Originating from the kingdom of Magadha in the Indo-Gangetic plains of modern ...

the consequences of spreading of ‘Dead Zones’ on marine ecosystem

Image
Dead zones are low-oxygen, or hypoxic, areas in the world’s oceans and lakes. Because most organisms need oxygen to live, few organisms can survive in hypoxic conditions. That is way these areas are called dead zones. Dead zones in the coastal oceans have spread exponentially since the 1960s and have serious consequences for ecosystem functioning. One of the largest dead zones forms in the Gulf of Mexico every spring. Hypoxic zones can occur naturally but climate change, nutrients run-off from the land, and eutrophication are leading to algal bloom and causing further depletion of oxygen level in water. As a result dead zones are spreading at much faster pace.  Consequences of spreading of Dead Zones on Marine Ecosystem  •The reduced dissolved oxygen in ocean water results in loss of marine life thus the habitats which were once teeming with life are transformed into biological deserts.  •Elevated nutrient levels and algal blooms can also cause problems in drinking water ...

Nature Of Psychology

A moment’s reflection will make it clear that in all the below questions brain, mind or mental activities and behavior are involved. Any observable action is an outcome of a coordination of brain, mind and behavior. Brain has a physical structure whereas mind is considered a functional correlate of brain. Psychology tries to understand the laws and principles characterizing the linkages across them in a scientific manner. How human beings receive information from environment and perceive objects?  How people, learn and remember experiences?  How do people think, reason and solve problems?  How do they differ in various psychological characteristics like intelligence, personality and interest?  How do people cope with various problems in life?  Interest in psychological issues has a long past. However, attempts to formalize the understanding of psychological phenomena in modern sense started only during 19th century. It was influenced by the developments in the d...

Effective utilization of public finds is crucial to meet development goals

The Importance of Efficient use of Public Resources Effective utilization of public resources is critical to meeting development goals. Key programs in education and health are overwhelmingly conducted within the public sector. And although private provision of infrastructure has expanded in areas like telecommunications and energy, private investors remain wary of socially-oriented sectors, such as water and sanitation, and also show little willingness to invest in the poorest countries. At present, though, research indicates that increases in public spending are only weakly correlated with the achievement of development outcomes in most developing countries. Government ineffectiveness — in the form of waste, inefficiency and corruption — is largely responsible.  Reasons for under-utilization and mis-utilizations of funds:  • Corruption: The large sum of money earmarked from public activities are taken away by officials as well as politicians in form of bribes. This results i...

India’s Public Distribution System (PDS) and steps to make food grain distribution system more effective

Image
India’s Public Distribution System (PDS) is the largest distribution network of its kind in the world. PDS was introduced around World War II as a war-time rationing measure. The Public Distribution System (PDS), till 1992, was a general entitlement scheme for all consumers without any specific target. The Revamped Public Distribution System (RPDS) was launched in June 1992. Subsequently, in 1997, the government launched the Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS), with a focus on the poor. TPDS aims to provide subsidized food and fuel to the poor through a network of ration shops. Food grains, such as rice and wheat that are provided under TPDS are procured from farmers, allocated to states and delivered to the ration shop, where the beneficiary buys his entitlement.  • In September 2013, Parliament enacted the National Food Security Act, 2013. The Act relies largely on the existing TPDS to deliver food grains as legal entitlements to poor households. This marks a shift by mak...

After the 1971 general elections, a major political-military crisis broke out in East Pakistan (New Bangladesh). India was inevitably drawn into the fray, leading to a bloody war between India and Pakistan. By November 1971, the number of refugees from East Bengal had reached 10 millions.  In India, there was a soft corner for the East Pakistan and a strong demand for swift action against Pakistan. Indira Gandhi had two considerations. First to have careful planning and preparation for the war. Military operation could be undertaken in winter so that Himalayan passes would get snowbound and China could not come to aid of Pakistan.  India gave sanctuary to the Bangladeshi government in exile and also Indian army gave military training in India and money and military equipment to Mukti Bahini. India signed ‘Indo-Soviet treaty of peace, friendship and cooperation’ which provided for immediate mutual consultations and appropriate effective measures in case of either country being ...
