style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><strong>\u2018Aim for the moon\u2019<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a byword for any venture marked by extreme ambition bordering on the foolhardy. When India started space research in the 1960s, many thought it was being reckless: a struggling, young nation sinking some of its limited resources in a highly uncertain enterprise.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Even before the government set up the <a href=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/nsil-new-commercial-arm-of-isros\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Indian Space Research Organization<\/strong><\/a> in 1969, the country was having a significant research programme in space science.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">It was then coordinated by the Department of Atomic Energy, which itself had been founded in the early 1950s. These were certainly not isolated initiatives. Between 1951 and 1961, India established five <strong>Indian Institutes of Technology<\/strong>, which in no time grew into globally respected academic centres.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">The first two <strong>Indian Institutes of Management<\/strong> were inaugurated in 1961. During the two decades of the 1950s and 1960s, a number of public sector units were established in diverse areas of industrial production that included steel, fertilizer, machine tools, electric machinery, drug production, and petrochemicals.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Taken together, these public investments show that India was determined to become a serious player in advanced technologies of the time despite the multifold challenges facing the young nation. New technologies, it was believed, would quicken the pace of development of the country, which had suffered from two centuries of colonialism.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The momentous steps India had taken in the decades immediately after Independence may be characterised as a <\/span><strong>\u2018moonshot\u2019<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> approach to development \u2014 deploying modern industrialisation to shake off the ills of the past.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">However, India\u2019s moonshot development strategy was only partially successful. It has also been the subject of much criticism from certain quarters, over the years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">One was for its heavy reliance on public investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Two, the investments were being<strong> \u2018misdirected\u2019,<\/strong> according to some economists. Being a labour surplus country, they argue, India should have stuck to its comparative advantages in labour \u00adintensive industries, such as garments or footwear, rather than squandering the country\u2019s scarce savings in capital\u00ad and technology \u00adintensive industries.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">But the time needed for a new technology to come to fruition is too long, and the initial effort required is too steep, that it is unlikely to expect a private player to lead the moves to acquire it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">A key factor behind the programme\u2019s eventual success has been public funding, which did not waver for lack of short\u00adterm commercial viability.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">It is precisely because of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/digital-public-goods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018public good<\/a>\u2019<\/strong> nature of technologies that public sector support becomes crucial for developing them. Needless to say, the Internet emerged from a research programme funded by the <strong>United States<\/strong> government, with military objectives, in the late 1950s.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">In India, the technological capabilities built through state support provided the base for the flourishing of private enterprise in many sectors, including pharmaceuticals, information technology, and the space sector too (more of it likely in the years ahead).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">The lacklustre record for India\u2019s development strategy then was not on account of the government doing too much in the area of technology building.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">But, on the contrary, it was because the state or the government could not intervene effectively to reduce inequalities or ensure social development. Independent India did not implement a successful programme of land redistribution.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">For the downtrodden, disadvantages due to the lack of assets translate into hurdles in acquiring education, given that India has consistently underinvested in basic education for the masses.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2021-\u00ad22, 38.2% of all SC workers were \u2018casual\u2019, earning their livelihoods mostly out of hard manual labour; the corresponding proportion was 11.2% for workers belonging to the (\u2018other\u2019) general category castes <\/span><b>(Periodic Labour Force Survey data).<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Looking forward, we need to have a clear recognition of what went wrong, and where we got it right, with the ambitious development strategy India launched immediately after Independence.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">The audacious attempt to build technological and industrial capabilities with generous state support was the correct thing to do. The country must reinstate such efforts if it has to stand a chance in fast\u00ad growing economic fields, be it semiconductors or biotechnology. After 1991, India abandoned planning for industrial growth assuming, mistakenly, that there is no role for industrial policy in a globalised economy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">India\u2019s mission to use technology to propel itself to a higher level of development is half won.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Silent_killer_India_must_get_more_people_to_keep_blood_pressure_under_control\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>Silent killer: India must get more people<br \/>\nto keep blood pressure under control<\/b><\/span><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>(<\/strong><strong>Current Affairs 22 Sep 2023 | <\/strong><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Relevant for <b>GS paper-2<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17687 \" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/hypertension-284x300.jpg\" alt=\"Daily Current Affairs 22 Sep 2023 | GS | Sociology UPSC | Triumph IAS\" width=\"858\" height=\"906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/hypertension-284x300.jpg 284w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/hypertension-142x150.jpg 142w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/hypertension.jpg 714w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 858px) 100vw, 858px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Globally, hypertension affects one in three individuals and four out of five do not have it adequately controlled, according to the first <\/span><b>World<a href=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/world-health-organization-its-relevance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Health Organization (WHO) <\/a><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">report on hypertension released on September 19.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Uncontrolled blood pressure (over 140\/90) is a main risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and stroke, and the most common cause of disease and death.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">It is important to note that health risks associated with hypertension do not begin at over 140\/90.

While member States are required to achieve a 30% relative reduction in mean population intake of salt by 2025, India is yet to implement many components of WHO\u2019s prescription to cut down salt intake.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">A study in four <strong>Indian States<\/strong> published in 2021 found high salt and sugar content in packaged food items.

However, a critical difference between reviewing a report card and India\u2019s economic figures is that the latter tells a far more nuanced story.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Q1 data covering the <\/span><b>GDP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> growth rate from April to June of FY24 boasts a nominal growth rate of 8% and a real growth rate of 7.8%.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">The growth story currently posits that the numbers reflect an uptick in the agriculture sector growing at 3.5%, unlikely to be sustained due to pressure from the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/el-nino-and-its-impact-on-indian-monsoon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">El Ni\u00f1o<\/a> phenomenon,<\/strong> and the services industry, with financial, real estate and professional services growing at 12.2%.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">The first factor to consider is that calculating the <a href=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/impact-of-indias-declining-gdp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GDP<\/a> growth rate involves many complex statistical choices and sophisticated statistical operations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">One such decision the NSO made while conducting their research was to use the income approach of calculating GDP rather than the expenditure approach.

Moreover, another essential statistical operation is the adjusting for inflation using the price deflator.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Typically, the deflator is meant to adjust growth figures when they are overstated by inflation.

Questions such as &#8220;<strong><em>which optional subject is the best?<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong><em>which optional subject is the most scoring?<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; frequently come to mind. Choosing the right optional subject, like choosing the <strong><em>best sociology optional teacher<\/em><\/strong>, is a subjective yet vital step that requires a thoughtful decision based on facts. A misstep in this crucial decision can indeed prove disastrous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Ever since the exam pattern was revamped in 2013, the UPSC has eliminated the need for a second optional subject. Now, candidates have to choose only one <strong>optional subject for the UPSC Mains<\/strong>, which has two papers of 250 marks each. One of the compelling choices for many has been the sociology optional. However, it&#8217;s strongly advised to decide on your optional subject for mains well ahead of time to get sufficient time to complete the syllabus. After all, most students score similarly in General Studies Papers; it&#8217;s the score in the optional subject &amp; essay that contributes significantly to the final selection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 20px;\"><strong><em><span style=\"font-size: 36px;\">\u201c<\/span>A sound strategy does not rely solely on the popular<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 20px;\"><strong><em>Opinion of toppers or famous YouTubers cum teachers.<span style=\"font-size: 36px;\">\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">It requires understanding one&#8217;s ability, interest, and the relevance of the subject, not just for the exam but also for life in general.

For example, choosing the <strong><em>best sociology optional coaching<\/em><\/strong> can ensure access to top-quality study materials and experienced teachers. Always remember, the approach of the UPSC optional subject differs from your academic studies of subjects. Therefore, before settling for <strong><em>sociology optional<\/em><\/strong>, you need to analyze the syllabus, previous years&#8217; pattern, subject requirements (be it ideal, visionary, numerical, conceptual theoretical), and your comfort level with the subject.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">This decision marks a critical point in your <strong><em>UPSC &#8211; CSE journey<\/em><\/strong>, potentially determining your success in a career in IAS\/Civil Services.
