Solution for burning of crop residue

-

In 2014, the Union government released the National Policy for Management of Crop Residue. Since then, crop residue management has helped make the soil more fertile, thereby resulting in savings of Rs 2,000/hectare from the farmer’s manure cost.

Farmers can also manage crop residues effectively by employing agricultural machines like:

  • Happy Seeder(used for sowing of crop in standing stubble)
  • Rotavator (used for land preparation and incorporation of crop stubble in the soil)
  • Zero till seed drill (used for land preparations directly sowing of seeds in the previous crop stubble)
  • Baler (used for collection of straw and making bales of the paddy stubble)
  • Paddy Straw Chopper (cutting of paddy stubble for easily mixing with the soil)
  • Reaper Binder (used for harvesting paddy stubble and making into bundles)

On other hand, these machines are too costly and the state governments should come forward and provide better subsidy so that farmer can afford these machines. Former Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh had said that the government is providing subsidy at 50-80 per cent for crop residue management machinery.

It critiques the reliance on English in legal proceedings and judgments, which often alienates non-English-speaking citizens, thereby questioning the accessibility and inclusivity of the justice system. Key Points: 1. Constitutional Provisions on Language: .Article 343 designates Hindi as the official language of the Union. Article 345 allows states to adopt their own official languages. Article 348 mandates that laws made by Parliament and judgments of the Supreme Court be in English. 2. Judicial Language Practices: The Supreme Court and High Courts predominantly use English Some states have introduced regional languages in their High Courts, but judgments are still required to be in English. 3. Historical and Legislative Developments: In 1986, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi proposed introducing Tamil in th...

The crisis of ethical values in modern times is traced to a narrow perception of the good life. Discuss. ?

-
 The crisis of ethical values in modern times can indeed be attributed, in part, to a narrow perception of the good life. When the concept of a "good life" becomes limited to material wealth, individual success, and immediate gratification, ethical values and considerations can often be overshadowed or compromised.

Materialism and Consumerism: In modern society, there is often an emphasis on material possessions and consumerism as markers of a good life.

Individualism and Self-Interest: The pursuit of individual success and self-interest can sometimes override ethical considerations for the well-being of others and the larger c...

Essence of Ethics ?

  The essence of ethics lies in guiding individuals and organizations to make moral choices and conduct themselves in an ethical manner. Ethics encompasses principles, values, and standards that govern behavior and promote actions that are considered right, just, and morally acceptable. Here are a few examples highlighting the essence of ethics: 1. Honesty and Integrity: The ethical principle of honesty emphasizes truthfulness and transparency in interactions. An example would be an employee who refuses to participate in fraudulent practices, even if pressured by colleagues or superiors, because they value integrity and believe in acting honestly. 2. Respect for Others: Ethical behavior involves treating others with dignity, respect, and fairness. For instance, a manager who actively promotes a workplace environment that is inclusive, free from discrimination, and values diversity demonstrates the essence of ethical behavior. 3. Social Responsibility: Ethics extends beyond individu...
