75 Days Mains Revision Plan 2024 – Environment + Disaster Management
Topic: Environment: River Water Pollution
Topic: Environment: River Water Pollution
Q1. Critically examine the effectiveness of measures addressing river water pollution in India. (10M)
Difficulty Level: Moderate
Key Demand of the Question: To analyze the effectiveness of the existing measures for controlling river water pollution in India, while highlighting both their successes and limitations. Structure of the Answer: Introduction: Rivers are vital lifelines supporting India’s growing population, but pollution levels have risen drastically, affecting public health and ecosystems. Addressing this issue is crucial for sustainable development. Body: Measures to Address River Water Pollution: Regulation of Industrial Pollution National Water Mission (2010) National Water Policy (2012) National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) Monitoring Efforts Challenges in Implementation: Enforcement Issues Technological Shortcomings Overemphasis on Major Rivers Conclusion: India’s efforts to reduce river water pollution have seen progress but face challenges in enforcement, technology adoption, and resource allocation. A focused, multi-pronged strategy involving stricter regulation, monitoring, and community participation is essential for sustainable river health.

Topic: Disaster Management: Vulnerability and Disasters
Topic: Disaster Management: Vulnerability and Disasters
Q2. In your view, what role does vulnerability play in the transition from a natural hazard to a natural disaster? How can understanding this dynamic aid in effective disaster management? Discuss. (15M)
Difficulty Level: Moderate
Key Demand of the Question: To explain the role of vulnerability in turning natural hazards into disasters and discuss how this understanding can enhance disaster management strategies. Structure of the Answer: Introduction: Vulnerability refers to the social, economic, and environmental factors that increase the susceptibility of communities to the impacts of natural hazards. It is a key determinant in transforming hazards into disasters. Body: Role of Vulnerability in Disaster Transition: Social Vulnerability Physical Vulnerability Ecosystem Health Marginalization Understanding Vulnerability for Effective Disaster Management: Proactive Mitigation Guiding Priorities Monitoring Vulnerability Equity in Rebuilding Conclusion: Addressing vulnerability is central to disaster resilience. A better understanding of vulnerability dynamics allows for more targeted, inclusive, and proactive disaster management, ultimately reducing the impact of natural hazards on vulnerable populations.
