Q5339. Which industrial sectors are identified as the primary off-takers for initial Green Hydrogen adoption in India to replace fossil fuels?
Explanation
For the initial adoption of green hydrogen in India, the government has identified fertilizer production and petroleum refining as the primary off-taker sectors.

Replacing this with green hydrogen will lead to a significant reduction in industrial carbon emissions and help create a stable market for the emerging green hydrogen economy.
Q5340. The following question consists of two statements, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Choose the correct option:
Assertion (A): The integration of the Rajputana states was largely termed a "bloodless revolution."
Reason (R): Unlike Hyderabad or Junagadh, the central government did not have to resort to direct military action to integrate any state in Rajasthan.
Assertion (A): The integration of the Rajputana states was largely termed a "bloodless revolution."
Reason (R): Unlike Hyderabad or Junagadh, the central government did not have to resort to direct military action to integrate any state in Rajasthan.

The unification of Rajasthan is described as a "bloodless revolution" because it was achieved through diplomatic negotiations rather than armed conflict. Unlike other regions like Hyderabad, where military action was necessary, the Rajputana states merged into the Indian Union peacefully. The cooperation of the rulers and the pressure of popular movements allowed for a smooth transition from monarchy to democracy.Answer key for these questions
