Explanation
In Rajasthan, the agriculture and allied sector contributes significantly to the Gross State Value Added. At constant prices, this contribution typically ranges between twenty-eight and thirty percent annually. This sector includes crops, livestock, forestry, and fishing, with livestock being a major component. Such figures highlight the state’s heavy economic dependence on primary production despite arid climatic challenges.

Q9107. Which of the following is not a primary characteristic of the agricultural economy of Rajasthan?
Explanation
Rajasthan’s agriculture is characterized by harsh climatic conditions, leading to crop yields that are generally lower than the national average. Key features include a high reliance on erratic monsoon rainfall and a predominance of small and marginal landholdings. Additionally, the livestock sector plays a vital role in providing stable income to farmers across the diverse agro-climatic zones.
Q9108. Consider the following statements regarding Mahatma Gandhi’s early settlements in South Africa:
I. The Phoenix Settlement was established in 1904 near Durban.
II. The Tolstoy Farm was established with the financial assistance of his friend Hermann Kallenbach.
III. Both settlements served as training grounds to prepare volunteers for peaceful Satyagraha.
Which of the above statements are correct?
I. The Phoenix Settlement was established in 1904 near Durban.
II. The Tolstoy Farm was established with the financial assistance of his friend Hermann Kallenbach.
III. Both settlements served as training grounds to prepare volunteers for peaceful Satyagraha.
Which of the above statements are correct?
Explanation
Phoenix Settlement and Tolstoy Farm were crucial foundations for Gandhi’s social experiments in South Africa. Phoenix was established near Durban in 1904, while Tolstoy Farm was created in 1910 with Hermann Kallenbach’s support. Both served as laboratories for communal living and rigorous training centers for Satyagrahis, preparing them for the physical and mental discipline required during the struggle against racial laws.
Q9109. What is the primary economic effect of delayed or deficient monsoons on Rajasthan’s agriculture?
Explanation
Delayed or deficient monsoons in Rajasthan lead to significant instability in the agricultural economy. This deficiency results in severe fluctuations in the Gross State Value Added and adversely impacts rural employment opportunities. Since a large portion of the population depends on rainfed farming, water scarcity directly correlates with reduced crop production and increased economic vulnerability in rural districts.
Q9110. Upon his permanent return to India in January 1915, who among the following advised Mahatma Gandhi to spend a year touring the country to understand its political and social realities before actively joining politics?
Explanation
Gopal Krishna Gokhale, whom Gandhi regarded as his political mentor, advised him to observe Indian conditions for a year before taking any political stance. Gandhi followed this by touring the country to understand the diverse social and political landscape. This sabbatical allowed him to connect with the masses and refine his strategies for future national movements against British colonial rule.Answer key for these questions
