The Centre has informed the Delhi High Court that the Personal Data Protection Bill 2019 contains provisions related to the ‘right to be forgotten’.
Right to be Forgotten
‘Right to be forgotten’ is a fairly new concept in India where an individual could seek to remove or delete online posts which may contain an embarrassing picture, video or news articles mentioning them.
It comes under the right to privacy which has been held to be a fundamental right by the Supreme Court under Article 21.
In 2017, the Right to Privacy was declared a fundamental right by the Supreme Court in its landmark verdict.
Why in news?
The Personal Data Protection Bill 2019 contains provisions related to the doctrine of ‘right to be forgotten’.
It highlighted two judgments passed by the Orissa High Court and the Karnataka High Court where they have accepted the doctrine of the ‘right to be forgotten’ as an essential part of the ‘right to privacy’.
Mention in PDP Bill
The PDP bill aims to set out provisions meant for the protection of the personal data of individuals.
Clause 20 under Chapter V of this bill titled “Rights of Data Principal” mentions the “Right to be Forgotten.”
It states that the “data principal (the person to whom the data is related) shall have the right to restrict or prevent the continuing disclosure of his personal data by a data fiduciary”.
A data fiduciary means any person, including the State, a company, any juristic entity, or any individual who alone or in conjunction with others determines the purpose and means of the processing of personal data.
Implications
Under the Right to be forgotten, users can de-link, limit, delete or correct the disclosure of their personal information held by data fiduciaries.
Other similar provisions
Section 69A of the IT Act does provide for removal of “certain unlawful information” from an intermediary platform.
It primarily applies to ‘national security and public order related issues’ only.
The Cabinet has given its approval to extend its umbrella scheme Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana for irrigation, water supply, groundwater and watershed development projects for another five years till 2026.
PM Krishi Sinchai Yojana
The PMKSY was launched on 1st July, 2015 with the motto of “Har Khet Ko Paani”.
It is being implemented to expand cultivated area with assured irrigation, reduce wastage of water and improve water use efficiency.
The scheme has basically combined three active projects under various ministries which is as follows:
Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Program (Ministry of Water Resources)
Integrated Watershed Management Program (Ministry of Rural Development)
Farm Water Management Project of the National Mission on Sustainable Agriculture
Components of PMKSY
PMKSY seeks to provide a complete solution to farm level irrigation and assured irrigation for every farm
It aims to integrate irrigation with the latest technological practices and cover more cultivable areas under assured irrigation
Increase the implementation of water-saving technologies and precision irrigation which in other words can be said as More Crop Per Drop.
PMKSY also targets the promotion of micro-irrigation in the form of sprinklers, rain-guns, drips, etc.
Advantages of Micro Irrigation
Higher Profits
Water Saving & Water Use Efficiency (WUE)
Less Energy Costs
Higher fertilizer-use efficiency (FUE)
Reduced Labour Costs
Reduce Soli Loss
Marginal Solis & Water
Efficient & Flexible
Improved Crop Quality
Higher Yields
Implementation of PMKSY
Everything from planning and execution of plans is regionalized in PMKSY.
District Irrigation Plans (DIPs) will identify the areas that require improved facilities in irrigation at block levels and district levels.
State Irrigation Plan consolidates all the DIPs and it oversees the agricultural plans developed under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana.
Funding pattern
Funds will be allocated by the centre only if the state has prepared the district irrigation plans and the state irrigation plans.
The state government’s share under PMKSY is 25% and rest is borne by the centre, with an exception for north-eastern states where contribution by the state government is 10%.
A World Trade Organization panel ruled that India violated international trade rules when it offered excessive subsidies for the production and export of sugar and sugarcane.
What did WTO say?
Under WTO rules, India’s sugar subsidies are capped at a de minimis limit of 10% of the value of production.
India’s policies were inconsistent with WTO rules that govern the levels at which nations can subsidize domestic agricultural production.
WTO has asked it to withdraw its prohibited subsidies under the Production Assistance, the Buffer Stock, and the Marketing and Transportation Schemes within 120 days.
What was the complaint against India?
Australia, Brazil, and Guatemala said India’s domestic support and export subsidy measures appeared to be inconsistent with various articles against WTO’s:
Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM)
Article XVI (which concerns subsidies) of the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT)
Domestic Support: All three countries complained that India provides domestic support to sugarcane producers that exceed the de minimis level of 10% of the total value of sugarcane production.
Various subsidies: They also raised the issue of India’s alleged export subsidies, subsidies under the production assistance and buffer stock schemes, and the marketing and transportation scheme.
Notifying support: Australia accused India of “failing” to notify its annual domestic support for sugarcane and sugar subsequent to 1995-96, and its export subsidies since 2009-10.
India’s reply to WTO panel
India rejected the panel’s findings as “erroneous”, “unreasoned”, and “not supported by the WTO rules”.
It argued that the requirements of Article 3 of the SCM Agreement are not yet applicable to India.
It has a phase-out period of 8 years to eliminate export subsidies under the agreement.
India also argued that its mandatory minimum prices are not paid by the governments but by sugar mills, and hence do not constitute market price support.
The Chalcolithic cultures of Central India are adequately investigated and studied informed the Ministry of Culture in particular reference to the sites of Eran and Tewar.
Major sites in Central India
[1] Eran (Dist. Sagar, MP )
Eran (ancient Airikina) is situated on the left bank of the Bina (ancient Venva) river and surrounded by it on three sides.
The recent excavation has unearthed a variety of antiquities including a copper coin, an iron arrowhead, terracotta bead, stone beads along with copper coins, stone celt, beads of steatite and jasper, etc.
The occurrence of few specimens of plain, thin grey ware is noteworthy.
The use of iron was evidenced by few metallic objects at the site.
[2] Tewar (Dist. Jabalpur, MP)
Tewar (Tripuri) village is located 12 km west of Jabalpur district on Jabalpur – Bhopal highway.
This excavation did not reach the natural soil and revealed four folds of cultural sequences i.e. Kushana, Shunga, Satvahana, and Kalachuri.
Antiquarian remains in this excavation include viz remains of sculptures, hopscotch, terracotta balls, Iron nails, copper coins, terracotta beads, implements of Iron and terracotta figurine, ceramics red ware etc.
It also revealed structural remains consist of brick wall and structure of sandstone columns.
Back2Basics: Chalcolithic Culture in India
A completely different kind of culture known as Chalcolithic Culture was developed in central India and Deccan region by the end of the Neolithic period.
It is characterized by the use of both stone and bronze implements.
Major Chalcolithic complexes in India
Ahar culture c. 2,800-1,500 B.C.
Kayatha culture c. 2,450-700 B.C.
Malwa culture c. 1,900-1,400 B.C.
Savalda culture c. 2,300-2,000 B.C.
Jorwe culture c. 1,500 -900 B.C.
Prabhas culture c. 2,000-1,400 B.C.
Rangpur culture c. 1,700-1,400 B.C.
Important features
The people of Chalcolithic culture had used unique painted earthenware usually black-on-red.
The use of copper and bronze tools also evidenced on a limited scale.
The economy was largely based on subsistence agriculture, stock-raising, hunting, and fishing.
They, however, never reached the level of urbanization in spite they were using metal.
They were contemporary of the Harappan culture, but some other were of later Harappan age.
Their locations
The centers of Chalcolithic cultures flourished in semi-arid regions of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra.
The settlements of Kayatha culture were mostly located on the Chambal River and its tributaries.
The settlements of Malwa culture are mostly located on the Narmada and its tributaries.
The three best known settlements of Malwa culture are at Navdatoli, Eran, and Nagada.
Navdatoli was one of the largest Chalcolithic settlements in the country spread in almost 10 hectares.
The settlements of Rangpur culture are located mostly on Ghelo and Kalubhar rivers in Gujarat.
More than 200 settlements of Jorwe culture are known. Greater numbers of these settlements are found in Maharashtra.
The best known settlements of Jorwe culture are Prakash, Daimabad, and Inamgaon. Daimabad was the largest one that measured almost 20 hectares.
Development of Agriculture
They cultivated both Kharif and Rabi crops in rotation and also raised cattle with it.
They cultivated wheat and barley in Malwa region. Rice was cultivated in Inamgaon and Ahar.
They also cultivated jowar, bajra, kulth, ragi, green peas, lentil, and green and black grams.
Largely, the Chalcolithic cultures flourished in the black cotton soil zone.
Trade and Commerce
The Chalcolithic communities traded and exchanged materials with other contemporary communities.
A large settlement serves as the major centers of trade and exchange.
Some of them were Ahar, Gilund, Nagada, Navdatoli, Eran, Prabhas, Rangpur, Prakash, Daimabad, and Inamgaon.
The Ahar people settled close to the copper source and were used to supply copper tools and objects to other contemporary communities in Malwa and Gujarat.
Identical marks embedded on most of the copper axes found in Malwa, Jorwe, and Prabhas cultures that might indicate that it may be the trademarks of the smiths who made them.
It is found that Conch shell for bangles was traded from the Saurashtra coast to various other parts of the Chalcolithic regions.
Gold and ivory come to Jorwe people from Tekkalkotta in Karnataka and semiprecious stones may have been traded to various parts from Rajpipla in Gujarat.
Wheeled bullock carts were used for long distance trade, besides the river transport. The drawings of wheeled bullock carts have been found on pots.
Try this PYQ from CSP 2019. It is dicey, but you cannot escape such questions.
Q. Which one of the following is not a Harappan site?
(a) Chanhudaro
(b) Kot Diji
(c) Sohgaura
(d) Desalpur

The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992, promulgated on 24 April 1993, has been inserted as Part IX in the Constitution that enjoins the States to establish Panchayats.
It lays down that “the State shall take steps to organise village Panchayats and endow them with such powers and authority as may be necessary to enable them to function as units of self-government.”
Need for financial devolution:
To strengthen democracy at grass root level with more revenue resources for better service delivery.
To increase accountability to people so performance can be realized as direct contact with people.
Various Constitutional Provisions
Collection of Taxes: States have been provided the powers to authorise the PRIs to levy, collect, and appropriate certain taxes, duties, tolls, fees, etc.
Share of revenues: They can also assign to them the revenues of certain State-level taxes, subject to such conditions as are imposed by the State Government.
Grant-in-aid: The PRIs may also be provided with grant-in-aid.
State Finance Commission for review: In support of these requirements, Article 243-I of the Constitution mandates setting up of the State Finance Commission (SFC) every five years.
Central provisions: Under the Article 280(3) (bb) of the Constitution, Central Finance Commissions are required to make recommendations to augment the Consolidated Fund of the State to supplement the resources of the Panchayats in the State.
Central Finance Commission Recommendations
Recommendations for devolution to the Rural Local Bodies (RLBs) began from the Tenth Finance Commission onwards (period 1995-2000).
Up to the Twelfth Finance Commission (period 2005-10), nominal amounts of devolution were made to the RLBs on a lump sum basis.
Thirteenth Finance Commission (XIII FC) made a radical departure by awarding a percentage of the divisible pool.
Fourteenth Finance Commission (XIV FC)
It has recommended an amount of Rs 200292.20 crore to the GPs in the country.
This amount was divided in Basic Grant (Rs. 180262.98 crores) and Performance Grant (Rs. 20029.22 crore).
It adopted a trust-based approach and recommended that the devolutions be made directly to the GPs without any share at the levels of other tiers.
Fifteenth Finance Commission (XV FC)
It recommended devolution to all tiers of the Panchayati Raj including the Traditional Bodies of Non-Part IX States and Fifth and Sixth Schedule Areas.
XV FC grants are provided in two parts, namely-
Basic (Untied) Grant: For general purposes
Tied Grant: 30% of the total grants be utilised for drinking water, rainwater harvesting, and water recycling
Own Sources of Revenues (OSRs) of RLB
The three tiers of the Panchayats have been provided with own revenue generating powers.
However, the GPs in general are empowered to levy the most number of taxes and non-taxes within their jurisdiction.
Property tax, cess on land revenue, surcharge on additional stamp duty, tolls, tax on professions, tax on advertisements, non-motor vehicle tax, user charges, etc. contribute the maximum to the OSR.
Issues
OSR amounts manage to meet only around 10 per cent of the total expenditure of the panchayats.
In most States, the property tax generates the maximum revenue. However, this tax remains inelastic and adds to the inefficient ways of its administration.
A few progressive States like Karnataka have reformed the tax structure and are using the unit area method in determining the tax base.
Hurdles in Financial Devolution
Political will: Reluctance of Politicians and bureaucrats to relinquish power to local bodies remain major hurdle.
Lack of resources: Issues like lack of expertise to plan development priorities and use resources optimally, lack of resources to implement development agenda with minimal avenues for taxation and income.
Lack of institutional mechanism: Non-uniformity of various programmes at local level can make regulatory oversight difficult.
Way Forward
Updating of PRI Acts/Financial Rules and making them available to change in tax and non-tax levy, rate structure etc.
Better assessment of properties required for levying Property Tax (classified plinth area-based valuation seems to be the most scientific)
Relook on various exemptions to rationalise the taxes/levies
Augmentation of Tax Administration Structure
Technology-based Tax Administration may also be further expanded to cover even utility charges like water, street lights, sanitation charges, etc.
The essential challenge of public policy for agriculture- the high price of food remains unsolved.
Implications of high food prices
Increases poverty: A higher price of food increases poverty, especially as the rice and wheat supplied through the PDS constitute only a part of the total expenditure on food of the average Indian household.
Reduces the expenditure on other item: For the household, a high price of food crowds out expenditure on other items ranging from health and education to non-agricultural goods.
This prevents the market for non-agricultural goods from expanding.
This was one of the first discoveries in economics, made by the English economist David Ricardo about two centuries ago.
Rising food prices in India
An indication of the elevation of the price of food in an economy is the share of food in a household’s budget.
In a global comparison we would find that this share is very large for India.
Data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (2016) show that this share ranges from over 30% for India to less than 10% for the U.S. and the U.K.
This is in line with Ricardo’s understanding of how economies progress i.e., as food gets cheaper, growth in the non-agricultural economy is stimulated.
Agricultural policy in India has remained quite unaccountable in the face of a rising relative price of food.
Impact on manufacturing sector: Arguably, the high price of food has been a factor in the disappointing lack of expansion of the manufacturing sector in India despite repeated efforts to bring it about.
Changes needed in agricultural policy
Both from the point of view of food security for low-income households and the dynamism of the non-agricultural sector, agricultural policy cannot ignore the price at which food is produced.
Focus on improving the yield: The fact of low agricultural yield in India by comparison with the rest of the world has been known for long, and little is done about it.
Management of soil nutrients and moisture: A superior management of soil nutrients and moisture, assured water supply and knowledge inputs made available via an extension service would be crucial.
Raising yields will ensure profitability without raising producer prices, which will inflate the food subsidy bill.
How government intervention created problems
Given the importance of food for our survival, this justifies public intervention in agriculture.
The issue is the design and scale of this intervention.
In the mid-sixties, when India was facing food shortage that could not be solved through trade, a concerted effort was made to raise domestic agricultural production.
Profitability through MSP: It introduced the strategy of ensuring farm profitability though favourable prices assured by the state.
Further, it entrenched the belief that it is the farmer’s right to have the state purchase as much grain as the farmer wishes to sell to the state agency.
Created grain stockpile: This has resulted in grain stockpiles far greater than the officially announced buffer-stocking norm.
These stocks have often rotted, resulting in deadweight loss, paid for by the public though taxes or public borrowing.
Supply more than demand: Finally, with all costs of production reimbursable and all of output finding an assured outlet, supply has outstripped demand.
Damage to natural environment: This has led to unimaginable pressure on the natural environment, especially water supply.
Consider the question “India faces the challenge of high food prices. Examine the ways in which high food prices affects the overall economy. How far is the India’s agriculture policy responsible for the problem?”
Conclusion
India needs an agricultural policy that ensures that farming is profitable but this cannot be at the cost of a high price of food. The ‘food problem’ should no longer be seen only in terms of the availability of food from domestic sources.
“When I decided to prepare for UPSC-CSE, I knew I was not in a position to quit my private job. The work load was high at my present company, I was left with doubt if I could clear UPSC-CSE or not. That’s when I decided I needed a highly experienced personal mentor who will not only provide me study materials or evaluate test-series and mock interviews, but also won’t hesitate to motivate me whenever I felt uneasy or anxious. I found that in Civilsdaily mentor, Pravin sir. He was my go to mentor for Mains and Interview. I always made it a point to visit him weekly once and vent my feelings to him. After speaking to him, the clouds of negativity drifted away. I became confident to complete my studies for the day. It took me 3 attempts to fulfill not only my dream but my family’s dream.”
Harvinder Singh’s life was filled with many hardships. Not because of UPSC-CSE preparation, but due to the unpredictable turn of events. When he was a three year old kid, his hand accidently fell into a pan of boiling hot oil in the kitchen. Due to this, three of his fingers have been severely impaired. As a 12th standard student, Harvinder studiously prepared for both AIEEE and NDA exams. Though he successfully, cleared the former exam, he failed the medical round of NDA (due to his fingers). Dejected that he missed an opportunity to serve the nation, Harvinder thought he cannot overlook supporting his family. His dad worked both as a farmer and truck driver to make ends meet. However, as a graduate in J&K, he found it extremely difficult to find a job.
In 2013, he started his work as an engineer for a private company in Allahabad. Well settled, Harvinder thought of fulfilling his dream of serving the nation. If he couldn’t do it through Army, he could through civil services. After failing the prelims in first attempt, mains in second attempt, he finally cleared the exams in his third attempt to be an IAS officer. “I feared that in my third attempt, I will fail the personality round”, Harvinder jokes. Despite back to back failures, Harvinder always looked forward to his next attempt like it was his final attempt.
