(Loans before this date under these sectors are not eligible.) Rationale behind relaxing norms for CRR  The primary aim is to revitalise the flow of bank credit to productive sectors having multiplier effects to support overall growth impulses in the economy.  In the light of prevalent liquidity crunch it is being seen as an additional liquidity measure and also to nudge banks to lend more to the needy segments.  Apart from above the RBI expects that the special window will reinforce monetary transmission strengthen regulation and supervision broaden and deepen financial markets and also improve payment and settlement systems. Rationale for External Benchmark for MSME loans  RBI has not been satisfied with the way monetary transmission works as financial institutions tend to not pass on the benefit to the consumer.  The current paradigm for determination of interest loans is based on Marginal Cost of Lending Rate (MCLR) which is determined by the respective bank.  RBI aims to directly link the interest on loans with an external benchmark so that any change can be directly transmitted to the consumer competition success review annual subscription buy.

This is because the communities recognised as Other Backward Classes (OBC) by State governments may or may not be classified as OBCs by the Central government. o While AIJS has been pitched as a solution to lack of representation for the marginalised on the Bench many States are already reserving posts for marginalised communities and women. o A national exam risks shutting out those from less privileged backgrounds from being able to enter the judicial services.  Local laws It may end up not taking into account local laws practices and customs which vary widely across States vastly increasing the costs of training for judges selected through the mechanism. Way Forward  There is need to ensure that service is insulated from the influence of both the Central Government and State Government right from the process of appointment to the process of removal. o 116th report of the Law Commission recommends that appointments postings and promotions to the AIJS be made by a proposed National Judicial Service Commission consisting of retired and sitting judges of the Supreme Courts members of the bar and legal academics Junior Science Refresher buy.

Fulfilling basic human needs: such as Water for Drinking and Industrial use, irrigation for agricultural operations, flood control, hydro power generation, inland navigation etc. National water security: It is also important in the emerging scenarios of Indias water crisis, linked with its growing population as well as climate change. Addressing inter-state conflicts: According to the Act, if the dams of one State fall under the territories of another, then NDSA will perform the role of SDSO, thus eliminating potential causes for inter-State conflicts. Uniform mechanism: Act provides for an institutional mechanism at both Central and State levels to address structural and non-structural measures required for ensuring the safe functioning of dams. Enforcing safety protocols: There are many protocols, including pre and post-monsoon inspections, for ensuring dam safety. However, as of now these protocols are not legally mandated, and the agencies concerned have no powers to enforce them. Conclusion Safety of dam is a matter of great concern to the nation. An unsafe dam constitutes a hazard to human life, flora and fauna, ecology and public and private assets. Therefore, it is necessary to enact a law to provide for proper surveillance, inspection, operation and maintenance of dams of certain parameters in India to ensure their safe functioning. However, given the sentiments expressed by a number of states, the Centre can hold talks with the States to allay their fears and frame rules suitably for legislation junior science refresher buy.

It restricts a legislator from voting in line with his conscience judgement and interests of his electorate.

They benefit from defections and are often accused of enticing legislators of rival parties to switch loyalties.Problem with merger provision It safeguards the members of a political party where the original party merges with another party subject to the condition that at least twothird of the members have agreed to such merger. o The exception is based on the number of members rather than the reason behind the defection.  Power to the presiding officer The presiding officer has been given wide and absolute powers to decide the case related to disqualification of the members on the grounds of defection.
