    In blue revolution section…
    the inland fisheries account for 56% while marine fisheries account for 34%.
    Sir, can you please clarify as it is not matching 100%?

    Sir,

    For the 7th question, do we need to write the challenges faced by fisheries sector also ? Please clarify.

      Hello Himanshu, we need to compare the growth factors of both and then outline why the inland outperformed marine. No need to seperately discuss challenges.

      Hello Sarvesh, 2014 Mock Archive should be given first priority because that is essence of entire Prelims syllabus. I believe that if one can solve every mock question of that series without any help; prelims can not be a challenge.

    Sir, the second question in GS Paper 3 this year asks to discuss about livestock sector’s potential to generate non-farm employment and rural income and also shed light on measures that are needed to improve prospects for this sector(“Q. Livestock rearing has a big potential for providing non- farm employment and income in rural areas. Discuss suggesting suitable measures to promote this sector in India.”)The document above has good points to cover first part of the answer, like the agricultural sector is undergoing structural changes with livestock contributing more economically than, say, crops in the agricultural allied sector. That other than the traditional role of rearing animals for their ‘drought power’, rearing animals now-a-days has a significant utilitarian value that comes from their products and by-products like eggs, meat, milk, skin, hides, etc., selling which in turn leads to income-generating self-employment opportunities for small farmers, landless laborers, women, etc.

    Could you please tell some points for what could be done to improve this sector?

    Thanks and regards,

    Jay

      Hello Jay,
      The answer begins with structural shift in agriculture sector due to Livestock rearing. Then discusses the point which we have discussed in this module like draught power importance replaced with dairy, poultry, meat and other animal products.
      Second part of the answer needs to emphasize on increasing livestock productivity and suitable livestock rearing while protecting the environment, preserving animal bio-diversity, ensuring bio-security and farmer livelihood.
      Further, there is a need of better inter-state coordination in control of animal diseases of which many are zoonotic. Regulating international trade of livestock and livestock products, enhancing availability of food & fodder and conservation / improvement of indigenous breeds. The answer could conclude with focus on promotion of food processing sector to enhance the reach of dairy, poultry and meat products.
