Option 1 : National Parks

The Correct Answer is National Parks.

  • National Park is a protected area reserved for the protection of only animals, where no human intervention is allowed in any form of timber harvesting, the collection of minor forest products and private property rights; whereas a wildlife sanctuary is a protected area reserved for the conservation of only animals and human activities such as timber harvesting, the collection of minor forestry.
  • eg. Recently Dehing Patkai wildlife sanctuary is upgraded to a National Park so that more restriction comes and the coal mining activities gets stop.While a limited number of human activities are allowed in wildlife sanctuaries, national parks are strictly off-limits.
  • The Protected Areas (PAs) in India, consisting of national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and conservation and community reserves, cover about 4.89% of the geographical area of the country as of July 2016.
  • There are currently a maximum number of national parks on the Madhya Pradesh and Andaman and Nicobar Islands (nine each), followed by Kerala, Maharashtra and Uttarakhand and West Bengal (six each).
  • The Andaman and Nicobar Islands have the highest number of wildlife sanctuaries (96), followed by Maharashtra (41) and Tamil Nadu (29). Areas of great geological, floral, faunal or natural importance are national parks and sanctuaries.
  • Under the provisions of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 & its amendments, the Indian Forest Act of 1927, the Forest (Protection) Act of 1980, the Biological Diversity Act, 2002 and the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006, they are notified by the State Governments and protected by the Forest Departments.
  • In protected areas, hunting of wild animals, habitat invasion and/or degradation, construction of tourist lodges and other such practises are prohibited.

A wildlife sanctuary can be upgraded to a National Park but a National Park can not be downgraded to Wildlife Sanctuary.

Statement: Automatic teller machines (ATMs) remain a mainstay of India’s financial inclusion drive and need the central bank’s support to stay relevant amid the government’s push for digital payments. Digital payments haven’t kept pace with the requirement for financial services in far-flung areas and a lack of ATMs there could prove disastrous for the economy.Which among the following arguments support the above statement in the best possible manner Arguments: I. There is still strong demand for cash and if banks do not invest in the ATM infrastructure, especially in rural areas, people might opt to hoard cash instead. II. To maintain a balance between the two modes of payment, there is a need to open up regulatory sandboxes for ATMs to allow manufacturers to collaborate with financial-technology startups. III. Demonetisation pulled out over 85% of the cash in circulation, forcing people to embrace digital payments. Since then, cash in circulation has reverted to its pre-demonetisation days but digital payments have come to stay. ?
