Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWith reference to the Assistance in Deploying Energy Efficient Technologies in Industries & Establishments (ADEETIE) Scheme, consider the following statements:
- It provides interest subvention only for large-scale industries that demonstrate over 15% energy savings.
- Investment Grade Energy Audits (IGEA) and Monitoring & Verification (M&V) are components of the scheme.
- Only projects demonstrating a minimum energy saving of 10% are eligible.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is incorrect: The ADEETIE scheme is specifically targeted at Udyam-registered Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) — not large industries. The scheme does not require a 15% saving, but rather a minimum of 10% energy saving potential.
- Statement 2 is correct: The scheme supports industries by offering Investment Grade Energy Audits (IGEA), Detailed Project Reports (DPRs), and post-implementation Monitoring & Verification (M&V) to ensure the sustained effectiveness of energy-efficient technologies.
- Statement 3 is correct: Eligibility under ADEETIE mandates that a project must demonstrate at least 10% energy savings to qualify for support.
The scheme is India’s first of its kind to promote energy-efficient technologies in MSMEs to boost competitiveness, generate employment, and achieve climate targets. It also provides interest subvention at 5% for Micro & Small Enterprises and 3% for Medium Enterprises.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
Statement I: Deserts and grasslands provide critical ecosystem services and support unique biodiversity.
Statement II: These ecosystems are often misclassified as ‘wastelands’ in official land-use records.
Statement III: Restoration policies usually prioritize native grassland species over afforestation efforts.Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer: (d)
Explanation:
- Statement I is correct: Deserts and open ecosystems support species like the Great Indian Bustard and offer carbon storage, cultural value, and climate resilience.
- Statement II is correct: These lands are wrongly labeled as “wastelands”, leading to conversion or afforestation, despite their ecological value — thus explaining Statement I.
- Statement III is incorrect: In reality, restoration often favors tree planting, not native grasses or shrubs, thereby undermining ecosystem balance.
Hence, only Statement II is correct and explains Statement I.
Incorrect
Answer: (d)
Explanation:
- Statement I is correct: Deserts and open ecosystems support species like the Great Indian Bustard and offer carbon storage, cultural value, and climate resilience.
- Statement II is correct: These lands are wrongly labeled as “wastelands”, leading to conversion or afforestation, despite their ecological value — thus explaining Statement I.
- Statement III is incorrect: In reality, restoration often favors tree planting, not native grasses or shrubs, thereby undermining ecosystem balance.
Hence, only Statement II is correct and explains Statement I.

5. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Finn’s Weaver, consider the following statements:
- It is endemic to the Kaziranga National Park.
- It is known for building intricate nests on trees.
- It is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is incorrect: Finn’s Weaver (Ploceusmegarhynchus) is not endemic to Kaziranga. While it was recently spotted there during a bird diversity survey, its natural habitat lies in the Terai grasslands of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, particularly around Hastinapur and Nainital.
- Statement 2 is correct: Finn’s Weaver is renowned for being a “master nest-builder.” The species constructs intricately woven nests atop trees, usually over water bodies. These nests are basket-like with side entrances, showcasing complex design behavior.
Statement 3 is correct: The species is listed as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List due to habitat degradation, primarily because of agricultural expansion, grazing pressure, and lack of grassland conservation in the Terai belt.
