Question 1

The Indian Ministry of Agriculture has decided that despite good stocks of wheat and rice, India will not export the excess stocks. Which of the following may be the reason(s) owing to which the ministry has taken this decision?
(A) Indian wheat and rice are not in much demand in foreign countries. Hence, very few are takers for the same.
(B) The National Food Security Bill has a provision to provide 25kg of wheat or rice to the families living below poverty line. A huge stock of grains will be needed for the same in near future.

Question 10

GST is hugely positive over the medium term, but is painful in the short run.
