    The primary objective of the First Amendment Act, 1951, in India was to curtail certain fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution.

    It aimed to amend Article 19 to impose restrictions on freedom of speech and expression, freedom to assemble peacefully, and freedom to form associations or unions.

    These amendments were primarily driven by concerns over national security and public order in the aftermath of Partition and the challenges of nation-building.

     

    Key provisions of the First Amendment Act, 1951, included:

     

    1. Imposition of Reasonable Restrictions: It added clauses to Article 19 that allowed the state to impose “reasonable restrictions” on freedom of speech and expression, freedom to assemble peacefully, and freedom to form associations or unions in the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India.

    2. Land Reform Laws: The Act inserted Article 31A and Article 31B to validate land reform laws that sought to abolish intermediaries and redistribute land to the tillers.

    3. Validation of Certain Acts: It validated certain laws that had been challenged on grounds of infringing fundamental rights, thereby securing legal backing for legislative measures deemed essential for governance and societal stability.

    Renewable energies are those energies which do not vanish when used and continuously get replenished like Solar energy, Wind energy, geothermal and Tidal energy.

    Indian Geography, lying in tropical and subtropical regions surrounded by sea from three sides is blessed with plenty of resources.

    • Solar energy: — Annually Indian cities get an average of 2300 hours of sunshine with max in Gujarat and Rajasthan having around 3000 hours of sunshine.
    • Hydroelectric energy: — India has many perennial and rainfed rivers which power hydroelectric power plants.
    • Wind energy: — India ranks 4th in installed wind power capacity. With a vast expanse, India’s geography supports the harnessing of wind energy. Most wind farms are located onshore in the southern and western parts of India.
    • Tidal energy: – India has a high potential for harnessing tidal energy, the Gulf of Cambay in Gujarat and the Gangetic Delta in the Bay of Bengal are tidal ranges with strong tides.
    • Geothermal Energy: — Most of the geothermal energy sources in India are in the Himalayan ranges like Tapovan in Uttarakhand and Puga Valley in Ladakh.

    India faces several major cyber threats today, including ransomware attacks, which have increasingly targeted critical infrastructure and businesses, demanding substantial ransoms and disrupting operations. Phishing scams are rampant, deceiving individuals and organizations into revealing sensitive information or credentials. Cyber espionage, particularly from state-sponsored actors, poses a threat to national security by targeting governmental and defense systems. Data breaches and leaks are common, often resulting in the exposure of personal and financial information of millions of users. Additionally, there is a rise in cyberattacks on financial institutions, including online banking fraud and payment system breaches. The proliferation of malware, including sophisticated spyware and viruses, also presents a significant risk to both individuals and enterprises. As India continues to advance technologically, these cyber threats underscore the need for robust cybersecurity measures and awareness to protect sensitive data and critical infrastructure.

    According to UNESCO, India’s girls’ education saw significant progress- enrollment rates rose from 48% (2007) to 74% (2019), dropout rates declined from 53.9% (2009) to 17.3% (2019) and gender parity index improved from 0.85 (2012) to 0.94 (2019).Promoting girls’ education in India faces both challenges and opportunities.

    Challenges – 

    1. Social and cultural barriers including patriarchal norms, early marriages and gender bias, restrict girls access to education and empowerment.
    2. Poverty and economic constraints force families to prioritize boys education, sacrificing girls schooling due to limited financial resources.
    3. Rural and remote areas lack nearby schools, adequate infrastructure and resources, hindering girls access to quality education and opportunities.
    4. Harassment, violence and abduction risks en route to or within schools deter girls education, fueling dropout rates and anxiety.
    5. Limited female teachers and role models discourage girls, perpetuating gender stereotypes and diminishing aspirations, self identity and educational motivation significantly.
    6. Gender biased curriculum and teaching materials perpetuate harmful stereotypes, limiting girls potential, reinforcing patriarchal norms and undermining self esteem and empowerment.

     

    Initiatives – 

    1. Government initiatives like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, SSA and RTE Act boost girls education accessibility nationwide.
    2. Rising enrollment rates (74% in 2019) demonstrate progress, paving way for future generations empowerment and growth.
    3. Digital education bridges accessibility gaps, offering girls online resources, e learning platforms and skill building opportunities nationwide.
    4. Community engagement and awareness campaigns mobilize support, challenging norms and fostering inclusive education environments.
    5. Scholarships, stipends and incentives motivate girls offsetting costs and encouraging continued education participation and success.
    6. Empowered women leaders serve as inspirational role models, mentoring and advocating for girls education rights.
