The region\, dominated by the Thar Desert\,\nis characterized by frequent droughts\, extreme temperatures\, and water\nscarcity. Unlike fertile or humid zones\, its agricultural productivity is\nlimited. The classification aimed to focus on special regional planning\nmeasures like irrigation\, desert afforestation\, and drought mitigation for\nsustainable development. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n After Independence\, at which level the first attempt for planning of rural development was made on? \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n Block Level\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Panchayati level\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Tehsil level\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n District level\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n After India’s independence\, the first attempt to plan for rural development \nwas made at the panchayati level. The idea was to involve local\ncommunities in decision-making\, ensuring that development projects were\nsuited to local needs. The Panchayati Raj system allowed villagers to\nparticipate directly in governance\, focusing on agriculture\, sanitation\,\nhousing\, and education. Unlike district or block-level planning\, panchayati-\nlevel planning emphasized grassroots participation\, making development\nmore inclusive and effective. This bottom-up approach formed the basis\nfor democratic decentralization in India. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The ratio of town area to agricultural land area as suggested by Sir Ebenezer Howard in "Garden City concept is \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n 1:10\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 1:20\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 1:5\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 1:5\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sir Ebenezer Howard\, in his Garden City concept\, proposed a ratio of 1\npart town area to 5 parts agricultural land. The idea was to create a\nbalance between urban and rural life\, preventing overcrowding in cities\nwhile ensuring sustainable food supply and open green spaces. The urban\narea was planned with housing\, industry\, and public services\, while\nsurrounding agricultural belts provided food\, employment\, and natural\nbalance. This ratio embodied Howard’s vision of self-sufficient\, eco-\nfriendly\, and socially balanced urban settlements\, reducing reliance on\novercrowded industrial cities. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The major objectives behind the identification of five counter magnet cities outside the National Capital Region was\n(i) to further strengthen policies for decentralization of economic activities\nwithin and outside the NCR \n(ii) to further strengthen policies for decentralization of population within\nand outside the NCR.\n(iii) to further strengthen the infrastructure facilities within and outside the\nNCR\n(iv) to further strengthen health and medical care services within and outside the NCR \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n i and iii\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n i and ii\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n i\, ii and iv\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n i\, iii and iv\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The main objective behind identifying five counter magnet cities outside\nthe National Capital Region (NCR) was to decentralize population and\neconomic activities from Delhi. Delhi was facing immense pressure due to\noverpopulation\, industrial concentration\, and rising migration. By\ndeveloping counter magnets like Gwalior\, Patiala\, Kanpur\, and Bareilly\, the\ngovernment intended to redirect growth away from Delhi. This policy\naimed at reducing congestion\, promoting balanced regional development\,\nand creating employment opportunities outside NCR. Infrastructure and\nhealth facilities were secondary objectives\, not primary. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ‘Sight distance' is considered in design of \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n road intersection\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n fenestration\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n open kitchen\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n auditorium\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n In transport engineering\, sight distance refers to the length of roadway\nvisible to a driver\, which is essential for safe driving. It ensures that a\nvehicle can stop\, overtake\, or maneuver safely without collision. While\ndesigning road intersections\, adequate sight distance is crucial because\nmultiple vehicles approach from different directions. Poor sight distance\nincreases accident risks. By considering sight distance in intersection\ndesign\, planners ensure safety\, smooth traffic flow\, and reduced accident\nchances. It is not applied to kitchens or auditoriums. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Congratulations! You’ve completed the test.
