Mahakal Lok corridor?

A

Recently, the Prime Minister inaugurated the first phase of the ‘Shri Mahakal Lok’ corridor in Ujjain, MP

After Vishwanath temple in Varanasi and the Kedarnath shrine in Uttarakhand, Mahakal temple is the third ‘jyotirlinga’ site to see a major upliftment exercise.

The Rs 800-crore Mahakal corridor is four times the size of the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor.

Mahakal Maharaj Mandir Parisar Vistar Yojna is a plan for the expansion, beautification, and decongestion of the Mahakaleshwar temple and its adjoining area in Ujjain district.
Under the plan, the Mahakaleshwar temple premises of around 2.82 hectares is being increased to 47 hectares, which will be developed in two phases by the Ujjain district administration.
This will include the 17 hectares of Rudrasagar lake.

One of the aspects of the Vistar Yojna’s first phase is a visitor plaza with two entrances or Dwaars i.e., the Nandi Dwaar and the Pinaki Dwaar.

A 900-metre pedestrian corridor has been constructed, connecting the plaza to the Mahakal temple, dotted with 108 murals and 93 statues depicting stories related to Lord Shiva, such as Shiv Vivah, Tripurasur Vadh, Shiv Puran, and Shiv Tandav Swaroop.

Significance of Shri Mahakal Lok Corridor?

The temple is believed to be governed by Mahakaleshwar, which means the ‘Lord of time’ i.e., Lord Shiva. As per Hindu mythology, the temple was constructed by Lord Brahma and is presently located alongside the holy river Kshipra.

Only Jyotirlinga Facing South: Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga in Ujjain is one of the 12 jyotirlingas considered the most sacred abodes of Shiva. The shrine is revered as one the 18 Maha Shaktia Peeth in India.

It is the only jyotirlinga facing the south, while all the others face east. This is because the direction of death is believed to be the south.
In fact, people worship Mahakaleshwar to prevent an untimely death.

According to the Puranas, Lord Shiva pierced the world as an endless pillar of light, called the jyotirlinga.
Besides Mahakal, these include Somnath and Nageshwar in Gujarat, Mallikarjuna in Andhra Pradesh, Omkareshwar in Madhya Pradesh, Kedarnath in Uttarakhand, Bhimashankar, Triyambakeshwar and Grishneshwar in Maharashtra, Viswanath at Varanasi, Baidyanath in Jharkhand, and Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu.

Mention in Ancient Texts: The Mahakal temple finds a mention in several ancient Indian poetic texts. In the early part of the Meghadutam (Purva Megha) composed in the 4th century, Kalidasa gives a description of the Mahakal temple.

During the medieval period, Islamic rulers used to give donations to priests for offering prayers here.
In the 13th century, the temple complex was destroyed by Turk ruler Shams-ud-din Iltutmish during his raid on Ujjain.

The present-day five-storeyed structure was built by the Maratha general Ranoji Shinde in 1734, in the Bhumija, Chalukya and Maratha styles of temple architecture.

According to an inscription dated to 1323 AD, the temple was built by the Kachchhapaghata king Devapala (reigned 1055 – 1075).

It is said that the temple was the venue of providing education in astrology and mathematics based on the transit of the Sun.

The Chausath Yogini Temple is also known as Ekattarso Mahadeva Temple. Standing atop an isolated hill of about a hundred feet high, this circular temple commands a splendid view of the cultivated fields below and is one among the very few such temples in India.

This temple is so named because of the presence of a multitude of shiva lingas inside its cells.
This is a yogini temple dedicated to sixty-four yoginis.

It is externally circular in shape with a radius of 170 feet and within its interior part it has 64 small chambers. Within the main central shrine there are slab coverings which have perforations in them to drain rainwater to a large underground storage. The pipe lines from the roof leading the rain water to the storage are also visible.

Many of the curious visitors have compared this temple with the Indian Parliament building (Sansad Bhawan) as both are circular in style. Many have drawn conclusions that this temple was the inspiration behind the Sansad Bhawan. Hence, statement 4 is correct.

Q

Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) 2022: global findings?

A

1.2 billion people are multidimensionally poor.

Nearly half of them live in severe poverty.

Half of poor people (593 million) are children under age 18

The number of poor people is highest in Sub Saharan Africa (579 million), followed by South Asia (385 million). The two regions together are home to 83% of poor people.

The data do not, however, reflect post-pandemic changes.
According to the report the Covid-19 pandemic could set back the progress made in poverty reduction globally by 3-
10 years.

The most recent data on food security from the World Food Programme suggest that the number of people living in food crises or worse increased to 193 million in 2021.

486
Q

Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) 2022: India specific findings?

A

India has by far the largest number of poor people worldwide at 22.8 crore, followed by Nigeria at 9.6 crore.

Two-thirds of these people live in a household in which at least one person is deprived of nutrition.

The incidence of poverty fell from 55.1% in 2005/06 to 16.4% in 2019/21 in the country.

The deprivations in all 10 MPI indicators saw significant reductions as a result of which the MPI value and incidence of poverty more than halved.

As many as 41.5 crore people moved out of poverty in India during the 15-year period between 2005-06 and 2019-21.

Improvement in MPI for India has significantly contributed to the decline in poverty in South Asia.

South Asia now has not the lowest number of poor people than Sub-Saharan Africa.

The relative reduction from 2015/2016 to 2019/21 was faster: 11.9% a year compared with 8.1% from 2005/2006 to 2015/2016.

Bihar, the poorest state in 2015-16, saw the fastest reduction in MPI value in absolute terms.
The percentage of poor in Bihar fell from 77.4 % in 2005-06 to 52.4 % in 2015-16 and further to 34.7 % in 2019-21.

However, in relative terms, the poorest states have not quite caught up.
Of the 10 poorest states in 2015/2016, only one (West Bengal) have emerged out of the list in 2019-21.
The rest (Bihar, Jharkhand, Meghalaya, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan) remain among the 10 poorest.

Across states and union territories in India, the fastest reduction in relative terms was in Goa, followed by Jammu and Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan.

Poverty among children fell faster in absolute terms, although India still has the highest number of poor children in the world.
More than one in five children in India are poor compared with around one in seven adults.

The incidence of poverty fell from 36.6% in 2015-2016 to 21.2% in 2019-2021 in rural areas and from 9.0% to 5.5% in urban areas.

Q

4th Vande Bharat express? about Vande Bharat Express?

A

HP

The Vande Bharat Express, also known as Train 18, is a semi-high-speed, electric multiple-unit train. It was designed and manufactured by the government-owned Integral Coach Factory (ICF), Chennai.

On 27 January 2019, the train service was renamed the Vande Bharat Express to honour the fact that the train was manufactured entirely in India for covering distances of 500kms to 750kms

Vande Bharat Express has a maximum commercial speed of 160 km/h. It exceeded 180 km/h during testing, but its tracks are not capable of supporting such high speeds; thus the train is operated at a maximum speed of 130 km/h

Acceleration and decelaration of Vande Bharat Express are famous. It has the highest acceleration on Indian rail network. Its acceleration is comparable with bullet trains

Currently, eight Vande Bharat Express trains are running in the country and the Secunderabad-Visakhapatnam was launched recently. Apart from this, the Express trains are running between New Delhi-Varanasi, New Delhi-Katra, Gandhinagar Capital- Mumbai, New Delhi-Amb Andaura, Chennai-Mysuru, Bilaspur-Nagpur and the Howrah- New Jalpaiguri.

Q

Slender Loris?

A

The slender lorises (Loris) are a genus of loris native to India and Sri Lanka.
Slender lorises spend most of their life in trees, traveling along the tops of branches with slow and precise movements.
They generally feed on insects, reptiles, plant shoots, and fruit.
They are found in tropical rainforests, scrub forests, semi-deciduous forests, and swamps.

There are two species of Slender Loris, the only members of the genus ‘Loris’:
Red Slender Loris (Loris tardigradus)
Grey Slender Loris (Loris lydekkerianus)

It is believed that they have medicinal properties and they are captured and sold. Since there is great demand for keeping these animals as pets, they are illegally smuggled.
Habitat loss, electrocution of live wires and road accidents are other threats that have caused its populations to dwindle.

The facility has two parts: the Agnikul launchpad and the Agnikul mission control centre, which are four kilometres apart.
The launchpad has been designed to accommodate and support liquid stage-controlled launches.
Agnikul Cosmos is planning to launch its Agnibaan rocket from this launchpad.

Agnibaan is a two-stage launch vehicle that is capable of taking payloads of up to 100 kilograms to a low-earth orbit around 700 kilometres from the surface of the Earth.
It will be powered by the company’s 3D-printed Agnilet engines

Agnilet is the world’s first single-piece 3-D printed engine fully designed and manufactured in India and was successfully test-fired in early 2021, making Agnikul the first company in the country to test its engines at ISRO.

The Agnilet rocket is a “semi-cryogenic” engine that uses a mixture of liquid kerosene and supercold liquid oxygen to propel itself.
The engine is very complex and it functions at very high temperatures.
