2. Question
Q2. {Governance – Welfare} Which of the following is a key feature of the Universal Basic Income (UBI) concept?
Correct
Explanation
Option (b) is correct
The idea of a Universal Basic Income (UBI) is debated, especially due to jobless growth.
The International Labour Organisation (ILO)’s recent World Employment and Social Outlook links decreased job growth and increased automation and artificial intelligence (AI).
UBI in India is a universal system covering basic needs, providing a base income regardless of employment status.
India currently implements various forms of “semi-UBI”:
Cash transfer schemes for farmers and women
State-level cash transfers for unemployed youth
However, these do not constitute a full UBI system.
Answer: (b) A fixed income provided to all citizens, regardless of employment status; Difficulty Level: Easy

Question 4 of 7
4. Question
Q4. {Social Sector – Health – Diseases} With reference to the Sickle cell disease, consider the following statements:
It is a genetic disorder caused by an abnormality in haemoglobin and completely curable by treatment.
India carries the highest global burden of sickle cell disease (SCD).
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect
Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder caused by an abnormality in haemoglobin. When both parents carry the sickle cell trait, their child has a significant chance of being born with it.
Patients with sickle cell disease face a significantly reduced lifespan, with life expectancy shortened to around 40 years. The disease drastically affects their quality of life due to continuous health problems.
Individuals with SCD are often viewed as “genetically inferior” and are sometimes ostracised, with the condition being misattributed to “God’s curse” or “black magic.”
Government has launched the National Sickle Cell Anaemia Elimination Mission in 2023.
Currently, only 18% of affected individuals in India receive consistent treatment for sickle cell disease. Drop-offs are at various stages – screening, diagnosis, treatment initiation, and adherence.
While there is no permanent cure for SCD, affordable drugs like hydroxyurea can improve a patient’s quality of life if taken consistently. However, access to these medicines is unreliable.
Statement 2 is incorrect
India bears the world’s second-largest burden of sickle cell disease (SCD).
Answer: (d) Neither 1 nor 2; Difficulty Level: Medium
