Women's Reservation Bill Passage

Directions (18-25) Read the following passage and answer the given questions. Directions: Read the question passage thoroughly and answer the questions that follow. For decades, India has prided itself on being the world's largest democracy, a nation that embraces diversity and equality. Yet, within the hallowed halls of political power, a stark gender imbalance persists. The approval of the Women's Reservation Bill by the Union Cabinet, for likely passage during Parliament's ongoing special session, highlights a glaring truth. Political parties have had ample opportunities to rectify this imbalance but chose not to. The statistics speak volumes. According to a recent Inter-Parliamentary Union study, India ranks a disheartening 149th out of 193 countries in terms of female representation in the lower house of Parliament. In a country where women make up half the population, they hold a mere 14 per cent of seats in the Lok Sabha and 11 per cent in the Rajya Sabha. These figures are inexcusable and paint a gloomy picture of gender inequality in our political landscape. One might wonder why, in a democratic system, where the power to change rests with the people, such a disparity persists. The answer lies in the choices made by political parties themselves. Over the years, parties have failed to take the initiative to correct the imbalance voluntarily. They could have easily fielded women candidates in a third of the constituencies they contested in Lok Sabha and state assembly elections. It was a simple step that could have made a profound impact on women's representation in politics. However, they chose not to, merely offering lip service to the cause of gender equality. The Women's Reservation Bill, which seeks to reserve one-third of all seats in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies for women, now stands as a legislative remedy for this imbalance. While some may argue that such a measure is heavy- handed, it is important to re- member that it arises from a vacuum in voluntary action. It is the result of decades of unfulfilled promises and persistent gender bias within political parties. The reluctance of political parties to address this imbalance voluntarily has been nothing short of disappointing. Women's representation in the Lok Sabha has grown at a snail's pace since Independence, from a mere 4.4 per cent in 1952 to just 12.15 per cent after the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. (A) The progress has been lethargic and it's a stark reminder that democracy Opposition to the Women's Reservation Bill, brought forward 27 years ago, centred on concerns of fairness and the democratic right to compete based on merit rather than gender.

ICRA Report on India Inc. Credit Quality

Directions (31-37) Read the following passage and answer the given questions.

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

In a promising development for India's corporate landscape, the credit quality of businesses across the country exhibited significant strength and resilience during the first half of the financial year 2024 (H1 FY2024). A recent report by ICRA, a leading credit rating agency, revealed that India Inc.'s credit profiles have been bolstered by robust domestic consumption and investments in various sectors. The ICRA report, released on Tuesday, in

the credit quality of both investment-grade and non-investment-grade categories. Although the pace of this improvement moderated in comparison with the previous two fiscal years, it marks a positive trajectory for India's economic recovery.

Six key sectors played a pivotal role in driving the credit quality improvements observed in H1 FY2024: hospitality, auto components, power, realty, roads, and financials. Together, these sectors accounted for nearly half of the total instances of credit upgrades during this period. Hospitality Sector Rebounds: The hospitality sector has been on a remarkable rebound trajectory, rebounding from the significant adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic experienced in 2020 and 2021. Critical operating metrics such as occupancy rates and average room rates have seen a sharp recovery, prompting several upgrades over the past 18 months. The sector's resilience signifies

a promising revival of India's tourism and hospitality industry.

Auto Components Thrive: The increasing demand from end-user industries, especially in the passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle segments, has significantly contributed to the upgrades of auto component manufacturers and automobile dealers. This surge reflects the buoyant automotive sector, which continues to be a key driver of economic growth.

Realty's Resilience: The realty sector has shown resilience with healthy sales and collections in the residential segment, along with improved leasing activity in the commercial and retail segments. These factors have contributed to a reduction in leverage levels for several real estate entities, supporting their credit upgrades. Realty's performance is indicative of renewed confidence in the Indian real estate market.

Power Sector Reforms: In the power sector, several entities were upgraded following the realization of their long-pending receivables from power distribution companies. These dues were cleared under the Late Payment Surcharge (LPS) scheme, highlighting the positive impact of policy reforms on India's power sector.

Roads Sector Driven by Risk Mitigation: Several Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) in the roads sector experienced upgrades in H1 FY2024, largely due to entity-specific factors focused on mitigating project execution risks. The achievement of final or provisional dates of completion for projects, coupled with the receipt of initial semi-annual payments without significant deductions, underscored the sector's progress.

Financial Sector's Strong Fundamentals: The financial sector witnessed improvements in credit profiles due to steady credit growth, stable asset quality indicators, and equity capital mobilization. This trend was particularly prominent in the microfinance segment, highlighting the sector's robust fundamentals. There are broader economic implications. The strengthening of India Inc's credit quality is a positive signal for the broader Indian economy.

A healthier credit environment can catalyze further investments, job creation, and economic growth. Here are some of the broader economic implications:

Investment Climate: Improved credit quality is likely to boost investor confidence, encouraging both domestic and foreign investments. Businesses with stronger credit profiles may find it easier to secure funding for expansion and capital expenditure projects.

Job Creation: As businesses thrive and expand, they are more likely to hire new employees. A robust job market can stimulate consumer spending and drive economic growth.

Economic Recovery: India's post-pandemic recovery has been a central focus, and the credit quality surge in H1 FY2024 contributes to this narrative. It indicates that businesses have been able to adapt and recover from the pandemic's impact, laying the foundation for sustained economic growth.

Sectoral Resilience: The sectoral diversity in credit quality improvements suggests that multiple segments of the Indian economy are regaining strength. This resilience can help buffer against economic shocks in the future.

Credit Access: Businesses with improved credit profiles are better positioned to access credit at favorable terms, enabling them to invest in innovation and expansion, ultimately driving economic development.

While the credit quality improvements are encouraging, it's essential to recognize that economic challenges persist. India faces hurdles such as inflationary pressures, supply chain disruptions, and global economic uncertainties that could impact the trajectory of credit quality improvement. Looking ahead, sustained efforts to address these challenges, coupled with continued policy support, will be crucial for India Inc's credit quality to maintain its upward trajectory. Additionally, the emphasis on sustainability, digital transformation, and innovation will play a pivotal role in shaping the long-term competitiveness of Indian businesses. In conclusion, the ICRA report's findings paint an optimistic picture of India Inc's resilience and adaptability in the face of economic

challenges. The credit quality improvements observed across various sectors in H1 FY2024 provide a solid foundation for India's economic recovery and future growth prospects. As India continues to navigate the evolving global landscape, these improvements are a testament to the nation's ability to overcome adversity and emerge stronger.
