IASbaba Daily Prelims Quiz
For Previous Daily Quiz (ARCHIVES) – CLICK HERE
The Current Affairs questions are based on sources like ‘The Hindu’, ‘Indian Express’ and ‘PIB’, which are very important sources for UPSC Prelims Exam. The questions are focused on both the concepts and facts. The topics covered here are generally different from what is being covered under ‘Daily Current Affairs/Daily News Analysis (DNA) and Daily Static Quiz’ to avoid duplication. The questions would be published from Monday to Saturday before 2 PM. One should not spend more than 10 minutes on this initiative.
Gear up and Make the Best Use of this initiative.
Do remember that, “the difference between Ordinary and EXTRA-Ordinary is PRACTICE!!”

Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements with respect to ‘The Places of Worship Act’
- It provides for the maintenance of the religious character of all places of worship as it existed on the 15th day of August, 1947
- The Act applies to any place of worship which is an ancient and historical monument covered by the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958
Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution(d)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Incorrect Incorrect The act provides for the maintenance of the religious character of any place of worship as it existed on the 15th day of August, 1947. However, Section 5 stipulates that the Act shall not apply to the Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case, and to any suit, appeal, or proceeding relating to it. Besides the Ayodhya dispute, the Act also exempted: Any place of worship which is an ancient and historical monument, or an archaeological site covered by the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958. A suit that has been finally settled or disposed of. Any dispute that has been settled by the parties or conversion of any place that took place by acquiescence before the Act commenced. Context – The Supreme Court granted Central government more time to file an affidavit on the challenges to the Places of Worship Act of 1991.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
With reference to ‘In Our LiFEtime’ campaign, consider the following statements
- The campaign aims to encourage people under the age of 30 to become message bearers of sustainable lifestyles
- It is a joint initiative of National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), under the Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution(b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Incorrect Correct It aims to encourage youth between the ages of 18 to 23 years to become message bearers of sustainable lifestyles. This campaign envisions to recognize youth from around the world taking climate action initiatives that resonate with the concept of LiFE. National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), under the Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), jointly launched “In Our LiFEtime” campaign. Context – “In our LiFEtime” Campaign was recently launched by India at COP 27, Sharm El-Sheikh.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following statements with respect to ‘Photonic Crystals’
- Photonic crystals are optical nanostructures in which the refractive index changes periodically
- Photonic crystals also occur in nature in the form of structural coloration and animal reflectors
- Photonic crystals allows lights of all wavelengths and hence cannot be used to trap light like a nanophotonic resonator
Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution(a)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Correct Incorrect Photonic crystals are optical nanostructures in which the refractive index changes periodically. This affects the propagation of light in the same way that the structure of natural crystals gives rise to X-ray diffraction and that the atomic lattices (crystal structure) of semiconductors affect their conductivity of electrons. Photonic crystals occur in nature in the form of structural coloration and animal reflectors. Examples found in nature include opal, butterfly wings, peacock feathers, etc., exhibiting distinct iridescent colours. Photonic crystals contain regularly repeating regions of high and low refractive index. Light waves may propagate through this structure or propagation may be disallowed, depending on their wavelength. Wavelengths that may propagate in a given direction are called modes, and the ranges of wavelengths which propagate are called bands. Disallowed bands of wavelengths are called photonic band gaps. Photonic crystals can guide or to trap the light with the same function as nanophotonic resonator Context – Graphene-stabilised tunable photonic crystal can make more durable & better reflective display and lasers devices

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements with respect to ‘Grid Controller of India Limited ‘
- The Grid Controller of India Limited (Grid-India) is a wholly owned central government enterprise that comes under the aegis of the Ministry of Power
- Grid Controller of India Limited (Grid-India) operates the National Load Despatch Centre (NLDC) and only supervises Regional Load Despatch Centres (RLDCs)
- It is designated as the nodal agency for implementation and operation of Green Energy Open Access Portal, Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Mechanism
Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution(d)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Correct The Grid Controller of India Limited (Grid-India) is a wholly owned central government enterprise that comes under the aegis of the Ministry of Power. Previously, it was a fully owned subsidiary of the Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (Powergrid) – the central public sector undertaking (PSU) owned by the Union Power Ministry. “Grid Controller of India Limited (Grid-India)” operates the National Load Despatch Centre (NLDC) and also the five (5) Regional Load Despatch Centres (RLDCs). Grid-India is also designated as the nodal agency for major reforms in the power sector such as implementation and operation of Green Energy Open Access Portal, Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Mechanism, transmission pricing, short term open access in transmission, Deviation Settlement Mechanism, Power System Development Fund (PSDF), etc. Context – Power System Operation Corporation Limited is now Grid Controller of India Limited
