π Constitutional Provisions on Separation of Powers
π Key Provisions Ensuring Balance Among Organs
β Article 50: Directs the State to separate judiciary from the executive, especially in lower courts.
β Part V & Part VI: Clearly define roles of Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary at Union and State levels.
β Articles 121 & 211: Prohibit Parliament/State Legislatures from discussing conduct of Supreme Court or High Court judges in their official duties.
β Articles 122 & 212: Prevent judiciary from questioning legislative proceduresβupholding legislative privilege.
π Structural Safeguards
β Office of Profit: Limits legislators from holding executive posts, though exceptions exist in Indiaβs parliamentary system.
β 91st Amendment: Caps the Council of Ministers to 15% of legislature strength, minimizing executive-legislature fusion.
β Article 98: Empowers Parliament to manage its own secretariat and staffing, separate from executive control.
β Article 146: Grants CJI control over Supreme Court staff appointments, unless Parliament legislates otherwise.
π Conclusion
β These provisions help maintain institutional independence, promote checks and balances, and prevent concentration of power, even in a parliamentary democracy like India.

π Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS)
π What is ADAS?
ADAS are digital systems in vehicles that assist drivers with tasks like navigation and parking.
π How does it work?
β Sensors, cameras, and radar are used to monitor the vehicleβs environment, enabling features like:
β’ Automatic emergency braking
β’ Forward collision warning
β’ Blind spot collision warning
β’ Lane-keeping assist
β’ Adaptive cruise control
π Objective:
β The main goal is to reduce the frequency and impact of unavoidable vehicle accidents, thus preventing fatalities and injuries.

π Trade Policy For Viksit Bharat
π About Trade Policy
β Defines the nationβs framework of laws, regulations, agreements, and practices governing international trade.
β Aims to strengthen the domestic economy through structured trade practices.
β Growth Target: Exports to rise from $775 billion (2023-24) to $2 trillion by 2030.
β This growth is three times faster than the global export pace.
π Challenges to Indiaβs Trade Policy
β Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs): Domestic legal barriers hinder trade agreements.
β Low Regional Integration: Trade with SAARC & BIMSTEC nations remains under 6%.
β Weak Global Supply Chain Integration: Limits Indiaβs role in global trade dominance.
β Service Export Constraints: Restrictions under GATS limit flexibility.
β EUβs CBAM Impact: Could hurt steel and cement exports.
π Vision: Viksit Bharat 2047 aims to achieve economic growth, sustainability, social progress, and good governance.
