The India-Sri Lanka Fishermen's Issue
Context:
Seven fishermen from Thangachimadam village near Rameswaram were arrested by the Sri Lankan Navy at Neduntheevu on charges, including poaching.
Background:
Fishermen from Sri Lanka and India have coexisted peacefully in each other's waters for many years.
The situation was altered when, between 1974 and 1976, India and Sri Lanka signed four maritime boundary agreements outlining their respective interpretations of the international maritime border between them.
These agreements were designed to make resource management and law enforcement in the Palk Strait easier.
Without consulting the state government of Tamil Nadu, the Indian government transferred the Katchatheevu island to Sri Lanka through the agreements.
Since that time, the island has only been "accessible" to Indian fishermen for resting, drying nets, and the annual St. Anthony’s festival—not for fishing.
What should be done?
Indian fishermen have been converted to trawlers for fishing in the oceans, which is not only harmful to the marine environment but also prohibited by the Sri Lankan authorities.
India must forbid the use of fishing gear in Palk Bay that is forbidden in Sri Lanka.
The Odisha coast, where the waters are very deep, is a place where trawlers can be used.
India has the power to turn Palk Bay from a contentious region into a shared treasure.
The Deep Sea Fishing Scheme is promoted as an alternative to bottom trawling by Tamil Nadu’s fishermen off Palk Bay. The scheme envisages the provision of 2,000 deep sea fishing boats in place of trawlers by 2019-20, which will be the third and final year of implementation of the scheme.

UPSC Civil Service Exam- As the best career option
“By choosing our path,
we choose our destination”…
The good thing is that lately there are numerous career options available to pursue after any academic stream, but, the matter is that the overwhelming majority of scholars don’t have an inclination towards a selected career or job.
Students are inclined towards the thought of starting their careers, becoming financially independent, and exploring the planet outside their classrooms; but it’s difficult for them to narrow down on a career or find employment that aligns with their interests and skills.
At an equivalent time, there are many young professionals who picked up employment in one or the opposite business functions like business management, engineering, accounting, HRM, designing, IT, data analytics, etc., and after a couple of years of working are again exploring career options which give job satisfaction and meaningful purpose in life!

Civil Services encompass all that an individual aspires for:
