- Van Sanrakshan Adhiniyam 2023
- The amended Forest Conservation Act that regulates diversion of forest land to non-forest use and requires central approval for such diversion.
- Project Tiger
- A centrally sponsored conservation scheme launched in 1973 to protect tigers and their habitat through tiger reserves managed under NTCA guidelines.
- Keystone species
- A species whose removal drastically changes the ecosystem, such as fig trees that feed many frugivores or tigers that control herbivore numbers.
- Champion and Seth classification
- The standard 1968 classification of Indian forests into 16 major types based on climate, moisture and species composition.
- Biological Diversity Act 2002
- Indian law creating a three-tier structure of NBA, State Biodiversity Boards and Biodiversity Management Committees to regulate access to biological resources.
- In-situ conservation
- Conservation within the natural habitat through national parks, sanctuaries and biosphere reserves, preserving species alongside their ecosystem.
- Biomagnification
- The increasing concentration of persistent toxins such as DDT or mercury at each higher trophic level of a food chain.
- Eutrophication
- Nutrient enrichment of water bodies by nitrogen and phosphorus, causing algal blooms and oxygen depletion that kill aquatic life.
- BOD
- Biochemical oxygen demand, the oxygen consumed by microbes to break down organic matter in water; high BOD signals organic pollution.
- Ozone depletion
- Stratospheric ozone loss caused by chlorine and bromine from CFCs, which increases harmful ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth's surface.
- Photosynthesis equation
- 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy yields C6H12O6 + 6O2, occurring in chloroplasts containing the green pigment chlorophyll.
- Greenhouse effect
- Trapping of outgoing infrared radiation by atmospheric gases such as CO2, methane and nitrous oxide, warming the Earth's surface.
- Simple interest formula
- SI = P × R × T ÷ 100, where P is principal, R the annual rate percent and T the time in years.
- Compound interest
- Amount = P(1 + R/100)^T; compound interest equals the amount minus the principal, compounding each year.
- Speed conversion rule
- To change km/h into m/s multiply by 5/18; to change m/s into km/h multiply by 18/5.
- Combined work formula
- If A finishes work in x days and B in y days, together they finish it in xy/(x+y) days.
- Circle and cylinder formulas
- Circle area is πr² and circumference 2πr; cylinder volume is πr²h with total surface area 2πr(r + h).
- Successive discount formula
- Two successive discounts of a% and b% equal a single discount of a + b − (ab/100) percent.
- Pythagoras theorem
- In a right-angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of squares of the other two sides: a² + b² = c².
- Odd days in calendar
- Remainder days after dividing total days by seven; a normal year gives 1 odd day and a leap year gives 2.
- Syllogism validity rule
- A conclusion follows only if it is true in every possible Venn diagram consistent with the given premises.
- Alphabet reverse position
- The reverse alphabet position equals 27 minus the forward position, so A is 26 and Z is 1.
- Blood relation notation
- Draw family trees using plus for male and minus for female; maternal uncle is the mother's brother.
- Direction sense displacement
- Track movements on x-y axes with east as +x and north as +y, then use Pythagoras for net displacement.
- संधि के भेद
- स्वर संधि, व्यंजन संधि और विसर्ग संधि - तीन प्रकार, जैसे विद्या + आलय = विद्यालय दीर्घ स्वर संधि है।
