Question

Which of the following is a social impact attributed to WTO membership in India?

विकल्प

• Increased tariff barriers

• Commercialisation of the electricity sector

• Dominance of developed countries in global trade

• Reduction in Below Poverty Line (BPL) population

Answer 1

Social impacts include a reduction in the Below Poverty Line (BPL) population, a decline in infant mortality, improved drinking water facilities, and better wastewater management. Tariff increases and commercialisation are not social impacts, and dominance by developed countries is a criticism.
