Case Study The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) under the Department of Consumer Affairs has notified 'Guidelines for Prevention of Misleading Advertisements and Endorsements for Misleading Advertisements, 2022’ with an objective to curb misleading advertisements and protect consumers, who may be exploited or affected by such advertisements. Keeping in view the sensitiveness and vulnerability of children and severe impact advertisements make on the younger minds, several preemptive provisions have been laid down on advertisements targeting children. Guidelines say that advertisement targeting children shall not feature any personalities from the field of sports, music or cinema and products which under any law require a health warning for such advertisement or cannot be purchased by children. |
With reference to the case study answer the following question:

Case Study British carmaker MG has confirmed the launch of a new affordable Electric Vehicle (EV) in India in the first half of 2023. The brand also revealed that this newly developed EV will come with an affordable price tag of around Rs 7-8 lakh. Although the firm has not yet disclosed the details of the EV’s body style, this new pure-electric offering will most probably compete against the Tata Nexon EV. Besides this, the MG’s upcoming EV will utilise a new platform and could offer a sub-300 km of travel range on a single charge. MG Motor has also announced that it will invest in nurturing young talents through its initiatives like the MG Nurture program. The carmaker plans to collaborate with 50 institutes through the program to train one lakh students on the latest technologies regarding EVs. Electric cars produce zero exhaust emissions, which means they do not emit any harmful exhaust gases into the air. This can benefit the environment as exhaust gases can negatively impact various health conditions and also have an impact on climate change. EVs are more efficient, and that combined with the electricity cost is cheaper than filling petrol or diesel for your travel requirements. Using renewable energy sources can make the use of EVs more eco-friendly. They mainly reduce noise levels which are hazardous to human health. |
With reference to the case study answer the following question:
Explain the effects of pollution on human health.
Write a short note on the five beliefs of environmental ethics.
Acid rain is essentially an outcome of aggressive industrialisation in the developed countries.
In view of the above statement, explain any two impacts of acid rain on the environment.

CASE STUDY With the advancement in technology and the goal to scale its business, JK Tyre & Industries has been working on a two-pronged strategy to add ‘significant relevance’ to its overall business. Along with the mainstream tyres, the Delhi based company is also running a fleet operating management business and a mobility business vertical. “In the fleet management business, from selling a tyre as a commodity, it becomes a kind of service. We have tied up with 1300 of the 1800 large fleets across India. We provide all the services and the customer pays for the tyre’s upfront cost.” Anuj Kathuria, India President, JK Tyres, said. Any fleet of 100 trucks/buses, or more, is considered a ‘large fleet’. An initiative like the fleet management service also contributes to sustained relationship with customers, leading to repeat purchases of tyres by them. The customer base of 1300 fleet operators hasn’t come easily for JK Tyres, an early mover with such a business intervention in the industry. The customer base has been built over the past two decades. Under the fleet management business, JK Tyres is also offering tire-as-a-service. It has about 250 pit stops, close to 100 truck wheel centres, where its services are provided. The company, which has also developed a tyre with 80% biodegradable materials, says that the ‘green tyre’ is close to a market launch. The tyre major has a target to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. |
