Explanation:

• Statement 1 is correct: An anti-dumping duty (ADD) is a customs duty imposed on imports to protect against goods being dumped at prices substantially lower than the normal value — typically the price charged by foreign producers in their own country. ADD is chargeable in addition to, and independent of, any other duty.
• Statement 2 is correct: Countervailing duty is a customs duty on goods that have received government subsidies in the originating or exporting country. It is treated in the same way as ADD for customs purposes.
• Both measures are instruments of fair competition permitted by the WTO, not protection measures per se, and provide relief to the domestic industry against injury caused by dumping and unfair subsidies.

Explanation:

• Statement 1 is incorrect: EBV is highly contagious but spreads primarily through bodily fluids, especially saliva — not through respiratory droplets like coughing and sneezing.
• Statement 2 is correct: The virus remains dormant in the body and gets reactivated under unusual conditions like immunological stress or immunocompromise.
• Statement 3 is correct: While often asymptomatic, reactivation can lead to complications like Burkitt's lymphoma (a type of blood cancer), stomach cancer, and multiple sclerosis. There is no specific treatment for EBV.

Explanation:

• Statement 3 is correct: The programme aims at improving access to market and credit, strengthening institutions and governance at Centre and State level, improving Centre-State linkages, addressing delayed payments, and greening of MSMEs.

Explanation:

• Statement 1 is incorrect: National Science Day is observed to commemorate the discovery of the Raman Effect on February 28, 1928 — not CV Raman's birth anniversary.
• Statement 2 is correct: Dr CV Raman was the first Asian to win the Nobel Prize in science, and India has not won another Nobel Prize in the scientific segment since then.
• Statement 3 is correct: National Science Day is celebrated every year on February 28th. It is distinct from World Science Day, which is observed on 10th November.

Explanation:

• Statement 1 is correct: Celiac Disease is an inherited autoimmune condition where eating gluten triggers an immune response in the small intestine, damaging its lining and preventing absorption of nutrients (malabsorption).
• Statement 2 is correct: It can develop at any age after people start consuming gluten. It is estimated to affect 1 in 100 people worldwide.
• Statement 3 is incorrect: There is no definitive cure for celiac disease. For most people, following a strict gluten-free diet (not short-term) can help manage symptoms and help the intestine heal. Immunosuppressive drugs are not described as the treatment.
