Q: Which one of the following is a principle of social welfare administration ?

The keyed answer is the principle of agency purpose.In Harleigh Trecker's account of social work administration, the principles of policy and administration begin from the agency's purpose: policies and the whole programme must be grounded in what the agency exists to do. That is why agency purpose is listed as a principle of social welfare administration.Self-determination (B) is a basic principle of social casework and group work, not of administration. Planning (C) and programming (D) are functions or stages of administration rather than principles on the list the key follows. I could not confirm a published list that excludes planning, and planning is sometimes called a principle of general administration, so this question rests on the keyed textbook list.

Answer: A

CSR is not applicable to a company with a net worth of ₹ 100 crore.

Section 135(1) of the Companies Act, 2013 makes CSR obligations apply to a company that, in the preceding financial year, had any one of: a net worth of ₹ 500 crore or more, a turnover of ₹ 1,000 crore or more, or a net profit of ₹ 5 crore or more. Such a company must spend at least 2 per cent of its average net profit on CSR activities.

A turnover of ₹ 1,000 crore, a net profit of ₹ 5 crore and a net worth of ₹ 500 crore each meet a threshold, so CSR applies to all three. A net worth of ₹ 100 crore is below the ₹ 500 crore threshold, so on that criterion alone the company is not covered.

B.March, 2006
C.March, 2007
D.March, 2008

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2021, SET Exam - 2021,

The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights was set up in March 2007.

The NCPCR was constituted in March 2007 under the Commission for Protection of Child Rights Act, 2005, to ensure that laws, policies and programmes are in line with the child rights perspective of the Constitution and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It also monitors the Right to Education Act and the POCSO Act.

2005 is the year of the Act that provided for the Commission, which is the usual trap; 2006 and 2008 are not the year it was set up.

Which one of the following is a principle of social welfare administration ?

A.Principle of Agency Purpose
B.Principle of Self-Determination
C.Principle of Planning
D.Principle of Programming

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2021, SET Exam - 2021,

Answer: A

The keyed answer is the principle of agency purpose.

In Harleigh Trecker's account of social work administration, the principles of policy and administration begin from the agency's purpose: policies and the whole programme must be grounded in what the agency exists to do. That is why agency purpose is listed as a principle of social welfare administration.

Self-determination (B) is a basic principle of social casework and group work, not of administration. Planning (C) and programming (D) are functions or stages of administration rather than principles on the list the key follows. I could not confirm a published list that excludes planning, and planning is sometimes called a principle of general administration, so this question rests on the keyed textbook list.
