The constitution provides that there shall be a president. He is the executive head and exercise his powers, as per Constitution, either directly or through officers, subordinate to him.
Actually he is the Constitutional head and the Government is run in his name by the prime minister.
Election of the President and the Term of Office
The Indian President known as Rashtrapati is not elected by the people directly. An electoral college consisting of the elected Members of both Houses of Parliament(i.e Members of Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha). And members of all Legislative Assemblies will elect Rashtrapati.
Any Indian citizen who has completed 35 yeats of age and who is qualified to contest for the election to Lok Sabha can contest for the eleIction of Rashtrapati. He must not be a person holding any office of profit under the Government of a State or under any local or other authority subject to the authority of such Government. However, the post of President, Vice President and Ministers of Central Government and State Government shall not be considered as office of profit for the above purpose.
The President is elected for a term of five years by secret ballot in accordance with the system of proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote. As said earlier each M.P and M.L.A has a right to vote. As the number of M.Ps and M.L.A are different in each state, to bring uniformity in the representation, value has been fixed for votes of M.Ps and M.L.As on the basis of population of the concerned States.
The calculation of votes of M.L.As and M.Ps are fixed as follows
Decide the population of a State by the number of M.L.As. In te quotient how many thousands are there that much value is fixed for an M.L.A’s vote of that State. The balance of 500 or above are counted as one, otherwise it will be ignored.
Total value of votes of M.L.As of all the states are divided by the number of elected of M.Ps of both Houses. The quotient is the value of vote of each M.P if the balance figure is above half it will be counted as one, otherwise it will be ignored
In 1987 election of the president there wee 3919 M.L.As, 543 M.Ps in Lok Sabha and 233 M.Ps in Rajya Sabha. The value of vote of one M.P was 702.
A candidate shall be elected as President only if he has secured more than fifty per cent of votes. Votes is to be casted on preferential order (i.e first preferences, second preference, third preference etc,).
First, the first preference votes of all M.P’s and M.L.As will be taken into account. If a candidate secures more than 50% of these votes, he is declared elected. If no candidate has more than 50% votes, the candidates who has received the lowest number of votes will be eliminated and his votes distributed amongst the other candidates based on the second preference of the M.Ps and M.L.As who voted for him. Again votes will be counted and the candidate who secured more than 50% votes will be declared as elected. In the above manner, the distribution of votes of the eliminated candidates will go on till one of the candidates secures more than 50% votes.

What is a balanced diet?
A diet that focuses on providing all the nutrients that your body needs. It comprises of macronutrients like protein, carbohydrates and fat along with micronutrients which include vitamins and minerals. Each of them has a different role to play in maintaining various body functions.
These nutrients are derived through a combination of the five major food groups - fruits and vegetables, cereals and pulses, meat and dairy products and fats and oils. The rules seem simple but that's not the whole story - how much do you need daily, when is the best time to eat proteins or carbs and what should the portion size be?

(ii) We have got experience in purchasing and Know how to buy provisions, vegetables etc. and draw up priced and dietically sound menu to include quantities required for a camp of a week's duration for one patrol of 6 guides.
*We are properly guided to buy Vegetables like:
Carrots, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Eggplant, Garlic, Green or String Beans, Onions(no smell), Potatoes, Tomatoes
(iii) We have made a proper cooking place, laid and lighted a fire using chullah, trench etc. and cooked 5 local standard dishes of which two beverages as prescribed by the examiner.
*Whatever type of fire we decided to make, kept these things in mind:
Plan where we will light it - leave an opening to reach the tinder.
Light the upwind side so the wind blows the flame into the fuel.
Leave air space between pieces of wood.
Build UP, not OUT. Create a higher pile of wood rather than a flatter pile.
Lean-To FireThis fire keeps air space open due to the support stick and a steady, light wind really helps it get started.
Stick a long, large piece of kindling in the ground at a flat angle. It should point into the wind.
Place our tinder bundle under the stick.
Lean very tiny pieces of kindling on the tinder bundle.
Lean more small kindling against the support stick.
Lean larger kindling against the first layer.
We could create a second lean-to of larger sticks over the first lean-to.
Basic Fire
A simple fire, ‘hemmed’ in on at least two sides with logs or bricks, with a grid across the top to place cooking items on.
Altar Fire
This is basically a fire that is raised off the floor on a platform. These can be made from wood, but quite often metal is used, and half an old metal drum used to hold the fire.
Reflector Fire
A lot of heat from a normal fire is lost to the surroundings. A reflector wall will reflect much of the heat back towards the fire.
Trench Fire
Perhaps one of the simplest possible fires, the name suggests it all. Dig yourself a trench around 1m by 30cm (3 x 1 ft) and around 30 cm deep (1 ft). Place a layer of rocks on the bottom of the trench. Now build your fire on top of the rocks.
(iv) We are experienced in serving food in a proper manner, and was witnessed by the examiner also in the Camps.
