The Rowlatt Act was passed by the British government to increase their grip on power over the common folk. This law was passed in March 1919 by the Imperial Legislative Council which gave them the power to arrest any person without any trial. To abolish this act, Gandhi and the other leaders called for a Hartal (suspension of work) to show Indians’ objection with this rule.
The impact of Rowlatt Satyagrah on political situation in India was immense. Gandhi organised Rowlatt Satyagrah against the Rowlatt Act which gave enormous power to the government to suppress the political activities of Indian leaders.
In opposition of the Act, protests and rallies were organised in various cities, workers went on strikes in railway workshops, and shops closed down. The British government tried to suppress the nationalist activity brutally. Local leaders were picked up from Amritsar, and Mahatma Gandhi was barred from entering Delhi. After attacks on post offices and railways, martial law was imposed and General Dyer took command. Jallianwala Bagh massacre took place on April 13, 1919. This incident shocked the entire nation. As the news of Jallianwalla Bagh spread, crowds took to the streets in many north Indian towns. There were strikes, clashes with the police and attacks on government buildings.
Thus, we can say that the Rowlatt Satyagrah led to an increase in nationalist activities of people in the country

Three ways to improve public facilities in India are listed below;
1. The availability of basic services such as education, healthcare, clean and safe drinking water, sanitation etc. by the government and its institutions must be ensured by eliminating the middlemen from the system. The initiative such as DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer), Clean India Mission, taken by the present incumbent government are praiseworthy in this regard.
2. The most filthiest enemy in provisioning of public services is corruption. It inhibits economic growth and affects society at large. The recent move of demonetisation by the government of India is a giant step towards combating corruption and its various forms.
3.The services must reach the poor and the backward sections of the society in the remotest areas which certifies its implementation by the government in improving the living conditions of the people at large.

Cheap and affordable credit is crucial for the country's development due to the following factors:
- More lending would lead to higher incomes and encourage people to invest in agriculture, engage in business and set up small scale industries.
- Cheap credit means more income would be left with the borrower to reinvest rather than return as interest. This leads to acceleration of economic activity.
- Cheap credit would also allow weaker sections of society to enter formal sector of lending and rid them of exploitation at the hands of informal moneylenders. Thus, it may improve the economic condition of the poor and landless.

Answer:
'Utopian vision' means that it is depicting something idealistic. The French artist F Sorrieu was visualizing a dream of a world made up of nations (all of them did not exist as nations at the time that these prints were made). He has showed the German people with a common flag, although actually they were a number of different states at that time. So it is an idealistic or Utopian vision.
