Directions (Q. 1-10): Read the passage carefully and
answer the questions given below it. Certain words/phrases
are given in bold to help you locate them while answering
some of the questions.
The Expert Committee formed under the supervision
of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Deputy Governor, Urjit Patel,
released their report to revise and strengthen the monetary
policy framework, earlier this year. Since then, the report
has been heavily discussed and debated in academic and
policy circles. It recommends a fundamental change in the
way monetary policy is conducted in India. The one
recommendation that has been the main talking point so
far is the adoption of a flexible inflation target. Here we
attempt to analyse this particular recommendation of the
committee against the backdrop of the current Indian
economic scenario.
Monetary policy in independent India has evolved
substantially over the past several decades. India adopted
widespread liberalisation, privatisation, and deregulation
reforms in the early 1990s. During the post-liberalisation
period running up to the present time, the RBI has been
following a multiple-indicator approach for executing
monetary policy. In this approach, information is gathered
on various macroeconomic indicators such as output, trade,
credit, inflation rate, exchange rate, capital flows etc.
Thereafter, monetary policy is designed to fulfil the multiple
objectives of increasing employment, closing the gap with
potential output, moderating inflation, stabilising exchange
rate and so on.
This kind of multiple-indicator approach, however,
lacks a nominal anchor or a specific target per se and hence
it may be argued that it is less likely to be effective in
achieving all the objectives at the same time. Such an
approach makes the monetary policy highly discretionary
and runs the risk of sending confusing signals to market
participants as well as corporations.
In India, the multiple-indicator approach of the
monetary policy worked relatively well, especially between
the late 1990s and late 2000s when Indian GDP was growing
at a healthy and robust rate of close to 10 per cent or more,
and inflation (measured by the wholesale price index or
WPI) was moderate at around 5-6 per cent. This was also
the time when all was apparently well in the global economy,
which was going through a phase of relatively low output
volatility.

Directions (Q. 11-20): Read the passage carefully
and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/
phrases are given in bold to help you locate them while
answering some of the questions.
The most comprehensive indicator of economic growth
in an economy is the average annual growth in real Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) that is originating within the
geographical boundary and measured at constant base
period prices. It would, therefore, reflect average
incremental availability of goods and services produced
domestically in the economy over time. When the growth

of real GDP is adjusted for the population growth, it gives


the average annual growth of per capita real GDP and
reflects closely the improvements in standard of living
enjoyed by people in the economy on an average over
time. This is particularly valid for large countries where the
cross-border flows of goods and services are limited in
relation to the amount produced within the geographical
boundary. These three average annual growth rates in (i)
real GDP, (ii) population and (iii) per capita GDP (PCI) are
very significant parameters to reflect the performance and
prospects of economic development in any country over a
fairly long time period.
The history of economic growth in India is both
interesting and educative. Comparable time series estimates
of real GDP in India can be stretched back till the year 1890
for meaningful analysis.
The growth performance during the first phase when
the country was under the last 50 years of the British rule
was the worst during all the phases so far. Real GDP grew
at around 1 per cent annually and so did the population.
As a result, the per capita real income almost stagnated for
the first fifty years of the last century in India. Since the
last fifty years of the British rule in the country were
perhaps the best period for the Indian economy under their
rule of about 190 years in terms of development of all
physical and social overhead capital such as railways,
ports, schools, colleges, hospitals, banks and other
institutions, it can be safely assumed that the stagnation
of real living standards of people observed during 1900-51
was perhaps the phenomenon during the entire period of
190 years of the British rule in the country. These two
centuries of stagnation ensured that one of the richest
countries in the world luring everybody by its wealth and
prosperity turned into one of the poorest countries by the
year 1950-51.
11. Which of the following cannot be inferred from the
given passage?
1) To calculate the economic development of a country
one should have the data related to real GDP and
population.
2) During the last fifty years of the British rule the
growth performance was not at all good.
3) The rates of population growth and economic
growth were the same during the phase of the last
fifty years of the British rule.
4) The per capita real income during the first fifty years
of the last century in India registered no positive
growth rate.
5) During the two centuries of British rule, the last
fifty years was certainly the worst period for the
Indian economy.
12. Which of the following correctly gives the average
annual growth of per capita real GDP? Reply on the
basis of the given passage.

British rule in India

the racist representatives of the British, Winston Churchill,
predicted before India wrested independence from the
British. Independence Day and Republic Day do not kindle
patriotic fervour in a large section of our society any longer.
They have only been non-working days where people sit
back at home and enjoy with their families. They produce
only total revulsion for our corrupt political class, selfserving bureaucracy, greedy business empires and the
completely undisciplined people. The gullible people of
the country have been taken for a ride by the promises
made by their leaders all these years while they have been
bleeding the nation white in scam after scam. To millions of
patriotic Indians Independence day will remain a sad day
until all these parasites are totally annihilated.

above passage?
1) People of India lack in nationalism.

primary schools. The 2007-08 Budget of the Central
Government allocated about `73 billion for the MDM
scheme. Therefore, it becomes imperative that a
comprehensive evaluation of the programme be undertaken
to judge its efficiency. Increasing corruption and lack of
proper management has made the Mid-Day-Meal just the
promise written in the election mainfestoes of political
parties. The recent incident of the programme in Bihar has
made the condition worse. It has been more than five years
since the MDM scheme was launched but the condition
has not yet changed and the problems remain the same.

failure of the Mid-day-meal scheme?
1) Very small quantity of food is provided, which is

of food is not provided to the children.

nutritious food is not being given to the children.
4) Increasing health problem due to mid-day meal
