Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage - 1 In recent times, India has grown fast not only compared to its own past but als¢ in comparison with other fiations. But there cannot be any room for complacency because it is possible for the Indian economy to develop even faster and also to spread the benefits of this growth more widely than has been done thus far. Before going into details of the kinds of micro-structural changes that we need to conceptualize and then proceed to implement, it is worthwhile elaborating on the idea of inclusive growth that constitutes the defining concept behind this Government's various economic policies and decisions. A nation interested in inclusive growth views the same growth differently depending on whether the gains of the growth are heaped primarily on a small segment or shared widely by the population. The latter is cause for celebration but not the former. In other words, growth must not be treated as an end in itself but as an instrument, for spreading prosperity to all. India’s own past experience and the experience of other nations suggests that growth is necessary for eradicating poverty but it is not a sufficient condition. In other words, policies for promoting growth. need to be B-FVS-N-OCUB (2+A) complemented with policies to ensure that more and more people join in the growth process and, further, that there are mechanisms in place to redistribute some of the gains to those who are unable to partake in the market process and, hence, get left behind, A simple way of giving this idea of inclusive growth a sharper form is to measure a nation’s progress in terms of the progress.of its poorest segment, for instance the bottom 20 per cent of the population. One could measure the per capita income of, the bottom quintile of the population and also caleulate the growth rate of income; and evaluate our economic success in terms of these measures that pertain to the poorest segment. This approach is attractive because it does not ignore growth like some of the older heterodox criteria did. It simply looks at the growth of income of the poorest sections of the population. It also ensures that those who are outside of the bottom quintile do not get ignored. If that were done, then those people would in all likelihood drop down into the bottom quintile and so would automatically become a direct target of our policies. Hence the criterion being suggested here is a statistical summing up of the idea of inclusive growth, which, “in turn, leads to ‘two, corollaries : to wish that India must strive to achieve high growth and that we must work to ensure that the weakest segments benefit from the growth.Rreafertisa 5 (ate) serie & fore fea: Rreafeiteaa a ited a ogy otk rte wide + oh art aed wenietl % see stare | 4 wear ores et 3a WReBa we eh smart ae aTee 1 vufteda - 1 oe & aH, men a ae ae oe ont A gen 4, af ora 2s A gee AH, ot 2 fawfia gor 8 | fea Fe Pet onic A siren ai @ aa, Fai weed sreoqaeT 3 fem yea fh afte ta fer wor ok we gf & evil st, ae aw fen fra wer 8 sad wei ofies care ea a, aftanfies ctit we agar era 8 | sa Genie chat & vant & ahi joo a wed, fet af Warm eO ot fie =8 anifar ac Wea %, amet agg & fran at fem a tan aris an, at sa ween A fafa satis afet sik Pekt & do ue Recs sapere Fiftia wean 8 | arash wale F af wat aren Te eh ighy wt ew fia we # tara at wu omar 8 fe am age & ar a orator & wm de fees oe A van a feat Tren 8 a eae eh ait At cares wT S aa 21 om dale & anit 8 ange er a aad B a ag ah A an 2, om aay S oH fe HG Hs g, Te | GR veel, a @ att ond ww oer A ae ad Gar FET arity, af Fa wi ae don wget ara & Be A tan ara alee | a Fea adie & aga aan wt og & agra oh, ae gard & fe agi eet & sap & fey sara * B-FVS-N-OCUB Wa weg ve GH wala wed ea GR eel a, gf a age Hat wae the aia @ wmafta fai arr arazae @ th ae giieaa wt fe onftrenfins cit date ft afer H after et, ait ae +f fis taf fieafafteat sare at ea Fe am Be chit Fo gfata fee ot ot aoresizat F unfier #3 A cer & stk ge arm Hd a aa H art gt & ye fee wt Ue artim were 37S} a UH are ater ae 2 fH Pet Uy A saft # aa wad The RA, score, WreeA & wae Prae 20%, A salt % sree AT ore | Seen & ga wae Pract vlad fee A oe cate ara St aT oo TaeT Bose eT” A gee Hwa WA we Baik wad ida feed @ waft gage sree Te Ea Saifthes TAT a SHEA Fra aT AAT B | AE ge orate 8, wits we daly A ge ae ster él arth Sel Re gw aS | CTE ATE HA ond fh i ae ae seen & wat Tea aH aa A gH A tah 2 1 we A afte wich & fh Ra cit Ay sft stan a a st wa faa ctad feet 3 are #1 ome ten a, yl werent 8 fH 3 cin of we fled visa feed # on ont sit wa san atom & end A Hite ar chen ces aa one | Fa WHR Tet TATE TR ares aa agia % fran ar wifeThT earner & A chore: at safigiat M sk A wa @ 3g For Fen A anaes os a oa rf ig ww wa woe sto gitar we & fe ard at fh Ugh Swed ida feed arena a .

Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage -1 Climate change poses_ potentially devastating effects on India’s agriculture. While the overall parameters of climate change are increasingly accepted — a 1°C average temperature increase over the next 30 years, sea level rise of less than 10.cm in the same period, and regional monsoon variations and corresponding droughts — the impacts in India are likely to be quite site and crop specific. Some erops may respond favourably to the changing conditions, others may not, This emphasizes the need to promote agricultiral resesirch and create maximum flexibility in the system to permit adaptations. The key ingredient for “drought proofing” is the managed recharge of aquifers, To ensure continued yields of important staple erops (e.g. wheat), it may also be necessary to shift the locations where these crops ate grown, in response to temperature changes as well’ as to water availability. The latter will be a key factor in making long term investment decisions. For example, Himalayas is predicted to increase over the next 30 years as glaciers melt, but then decliné substantially thereafter. It will be critical to ‘provide incéntives to plan for these large-scale shifts in agro-ecological conditions. water .runoff ‘from. the B-FVS-N-OCUB India needs to make long term investment in research and development ih agriéultute.

Mitigation would require a major shift in the way we produce and consume energy. A shift avay from overwhelming dependence on fossil fuels is now long overdue, but unfortunately, technological development has been slow and inadequate largely because government policies have not promoted investments in research and development, myopically as a result of relatively low prices of oil, It is now, therefore, imperative for a country like India treating the opportunity of harnessing renewable energy on a large scale as a national imperative. This country is extremely well endowed with solar, wind and biomass sources of energy. Where we have lagged, unfortunately, is in our ability to develop and to ereate technological solutions for harnessing these resources. One particular trajectory for carrying out, stringent mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) clearly shows the need for ensuring that global emissions of greenhouse gases peak no later than 2015 and reduce rapidly thereafter. The B-FVS-N-OCUB cost associated with such a trajectory is truly modest and would amount, in the estimation of IPCC, to not more than 8 percent of the global GDP in 2030. In other words, the level of prosperity that the world would have reached without mitigation would at worst be postponed by a few months or a year at the mos Mhis is clearly not @-very high price to pay for protecting hundreds of millions of people from the worst risks associated with climate change. Any such effort, however, would require lifestyles to change appropriately also. Mitigation of greenhouse gas omissions is not a mere technological fix, and clearly requires changes in lifestyles and transformation of a country’s economic structure, whereby effective reduction in emissions is brought about, such es through the consumption of much lower quantities of animal protein. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has determined that the emissions from the livestock sector amount to 18 percent of the total. The reduction of emissions from’ this source is entirely in the hands of human beings, who have never questioned the impacts that their dietary habits of consuming more and more animal protein are bringing about. Mitigation overall has huge co-benefits, such as lower air pollution and health benefits, higher energy security and greater employment.

Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage - 1 ‘The Himalayan ecosystem is highly vulnerable to damage, both due to geological reasons and on account of the stress caused by increased pressure of population, exploitation of natural resources’ and other related challenges. These aspects may be exacerbated due to the impact of climate change. It is possible that climate change may adversely impact the Himalayan ecosystem through increased temperature, altered precipitation patterns, episodes of drought and biotic influences. This would not only impact the very sustenance of the indigenous communities in uplands but also the life of downstream dwellers across the country and beyond. Therefore, there is an urgent need for giving special attention to sustain the Himalayan ‘ecosystem. This would require conscious efforts for conserving all the representative systems. Further, it needs to be emphasized that the endemics with restricted distribution, and most often with specialized habitat requirements, are among the most vulnerable elements. In this respect the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, with Tich endemic diversity, is vulnerable to climate change. The threats include possible loss of genetic resources and species, habitats and concomitantly a decrease in ecosystem services. Therefore, conservation of endemic elements in representative ecosystems/habitats assumes a great significance while drawing conservation plans for the region. B-FVS-N-OCUB. ‘Towards achieving the above, we will have to shift toward contemporary approaches, which include a paradigm of landscape level interconnectivity between protected area systems. The concept advocates a shift from the speci expanding the biogeographic range co that natural adjustments to climate change can proceed without being restrictive. conservation abitat focus to an inclusive focus on 26, Consider the following statements : According to the passage, the adverse impact of climate change on an ecosystem can be a 1. permanent disappearance of some of its, flora and fauna, 2 permanent disappearance of ecosystem itself.

But the basic philosophy international economic ie B-FVS-N-OCUB underlying globalization emphasizes absolute freedom to markets to determine prices. and Production and distribution patterns, and view government interventions as processes that create distortions and bring in inefficiency. Thus, public enterprises have to be privatized through disinvestments and sales; sectors and activities hitherto reserved for the public sector have to be opened to the private sector. This logic extends to the social services like education and health. Any restrictions on the adjustments in workforce by way of retrenchment of workers should also be removed and exit should be made easier by removing any restrictions ‘on closures. Employment and wages should be governed by free play of market forces, as any measure to regulate them can discourage investment and also create inefficiency in production. Above sll, in line with the overall philosophy of reduction in the role of the State, fiscal reforms should be undertaken to have generally low levels of taxation and government expenditure should be kept to the minimum to abide by the principle of fiscal prudence. All these are poliey actions on the domestic front and are not directly related to the core itams of the globalization agenda, namely free international flow of goods and finance. 80.

Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage -1 Many nations now place their faith in capitalism and governments choose it as the strategy to create wealth for their people. The spectacular economic growth seen in Bra: China and India after the liberelisation of their economies is proof of its enormous potential and success. However, the global banking crisis and the economic recession have left many bewildered. The debates tend to focus on free market operations and forces, their efficiency and their ability for self correction, Issues of justice, integrity and honesty are rarely elaborated to highlight the failure of the global banking system. The apologists of the system continue to justify the success of capitalism and ‘argue that the recent crisis was a blip. Their arguments betray an ideological bias with the assumptions that an unregulated market is fair and competent, and that the exercise of private greed will be in the larger public interest. ‘Few recognize the bidirectional relationship between capitalism and greed; that each reinforces the other. Surely, a more honest conceptualisation of the conflicts of interest simong the rich and powerful players who have benefited from the system, their biases and ideology is needed; the focus on the wealth creation should also highlight the resultant gross inequity. B-FVS-N-OCUB 52, The apologists of the “Free Market System”, according to the passage, believe in (a) market without control by government authorities. (b) market without protection by the government, (© ability of market to self correct. (@) market for free goods and services. 53. With reference to “ideological bias’, the passage implies that, (a) free market is fair but not competent. (b) free market is not fair but competent.

While the public sector or the State-led entrepreneurship played an important role in triggering Indis evolving development needs, comparatively industrialization, our loss-than-satisfactory perfirmance of the public sector enterprises, the maturing of our private sector, a much larger social base now available for expanding entrepreneurship and the growing institutional capabilities to enforce competition polities would suggest that the time has come to review the role of public sector. What should the portfolio composition of the government be ? It should not remain static all times. The airline industry works well as a purely private affair. At the opposite end, rural roads, whose sparse traffic makes tolling unviable, have to be on the balance-sheet of the State. If the government id not own rural roads, they would not exist. Similarly, public health capital in our towns and cities will need to come from the public sector. Equally, improvement of forest cover will have to be a preservation and ‘new priority for the public sector assets. B-FVS-N-OCUB Take the example of steel. With near-zero tariffs, India is a globally competitive market for the metal. Indian firms export steel into the global market, which demonstrates there is no gap in technology. Indian companies are buying up global steel companies, which shows there is no gap in capital availability. Under these conditions, private ownership works best. Private ownership is clearly desirable in regulated industries, ranging from finance to infrastructure, where a government agency performs the function of regulation and multiple competing firms are located in the private sector. Here, the simple and clean solution — government as the umpire and the private sector as the players is what works best. In many of these industries, we have a legacy of government ownership, where productivity tends to be lower, fear of bankruptcy is absent, and the risk of asking for money from the tax payer is ever present. ‘There is also the conflict of interest between government as an owner and as the regulator. The formulation and implementation of competition policy will be more vigorous and fair if government companies are out of action, (32-A)ufteag -2 tata ardatte aa sap & freer ae FA pe atau ar aa 22% 8, st mRae form dae ot geet Fam 2 | et et arta are a ceaaiata gong Yo & steiner a ata aa Ho map! yes fing, vat, end aah gfe srawepand, arkafies dae sent & cider & stenga =p feng, ert mea daw F aif vReaaan, somaftt ware Ry ge aH wrens ae ofte care emits aren sik sitet feat a om a wa aga A ‘aieairs aed ag gent § F arias a Hyper Geach wae om Te | Bean ar afaarraaes Ser gar wafee 2 ea ama fear ag aR ce RE | fae ‘ser pia: sage amet A ate weft art wal 21 gad ace, anf get at, fea Oe A waa eT HM sree wat am %, wer & gee at ae | ae anf agh aan & cafes Ha a, at se fears a em | set are, wat ee atk cont 4 sie eared ot ar aries daw & ort weft 81 af wen, arrest % deer ot dav ah ardafies aaa ofemftel ét wed wrattenen & eof ger aT | B-FVS-N-OCUB year wo sae A | am aT wars % are, aa ga ng & fee cH arin sieht are 21 eda caaresfters fer aan 4 yena aw fais at %, fired ae Preis dat 8. sett F ag since wet 2 seta arated fara A gene aah at wate WH &, Sh ae Rearan 2% Gt sacreera F aie stare wal 8 | ee GHB, sede efi sege ard ert faftafta seit a, faa & dex orertce ian ae, wigte eafiea are dh we aioe 2, set ced ateer aan at art Pore aR oft age afin emneafien meee ae 4 oaftea & | wel, wa ot ee are — wat wr Ges (sea) A we Aer sik wade Gam a Reenigat A are der & waa oredt oe ar aT 2 | FAS ants seit want carfica A Reraa 2, vet serge A waft aanpa a wel A sik 2, Raita aa va sig veh 2, atk megemall 8 aa A a ar atten her eat ger 8 | wai aa & wart @ sit fame #8 & dia oH face at wea 2 1 af aeant aafat ari a a, @t sfentin fa A ca okt wratar atte sft care oft Prova eh (33-4)-@ ‘According to the passage, what is/are the reason/reasons for saying that the time has come to review the role of public sector ? 1. _ Now public sector has lost its relevance in the industrialization process. 2.
