SECTION – I
ENGLISH
Direction of Questions (1 - 10) : Read the given passage carefully and choose the most appropriate option to the
question given below
Montek Singh Ahluwalia is right. Let’s junk the acronym BIMARU, short for Bihar, MP, Rajasthan and U.P. The term was
coined in the 1980s to denote the four states’ backwardness. Much has changed since. In post- reforms India, many poor
states markedly improved their showing. In fact, better-off states like Punjab have seen decelerated growth in recent
times. But five of India’s eight laggard states including Bihar and Orissa, have grown faster than the global 7 per cent
benchmark for ‘miracle’ growth. Once the worst-performing, Bihar expanded at an annual average of 11 per cent
between 2004-05 and 2008-09. UP too didn’t do too badly at 6.29 per cent.
Further proof of Bihar’s inspiring turnaround is that, in 2008-09, it grew at a high 16.59 per cent at constant prices.
Rajasthan’s performance has been impressive over the years as well. A study reveals per capita income in the so-called
Bimaru states has begun to grow at a healthy 13 per cent, Unsurprisingly, the last moving consumer goods sector is
eyeing them as markets providing avenues for expansion. Even more remarkably, all four have climbed the ranks as
investors’ ‘preferable destinations’. And the chasm between rich and poor states has narrowed on many socio-economic
markers like education.
Ture, poverty and underdevelopment haven’t vanished. But the problem is that BIMARU is no longer used as just a
handy term to reflect that. Suggesting irredeemable hopelessness, it’s come to mean chronic backwardness and
sickness. Such derogatory connotations can only demoralise people in the places it refers to. States desperately trying to
better their socio-economic report cards don’t need that kind of psychological dampener. Besides, even in real terms,
BIMARU is increasingly being challenged. Why not give the nametag a timely burial?
COUNTERVIEW
When demographer Ashish Bose coined the BIMARU acronym, his purpose was clearly to categorized and segregate the
states retarding India’s overall development process. Rather than trying to be politically correct, Bose’s objective was to
identify ‘grey’ states in India’s map and spur action on the part of the government. There has to be an honest yardstick
to distinguish between high-performing and poorly performing states.
These states may have registered higher growth rates than before, but their performance remains dismal in terms of
human development indicators (HDI). Factor in per capita incomes, literacy rates, poverty, health and nutrition levels,
and these states still have a lot of catching up to do. High growth rates in some states don’t necessarily mean inclusive
growth for all regions and segments of population. Bihar’s impressive 11.03 per cent annual growth, on par with
Gujarat’s 11.05 per cent, is presented as a massive turnaround. However, Bihar still ranks lowest among Indian states in
HDI, according to the Handbook on Social Welfare Statistics-2007.
Further, literacy in India’s two most populous states,. Bihar and UP, amounts to just 47.53 per cent and 57.36 per cent
respectively. UP has also registered the highest maternal mortality rates per 1,00,000 births, at 539, followed by
Rajasthan at 501, Orissa at 424, Madhya Pradesh at 407 and Bihar at 400. These states lag behind in infrastructure
development, access to public amenities and corruption free governance. To top it all, they are among the worst Naxal-
affected states. The arc of deprivation described by the BIMARU acronym still remains relevant.
1. Which of the following is considered a global benchmark of good average growth rate?
(a) 7 (b) 6 (c) 9 (d) 10

2. In the view, which State’s extraordinary growth has been highlighted?


(a) Orissa (b) Rajasthan (c) Bihar (d) HP
