Section E
42) Read the following passage and answer the questions that follows:
The food insecure people are disproportionately large in some regions of the
country, such as economically backward states with high incidence of poverty,
tribal and remote areas, regions more prone to natural disasters, etc. In fact, the
states of Uttar Pradesh (Eastern and South-eastern parts), Bihar, Jharkhand,
Odisha, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, parts of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra
account for largest number of food insecure people in the country. Hunger is
another aspect indicating food insecurity. Hunger is not just an expression of
poverty, it brings about poverty. The attainment of food security therefore
involves eliminating current hunger and reducing the risks of future hunger.
Hunger has chronic and seasonal dimensions. Chronic hunger is a consequence of
 diets persistently inadequate in terms of quantity and/or quality. Poor people
suffer from chronic hunger because of their very low income and in turn inability
to buy food even for survival. Seasonal hunger is related to cycles of food
growing and harvesting. This is prevalent in rural areas because of the seasonal
nature of agricultural activities and in urban areas because of casual labourers,
e.g., there is less work for casual construction labourers during the rainy season.
This type of hunger exists when a person is unable to get work for the entire year.
a. How can food security be attained?
b. Why do poor people suffer from chronic hunger?
c. Which type of hunger is prevalent in rural areas?
43) Read the extract given below and answer the questions that follows:

Drought affects the life of pastoralists everywhere. When rains fail and pastures
are dry, cattle are likely to starve unless they can be moved to areas where forage
is available. That is why, traditionally, pastoralists are nomadic; they move from
place to place. This nomadism allows them to survive bad times and avoid crises.
But from the colonial period, the Maasai were bound down to a fixed area,
confined within a reserve, and prohibited from moving in search of pastures. They
were cut off from the best grazing lands and forced to live within a semi-arid
tract prone to frequent droughts. Since they could not shift their cattle to
places where pastures were available, large numbers of Maasai cattle
died of starvation and disease in these years of drought. An enquiry in
1930 showed that the Maasai in Kenya possessed 720,000 cattle,
820,000 sheep and 171,000 donkeys. In just two years of severe drought,
1933 and 1934, over half the cattle in the Maasai Reserve died.

b. According to the enquiry of 1930 show the no of animals possessed
by the maasai in Kenya.
