Question 4
Read the following passage carefirlly and answer the questions that follow:
They pass me everyday, on their way to school-boys and girls from the surrounding viilages and the
outskirts of the hill station. There are no school buses plying for these children : they walk.
For many of them, it's a very long walk to school.
Ranbir, who is ten, has to climb the mountain from his village, four miles distant and two thousand feet
below the town level. He comes in all weathers, wearing the same pair of cheap shoes until they have almost
fallen apart.
Ranbir is a cheerfirl soul. He waves to me whenever he sees me at my window. Sometimes he brings me
cucumbers from his father's field. I pay him for the cucumbers; he uses the money for books or for small
things needed at home.
Many of the children are like Ranbir-poor, but slightly better off than what their parents were at the same
age. They cannot attend the expensive residential and private schools that abound here, but must go to the
government aided schools with only basic facilities. Not many of their parents managed to go to school.
They spent their lives working in the fields or delivering milk in the hill station. The lucky ones got into the
army. Perhaps Ranbir will do something different when he grows up.
He has yet to see a train but he sees planes flying over the mountains almost every day.
"How far can a plane go?" he asks.
"A11 over the world," I tell him. "Thousands of miles in a day. You can go almost anywhere."
"I'11 go round the world one day," he vows. "I'11 buy a plane and go everywhere!"
And may be he will. He has a determined chin and a defiant look in his eye.
Up to a few years ago, very few girls in the hills or in the villages of India went to school. They heiped in
the home until they were old enough to be married, which wasn't very old. But there are now just as many
girls as there are boys going to school.
Bindra is something of an extrovert---confident fourteen year old who chatters away as she hurries down the
road with her companions. Her father is a forest guard and knows me quite well: I meet him on my walks
through the deodar woods behind Landour. And I had grown used to seeing Bindra almost every day. When
she did not put in an appearance for a week. I asked her brother if anything was wrong.
"Oh, nothin1," he says, "she is helping my mother cut grass.
Soon the monsoon will end and the grass will dry up. So we cut it now and store it for the cows in winter."
"And why aren't you cutting grass too?"
"Oh, I have a cricket match today," he says, and hurries away to join his team mates. Unlike his sister, he
puts pleasure before work!
Cricket, once the game of the elite has become the game of the masses. On any holiday, in any part of this
vast corurtry, groups of boys can be seen making their way to the nearest field, or open patch of land, with
bat, ball and any other cricketing gear that they can cobble together. Watching some of them play; I am
amazed at the quality of talent, at the finesse with which they bat or bowl. Some of the local teams are as
good, if not better, than any from the private schools, where there are better facilities. But boys from these
poor or lower middle-class families will never get the exposure that is necessary to bring them to the
attention of those who select state or national teams. They will never get near enough to the men of
influence and power. They must continue to play for the love of the game, or watch their more fortunate
heroes' exploits on television.

Petroleum companies sell their products through dealers who have heir retail outlets as filling stations
or petrol pumps. These retail outlets offer other services to the customers. The public sector units in
petroleum like lndian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation limited and Hindustan Petroleum
Corporation limited have different dealers all over the country. These companies have to ensure quality
products to its customers. The BPCL has started a certification campaign Pure For Sure which guarantees
quality to consumers to persuade them to switch over to their filling stations. They have addressed the
problem from retail angle. The company took full responsibility for their products and decided a
certification programme for all their dealers. This ensured quality products and increased sales at these
retail outlets. Fuel retailing is also a specialized process and BPCL has definitely recognized the
potentiality of the market. A number of retail stores are coming up at these fuel stations also. These are
new concepts in fuel retailing. Modern looking pumps make consumers less suspicious and they feel
they are not cheated on quality and quantity.
Retail outlets in petroleum business are either Company Owned Company Operated (COCO) or
Company Owned Dealer Operated (CODO) or Dealer Owned Dealer Operated (DODO). The
government's decision to allow private sector to enter petroleum refineries has given rise to a demand
for retail outlets for these private sector refineries. The Reliance Petroleum ltd. (RPL) has plans to buy
out dealer owned, dealer operated outlets of PSU oil majors, which is going to be a part of RpL's retail
network. RPL is depending upon PSU oil majors to lift sizeable quantities of its product from its
Jamnagar refinery to market it.
