How can we make the numbers add up ? Experts say higher yielding crop varieties and more efficient farming methods will be crucial, So will waste reduction. Experts urge cities to reclaim nutrients and water from B-AQN-O-KYB waste streams and preserve farmland.

In terms of numbers, it is the highest in the world — nearly 16 lakhs every year. Of these, more than half die in the first month of life. Officials believe that the reason for this is the absence of steps to propagate basic health practices relating to breast feeding and immunisation. Also the large reproductive population of 26 crore remains bereft of care during the critical phases of pregnancy and post-delivery. Added to this is the prevalence of child marriages, anaemia among young women and lack of focus on adolescent sanitation, all of which impact child death rates. 4. Which is the eritical inference that can be made from the above passage ? {a) A lot of Indians are illiterate and hence do not recognize the value of basic health practices. (b) India has a very huge population and the government alone cannot manage public health services. (©) Universalization and integration of maternal health and child health services can effectively address the problem (d) The nutrition of women in child bearing age does not affect child mortality rate. B-AQN-O-KYB (4- Passage -5 Foods travel more than the people who eat them. Grocery stores and supermarkets are loaded with preserved and processed foods. This, however, often leads to environmental threats, such as pollution generated by long distance food transportation and wastage of food during processing and transportation, destruction of rain forests, reduced nutritional content, increased demand for preservation and packaging. Food insecurity also increases as the produce comes from regions that are not feeding their own population properly. 5. With reference to the above passage, which of the following statements is/are true ? 1, Consuming regionally grown food and not depending on long travelled food is a part of eco-friendly behaviour. 2.

In fact I can see that, on the contrary, it has been all to my advantage. My hesitancy in speech, which was once an annoyance, is now a pleasure. Its greatest benefit has been that it ‘has taught me the economy of words. I have naturally formed the habit of restraining my thoughts. And I can now give myself the certificate that a thoughtless word hardly ever escapes my tongue or pen. I do not recollect ever having had to regret anything in my speech or writing. I have thus been spared many a mishap and waste of time. Experience has taught me that silence is part of the spiritual discipline of a votary of truth. Proneness to exaggerate, to suppress or modify the truth, wittingly or unwittingly, is a natural weakness of man, and silence is necessary in order to surmount it. A man of few words will rarely be thoughtless in his speech; he will measure every word. We find ‘80 many people impatient to talk. There is no chairman of a meeting who is not pestered with notes for permission to speak. And whenever the permission is given the speaker generally exceeds the time-limit, asks for more time, and keeps on talking without permission. All this talking can hardly be said to be of any benefit to the world. It is so much waste of time. My shyness has been in reality my shield and buckler. It has allowed me to grow, It has helped me in my discernment of truth. B-AQN-O-KYB 6. (6-A) The author says that a thoughtless word hardly ever escapes his tongue or pen. Which one of the following is not a valid reason for this? (a) He has no intention to waste his time. (b) He believes in the economy of words. (c) He believes in restraining his thoughts. (d) He has hesitancy in his speech, ‘The most appropriate reason for the author to be spared many a mishap is that (@) he hardly utters or writes a thoughtless word. {b) he isa man of immense patience, {e) he believes that he is a spiritual person. (d)heis.a votary of truth. For the author, silence is necessary in order to surmount (a) constitutional shyness. (b) hesitancy in speech. (©) suppression of thoughts. {d) _ tendency to overstate.vufceae - 6 five dm oe aoa gf R annie wofiava & ar, faara aer-wel ered aT TA art &, Aa fret of ace ok ae ATs FE GT | area 4, a7 ya cre @, fe sah fata, ya Fo waa & ge | ated ate ga yet PLAT AT, Fe Ha BoM 2 | Fe Tae aS.

Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage -1 ‘The richer States have a responsibility to cut down carbon emissions and promote clean energy investments, These are the States that, got electricity, grew faster and now have high per capita income, making them capable of sharing India’s burden of becoming eco-friendly. Delhi, for example, can help by generating its own clean electricity using solar rooftop panels or even help poor States finance their clean energy projects. It is no secret that State Electricity Boards, which control 95% of the distribution network, are neck-deep in losses. These losses further discourage State utilities from adopting renewable energy as it is more expensive than fossil fuels. 21. Which among the following is the most logical and rational assumption that can be made from the above passage ? ‘The richer States must lead in the production and adoption of renewable energy. la (b) The poor States always have to depend on rich States for electrieity. ic) The State Electricity Boards can improve their finances by undertaking clean energy projects.

A research study was conducted in a particular area in which electronic wage payments in Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) are meant to go directly to the poor. It was observed that recipients often assume that the village leader needs to mediate the process, as was the case under the previous paper-based system. Among households under this research study area who claimed to have at least one bank account, over a third reported still receiving MGNREGS wages in cash directly from a village leader. 26, What is the most logical, rational and crucial message that is implied in the above passage ? (a) MGNREGS should be extended only to those who have a bank account. (b) The paper-based system of payments is more efficient than electronic payment in the present scenario. (©) The goal of electronic wage payments was not to eliminate mediation by village leaders.

Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage -~1 Climate change is already making many people hungry all over the world, by disrupting crop yields and pushing up prices. And it is not just food but nutrients that are becoming scarcer as the climate changes. It is the poorest cominuunities that will suffer the worst effects of climate change, including increased hunger and malnutrition as crop production and livelihoods are threatened. On the other hand, poverty is a driver of climate change, as desperate communities resort to unsustainable use of resources to meet current needs. 41. Which among the following is the most logical corollary to the above passage ? (a) Government should allocate more funds to poverty alleviation programmes and increase food subsidies to the poor communities. (b) Poverty and climate impacts reinforce each other and therefore we have to re-imagine our food systems. (©) All the countries of the world must vnite in fighting poverty and malnutrition and treat poverty as a global problem, (d) We must —stop_-—_unsustainable agricultural practices immediately and control food prices.

Many ingested germs and worms spread diseases. They prevent the body from absorbing calories and nutrients. Nearly one-half of India’s children remain malnourished. Lakhs of them die from preventable conditions. Diarrhoea leaves Indians’ bodies smaller on average than those of people in some poorer countries where people eat fewer calories. Underweight mothers produce stunted babies prone to sickness who may fail to develop their full cognitive potential. The germs released into environment harm rich and poor alike, even those who use latrines, 43, Which among the following is the most critical inference that can be made from the above passage ? (a) The Central and State governments in India do not have enough resources to afford a latrine for each household. th) Open defecation is the most important public health problem of India. (c) Open defecation reduces the human capital of India’s workforce. (2) Open defecation is a public health problem in all developing countries, B-AQN-O-KYB, (24 Passage - 4 We generally talk about democracy but when it comes to any particular thing, we prefer a belonging to our casie or community or religion. So long as we have this kind of temptation, our democracy will remain a phoney kind of demoeracy. We must be in a position to respect a man as a man and to extend opportunities for development to those who deserve them and not to those who happen to belong to our community or race. This fact of favouritism has been responsible for much discontent and ill-will in our country 44, Which one of the following statements best sums up the above passage ? (a) Our country has a lot of diversity with its many castes, communities and religions (b) True democracy could be established by providing equal opportunities to all (©) So far none of us have actually understood the meaning of democracy. (a) It will never be possible for us to establish truly democratic governance in our country. Passage ~5 The existence/establishment of formal financial institutions that offer safe, reliable, and alternative financial instruments is fundamental in mobilising savings. To save, individuals need access to safe and reliable finaneial institutions, such as banks, and to appropriate financial instruments and reasonable financial incentives. Such access is not always available to all people in developing countries like India and more so, in rural areas. Savings help poor households manage volatility in cash flow, smoothen consumption, and build working capital. Poor households without access to a formal savings mechanism encourage immediate spending temptations.

Discretionary powers to the administration can be done away with. It is becoming more and more difficult to keep this power within limits as the government has many number of tasks to perform. Where discretion has to be used, there must be rules and safeguards to prevent misuse of that power, Systems have to be devised which minimise, if not prevent, the abuse of discretionary power. Government work must be conducted within a framework of recognised rules and principles, and decisions should be similar and predictable. B-AQN-O-KYB 41, 48, 49.

Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only, Passage -1 India has suffered from persistent high inflation. Increase in administered prices, supply imbalances, imported inflation aggravated by rupee depreciation, and speculation — have combined to keep high inflation going. If there is an element common to demand and all of them, it is that many of them are the outcomes of economic reforms. India’s. vulnerability to the effects of changes in international prices has increased with trade liberalisation. The effort to reduce subsidies has resulted in a continuous inerease in the prices of commodities that are administered, 1. What is the most logical, rational and erucial message that is implied in the above passage ? (a) Under the present circumstances, India should completely avoid all trade liberalisation policies and all subsidies, Due to its peculiar socio-economic situation, India is not yet ready for trade liberalisation process. (by (©) There is no solution in sight for the problems of continuing poverty and inflation in India in the near future. (d) Economie reforms can often create a high inflation economy. Passage -2 No Right is absolute, exclusive or inviolable. ‘The Right of personal property, similarly, has to be perceived in the larger context of its assumed legitimacy. ‘The Right of personal property should unite the prinefple of liberty with that of equality, and both with the principle of ‘cooperation. B-AQN-O-KYB. 62. In the light of the argument in the above passage, which one of the following statements is the most convincing explanation ? (a) The Right of personal property is a Natural Right duly supported by statutes and seriptures. (b) Personal property is a theft and an instrument of exploitation. The Right of personal property is therefore violative of economic justice. (©) The Right of personal property is violative of distributive justice and negates the principle of cooperation. (4) The comprehensive idea of economic justice demands that the Right of each person to acquisition of property has to be reconciled with that of others. Passage ~3 ‘The conflict between man and State is as old as State history. Although attempts have been made for centuries to bring about a proper adjustment between the competing claims of State and the individual, the solution seems to be still far off. This is primarily because of the dynamic nature of human society where old values and ideas constantly yield place to new ones, It is obvious that if individuals are allowed to have absolute freedom of speech and action, the result would be chaos, ruin and anarehy 63. The author's viewpoint can be best summed up in which of the following statements ? (a) The conflict between the claims of State and individual remains unresolved. (o) Anarchy and chaos are the obvious results of democratic traditions. (c) Old values, ideas and traditions persist despite the dynamic nature of human society. (@) Constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech is not in the interest of society.

All actions to address climate change ultimately involve costs. Funding is vital for countries like India to design and implement adaptation and ‘mitigation plans and projects. Lack of funding is a large impediment to implementing adaptation plans. The scale and magnitude of the financial support required by developing countries to their domestic mitigation and adaptation actions are a matter of intense debate in the multilateral negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Convention squarely puts the responsibility for provision of financial support on the developed countries, taking into account their contribution to the stock of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. Given the magnitude of the task and the funds required, domestic finances are likely to fall short of the current and projected needs of the developing countries. Global funding through the multilateral mechanism of the Convention will enhance their domestic capacity to finance the mitigation efforts. enhance 64.
