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 also in comparison with other nations. 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 procéed to implement, it is worthwhile elaborating on the idea of inclusive growth that constitutes the defining concept behind this Government's various economie 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 instrament 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-x) 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 @ 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 calculate 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 statistical summing up of the idea of inclusive growth, which, in turn, leads to 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. is a two corollaries :Preafeafera 5 (aa) werient & fore ger : Rreaterfiaa at oitedel a? vieg sik arte ates OD SIFY aed weet ae here | Br weTI Ve er FF ORR 7 BF sarees BH ARE | witedg -1 we & ad fae 3 Sa ge or ora 3 ge 4, aes ora Bai A ger a, 2 feats gon 8 | Reg ger Pret oneiate arya EB wed, wea area arfoaaead fe ga i afte dix fare aot ok we ag & ani Fi, ow aw fen feo nea we ae oftes omg er a, afters a ae agarn aera 8 1 Geter oie & vert & oh Fo a we, fae ei deer eC ak fk 8 aria ac A ver %, aradt dg & far a Rem a aan ards tn, ot fe ya acen Ht fifi anfis “Atel sit Poh & dts we Pres arco fifa are 8 1 erat Sal BaP cw aren Oy FA Hale wt Ue fra wr Fda Bot ww aaa 8 en des ont a wen & us Be Ra KF sean wen fear Ten 3 aT a a Shi Ht oa wT a ATA 21s aay & ani § ores ws a oar 2 a ae at A aa @, Hom age & am feed HA Hie 2, dt ae | at we 4, dehy we at om Hes wer Al we aE ta SET afte, =f ea mf aw tive ude Bw ares & BT tar we ae | a eae aida & agua aan at ast 3 owe wh, we wom & fe igh Th & sap & fare ora B-FVS-N-OCUB ah 8 oeg ae Gm vain we ai BL eat et A, age at aa SH aAftal st eA ait fat B weafs fear arn areas 8 at ae GPa ae fs saftrentiee cit dgfg Ht afer § enfta a, ott ae vi, fie teh frafaftat acer a fa ye om! cht F picts fee ot aroma % uniter dA sem @ ait a orem tS ae oma & wart agi & ye fear at ow fie gee eo 2 a om ae ater ae 8 fH RA Uy Ht sala a sah aad aha feed, screen, See aa Haat 20%, H saa & are HT STE | Serie & ya wae Pact ved RR Ht oft cafes over a ae oT weAT Baie sy FH gfeat ror ft Hor aah he Bae Tide feed 8 wake aval & ae ear antes epeten ar srrmers fer Sn wT eae ght orate 8, wife ag cgh A sa me ste ad afl deft fs go Tea YeTUAEg AEE 3 ft ort ft | ag wa ween & ame aia feat Ft ora At gE wt A Gach 2 | ae gifts aah 8 fi 88 cet af stent we feet vied feed a art Fi om der A, at were 2 fe 2 cin of ee fraud oad free 4 a ont ok we ven oom & end FH afte ar cher eer aa Sad | sa HR Tet GATE my Ares wee agfy & fara wr aifextrr warmers & ot often: a suftaidl A ik A ord 2 3@ sen wer ores eT a TT xf tofg wa wd wma at oh wR ghifvas ee % fer ard at fh aigie 3 aed ada feed anna gt (3-x)‘The author's central focus is on {a) applauding India’s economic growth not only against its own past performance, but against other nations.

While the overall parameters of climate change are increasingly aevepted 1°C_ average temperature increase over the next. 30 years, sea —a level rise of less than 10 em in the same period, regional variations corresponding droughts — the impacts in India are likely to be quite site and crop specific. Some and ‘monsoon and crops may respond favourably. to the changing conditions, others may not, This emphasizes the need to promote agricultural research 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 crops (eg. wheat), it may also be necessary to shift the locations where these crops are 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, water runoff from the Himalayas is predicted to increase over the next 80 years as glaciers melt, but then decline substantially thereafter. It will be critical to provide incentives to plan for these large-scale Shifts in agro-ecological conditions.

Mitigation would require a major shift in the way we produce and consume energy. A shift away 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 create technological solutions for harnessing these resourees. ‘One particular trajectory for carrying out stringent mitigation of greehouse 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 2018 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 3 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 most. This is clearly not a very-high price to pay for protecting hundreds of millions of people from the worst risks associated with Glimate, change. Any such effort, however, would require lifestyles to change appropriately also. Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions 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 as 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 buge 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 riatural resources and other related challenges. These aspects may be exacerbated due to the impact of climate change. It is possible that climate change may adveriely impact the Himalayan ecosystem through increased temperature, altered precipitation patterns, episodes of drought and biotie 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 endemies with restricted distribution, and most often with specialized habitat requirements, are among the most vulnerable elements. In this respect the: Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, with rich endemic diversity, is vulnerable to climate change. The threats include possible loss of genetic resources and species, habitats and concomitantly a Therefore, ‘conservation of endemic elements in representative ecosystems/habitats assumes a great significance while drawing conservation plans for the region. decrease in ecosystem services. B-FVS-N-OCUB ‘Towards achieving the above, we will have to shift toward contemporary conservation approaches, which include a paradigm of landscape level interconnectivity between protected area systems, The concept advocates a shift from the ‘species-habitat focus to an inclusive focus on ‘expanding the biogeographic range so that natural adjustments to climate change can proceed without being restrictive. 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, Which of the statements given ‘above is/are correct ?

But the basic philosophy investment domestic B-FVS-N-OCUB (20 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 all, 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 policy actions on the domestic front and are not directly related to the core items of the globalization agenda, namely free international flow of goods and finance. 30.

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 Brazil, China and India after the liberalisation of their economies is proof of its enormous potential and success, However, the global banking erisis 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 reinforees the other. Surely, a more honest conceptualisation of the conflicts of interest among 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.

While the public sector or the State-led entrepreneurship played an important role in triggering India’s industrialization, our evolving development needs, comparatively less-than-satisfactory performance 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 policies would suggest that the time has come to review the role of publie 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 did 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, preservation and ‘improvement of forest cover will have to be a 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 tmultiple 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 bankruptey 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.
