CHAPTER – 10-COMPARATIVE DEVELOPMENT
EXPERIENCE OF INDIA AND ITS NEIGHBOURS
CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS

Sl.No. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.
1 The comparison of China’s and India’s economic trajectory over the last four decades
reveals the massive potential of economic growth in these countries. Both the countries
started off their journey on the path of development at the same time and today are among
the fastest rising economies of the world, although still having different growth standing.
At present, most of the economic development indicators are the n China’s favour. It is the
second largest economy behind the US, when measured by normal GDP. China’s nominal
GDP, once almost equal to India’s is now $14.1 trillion, compared to $2.9 trillion for
India. This was because Deng Xiaoping initiated economic reforms in 1978, freeing up the
economy, starting with agriculture and land reforms, much before India did. China’s
reform and opening-up policies introduced private business and market incentives to what
was a state-led communist system urbanisation and massive influx of FDI in China also
contributed to the industrial modernization and improved competitiveness. No region in
China better encapsulates the success of this strategy than Shenzhen, which was at the
forefront of reform and transformed from a tiny fishing village into one of the most
dynamics cities

1.1 China introduced the reforms in the year --------------- (1978/1987) whereas,
India introduced economic reform in the year ---------------- (1981/1991).

1.2 In comparison to India, urbanisation is high in China with more than 56 percentage of
people living in urban areas. (state true or false).

1.3 Shenzhen is one of the largest ----------- (time zone /special economic zone) in China
which was set up in order to attract foreign investors.

1.4 -------------- was one of the industrial sector reforms initiated in China after 1978.

(a) great leap forward (b) dual pricing modal


(c) great proletarian culture (d) commune system

1|Page 8 October 2021,ZIET BHUBANESWAR


2 China and Pakistan have more people living in cities than those in India. One of the
reason for it is that in China, the area of cultivation is relatively small due to various
climate and topographic conditions. It is only about 10% of the total land mass. If we
compare its cultivable area with that in India, we shall find that China’s is only 40% of
that available in India. But the people dependent on agriculture in China were 80% of the
total population in the 1980’s. So, the government in China encouraged people to follow
occupation other than farming; these included handicrafts, commerce and transport.

2.1 Among India, China and Pakistan, -------------- has the lowest urbanisation.

2.2 In China, till 1980’s, most of the population were engaged in -----------------
(Primary/Secondary) sector.

2.3 The climate and topographical conditions in China is much favourable for agriculture.
(True/False)

2.4 China’s growth was mainly led by the ------------------ (Manufacturing/Service) sector
whereas India and Pakistan’s by --------------- (Agriculture/ Service) sector.

3 Though China is the largest nation and geographically occupies the largest area among the three
nations, its density is the lowest. Table 1.1 shows the population growth as being the highest in
Pakistan, followed by India and China. Scholars point out the one-child norm introduced in China
in the late 1970s as the major reason for low population growth. They also state that this
measure led to a decline in the sex ratio, the proportion of females per 1000 males. However,
from the table, your will notice that the sex ratio is low and biased against females in all three
countries. Scholars cite son preference prevailing in all these countries as the reason. In recent
times, all three countries are adopting various measures to improve the situation. One child norm
and the resultant arrest in the growth of population also have other implications. For instance,
after a few decades, in China, there will be more elderly people in proportion to young people.
This led China to allow couples to have two children.

The fertility rate is also low in China and very high in Pakistan. Urbanisation is high in China with
India having 34 per cent of its people living in urban areas.

China 1393 0.46 148 949 1.7 59
Pakistan 212 2.05 275 943 3.6 37

Answer the following questions


a) What is the important implication of the one child norm in China?
b) Which one of countries India, China and Pakistan has the highest density of
population per square km?
c) When was one child policy introduced in China?
d) In which country was urbanisation the highest among India, China and Pakistan?

4 Why did China introduced structural reforms in 1978? China did not have any compulsion to
introduce reforms as dictated by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund to India and
Pakistan. The new leadership at that time in China was not happy with the slow pace of growth
and lack of modernisation in the Chinese economy under the Maoist rule. They felt that Maoist
vision of economic development based on decentralisation, self-sufficiency and shunning of
foreign technology, goods and capital had failed. Despite extensive land reforms, collectivisation.
The Great Leap forward and other initiatives, the per capita grain output in 1978 was the same as
it was in the mid-1950s.

It was found that establishment of infrastructure in the areas of education and health, land
reforms. Long existence of decentralised planning and existence of small enterprises had helped
positively in improving the social and income indicators in the post reform period. Before the
introduction of reforms, there had already been massive extension of basic health services in
rural areas. Through the commune system, there was more equitable distribution of food grains.
Experts also point out that each reform measure was first implement at a smaller level and then
extended on a massive scale.

 Answer the following questions

a) _____________of farming means collective cultivation of land by farmers.


b) Name the program started in China with the aim of industrialisation.

c)When were reforms introduced in China?

d)Which revolution was introduced by Maoist in China?

Country Annual growth rate of Gender ratio(per 1000
population(2015) males)
India 1.2% 929
China 0.5% 941
(a)India’s annual growth rate of population is higher than that of China in

3|Page 8 October 2021,ZIET BHUBANESWAR


2015.(True/False)
(b) China’s gender ratio is favourable in comparison to India. ( True/False)

6 Answer the following questions on the basis of the given data:


Country Maternal mortality rate (per Life expectancy at
lakh births) birth(years)
India 174 68.3
China 27 76
(a) Maternal mortality rate in which country is highest?
(b) Life expectancy at birth is more in China than India.(True/False)

7 Read the following Case study carefully and answer the following questions:
China’s rapid industrial growth is an aggregate outcome of the various economic
reforms that were introduced in phases since 1978. In the initial phase, reforms were
initiated in agriculture, foreign trade and investment sectors. The system of collective
farming known as Commune System was implemented. In the later phase, reforms
were initiated in the industrial sector. During this phase, the private firms and village
and township enterprises were allowed to produce goods and services and to
compete with the State Owned Enterprises. The reforms also included dual pricing.
The dual pricing implies that the farmers and the industrial units were required to
buy and sell a fixed quantity of inputs and output at the price fixed by the
government and the remaining quantities were traded at the market price. As a
result, the quantities traded in the market increased by many folds. The reforms also
included setting up of Special Economic Zones to attract foreign investors. Therefore,
China’s rapid industrial growth is attributable to the success of different phases of its
economic reforms.

Q7(a) China adopted _______ as a model of growth.


a)Socialism b) Capitalism c) Statism d) Communism

Q7(b) In India, agricultural reforms have been far less effective than in China. (True/ False)

Q7(c) China's growth is mainly contributed by ______ sector.

4|Page 8 October 2021,ZIET BHUBANESWAR


a) Agriculture b) Manufacturing c) Service d) Mining

Q7(d) Great Leap Forward campaign was launched in China in _____ year.
a) 1948 b) 1958 c) 1968 d) 1978

8 Read the following Case study carefully and answer the following questions:
India, with democratic institutions, performed moderately, but the majority of its
people still depend on agriculture. Infrastructure is lacking in many parts of the
country. It is yet to raise the Standard of living of more than one-fourth of its
population that lives below the poverty line. On the other hand, the lack of political
freedom and its implications in China are the major concern in the last two decades.
The country used the market system without losing political commitment and
succeeded in raising the level of growth along with poverty alleviation. China used
the market mechanism to create additional social and economic opportunities.
