Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
The Government will release a new foreign trade policy in the coming week, that
could include measures to help push up goods and services exports as well as rein
in the runaway import bill. The current trade policy was introduced in 2015. When
its five-year term ended a week after the national lockdown to curb the pandemic,
it was extended for a year considering the extenuating circumstances. Beginning
the new policy in the middle of a financial year, unlike the traditional clean
slate in a new fiscal year, is not ideal. Moreover, exports have been one of the
few growth engines firing up the post-COVID recovery, so putting off a policy to
bolster outbound shipments was baffling. Enunciating India’s strategy to cash in
on a world seeking to become less dependent on China would also enable exporters
(and importers) to plan their investments ahead.
This year, the Government expects goods exports to hit at least $450 billion, but
growth has slipped to the low single digits, while imports have been over $60
billion each month since March. A global growth slowdown and recession fears in
Europe and the U.S. do not augur well; and though order books are still full, many
buyers are seeking to defer deliveries. The new policy will have to find ways to
provide a leg-up to exports and address some of industry’s key concerns, including
a buffer against rising interest rates. With revenues buoyant, it is also time to
reconsider the stance to exclude key growth sectors such as pharma, chemicals, and
iron and steel from the duty remission scheme. Having decided to keep away from
the trade track of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for now, assertions that
the Government has ‘no bandwidth’ left for new free trade pact negotiations though
more countries are wooing it, and is seeking to slow talks with the Gulf
Cooperation Council, are unnecessary. If there is a genuine constraint, a solution
must be sought, perhaps, by roping in economic policy makers with residual
bandwidth. But surely, there are better ways to drive home India’s rising clout
than by driving away potential partner countries, however small.

Civilisations are often defined by their crafts, which are an outcome of beliefs
and practices of inhabitants of a particular period of time. And in the lineage of
crafts, toys play a huge role in reflecting the lifestyle of the people. Toys are
important not only from the folklore point of view, but also in knowing which
materials, art forms and traditions were prevalent in a geographical area. In
NIACL Administrative Officer (AO) Mains 2021 Previous Year Paper
Assam, the tradition of toy-making has a rich heritage that is worthy of mention.
It is prevalent across the length and breadth of the State, displaying distinct
characteristics in different regions.
Folk toys in Assam can be broadly classified into three different types based on
the materials used – clay toys, pith toys and toys made with bamboo, wood and
other materials. Among the folk toys found in Assam, clay toys occupy the foremost
position both in terms of numbers and variety, and are mainly made in the
Brahmaputra Valley. Clay toys are fully hand-modelled and rarely more than eight
to nine inches in height. They are either sun-baked, fire-baked without slip,
fire-baked with slip or painted. In terms of their form, human figures are more
commonly used. Though in some areas, particularly in South Kamrup, animal figures
appear quite frequently with the most common ones being figures of elephants,
horses, deer and birds.
Once made in most of the Lower Assam region, pith toy-making today is confined to
the westernmost part of the State where are a large number of toys of different
varieties along with other articles are still being produced. They have a well-
balanced structure, compositional symmetry and chromatic brilliance. The art of
pith-work is believed to have developed in Lower Assam and North Bengal where the
material was in natural abundance. What makes pith toys particularly attractive is
the use of extraordinary colour effects that are very bright and pleasing. The
most commonly used colours are red, yellow, black, green and blue, among others.
Most of the pith articles, whether images or paintings, are directly or indirectly
connected with the religious and semi-religious beliefs and practices of the area.
Assam, thus, has a rich history of toy-making. It has different forms of moulding,
and some shapes are unique to the region that give them an aesthetic appeal. As we
move ahead with the mechanical world, let us trace back our roots and explore more
toys and folklores.
