Q2790390 Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:

As India’s water crisis gets visibly worse with every passing summer, the bureaucracy and policymakers are not working to find immediate and long-term
solutions. This time, the apathy seems to have worsened due to the ongoing elections. In Maharashtra and Kerala, for instance, the administrations have
taken refuge in the ‘model code of conduct’ for not taking steps to arrange for drinking water or fodder camps. Even though Maharashtra, Gujarat,
Karnataka, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan have declared many of their districts as drought hit, the requisite steps such as providing drinking water
and work under MGNREGA have yet to pick up. It hasn’t helped that the Centre altered the drought manual in 2016, making the parameters for declaring
drought more stringent. This has reduced the scope for Central assistance. Surprisingly, the NITI Aayog, which brought out its ‘Composite Water
Management Index’ last June and flagged the calamitous situation with respect to water, has not intervened in the interest of ‘cooperative federalism’. After
having rightly identified that “600 million people face high-to-extreme water stress; 75 per cent of households do not have drinking water on premises; and
70 per cent of our water is contaminated”, it could have initiated an action plan — instead of being content with merely ranking States on their performance
in water management. With well-endowed States such as Himachal Pradesh and Kerala facing water scarcity, it is obvious that the current apathy cannot
continue. It must be realised that while droughts bring upon a water crisis, floods do not necessarily mitigate it. The last four years have seen deficit
monsoon and post-monsoon (October-December) rainfall. Erratic rainfall, in terms of spatial and temporal distribution, must be accepted as a norm.

Q2790393 According to the passage, which of the following should be considered normal?

A) Wet Summers

D) Droughts

Q2790395 According to the passage, what could have made the Centre intervene?

Score Obtained : -0.25

Q2790392 What is the central idea of the passage?

Score Obtained : 1.0

A) Water Conservation is very important for human life. The society, the nation, the state and the people must collectively take steps to manage it.
B) With millions of people facing water crisis and rainfall becoming highly uneven, adequate steps have not been taken by the responsible in the States
and the Centre to manage water crisis.
C) The last four years have seen deficit monsoon and post-monsoon (October-December) rainfall. Erratic rainfall, in terms of spatial and temporal
distribution, must be accepted as a norm.
D) CSR activities by Public Sector Organizations and Multi-National Companies along with outreach by NGOs can play an important role in managing
drought crisis.

Q2791462 Direction: Read the following passage and answer the questions based on the information provided in the passage.
Positioned at the bottom of caste, class and gender hierarchies, Dalit women experience gender and caste discrimination and violence as the outcome of
severely imbalanced social, economic and political power equations. Their socio-economic vulnerability and lack of political voice, when combined with the
dominant risk factors of being Dalit and female, increase their exposure to potentially violent situations while simultaneously reducing their ability to escape.
According to the census of 2011, there are about 200 million Dalits, equivalent to about 16.6 per cent of India’s population. If approximately half are women,
it means that 100 million Dalit women face multiple forms of discrimination in this country. The UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women has
noted that Dalit women face targeted violence, even rape and death from state actors and powerful members of dominant castes, used to inflict political
lessons and crush dissent within the community... Among the major forms of violence against Dalit women. Six pertain to violence in the general
community (physical assault, verbal abuse, sexual harassment and assault, rape, sexual exploitation, forced prostitution, kidnapping and abduction) and
three pertain to violence in the family (female foeticide and infanticide, child sexual abuse, and domestic violence). Child sexual abuse can also take the
form of particularly early child marriages and sexual relations with minor Dalit girls below the age of 16 years. A recent three-year study of 500 Dalit
women’s experiences of violence across four Indian states revealed that the majority of Dalit women faced one or more incidents of sexual harassment and
assault (46.8 per cent), physical assault (54.8 per cent), verbal abuse (62.4 per cent), domestic violence (43.0 per cent) and rape (23.2 per cent). The
systemic nature of violence against Dalit women is accompanied by low rates of conviction. In 2006, the official conviction rate for Dalit atrocity cases in
general was just 5.3 per cent. The study of 500 Dalit women’s cases of violence revealed:

The accused were convicted by the courts in less than 1 per cent of cases.
In 17.4 per cent of the cases, the police obstructed the women from obtaining justice.

In 26.5 per cent of the cases, the perpetrators and their supporters, and/or the community at large, prevented the women from obtaining justice.

In 40.2 per cent of the cases, the women did not attempt to obtain legal or community remedies for the violence primarily out of fear of the perpetrators or
social dishonour (if sexual violence was revealed), or ignorance of the law, or the belief that they would not get justice. (Excerpt from the 11th session of the
Human Rights Council)
