4 Marks Questions

Question 1.
Read the given paragraph and comment.
In many parts of the count,y, girls’ education Is still given less priority by the parents as compared to boys’ education. kile guys may study for a few years, they may not complete their schooling.
Answer:
According to this paragraph two things are clearly mentioned that there is a gender bias with regard to giving education to boys and girls among the people of the country and the second one is only the Himachali Pradesh Government Is concentrating on girl education.

My opinion on these two issues is that the gender bas was there once In the society. As there is a vast awareness in the parents they send their daughters to the schools in many places. Even a rickshaw puller also wants to make his daughter study in a school.

He hopes his daughter becomes a professional. The parents are interested to send their children to English medium schools irrespective of their income and status. It shows their interest. A little bit fear about girls is there among them because of other reasons.

They are afraid of the safety of their daughters. Just like in Himachal Pradesh, other states are also spending much amount on education and schooling. It is accepted that the Himachal Pradesh state has taken the step earlier I don’t say that other slates are not taking steps to improve the conditions of schools for providing good education loi the girls.

It is a sensitive issue and ¡t is to be taken seriously to bring awareness among people to make the daughters admit in schools and the governments should consider the problems of girls In schools. Sufficient toilets and other facilities are to be provided so as to enroll all the girls ¡n schools.

Question 2.
Observe the given table and analyse the HDI data of India and its neighbours.
Some data regarding India and its neighbours for 2016

Answer:
The given table is about Human Development data of India and some of the neighbouring countries pertaining to 2016. In this table per capita income in dollars, life expectancy at birth and literacy rate are considered and HDI Ranking is given. In per capita income Sri Lanka stands high and in the same of life expectancy but in literacy Myanmar is better than Srilanka.

Pakistan is very poor in literacy rate and so Bangladesh. These countries do not show interest on literacy. In overall ranking Srilanka stands well, Pakistan’s ranking is least Countries should concentrate on what the people need proper medication, medical facilities to the poorer people, wide avallablitly of 104,108 services are essential in rural areas.

In Telangana, to some extent these services are provided. Each one teach one programme is to be maintained so that all people will be liberated. Schooling should be strengthened. Per capita income should be spent on Health facilities and education. Priorities are to be set first and proper planning for its implementation is essential. So that countries can be developed.

Question 3.
Read the following paragraph and write your opinion.
If you get a job in atar off place, you write try to consider many factors apart from income. This code be facilities by your family, working atmosphere or opportunity to learn. In another case, a job may give you less pay but may offer regular employment that enhances your sense of security. Another job, however, may offer high pay but no job security and also leave no time for your family. This will reduce your sense of security and freedom.
Answer:
According to lo this paragraph people give preference to income as well as facilities. They also want to spend time with their families. They need job security and freedom. It is not possible in all the cases.

Many workers from ln a are migrating even to foreign countries for getting work so as to earn something for their livelihoods. Some people are working in cities like Hyderabad by keeping their families at their hometowns. They are losing the opportunity of spending their time with their families, Their living conditions are also not good. Many of them are leading sedentary life.

In some cases pay is less but job is secure, How do they lead their lives with less payment? In some other cases, payment may be high but job security is not there. In our country, more than 90 percent of the workers employed in unorganized sector. They all face the problem of low wages.

Some people want to live with family members though the wages are less. The agricultural labourers are the example, They even migrate to some other villages along with their families. I don’t say that this is common to all the families. Whatever it is, I am coming to the conclusion that there are many factors that affect the livelihoods.

Question 4.
Read the following paragraph and write your comments.
When we looked at individual aspirations and goals, we found that people not  think of better income but also have goals such as security, respect of others, equal treatment, freedom, etc. Similarly, when we think of a nation or a region, we may think of other equally Important attributes besides Average Income.
Answer:
This paragraph is about the aspirations and goals of the individuals. The people want their income and they want to be treated well. Though the wages are well and good, they don’t want to be ill-treated.

Everyone in the society wants to live with dignity which our Constitution promises. It is the question of prestige and social status. Many of the labourers are now looking towards prestige. There are so many other equally important attributes. These are applicable not only to the individuals but for the nations and states also.

Some states in our country are getting more per capita income but they ere lacking in providing other facilities to the people. Nowadays schooling is very important to its children. For nations and states the literacy rate, net attendance rate, infant mortality rate are also considered n Its development. They have to provide schools, pollution free atmosphere, and unadulterated medicines, to its people for better living.

Individuals also think about security of job or income opportunities and self-respect. The employers also have to think on this and they should understand the aspirations of the individuals. If these are not fulfilled, there may be dissatisfaction among the workers and so it leads to improper outcomes of work.

Question 5.
Write a paragraph after reading the table.

Answer:
According to this table in the country A’, all the five persons are earning mostly equal monthly Income. In the country B’ the first four persons are earning only five hundred each but the fifth person is earning forty eight thousand rupees per month. If you are the fifth one it is OK but if you are one among the first four it will be worst to live in. If we consider the average, it will be the same as ten thousand per person per month. In these
two countries the country ‘A has more equitable distribution of income.

In many countries, more income is there with a few persons. Many people in the countries are poor. They don’t have minimum amount of income for their livelihoods. In the above table the average income of the two countries is the same but in B It Is not equally distributed. The Gross Domestic Product is to be distributed among the people of the country that means the poor also have to get their share in the country. The gap between the poor and the rich is to be removed and so the society of equality emerged.

Answer:

PROMOTING GIRL EDUCATION

Girls and boys in the society are equal but many of the parents give less importance to girl education compared to boys. This treatment of girls and boys in different ways is called gender bias. Some parents feel that boy is income and girl is expenditure. After marriage also the in-law’s family of the bride normally gives very less importance to her education. This is the wrong notion that the people have. It is to be removed.

The notion is to be changed. Many women have come forward to discharge their duties in political, educational and administrative areas. They are proving that they can ‘ do everything. In education also many girls are getting good results and ranks. Their number in civil services and other competitive examinations is rapidly increasing. If a girl is educated, she can manage her family herself well. She can educate her children.

Many women now are district collectors or police officers and administrative officers and a few banks are being run under the leadership of female authorities. Many departments are under their control. For many years it has been a custom that the women have to work at kitchen but it Is disproved, it they were given choice to do something they can do it as we expected.

All the parents should send their daughters to schools to study. They should be given an opportunity to show their intellect. All the parents should understand that their notion is to be changed and think positively about their daughters’ future.
