(OR)
Read the following paragraph and state your opinion on it.
Encroachment of public lands for cultivation is common. It results in more land being brought under cultivation at the expense of tree cover. Rampant felling of trees and mining activity is resulting in forest degradation, along with the destruction of the habitat of highly threatened flora and fauna. Inflows of groundwater depend on the tree cover in the catchment areas Inadequate tree cover leads to water run-off as surface flow without getting a chance to recharge the underground system. Moreover, this also causes flash floods. If we wish to be fair to both the rainfed and canal irrigated regions, we must adopt a different plan for water conservation and a system of sharing water.
Answer:
i) The two main differences are 1) Working hours, 2) Salaries.
ii) Banking and Financial Institutions will come under the organized sector of economy.
iii)

• Laundry,
• Tailoring Shop,
• Agarbathi Making,
• Beedi Making.

iv) Hand Paper manufacturing will come under unorganized sector of economy.

2. The felling of trees and other mining activities threatened flora and fauna.
3. Inadequate free cover leads to water runoff.
4. There is less chance for recharging groundwater.
5. It causes flash floods.
6. The felling of trees threatened flora and fauna.
7. Hence we must be alert and adopt a different plan for water conservation.

Question 15.
What steps would you suggest to prevent these World Wars among the countries?
(OR)
Read the given paragraph and write your opinion.
The coastal environment of Nigeria has been disturbed because of reckless oil extraction by foreign oil companies. Oil spillage from oil wells has a major impact on the ecosystem.
Answer:
To prevent World Wars, all the countries on the earth must follow the following steps:

1. The countries one and all should give up their attitude of aggressive nationalism.
2. Every country should be ready to disarmament action of itself.
3. All the countries should promise to stop the usage of nuclear and chemical weapons.
4. Every country should respect the sovereignty and integrity of all other countries.
5. Every country, should pledge not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
6. Countries must negotiate or go to International Court of Justice in case of disputes, but not to resort to wars.

(OR)
In my opinion oil spillage from oil wells has a major impact on the ecosystem large tracts of the mangrove forests, which are especially susceptible to oil have been destroyed. An estimated 5 – 10% of Nigerian mangrove ecosystems have been wiped out either by clearing or oil. Spills destroy crops and aquaculture through contamination of groundwater and soils. Drinking water is also frequently contaminated and a sheen of oil is visible in many local bodies of water.

If the drinking water is contaminated, even if no immediate health effects are apparent, it can cause in long-term cancer. Offshore spills, which are usually much greater in scale contaminate coastal environments and cause a decline in local fish production.

Question 16.
What are the recommendations of T.N. Seshan?
(OR)
How is the President of India under the Draft Constitution?
Answer:
Mr.T.N.Seshan was the one of the prominent election commissioners in India. He was recommended some reforms in the election commission.

1. 14-day time limit of campaigning after the date of withdrawal of nominations.
2. One candidate should not contest from more than two constituencies at a time.
3. If any candidate is punished for 2 years, he/she is barred from contesting elections for the next 6 years.
4. If the contesting candidate expires, the election shall be postponed not to be but abolished.
5. After completion of campaign time, sale of liquor shall be banned for 48 hours.

(OR)
Under the Draft Constitution, the President occupies the same position as the King under the English Constitution. He is the head of the State but not of the Executive. He represents the Nation but does not rule the Nation. He is the symbol of the nation. His place in the administration is that of a ceremonial device or a seal by which the nation’s decisions are made known. President of the United States is not bound to accept any advice tendered to him by any of his Secretaries. The President of the Indian Union will be generally bound by the advice of his Ministers. He can do nothing contrary to their advice nor can he do anything without their advice. The President of the Indian Union has no power to do so long as his Ministers command a majority in Parliament.

Question 17.
Write briefly about urbanization in India.
(OR)
Read the following paragraph and write your opinion.
For most rural communities, the link between the environment and the lives of the people is very strong. Access to environment serves a large number of their needs (like food, firewood, fodder, economically valuable articles, etc.,) which otherwise they would have to pay for. As they lose this access to environment either because of displacement or because the environment is destroyed and polluted, the poor are the greatest sufferers. The question of environment and sustainability is intimately connected to the issue of equity.
Answer:
In India, nearly 350 million, i.e., one-third of population lives in cities and towns. People have been increasingly taking up non agricultural work and living in cities and towns, this is called urbanisation. A considerable section of population in the 1950s lived in 5.6 lakh villages and there were only 5 cities that had a population of more than I million each and the number of cities with 1 lakh population was about 40. Today the number of villages has increased to 6.4 lakhs and about 850 million people live in these villages. There are more than 50 cities that have a population of 1 million.
(OR)
According to the paragraph given here, the rural people are attached with environment for their food and other cçmmodities. When there is a displacement they don’t have this facility of getting commodities. These poor people suffer a lot when the environment is destroyed and polluted.

My opinion on this paragraph is that many a time it is happening in many places. When the placement takes place, the forest dwellers have to face many problems. They don’t have sufficient food and land for cultivation. They don’t get loans as they are new to the money lenders of that place. The banks also don’t give loans as they have no collateral. They are forced to vacate the place and so they don’t have access to their commodities. They have to pay money for everything. Most of these people are very poor. Their relation between forest and livelihood is inseparable. The rural women go to forest areas or nature and collect their firewood and fodder for their regular use.

The government should think about the troubles of these people when they are asked to move from their living places. I am not opposing to construct dams and projects but the displacement should not lead to troubles. Alternate arrangements should be made keeping their problems in mind.
