Question 13.
Read the following paragraph and interpret.
The first requirement for a country is to able to produce foodgrains for the whole of its population. How do we measure whether there is enough food for all or not? Whether this food reaches families or not would be examined later. We are at first estimating what is available. This means that per person (or per capita) availability of foodgrains in the country should be sufficient and also increasing over the years. Is the increase in foodgrain availability really happening?
(OR)
What are the ways in which the Black Americans protested with the government?
Answer:
According to the paragraph, every country should produce the food grains how much it needs. Every country should examine two things. The first one is how much foodgrains are produced in the country and the second one ¡s how it is reaching to the people. The government should check whether the food grains are sufficient to the people or not.

Many countries don’t concentrate on this sensitive issue. It is very primary thing to look into the matter of foodgrain production and its availability. If sufficient foodgrain production is there in a country definitely the stock in market will be sufficient and the prices will also be at normal level. When the production is less than the need or demand, automatically the prices go up. The rich can purchase but it will be the problem for the poor people and they can’t purchase.
(OR) .

  1. The Black Americans suffered a lot as the government permitted segregation in schools and buses.
  2. There was discrimination against them in appointments, housing and even in voting rights.
  3. They took up the Civil Rights Movement.
  4. It is of non-violent in nature.

v) Who are more in agricultural sector and why?
(Or)
Read the following paragraph and write your comment on It.
Over the past few decades, groundwater has become the main source of water especially for domestic use and agriculture. This tremendous increase in the use of groundwater has significant impact on water availability and access to it.
Answer:
i) 69%
ii) 47%.
iii) 53%
iv) Male are high in industrial sector, because of various reasons.

Some of them are:
1) Illiteracy of women.
2) Lack of mobility of women.
3) More number of women engaged in unorganized and informal sectors.
v) Women are more in agriculture. The reason for this is illiteracy among women is high. Most of them are in unorganized and informal sectors.
(OR)
According to this paragraph the groundwater level is the crucial on to all the people. The groundwater is useful for both domestic purpose and for agriculture. If groundwater is not available, there will be many problems.

My opinion is that because of modernization of agriculture motor pumps of high horsepower are being used. Very deep bore wells cause for drawing out water from the ground. Water has become a source of business, many multinational companies draw water and sell in the form of bottles. Water conservation is also a major issue and it is taken as a serious one. Every individual should think about the importance of water as it is useful to all people. Actually, once it was the common property. Now it has become individual property. Hence everyone should give importance to water. Otherwise, no one can get water.

(OR)
Read the following paragraph and write your opinion.
“Racism became common in the British colonial empire in late 19th and early 20th centuries. Educated Africans were excluded from the civil service and there was discrimination against African entrepreneurs. At the same time, the authorities from ruling country gave control to the tribal chiefs and elite and promoted them.
Answer:

  1. Both the League of Nations and the United Nations Organisation have been formed with the aim of elementary wars and settling disputes between countries through arbitration and negotiation.
  2. The league did not take the active ìnvoWement of the American Government, even though President Woodrow Wilson campaigned hard to popularise it.
  3. Having 58 members only at the peak level of its functioning shows that the influence of the league was less.
  4. Not inviting Germany and Russia to join the league was a big mistake.
  5. The league did not have a multinational army of its own. So, it could not take any action on erring nations.
  6. The UNO was more stronger than the league as its strength at formation in 1945 was 52 and reached 193 by 2013.
  7. The UNO was successful in preventing many wars and took necessary action, on countries which disturbed peace by maintaining an United Nations Peace Keeping Force (UNPKF).
  8. The UNO reached out the needs of the people in many countries as far as health, education and basic amenities were concerned. Thus we can say that UNO was more successful than the League of Nations.

(OR)
The colonial policy helped to promote modern education and administrative modernisation in the South while it allowed the pre-modern traditions to continue in the North. This, over the century, created much regional disparity and the North was not able to develop a modern educated social strata. in 1939 the British also separated the Yoruba and Igbo regions into Westërn and Eastern Nigeria and encouraged competition and conflict between the three major tribal groups so as to be able to ‘divide and rule’ the country.

Question 16.

Question 17.
Read the paragraph and write your opinion.
Most of the population increase in cities and towns took place as a consequence of natural growth within the urban areas. The population of these urban areas increased over time. Some of the growth in urban settlements took place by expansion, with the inclusion of rural areas surrounding older cities and towns. Only one-fifth of the growth is due to rural-to-urban migration.
(OR)
Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow.
Recent data on the status of groundwater resources in India suggests that the groundwater is under serious threat of overuse in many parts of the country. Nearly one-third of the country is pumping out more groundwater than what goes in as recharge. About 300 districts have reported a water level decline of over 4 meters during the past 20 years, which points to an alarming rate of extraction. Groundwater overuse is particularly found in the agriculturally prosperous regions of Punjab and western U.P., hard rock plateau areas of central and south India, some coastal areas, and the rapidly growing urban settlements.
i) How are these regions?
ii) Where is the groundwater overused?
iii) Compare the pumping out and recharge.
iv) What does the data suggest?
v) What happened in 300 districts?
Answer:
According to the paragraph given, the natural growth within the urban areas is more as the expansion is going on around the cities and towns. When a city or town expands the surrounding villages will be submerged in the city or town. The migration from rural areas is very less.

My opinion is that it is not common in all the cities and towns. In some cities and towns, it may be correct but in many areas, the migrants are more in number. They are coming from rural areas to urban areas. They have different reasons like livelihood, employment, children’s education, medical services for their chronic patients, dejection in agriculture, and others. When all these people come to cities and towns there will be many problems.

Government should take care of these problems and find solutions. Right to life is given by the Constitution but it is not affordable to all. Agriculture is to be given priority and so villagers or farmers may stay there. It will be useful to increase the agro products also.
(OR)

  • These regions are prosperous in agriculture.
  • In the regions of Punjab and western ILP., hard rock plateau areas of central and south India, some coastal areas and the rapidly growing urban settlements.
  • Nearly one-third ‘of the country is pumping out more groundwater than what goes in as recharge.
  • Recent data on the status of groundwater resources in India suggest that the groundwater is under serious threat of overuse in many parts of the country.
  • In 300 districts there was á decline of water level over 4 metres.
