Assume for the moment that there is no migration. In order to calculate these increases we examine two rates. (1) Birth rate is the number of live births per thousand persons in a year. In 1992, the birth rate in India was 29. This means that for every 1000 people living in the country during that year 29 live births took place. (2) Death rate is the number of deaths per thousand persons in a year. In the year 1992, for every 1000 persons living at that time, 10 people died during the year. Therefore 19 people for every 1000, was the addition during the year. This number can be expressed as a percentage, i.e. 1.9%. Hence we say that the population growth rate was 1.9% for the year 1992.

“Meira Paibi literally can be translated as ‘torch bearers This movement was to prevent public disorder due to alcohol abuse in the late 1970, but soon it became a movement of human rights against armed forces. The activists are not politically motivated, they are ordinary women who take on responsibility for the safety and well-being of community.”
Write a comment on the struggle of ordinary women in Mema Paibi movement.
Answer:
In order to increase the per hectare yield crop, necessary inputs have to be provided injudious manner. One way is to expand irrigation but use water in manner so that this vital resource is shared and made available to all. Planting drought – resistant crops as per local conditions, water harvesting and crop rotation are therefore used to raise production on a given piece of land.

Some scientists and people, working in the field of agriculture report that the way rice and wheat are cultivated in India by intensive and unscientific application of chemical fertilisers and insecticides have led to continuous but unsustainable increase in the yield levels. In fact, these methods have led to soil degradation and depletion of groundwater resources. If this continues, we may soon come to a situation that yields start falling rather than going up.
(OR)

1. Meira Paibi movement was led by ordinary women of Manipur to prevent the public disorder due to alcohol abuse during 1970s.

She ended the fast on 9th August, 2016, after 16 long years of fasting. Though the demands of the movement are not addressed completely, Supreme Court showed positive response to look into possibilities. We should admire and appreciate the efforts of women of Meira Paibi movement.

Question 14.
Observe the following graph and analyse it.

(OR)
What are the steps you suggest to turn your village into a model village like Hiware Bazar?
Answer:
The given pie – charts explain about the share of different sectors in employment and GDP i.e., Gross Domestic Product in the year 2015 -16.

2. The share of Industry in employment is 22% but its share in GDP is 28%.
3. The share of employment in services is 31% whereas its share in GDP is 53%.

Reasons for this are:

1. Decline in agriculture (Problems of seeds, rainfall, MSP, Powercut, water, etc).
2. Increase of Privatisation.
3. IT increased.
4. Mass production of goods by factories.
5. High payments for workers in service sectors.

(OR)
Our village is also in the rainfed region. We also face drought situations in summer. I wish to see our village as a model village like Hiware Bazar.

Steps I suggest:

1. The soil and water conservation works to be implemented on common lands and on private grasslands of our village.’
2. Continuous Contour Trenches (CCTs) are to be dug on the hill slopes to arrest the erosion of soil.
3. In these trenches, water should be harvested and growth of grass is to be encouraged.
4. Check dams, percolation tanks, loose boulder structures etc., should be constructed.
5. Plantations on forest lands and roadsides are to be taken up.
6. Tree felling and open grazing should be banned.
7. Imposing some control over landowners on the usage of groundwater.
8. Growing the seeds which can withstand droughts.
9. Implementing co-operative agriculture.
10. Digging Inkudu Guntalu in every house and thereby increasing the level of groundwater.

(Or)
Write about the national movements of India and Nigeria. What changes do you find in both these movements.
Answer:

1. The world during late 19th century was divided into nation-states.
2. They were grouped into power blocks and degenerated into war camps.
3. The process of nation formation accelerated the scramble among iñdustrialised nations for control over the world.
4. All nation-states wanted to have greater say in world diplomacy and their armies to back up national interests.
5. Two main blocks emerged were the Central Powers and the Allies.
6. Even enemies of the past like Austria and Italy or Britain and France formed the part of a same block.
7. Similar blocks continued till Second World War – the axis powers led by Germany and the allies led by Britain, the U.S.A., and the U.S.S.R.
8. Thus the formation of these blocks was a reckonable cause for world wars.

(OR)
a) Challenges faced by the independent Nigeria:
Nigeria became independent on 1st October, 1963. Unfortunately, ajust and democratic balance could not be worked out and soon Nigeria slipped into civil war and military rule which largely reinforced the domination of the north. Attempts were made repeatedly to bring in civilian and democratic governments but these failed again and again. Corruption and suppression of human rights went hand in hand with collaboration between the military regime and multinational oil corporations which funded the corrupt rulers. After a long haul of military dictatorship, Nigerians elected a democratic government in 1999. It remains to be seen how it faces the challenges of building a democratic Nigeria.
b) In many ways it is different from the challenges faced by independent India except corruption.

India faced the following challenges:

1. Overpopulation
2. Illiteracy
3. Lack of technical knowledge
4. Low utilization of natural resources, etc.

But the government is stable in India. The coordination between the government and the military is also ideal.
