Directions for the following 6 (six) items : Read the following two passages and answer the items that follow each passage. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.

Passage - 1 Accountability, or the lack of it, in governance generally, and civil services, in particular, is a major factor

underlying the deficiencies in governance and public administration. Designing an effective framework for accountability has been a key element of the reform agenda. A fundamental issue is whether civil services should be accountable to the political executive of the day or to society at large. In other words how should internal and external accountability be reconciled? Internal accountability is sought to be achieved by internal performance monitoring, official supervision by bodies like the Central Vigilance Commission and Comptroller and Auditor General and judicial review of executive decisions. Articles 311 and 312 of the Indian Constitution provide job security and safeguards to the civil services, especially the All India Services. The framers of the constitution had envisaged that provision of these safeguards would result in a civil service that is not totally subservient to the political executive but will have the strength to function in large public interest. The need to balance internal and external accountability is thus built into the constitution. The issue is where to draw the line. Over the years, the emphasis seems to have tilted in favour of greater internal accountability of the civil services to the political leaders of the day who in turn are expected to be externally accountable to the society at large through the election process. This system for seeking accountability to society has not worked out, and has led to several adverse consequences for governance.

Some special measures can be considered for improving accountability in civil services. Provisions of articles 311 and 312 should be reviewed and laws and regulations framed to ensure external accountability of civil services. The proposed Civil Services Bill seeks to address some of these requirements. The respective roles of professional civil services and the political executive should be defined so that professional managerial functions and management of civil services are depoliticized. For this purpose, effective statutory civil service boards should be created at the centre and in the states. Decentralization and devolution of authority to being government and decision making closer to the people also helps to enhance accountability.

1. According to the passage, which of the

following factor/ factors led to the adverse consequences for governance/ public administration? 1. Inability of civil services to strike a

balance between internal and external accountabilities

2. Lack of sufficient professional training to the officers of All India Services.

3. Lack of proper service benefits in civil services.

4. Lack of Constitutional provisions to define the respective roles of professional civil services vis-à-vis political executive in this context. Select the correct answer using the code given below

(a) 1 only (b) 2 and 3 only (c) 1 and 4 only (d) 2, 3 and 4

2. With reference to the passage the following

assumptions have been made: 1. Political executive is an obstacle to the

accountability of the civil services to the society.

2. In the present framework of Indian polity, the political executive is no longer accountable to the society.

Which of these assumptions is/ are valid? (a) 1 only (b) 2 only (c) Both 1 and 2 (d) Neither 1 nor 2

Passage – 2

In general, religious traditions stress our duty to god, or to some universal ethical principle. Our duties to one another derive from these. The religious concept of rights is primarily derived from our relationship to this divinity or principle and the implication it has on our other relationships. This correspondence between rights and duties is critical to any further understanding of justice. But for justice to be practiced; virtue, rights and duties cannot remain formal abstractions. They must be grounded in a community (common unity) bound together by a sense of common union (communion). Even as a personal virtue, this solidarity is essential to the practice and understanding of justice. 5. With reference to the passage, the following

assumptions have been made; 1. Human relationships are derived from

their religious traditions 2. Human beings can be duty bound only

if they believe in god 3. Religious traditions are essential to

practice and understand justice. Which of these assumptions(s) is/ are valid? (a) 1 only (b) 2 and 3 only (c) 1 and 3 only (d) 1, 2 and 3

6. Which one of the following is the crux of this

passage? (a) Our duties to one another derives from

our religious traditions (b) Having relationships to the divine

principle is a great virtue (c) Balance between rights and duties are

crucial to the delivery of justice in a society.

(d) Religious concept of rights is primarily derived from our relationship to god

Directions for the following 5 (five) items : Read the following two passages and answer the items that follow each passage. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.

Passage - 1 Biomass as fuel for power, heat and transport has the highest mitigation potential of all renewable

sources. It comes from agriculture and forest residues as well as from energy crops. The biggest challenge in using biomass residues is a long term reliable supply delivered to the power plant at reasonable costs: the key problems are logistical constraints and the costs of fuel collection. Energy crops, if not managed properly, compete with food production and may have undesirable impacts on food prices. Biomass production is also sensitive to the physical impacts of a changing climate.

Projections of the future role of biomass are probably overestimated, given the limits to the sustainable biomass supply, unless breakthrough technologies substantially increase productivity. Climate energy models projects that biomass use could increase nearly four fold to around 150-200 exajoules, almost a quarter of world primary energy in 2050. However the maximum sustainable technical potential of biomass resources (both residues and energy crops) without disruption of food and forest resources ranges from 80-170 exajoules a year by 2050, and only part of this is realistically and economically feasible. In addition some climate models rely on biomass based carbon capture and storage, an unproven technology to achieve negative emissions and to buy some time during the first half of the country.

Some liquid biofuels such a corn- based ethanol, mainly for transport, may aggravate rather than ameliorate carbon emissions on a life cycle basis. Second generation biofuels, based on lingo-cellulosic feedstocks- such as straw, bagasse, grass and wood - hold the promise of sustainable production that is high yielding and emit low levels of greenhouse gases, but these are still in the R and D stage.

21. What is/ are the present constraint/

constraints in using biomass as fuel for power generation? 1. Lack of sustainable supply of

biomass 2. Biomass production competes

with food production 3. Bio-energy may not always be

low carbon on a life cycle basis Select the correct answer using the code given below-

(a) 1 and 2 only (b) 3 only (c) 2 and 3 only (d) 1, 2 and 3

22. Which of the following can lead to

food security problem? 1. Using agricultural and forest

residues as feedstock for power generation.

2. Using biomass for carbon capture and storage

3. Promoting the cultivation of energy crops


(a) 1 and 2 only (b) 3 only (c) 2 and 3 only (d) 1, 2 and 3

We are witnessing a dangerous dwindling of biodiversity in our food supply. The green revolution is a

mixed blessing. Over time farmers have come to rely heavily on broadly adapted, high yield crops to the

exclusion of varieties adapted to the local conditions. Monocropping vast fields with the same genetically

uniform seeds helps boost yield and meet immediate hunger needs. Yet high-yield varieties are also generically

weaker crops that require expensive chemical fertilizers and toxic pesticides. In our focus on increasing the

amount of food we produce today, we have accidentally put ourselves at risk for food shortages in future.

25. Which among the following is the most logical and critical inference that can be made from the above

passage ?

(a) In our agricultural practices, we have become heavily dependent on expensive chemical fertilizers and toxic pesticides only due to green revolution.

(b) Monocropping vast fields with high-yield varieties is possible due to green revolution (c) Monocropping with high-yield varieties is the only way to ensure food security to millions. (d) Green revolution can pose a threat to biodiversity in food supply and food security in the long run

Passage - 2


Climate adaptation may be rendered ineffective if policies are not designed in the context of other development concerns. For instance, a comprehensive strategy that seeks to improve food security in the context of climate change may include a set of coordinated measures related to agricultural extension, crop diversification, integrated water and pest management and agricultural information services. Some of these measures may have to do with climate changes and others with economic development. 42. What is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage?

(a) It is difficult to pursue climate adaptation in the developing countries (b) Improving food security is a far more complex issue than climate adaptation (c) Every development activity is directly or indirectly linked to climate adaptation (d) Climate adaptation should be examined in tandem with other economic development options.

Passage - 3

Understanding of the role of biodiversity in the hydrological cycle enables better policy making. The term biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals, microorganisms and the ecosystems in which they occur. Water and biodiversity are interdependent. In reality the hydrological cycle decides how biodiversity functions. In turn vegetation and soil drive the movement of water. Every glass of water we drink has, at least in part, passed through fish, trees, bacteria, soil and other organisms. Passing through these ecosystems, it is cleansed and made fit for consumption. The supply of water is a critical service that the environment provides. 43. Which among the following is the most critical inference that can be made from the above passage?

(a) Biodiversity sustains the ability of nature to recycle water (b) We cannot get potable water without the existence of living organisms. (c) Plants and animals and microorganisms continuously interact among themselves (d) Living organisms could not have come into existence without hydrological cycle.

Passage - 4

In the last decade, the banking sector has been restructured with a high degree of automation and products that mainly serve middle class and upper middle-class society.

Which one of the following is the message that is essentially implied in the above passage?

(a) Need for more automation and more products of banks (b) Need for a radical restructuring of our entire products finance system (c) Need to integrate banking and non-banking institutions (d) Need to promote financial inclusion

Passage - 5


Safe and sustainable sanitation in slums has immeasurable benefits to women and girls in terms of their health, safety, privacy and dignity. However women do not feature in most of the schemes and policies on urban sanitation. The fact that even now the manual scavenging exists, the only goes to show that not enough has been done to promote pour-flush toilets and discontinue the use of dry latrines. A more sustained and rigorous campaign needs to be launched towards the right to sanitation on a very large scale. This should primarily focus on the abolition of manual scavenging. 45. With reference to the above passage, consider the following statements:

1. Urban sanitation problems can be fully solved by the abolition of manual scavenging only 2. There is a need to promote greater awareness on safe sanitation practices in urban areas Which of the statements given above is/ are correct? (a) 1 only (b) 2 only (c) Both 1 and 2 (d) Neither 1 nor 2

Passage - 6

To understand the nature and quantity of government proper for man, it is necessary to attend to his character. As nature created him for social life, she fitted him for the station she intended. In all cases she made his natural wants greater than his individual powers. No one man is capable, without the aid of society, of supplying his own wants; and those wants, acting upon every individual, impel the whole of them into society. 46. Which among the following is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above

passage? (a) Nature has created a great diversity in human society (b) Any given human society is always short of its wants (c) Social life is a specific characteristic of man (d) Diverse natural wants forced man towards social system

Passage - 7

Directions for the following 8 (eight) items : Read the following five passages and answer the items that follow each passage. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.

Passage - 1 As we look to 2050, when we will need to feed two billion more people, the question of which diet is best

has taken on new urgency. The foods we choose to eat in the coming decades will have dramatic ramifications for the planet. Simply put a diet that revolves around meat and dairy, a way of eating that is on the rise throughout the developing world, will take a greater toll on the world's resources than one that revolves around unrefined grains, nut, fruits and vegetables. 64. What is the critical message conveyed by the above passage?

(a) Our increasing demand for foods sourced from animals puts a greater burden on our natural

resources (b) Diets based on grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables are best suited for health in developing countries (c) Human beings change their food habits from time to time irrespective of the health concerns (d) From a global perspective, we still do not know which type of diet is best for us.

Passage - 2

All humans digest mother's milk as infants, but until cattle began being domesticated 10,000 years ago,

children once weaned no longer needed to digest milk. As a result, they stopped making the enzyme lactase,

which breaks down the sugar lactose into simple sugars. After human began herding cattle, it became

tremendously advantageous to digest milk, and lactose tolerance evolved independently among cattle herders in

Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Groups not dependent on cattle, such as the Chinese and Thai, remain

lactose intolerant.

65. Which among the following is the most logical assumption that can be made from the above passage?

(a) About 10,000 years ago, the domestication of animals took place in some parts of the world

(b) A permanent change in the food habits of a community can bring about a genetic change in

its members

(c) Lactose tolerant people only are capable of getting simple sugars in their bodies

(d) People who are not lactose tolerant cannot digest any dairy product

Passage - 3

"The conceptual difficulties in National Income comparisons between underdeveloped and industrialized

countries are particularly serious because a part of the national output in various underdeveloped countries is

produced without passed through the commercial channels."

66. In the above statement, the author implies that:

(a) the entire national output produced and consumed in industrialized countries passes through

commercial channels

(b) the existence of a non-commercialized sector in different underdeveloped countries renders the

national income comparisons over countries difficult

(c) No part of national output should be produced and consumed without passing through commercial

channels

(d) A part of the national output being produced and consumed without passing through commercial

channels is a sign of underdevelopment

Passage - 4

An increase in human made carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could initiate a chain reaction between plants and microorganisms that would unsettle one of the largest carbon reservoirs on the planet - soil. In a study, it was found that the soil, which contains twice the amount of carbon present in all plants and Earth's atmosphere combined, could become increasingly volatile as people add more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This is largely because of increased plant growth. Although a greenhouse gas and a pollutant, carbon dioxide also supports plant growth. As trees and other vegetation flourish in a carbon dioxide-rich future, their roots could stimulate microbial activity in soil that may in turn accelerate the decomposition of soil carbon and its release into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. 67. Which among the following is the most logical corollary to the above passage?

(a) Carbon dioxide is essential for the survival of microorganisms and plants (b) Humans are solely responsible for the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere (c) Microorganisms and soil carbon are mainly responsible for the increased plant growth (d) Increasing green cover could trigger the release of carbon trapped in soil

Passage - 5

Historically, the biggest challenge to world agriculture has been to achieve a balance between demand for and supply of food. At the level of individual countries, the demand supply balance can be a critical policy issue for a closed economy, especially if it is a populous economy and its domestic agriculture is not growing sufficiently enough to ensure food supplies, on an enduring basis; it is not so much and not always, of a constraint for an open and growing economy, which has adequate exchange surpluses to buy food abroad. For the world as a whole, supply-demand balance is always an inescapable prerequisite for warding off hunger and starvation. However, global availability of adequate supply does not necessarily mean that food would automatically move from countries of surplus to countries of deficit if the latter lack in purchasing power. The uneven distribution of hunger, starvation, under or malnourishment etc. at the world level, thus owes itself to the presence of empty pocket hungry mouths, overwhelmingly confined to the underdeveloped economies. Inasmuch as a two square meal' is of elemental significance to basic human existence, the issue of worldwide supply of food has been gaining significance, in recent times, both because the quantum and the composition of demand has been undergoing big changes, and because in recent years, the capabilities of individual countries to generate uninterrupted chain of food supplies have come under strain. Food production, marketing and prices, especially price-affordability by the poor in the developing world, have become global issues that need global thinking and global solutions. 68. According to the above passage, which of the following are the fundamental solutions for the world food

security problem? 1. Setting up more agro-based industries 2. Improving the price affordability by the poor 3. Regulating the conditions of marketing 4. Providing food subsidy to one and all Select the correct answer using the code given below: (a) 1 and 2 only (b) 2 and 3 only (c) 1, 3 and 4 only (d) 1, 2, 3 and 4
