Test – III: English Language

Directions (Q. 71-80):  Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.  Certain words/phrases have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

About 46 million, or 20%, of India’s youth are unemployed.  Of this, 32% of all young graduates are unemployed.  300 million youngsters will enter the labour force by 2025, even as jobs remain sparse.  Protest movements in 2011-12, from Tahrir Square in Egypt to the Ram Lila Maidan in New Delhi and the Occupy Wall Street New York, focused on youth discontent at the lack of opportunities and distrust of the political and economic elite.  2015 could see something more radical.

India’s young people have been a limited policy concern for our administrator since Independence.  The Planning Commission recognized the youth as the most vital section of the community (Visaria, 1998), referencing unemployment as their most challenging problem.  The first National Youth Policy was formulated in 1988, again recognizing the removal of unemployment as being critical.

The National Youth Policy, 2003, sought to galvanise young people to rise up to new challenges.  India’s latest National Youth Policy was released in February 2014, with the government outlining its objectives across priority areas to achieve better results on its annual expenditure of 90,000 crore on youth across various targeted and non-targeted schemes.

Implementation of such well-meaning objectives has been historically patchy.  A Plan of action (PoA) was to be formulated across various ministries and departments within six months of this new government, followed by the constitution of a Youth Council, comprising exceptional young people from across the country to oversee its implementation and formulation of a set of key short-term and long-term success indicators.  The ministry of youth affairs and sports is still in the process of formulating the PoA, youth councils have not been appointed, while the creation of state-level youth policies lags significantly.

A National Youth Policy would articulate the nation’s aspirations for its youth to grow up safe, healthy, happy and resilient, while working towards a socially productive empowering young people to build their own lives, enabling them to take responsibility for their actions and building resilience to navigate life’s uncertainties.

It should have five key priorities for supporting the success of India’s young adults.  Unemployment needs to be tackled through a boost in job growth and entrepreneurship.  Young Indians need to be equipped to shape their own futures through education, while being provided with skills and personal networks to gain and be successful in employment.  Early intervention to assist with social and psychological problems should be set up, helping misguided young people get back on track, including a public healthcare system that can improve their health and well-being.
Unemployment remains the primary challenge.  We need to create job centres, privately or publicly run, aggregating recruitment operations and connecting young people with employment, community and useful personal networks.

Combining this with social-security benefit delivery akin to Job-centre Plus in Britain, would help streamline the welfare system as well.  The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) should be financially assisted by a Youth Development Support Programme to develop skills, combined with apprenticeship programmes at a district level.

Entrepreneurship needs to be encouraged socially as well.  Removal of barriers to opening small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) remains key.  It still takes up to seven years to close a business in India, while the average time to register property in India can vary up to 106 days.  A lack of access to finance and lending remaining disproportionately oriented towards large economic and political interests stifle growth.

India’s banking sector needs to be pushed towards investing heavily in the SME sector.  Instruments like a two-year placement holiday along with an interest waiver on education loans in tertiary institutions like the IITs and IIMs should be utilized to boost risk taking.  Job centres could also provide incubation to local entrepreneurs, providing fund-raising help and business plan reviews.  The 10,000 crore Start-Up Fund announced in the Budget needs to be propped up with linkages established to youth start-up ventures.

71.    What is the current state of affairs of India’s latest National Youth Policy 2014?
A.    The youth councils have not been appointed yet.
B.    Creation of state-level youth policies lags far behind.

Directions (Q. 86-95):  Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/phrases have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

The data released by the Central Statistical Organisation on January 30 was a much-needed correction of the underreporting of economic activity by many of our indicators because of outdated base year, incomplete coverage and non-incorporation of financial data regularly filed by companies with government.  The 6th economic Census conducted in 2013 also helped identify and plug gaps in coverage.

The upshot of this was the sharp upward revision in the previously reported data for 2013-14 and a smaller increase in that for 2012-13.  The growth rate in terms of GDP at factor cost was found to have been 6.6% in 2013-14, against 4.7% previously reported, and that for 2012-13 to have been 4.9%, against 4.5% previously.

The problem of data weakness has been a serious handicap.  In 2009-10, as the Indian economy recovered from the global crisis, the strength of the recovery was not fully appreciated on account of this.  The 2009-10 Advance estimate released in February 2010 placed growth at 7.2%.  It has since been revised up to 8.6%.

Not only did the weakness in the data underreport the level of activity, but it was also slow to reflect the magnitude of change at inflection points.  This happened in 2009 and clearly also in 2013.  What should one infer from the data that has now become available?

First, there was, indeed, a severe slowdown, starting in the summer of 2011.  It is evident in the continuation of weak numbers for 2012-13 in the revised data.  In the old series, the growth rate of 2011-12 was 6.7%.  But the new series starts with 2011-12 and there are no published revised numbers for 2010-11 yet.

Going by GDP (at current market prices) for 2011-12 in the two series, it may be correct to infer that the figure is close to the extant growth number.  Thus, the slowdown that started in 2011-12 and continued through 1012-13, did yield to recovery in 2013-14.  But the question remains: if  there was a recovery in 2013-14, why did people miss it?
One, even as government expected its initiatives to revive the economy –from the cabinet Committee on Investment to push on road, rail and other projects—the GDP and related data continued to suggest that it was not working.  Two, corporate profitability and balance sheets remained under stress.  Three, there was no enthusiasm in business to take up fresh investment, and the bad move to amend the law retrospectively in the Vodafone tax case fouled matters completely.

Four, stress on external payments caused by two years of large current account deficits, followed by the fall in the rupee, completed the circle of woe.  Not to include the poison in the atmosphere and the catchiness of the phrase ‘policy paralysis’.

One cannot overstress that a growth of 6.6% is still well below this country’s potential.  The revised data for 2013-14 does not tell of an economy in the pink of health: but one that was set on the path of recovery in 2013-14, yet still a way from its true potential.  The fixed investment rate did fall—from 33.6% in 2011-12 to 29.7% in 2013-14, ie, by 3.9 percentage points of GDP—but not as much as suggested by the 5.9 percentage-point drop in the overall investment rate: companies sharply reduced their inventories and we bought much less gold from overseas. 

86.    Find the correct statement on the basis of the given passage.
A.       The correct GDP at factor cost was 6.6 per cent in 2013-14, which was earlier reported to be 4.7 per cent.
B.       There was a downward revision in previously reported data for 2012-13.

a) Only A and B                         b) Only B and C          c) Only A and C         
d) All A, B and C                       e) None of these

87.    Why was the strength of recovery of Indian economy from the global crisis in 2009-10 not fully appreciated?
         Select the most suitable answer.
A.       It was due to underreporting of data.
B.       It was due to wrong release of Advance Estimate regarding growth of Indian economy.

REASONING
36. d; All glasses are plates (A) + No plate is a spoon (E) = A + E = E = No glass is a spoon.  Hence conclusion a) follows.  But d) does not follow.  Some cups are glasses (I) + All glasses are plates (A) = I + A = I = Some cups are plates.  Hence conclusion b) follows and the possibility in c) exists.  Hence c) follows.  Again, Some cups are glasses (I)          conversion      Some glasses are cups (I).  Thus, some glasses not being cups is a possibility.  Hence conclusion e) follows.

37. d; Some vowels are alphabets (I)      conversion             Some alphabets are vowel.  Thus, the possibility in a) exits.  Hence conclusion a) follows.
Again, No word is a letter (E) + All letters are alphabets (A) = E + A = O* = Some alphabets are not words.  Hence conclusion b) follows.
No word is a letter (E)               conversion      No letter is a word (E).  Hence conclusion c) follows.
All letters are alphabets (A)      conversion      Some alphabets are letters (I).  Hence conclusion d) does not follow.  Some vowels are alphabets (I) + Some alphabets are letters (I) = I + I = No conclusion.  But the possibility in e) exits.  Hence conclusion e) follows.

38. b; There is no negative statement.  Therefore Positive possibilities clearly exist.  Hence conclusions a) and d) follow.
Some parrots are birds + All birds are crows = I + A = I = Some parrots are crows.   Hence c) follows but b) does not follow.
All birds are crows (A)             conversion      Some crows are birds (I).  Hence conclusion e) follows.

39. a; No pen is a cap (E)       conversion      No cap is pen (E).  Hence conclusion I does not follow.
No pen is a cap (I) + Some caps are covers (I) = E + I = O* = Some covers are not pens.  Hence conclusion b) follows.
Some caps are covers (I) + No cover is a pencil (E) = I + E = O = Some caps are not pencils.  Hence conclusion c) follows.
No cover is a pencil (E)            conversion      No pencil is a cover (E).  Hence conclusion d) follows.
Some caps are covers (I)           conversion      Some covers are caps.  Thus, some cover are not caps can exist.  Hence conclusion e) follows.

40. c; There is no negative statements.  Thus, the positive possibilities exist.  Hence conclusion a) and b) follow.  Some professors are doctors (I)            conversion    Some doctors are professors (I) + all professor are writers (A) = I + A = I = Some doctors are writers.  Hence c) does not follow but conclusion d) follows.  The possibility in e) exists.  Hence conclusion e) follows.
