Both the courses of actions are desirable. The committee will help in recognizing the pitfalls and shortcomings of Indian hockey, whereas local tournaments and media campaigns will increase awareness, and will address the problem of ignorance by the government, media and people of India.

| | Eshaan Kapoor answered |
Since India is lagging behind others in developing entrepreneurship, opening practice schools and colleges dedicated to fostering entrepreneurs would be a sensible and practical idea. II is outrightly ludicrous. III also is not the correct course of action to follow as entrepreneurship, as compared to other subjects, is learnt on field and through practice. Better entrepreneurs cannot be created by teaching entrepreneurship in schools (read this in light of the first course of action).

 | Faizan Khan answered |
I is clearly impractical. One cannot close down schools due to such a reason, as most of the schools will have to be closed down then. However, II is practical and desirable, and will also help in solving the imminent problem of rote learning, and other problems marring the school education.

I would be the wrong step to take as it will only hold the protests for a limited period of time, and the protests might resurrect, probably on a larger scale, if the Bill is passed without addressing the concerns of various stakeholders and general public. This is also the reason why II would be a desirable course of action.

| | Eshaan Kapoor answered |
I doesn’t follow as a private entity cannot be forced by the government into investing in the social sector programs. However, ITC can be requested by the government to explore the domestic market fully, before foraying into the foreign markets. However, had the same course of action used ‘ordered’ or ‘strictly asked’ instead of ‘requested’, it wouldn’t have been a desirable course of action.

| | Eshaan Kapoor answered |
I follow, as the oil spill which has had a direct effect on the fishes, and killed them, might also have an effect on the human habitation around the oil spill area, as the water is bound to get contaminated. Regarding II and III, III definitely follows. Under the polluter pays principle, and under many other laws, the company using the ship for commercial purposes will be held liable and will have to pay a heavy fine. However, since we do not yet know if it was a manufacturing defect, it would be absurd to penalize the ship manufacturing company.

| | Dia Mehta answered |
Users cannot be advised to stay away from all social networking websites, due to viruses being spread through some of these websites, thus I doesn’t follow. Banning of such social networking websites is unfeasible, as it will result in a backlash from the users. III is impractical as the government would incur huge costs in distributing even cheap anti-viruses.

 | Aryan Khanna answered |
Since paid news, an unethical practice in itself, also has the potential to affect the outcome of the polls, it should be treated as an electoral malpractice, and should be criminalized. Further, any suspicious increase in revenue of the news channels around the polls might be the result of paid news. Thus, monitoring such revenues would also be desirable.

| | Eshaan Kapoor answered |
The single screen cinema hall owners should either convert their halls to multiplexes, as people now prefer the latter, or they should experiment with value added services, while remaining as single screen theatre only. However, in face of the huge losses, it would be impractical to incur expenses on increasing the quality of screen and the sound and also substantially reducing the price of the tickets at the same time.
