Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions.
The Draft National Education Policy, 2019 (DNEP) implements the India-centric education system, which contributes to the continuous transformation of our nation into a just and vibrant knowledge society, by providing high-quality education to all. The NITI Aayog has focused policy focus specifically on education and outcomes of education from programs. It has promoted competitive federalism among states to improve their educational indicators that are measurable by a battery of tests on students. But any serious work on 'No One Left Behind' (NOLB) can ask for a new and reformist approach. DNEP has provided some hope, but it calls for further examination of rhetoric and reality.
DNEP must be read in the context of the current economic and educational climate in order to estimate the path and speed needed to make its vision a reality. On the one hand, we are in another new era of industrial revolution or skilled age. On the other hand, at present, around one million youth enter the workforce in India each month, but most of them are just raw hands without professional technical knowledge or practical business skills. The weak relationship between education and employment poses a potential risk of turning India's demographic dividend into a demographic disaster.
In the education sector, the elusive chaos of the quantity-quality-equity triangle remains unresolved. Although the merits of education are well recognized as an invaluable public, public investment for this has been minimal. It is relevant to explore how DNEP has addressed some key areas for policy interventions in school education, namely access, which can be measured by the education system, the size and flow of students crossing over to equity, which can be seen development-deprived populations, and lack or persistence of quality, which can be understood by teaching-learning processes and developmental outcomes for children that are more easily implied by attainable scores.

I had occasion to work with her closely during the Women's International Year in 1975 when she was chairing a Steering Committee and made me the member in charge of publicity. Representatives from different political parties and women's organisations were on the committee, and though the leftists claimed a sort of proprietary right over her, Aruna encouraged and treated all members alike. It was not her political affiliations or her involvement in a particular cause, which won her respect and recognition, but her utter honesty in public life, her integrity and her compassion for the oppressed which made her an adorable person. She had the courage to differ with and defy the mightiest in the land; yet her human spirit prompted her to work in the worst of slums to offer succour to the poor and the exploited.
In later years – around late eighties and early nineties – Aruna Asaf Ali's health began to deteriorate. Though her mind remained alert, she could not actively take up her pet causes – action for women's advancement, planning for economic justice, role of media, reaffirmation of values in public affairs etc. Slowly, her movements were restricted and Aruna, who had drawn sustenance from common people, from her involvement in public life, became a lonely person. She passed away in July 1996.
Q. Who tried to monopolise Aruna as their proprietary right?

More than eight months after the national lockdown was announced in late March, urban India is learning to live with the Covid-I9 pandemic. In fact, indicating a positive outlook for the future, many survey respondents in a recent survey say they plan to return to pre-lockdown levels of shopping, personal grooming, going to cinemas and socializing as pandemic fears continue to recede.
The survey findings highlight that the suppression of consumer demand because of fears of job losses and salary cuts could be coming to an end. Increasingly, urban Indians are showing increased confidence about the future of the economy. This could be an indicator of the possible 'pent-up demand' that several economists have been talking about — a demand that could be unleashed once a vaccine is developed and distributed, or when there are signs of the pandemic's spread reducing to negligible levels or vanishing totally.
Around 65 per cent of respondents said they had settled into new routines, or that they saw signs of the situation improving, or they had come to terms with the pandemic and were moving on with their lives. And since the survey was conducted before the news of the successful trials of the Pfizer vaccine for the coronavirus was announced, it is likely that the consumers are now even more positive in their outlook about the future.
