The word 'corruption' has multifarious meanings. It means bribery, it means tax evasion, it also means favoritism. It is an immoral practice which existed in our society since times immemorial in one shape or the other. But today, it has raised its giant shaped head in every facets of life. Be it ministers or officers or even clerks, nobody is free from this evil. Social laws are manipulated; rules and regulations are overlooked just to give favour to somebody and taking money from him in return. Although, corruption is a worldwide phenomenon in India. It has become rampant. Even great men like Bacon, Hastings and Walpole had been accused of corruption. But today, the whole India system has been inflicted with it. From an officer down to a peon, everybody seems to be corrupt. Efficiency, integrity and morality have gone to the winds. They have become a thing of the past. The devil of corruption is so powerful that it has shattered our economy and destroyed all the noble values of life. Besides, it has tarnished our image in the eyes of the world. Nepotism, smuggling, hoarding, favoritism and black-money are some of the popular forms of corruption. Tax evasion, adulteration in food, drinks; medicine and other articles of daily use have become the order of the day. There is corruption in every profession. Lawyers, 'doctors and even teachers have lost their integrity and they place money above service. There are many reasons of corruption in our society. First, the poor economic position of the people is responsible for wide spread corruption. Second, there is lack of national character and moral values. Third, people have developed love for money and they want to maintain a high standard of living at all costs. So, they have no conscience to amass wealth through under hand means. They have no time to think of the national interest. The long term solution to the problem is to develop national character. Our education system needs to be overhauled. Honesty should be appreciated and rewarded publicly. Besides this, every department will have to gird up its loins. A strong vigil should be kept on one and all. No one if caught red handed should be spared. Moreover, the officials should be duly paid their salaries so that they do not feel the need of being corrupt. The country needs complete cleaning up from the corrupt officials today.

National interest:
- The passage mentions that people involved in corruption often do not think about national interest.
- They are more focused on amassing wealth through underhanded means and maintaining a high standard of living at all costs.

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:The recent assessment report published in the leading dailies on climate change dispels any lingering doubts. Various long-term changes in climate have been observed. Global warming would mean flooded rivers, submerged sea coasts and hence fewer islands, apart from disruption in agriculture. This may lead to ecological imbalance, may cause ocean salinity, affect wind patterns and cause calamities including drought. It is pertinent to note that heavy precipitation, heat waves, and intensity of tropical cyclones have been observed in the continents. The concurrent occurrence of last years floods and droughts in several regions may actually become "normal." in foreseeable future and a large number of people are likely to be affected by this ecological imbalance. The report has cautioned the world leaders about the fallout and the disastrous repercussions if the warnings of the report are ignored.Countries like India can and must be leaders in responding to this cataclysmic change, both nationally and internationally. Domestic emissions of black carbon/elemental carbon are an easy target. It is time to do more than subsidizing cooking gas: supporting its distribution to rural areas and cracking down on tampering with the cylinders. It should be noted that less than half of Indias population is covered by domestic LPG gas. The best solution is moving on to and rationalizing the fossil fuel. We must crack down on fuel adulteration and provide incentives for engine tuning. Rural electrification promises must be fulfilled to reduce reliance on diesel generators. The government should encourage CNG buses and cabs.India, along with China, is among the largest future centre of emissions resulting from expected higher economic activity. India has two choices: stubbornly claim its right to unfettered emissions in its economic transition, or acknowledge that things have changed and that development today might require new policy concerning energy emissions.India being an underdeveloped country has always sought differentiated treatment in international agreements aimed to limit emissions. There are no reduction obligations currently and the country can earn credit under the Clean Development Mechanism. There are reasons to reconsider this stance and to strive for phased limits on emissions growth.First, full exemption from emission controls in the changed scenario is not workable for a long time. The negotiations over emission controls are nothing but stubborn adherence to given positions, although the costs keep increasing steadily. The emission controls will certainly come at some point in the future. Most wars of attrition end when the party with the highest costs of continuing cedes ground and agrees to do something about the existing problem. India could introduce an emission control regime by taking a proactive stance now. It is also easier to plan for the future safety of the people than to do midcourse correction and replace investments already made.Second, the energy intensity coupled with inefficiency is incompatible with rapid growth. It is needless to state that India has the domestic scientific/technical capacity to compete globally even in green technology. The urge for global reach would be enough to spur innovation and R&D, apart from the fact that emission controls would help create stronger domestic demand for green technology. India must not forget the warning that Death waits for no man. The demonstration value of emission controls would have a cascading effect internationally. One-fifth of the worlds population lives in India. If the country commits to emission reductions, the pressure will come to bear on the others to follow suit. It can play the leadership role.Q.Which of the following statements cannot be inferred about emission control from the passage?

Directions : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given after the passage. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.States are highly competitive actors and the competitiveness that exists between them has become increasingly intensified as the world order has become ever more globalised. In order to be successful and prosperous in this competitive environ­ment states require access to reliable intelligence that reveals the strengths and weaknesses of their competitors. Knowledge is power, after all.A significant amount of intelligence collected by states is from sources which are publicly available. Espionage is a prevalent method of gathering intelligence and describes 'the consciously deceitful collection of information, ordered by a govern­ment or organisation hostile to or suspicious of those the information concerns, accomplished by humans unauthorised by the target to do the collecting'. Espio­nage, then, is the unauthorised collection of non-publicly available information. The act of espionage can be committed through various methods. In its traditional conception, espionage describes the practice whereby a state dispatches an agent into the physical territory of another state in order to access and obtain confidential information. States have, however, exploited technological developments in order to devise more effective methods through which to conduct espionage. Since the emergence of vessels, aeroplanes and celestial bodies, the sea, the skies and outer space have all been used as platforms to engage in (often electroni c) surveillance of adversaries; that is, to commit espionage from afar. It therefore comes as no surprise that since its creation cyberspace has also been harnessed as a medium through which to commit espionage. Indeed, the exploitation of cyberspace for the purpose of espionage has emerged as a particularly attractive method to acquire confidential information because of the large amount of information that is now stored in cyberspace and because cyberspace affords a considerable degree of ano­nymity to perpetrators of espionage and is thus a relatively risk free enterprise.Unsurprisingly, espionage has 'metastasised' since the emergence of cyber­space and reports suggest that cyber espionage projects are now prevalent. As an illustration, in February 2013 the Mandiant Report identified China as a persis­tent perpetrator of cyber espionage. In fact, the report claims that a cyber espio­nage entity known as Unit 61398 has been specifically created by the Chinese gov­ernment and is formally incorporated into the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The Report suggests that Unit 61398 is responsible for organising and instigating a massive cyber espionage campaign against other states and non-state actors, seek­ing to exploit vulnerable computer systems in order to access sensitive and confi­dential information with the aim of bolstering China's position in the international political and economic order. Only four months later in June 2013 cyber espionage was again thrust firmly into the international spotlight when Edward Snowden, a former contractor for the US National Security Agency (NS

Answer the question based on the information given in the passage.Today almost all human activity is subject to some form of global regulation. Goods and activities that are beyond the effective control of any one State are regulated at the global level. Global regulatory regimes cover a vast array of different subject- areas, including but not limited to forest preservation, the control of fishing, financial and accounting standards, internet governance to name a few. This increase in the number and scope of regulatory regimes has been matched by the huge growth of international organizations: nowadays over 2,000 intergovernmental organizations(IGOs) and around 40,000 Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are operating worldwide.Q. Why does the array of human activities today require global regulation?
