(iii) A safe and secure environment may allow more women to take up a variety of jobs or run a business. These are goals other than income. Hence, the development goal is not only for better income but also for other important things in life.

Section C

Q.23. Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow :     (4 Mark)
Following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, European governments were driven by a spirit of conservatism. Conservatives believed that established, traditional institutions of state and society – like the monarchy, the Church, social hierarchies, property and the family – should be preserved. Most conservatives,  however, did not propose a return to the society of pre-revolutionary days. Rather, they realised, from the changes initiated by Napoleon, that modernisation could in fact strengthen traditional institutions like the monarchy. It could make the state's power more effective and stronger. A modern army, an efficient bureaucracy, a dynamic economy, the abolition of feudalism and serfdom could strengthen the autocratic monarchies of Europe. In 1815, representatives of the European powers who had collectively defeated Napoleon, met at Vienna to draw up a settlement for Europe. The Congress was hosted by the Austrian Chancellor Duke Metternich. The delegates drew up the Treaty of Vienna of 1815 with the object of undoing most of the changes that had come about in Europe during the Napoleonic wars. The Bourbon dynasty, which had been deposed during the French Revolution, was restored to power, and France lost the territories it had annexed under Napoleon. A series of states were set up on the boundaries of France to prevent French expansion in future.

Q.24. Read the text given below and answer the following questions.     (4 Mark)
Manufacturing industries not only help in modernising agriculture, which forms the backbone of our economy, they also reduce the heavy dependence of people on agricultural income by providing them jobs in secondary and tertiary sectors. Industrial development is a precondition for the eradication of unemployment and poverty in our country. This was the main philosophy behind public sector industries and joint sector ventures in India. It was also aimed at bringing down regional disparities by establishing industries in tribal and backward areas. Export of manufactured goods expands trade and commerce and brings in much needed foreign exchange. Countries that transform their raw materials into a wide variety of finished goods of a higher value are prosperous. India’s prosperity lies in increasing and diversifying its manufacturing industries as quickly as possible. Agriculture and industry are not exclusive to each other. They move hand in hand. For instance, the agro-industries in India have given a major boost to agriculture by raising its productivity.

Q.25. Read the given extract and answer the following questions.     (4 Mark)
In a democracy, we are most concerned with ensuring that people will have the right to choose their rulers and people will have control over the rulers. Whenever possible and necessary, citizens should be able to participate in decision making, that affects them all.
Therefore, the most basic outcome of democracy should be that it produces a government that is accountable to the citizens, and responsive to the needs and expectations of the citizens. Some people think that democracy produces less effective government. It is, of course, true that non-democratic rulers are very quick and efficient in decision making and implementation, whereas, democracy is based on the idea of deliberation and negotiation. So, some delay is bound to take place. But, because it has followed procedures, its decisions may be both more acceptable to the people and more effective. Moreover, when citizens want to know if a decision was taken through the correct procedures, they can find this out. They have the right and the means to examine the process of decision making.
This is known as transparency. This factor is often missing from a non-democratic government. There is another aspect in which democratic government is certainly better than its alternatives: a democratic government is a legitimate government. It may be slow, less efficient, not always very responsive, or clean. But a democratic government is the people’s own government.

Q.27. Assess democracy as a form of government based on its outcomes in various fields.    (5 marks)
Ans. Following are the points based on which we can assess democracy and its outcomes in various fields:
(1) Democracies are expected to produce good governments and help their citizens to develop economically culturally and socially. However, this development is not guaranteed. Democratic counties like South Africa and Brazil have huge income inequalities and less economic growth.
(2) One of its functions depends on its tendency and efforts to reduce economic disparities. However, it is a bitter truth that even when a country achieves economic growth, wealth is not distributed in such a way that all citizens of the country will have an approximately equal share and lead a better life.
(3) Democracies have also failed on the issue of poverty reduction. A small number of ultra-rich enjoy a highly disproportionate share of wealth and incomes.
(4) Democracies might frustrate the needs of the people and often ignore the demands of a minority over the majority of its population but it helps in strengthening the claims of the disadvantaged and discriminated castes for equal status and opportunity.
(5) Democracy stands superior to other forms of government as it promotes dignity, freedom and equality before the law of each individual.
(6) Democracies are believed to accommodate social diversities and develop their own fair form of competition in reducing conflicts from being violent or explosive. Thus democracies appear to be a good alternative to other forms of government in a few ways, while unfit in some others. However, if conducted well and executed in the right manner, it can prove to be a very successful and very popular form of government.

Q.28. Describe any five conditions or aspects that you would consider before accepting a job in a distant place.    (5 marks)
Ans. If I get a job in a distant place, before accepting it, I would try to consider many factors, apart from income such as:
(1) Facilities for the family: I would have to check if there is a good educational facility for children, a good house and localities to stay in. Sufficient medical facilities should also be available.
(2) Jobs security: I should have clear terms of employment in my appointment letter. A job that gives high pay but no job security will reduce my sense of security and freedom and will affect my decision.
(3) Opportunity to learn: There should be an opportunity for personal career growth so that no boredom or stagnation sets in.
(4) Working atmosphere: There should be good team spirit and the seniors should look after newcomers and guide them. For women, the environment should be safe and discrimination-free. If women are engaged in paid work, their dignity in the household and society increases. A safe and secure environment may allow more women to take up jobs or run a business.
(5) Time for the family: Working hours should be fixed and adhered to so that there is time for spending with family. Appropriate leave provision must be there as well.

Q.29. Write a short note on the various kinds of roads in India.    (5 marks)
Ans. Various kinds of roads found in India are:
(1) Golden Quadrilateral superhighways: The government has launched a major road development project linking Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi and six-lane superhighways. The North-South corridors linking Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) and Kanyakumari (Tamil Nadu) and EastWest corridor linking Silchar (Assam) and Porbander (Gujarat) are part of this project.
(2) National highways: National highways link extreme parts of the country. These are primary road systems and are laid and maintained by the Central Public Works Department (CPWD). The historical Sher Shah Suri Marg called National Highway 1, which connects Delhi and Amritsar is an example.
(3) State highways: Roads linking a state capital with different district headquarters are known as state highways. State highways are constructed and maintained by the State Public Works Department (PWD).
(4) District roads: Roads that connect district headquarters with other places of the district are called district roads. These roads are maintained by the Zila Parishad.
(5) Rural roads: Roads that link rural areas and villages with towns are classified as rural roads. Under the Pradhan Mantri Grameen Sadak Yojana scheme, special provisions are made so that every village in the country is linked to a major town in the country by an all-season motorable road.
(6) Border roads: Strategically important roads in the bordering areas of the country are called border roads. Border Roads Organisation (BRO), a government of India undertaking, constructs and maintains border roads. This organisation was established in 1960 for the development of the roads of strategic importance in the northern and northeastern border areas.
