ANSWERS 1. A) What do you feel that the factors caused the Himachal Pradesh state stood first in the development of Education or Schooling? A: I feel the following issues are caused Himachal Pradesh state stood first in the development of education through the schooling revolution. Himachal Pradesh government started schools and made sure that education was largely free or costs very little for parents. Further, the government tried to ensure that these schools had atleast the minimum facilities of teachers, classrooms, toilets, drinking water etc. As the years went by, these facilities were improved and expanded. More schools were opened and teachers were appointed so that many more children could study easily. Himachal Pradesh has the distinction of one of the highest spending from the government budget on education of each child. In year 2005, the average spending on education by the government in Indian states was Rs.1049 per child, Himachal Pradesh was spending Rs.2005 per child. Students in Himachal Pradesh came to school enthusiastically. An overwhelming proportion of students enjoyed their schooling experience. Children had dreams of studying till higher classes and aspirations to be policemen, scientists, and teachers. The attendance rate was very high in primary classes, but also among older children. A welcome trend in Himachal Pradesh is the lower gender bias. Himachal Pradesh parents have ambitious educational goals for their girls, just as for their boys. B) Why did the Density of Population in North-eastern states is low? A: North - eastern states Arunachal Pradesh, Assom, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura and Meghalaya have low density of population that Indian average density. The reasons are as follows... North-eastern states' most of the area is hilly and rocky nature. So they are not suitable for living. Dissected and rocky nature of the terrain, less fertile soils have influenced the Agriculture so as the people settlements are low.
The rainfall is moderate to low rainfall and low irrigation facilities leads to less agricultural development. So Agri based population also low. Here Industrial development also low. Noone can come and settle here for employment purpose from other states. Transport facilities also very low in this region. Railway lines are very very low. There is no railway lines in some states. There is no any National Educational Institutions, Multi National Companies, as a result of this population density is low. Here is no river deltas so as population density is low. North-eastern states are changed as disturbed region due to social movements, terrorists, tribal wars etc., here insecurity feeling is arised among the people, who are willing to migrate other places and also noone can settle here from other states. 2. A) How does the rivers are useful to human life? A: Rivers - Usefulness: Rivers are basis for human life. We can't assume the human life without river water. Riverwaters are useful to fulfil the following needs. Water for Agriculture: Water for crops growing is provided through canals. River water is the source to canals. Water for Domestic purpose: Riverwaters are using in different forms for drinking, cooking, washing, cleaning and for animals etc. Water for Industrial use: Water is required for manufacturing processes round the year. For this, riverwaters are supplied through special canals to the industries. Dams Construction: Flood water is used in a optimum level through canals by way of constructing dams on rivers. Hydro-electric power generation: Hydro-electric power projects, which are constructed on rivers, produce power is useful to domestic and industrial needs. Water Transportation: Riverwater ways, river canals are useful to transportation with low expenses. River Deposits: Sand, which deposited by river flow, is used in constructions. So government gets income and people gets employment. In river water, the fishermen catches fishes, prawn etc., so they get income and food for people.
Tourism Development: River flow surrounding areas are developed as tourist places. (OR) B) In what way Organic farming helpful to Environment Protection? A: Organic farming - Environment: Organic farming means the use of natural techniques as crop rotation, compost and biological pest control in farming instead of chemical fertilisers and pesticides. There is no problem to environment with organic farming. One of the main characteristics of organic agriculture is the use of local resources including on farm biological processes such as availability of pest predators (birds, spiders, insects) or soil micro-organisms (Rhizobium and Azotobacter) which make nutrients more accessible to the plant. As a result of this, no harm to bio-diversity. The use of synthetic chemical inputs is minimised then soil pollution can be reduced. The farms can be biodiverse as they produce a number of crops rather than only one or two crops. By using compost the cattle wealth increase. Fertilisers and pesticides companies gradually decrease and reduce the air and water pollution. Organic farming reduce the pollution and give us nutrition food, which improves our health. Further more, production levels can be maintained similar to modern agricultural methods with organic-farming. 3. A) Read the following paragraph and write your opinion. The organised sector offers jobs that are the most sought-after. But the employment opportunities in the organised sector have been expanding very slowly. As a result, a large number of workers are forced to enter the unorganised sector jobs, which pay a very low salary. They are often exploited and not paid a fair wage. Their earnings are low and not regular. When workers lose their jobs in the organised sector they are forced to take jobs in the unorganised sector with low earnings. Besides the need for more work, there is also a need for protection and support of the workers in the unorganised sector.
A: Today, many of workers are like to enter the organised sector jobs because of job-security and fair wages. For example, government jobs, jobs in MNCs, large companies... etc., are belongs to organised sector. Whereas, in unorganised sector no job security. Jobs are here low-paid and not regular. Self-employed people, daily workers, daily wage labourers, jobs in small firms etc., comes under unorganised sector. Proper skills and educational qualifications are essential for organised sector jobs but not necessary of certain qualifications for unorganised sector jobs. In organised sector, employment opportunities are low and competition is high. It is easy to get the job in unorganised sector, where the employment are more. There is not followed the government rules and regulations in organised sector. There is no provision for holidays, leave due to sickness etc. When there is less work during some seasons, some people maybe asked to leave. Job security depends on the whims of the employer or changes in the market situation in unorganised sector. Most of the people like to work in unorganised sector jobs due to poverty and unemployment. They are often exploited. In modern times, when workers loss their jobs in Service sector and MNCs they are forced to take up jobs in the unorganised sector with low earnings. Anyway, we would like to work in unorganised sector when provide job security and fair wages through implementing the government rules and regulations. (OR) B) Read the following and answer the question. In India, according to census 2001, about 307 million people have been reported as migrants. Migrations can be happen due to many reasons. While females report marriage as the most common reason for migration, employment or seeking employment is the most common reason for males to migrate. Dissatisfaction with employment opportunities in the native place, better opportunity for studies, loss in business, family feuds etc., also some of the other reasons that people have stated as reasons for migration in the census surveys.
Q. What do you think about the repercussions of Migration? A: Migration - Repercussions: People migrate from rural areas mainly due to insufficient opportunities and inadequate income available in rural employment. People also migrate with the expectation of higher incomes and more opportunities for family members and may be better services. Most urban migrants have to work as labourers and find employment in the unorganised sector. In this process, they have opportunities for education, take up new jobs and acquire new skills. Towns also appear to offer greater freedom and somewhat less discrimination based on caste and gender. For these people living conditions in slums in towns and cities is worse because space is cramped and basic facilities such as drinking water and sanitation aren't available. A large section of migrants are from tribal countries. Seasonal migrants are not only poor but have little or no land at their native place. When employers do not follow safety measures, accidents are also common. In the case of women migrant workers, there is no maternity leave. When families migrate, children accompanying their parents don't have creche facilities. Grown-up children are not able to continue their studies at their parents' new workplaces. When males leave their families, the women have to take the family responsibilities as a result of this, they remain as dropouts. Exposure to different environment, stress associated with it, food available and social atmosphere leave a deep impact on migrants. Also important is the impact that international migration has on regions of the migrants. For the families of migrants the impact is visible as they are able to pay back loans, buy assets and the standard of the life improves.

Large farmers are using machines like tractors, threshers, harvests as they decrease the number of days of work available to a worker. It leads to low wages. Farm labourers must regularly look for work. Wages vary widely from region to region, from crop to crop, from one farm activity to another.
