Passage 7

India and Pakistan are the only two countries starting construction of a nuclear power plant in 2011, even as plants in 2011, even as plants
are being shut down in many countries and nuclear power generation has declined. It may be a little too early to predict the long term
decline of nuclear energy; but analysis indicates that countries are turning to other energy sources as result of high costs, low demand
and perceived risks from recent disasters. Despite reaching record levels in 2010, global installed nuclear capacity the potential power
generation from all existing plants-declined to 366.5 gigawatts (GW) in 2011, from 375.5 at the end of 2010. “Due to increasing cost
of production, a slowed demand for electricity and fresh memories of disaster in Japan, production of nuclear power fell in 2011,” the
Washington DC-based World watch Institute said in its report recently, Much of the decline in installed capacity is the result of halted
reactor construction around the world the report pointed out, adding, in the first ten months of the current years as many as 13 nuclear
reactors were closed thereby reducing the total number of reactors in operation around the world, from 441 at the beginnings of the year
to 433. It is also interesting that while construction of 16 new reactors began in 2010- the highest number in over a decade- the number
fell to just two in 2011. The countries to start construction are India and Pakistan Pointing out that China is an exception to the global
slump in nuclear electricity generation in terms of both the number of plants being built and capacity of planned installations, the report
added that the US too does not seem to be abandoning its nuclear power just yet. Although nuclear power remains an important energy
source for many countries including Russia and France, it is likely that its prominence will continue to decrease. To maintain current
generation levels, the world would need to install an additional 18 GW by 2025. In the context of fragile global economy, an increase
that sharp is improbable, the independent research organization pointed out. China India, Iran, Pakistan Russia, and south Korea have
together contributed around five GW of new installed capacity since the beginning of 2010. During this same period, nearly 11.5 GW of
installed capacity has been shut down in France, Germany. Japan and the UK.

(c) 1, 2 & 3 (d) 1 only

Passage 8

Others goof-off work. Indians, says a new study, goof-off holidays. They leave 20 percent of their vacations unused. Conducted by the
online travel firm Expedia, the “vacation deprivation survey,” which polled employed people across 21 countries, find that 29 percent
of Indians couldn’t plan their holidays due to work pressure. In all, 28 percent Indian respondents said they would prefer getting paid
for unused vacations. An equal percentages cited their boss disapproval for not availing themselves of their earned leave. The head-
Marketing Expedia (India), points out, “In India, vacations tend to be viewed as a guilty habit.” Europeans and Brazilians, by contrast,
view vacation as a necessity rather than a luxury, says the survey. Most Indians don’t disconnect from work even while on holiday. Fifty
three percent of Indians regularly check in on their emails and work status even during vacations and 31 percent sometimes. Japan has
a similar percentage. Most European employees seem to know how to relax-they completely switch off during vacation, hardly ever
checking in, with the exception of france with 56 percent checking in regularily and 31 percent sometimes. Indians get about 25 days
off in a year, while Europeans get the maximum vacation at 25–30 days in year. The Koreans and the Japanese get the least amount of
holidays- Just 10–11 days a year. Amazingly, they still don’t avail themselves of all their leave for work reasons. Scandinavians are most
likely to use all of their vacation days, leaving no days on the table.

(c) if you think the data are inadequate i.e., from the facts given you cannot say whether the inference is likely to be true or false.
(d) If you think the inference is ‘definitely false’ i.e., it contradicts the given facts.

Procurement of wheat is in full swing in the north-western states of India. By June end, public agencies are likely to end up with
foodgrain stocks of about 40 to 42 million tones, the highest ever witnessed in the history of this country. This stock should be
more than sufficient to ensure that country’s “food security” is not endangered even if India faces two consecutive droughts.
But strangely enough, while the granaries overflow, there is still widespread hunger in the country, even without a drought. The
estimates of poverty are being debated, but broadly one-third of India seems to remain underfed. And this coexistence of grain
surpluses with large scale hunger should make any serious policy-maker think and examine the existing policy mix with a view
to ensure faster economic growth and reduction in poverty.

61. The distribution of foodgrains to the masses has remained a problem area for India.
62. India’s food grains stock has been satisfactory over the past few years.

Directions (1–10): Read the given passage carefully and attempt the questions that follow:

The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new
social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. This
unfinished part of his experiment was perhaps even more difficult to achieve than the achievement of political freedom. In the political
struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support.
In establishing a social order on this pattern, there was a strong possibility of a conflict arising between diverse groups and classes of
our own people. Experience shows that man values his possessions even more than his life because in the former he sees the means for
perpetuation and survival of his descendants even after his body is reduced to ashes. A new order cannot be established without radically
changing the mind and attitude of men towards property and, at some stage or the other, the ‘haves’ have to yield place to the ‘have-nots’.
We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done,
by and large, through the use of physical force. In the ultimate analysis it is difficult, if not impossible, to say that the instinct to possess
has been rooted out or that it will not reappear in an even worse form under a different guise. It may even be that, like a gas kept confined
within containers under great pressure, or water held back by a big dam, once the barrier breaks, the reaction will one day sweep back
with a violence equal in extent and intensity to what was used to establish and maintain the outward egalitarian form. This enforced
egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction.

The root cause of class conflict is possessiveness or the acquisitive instinct. So long as the ideal that is to be achieved is one of
securing the maximum material satisfaction, possessiveness is neither suppressed nor eliminated but grows on what it feeds. Nor does it
cease to be possessiveness, whether it is confined to only a few or is shared by many.

If egalitarianism is to endure, it has to be based not on the possession of the maximum material goods by a few or by all but on
voluntary, enlightened renunciation of those goods which cannot be shared by others or can be enjoyed only at the expense of others. This
calls for substitution of material values by purely spiritual ones. The paradise of material satisfaction, which is sometimes equated with
progress these days, neither spells peace nor progress. Mahatma Gandhi has shown us how the acquisitive instinct inherent in man can
be transmuted by the adoption of the ideal of trusteeship by those who ‘have’ for the benefit of all those who ‘have not’ so that, instead
of leading to exploitation and conflict, it would become a means and incentive for the amelioration and progress of society respectively.

1. According to the passage, egalitarianism will not survive if
(a) It is based on voluntary renunciation
(b) It is achieved by resorting to physical force
(c) Underprivileged people are not involved in its establishment.
