Read the passage given below and answer the following questions as per the understanding of the passage (Question Nos. 71 to 75)
Ageing can generally be described as the process of growing old and is an intricate part of the life cycle. Basically it is a multi-dimensional process and affects almost every aspect of human life. Introduction to the study of human ageing have typically emphasized changes in demography focusing on the ‘ageing of population’- a trend, which has characterized industrial societies throughout the twentieth century but in recent decades, has become a worldwide phenomenon. Ageing is basically the result of a two dimensional demographic transformation which is explained by overall declines in mortality and fertility.
Although the proportion of elderly in the years 60 and above is considered to be relatively low in the case of the developing countries such as India and China, they have a larger population base. Developed countries have aged with high social and economic development, the socio and economic condition of the elderly in the developing world is a cause for concern as most of them end up in living below poverty line in old age due to inefficient social security. The poverty and deprivation are very common among the aged in the country as it does not have proper safety nets either state sponsored or socially build.
The lives of many older people are more frequently negatively affected by the social and economic insecurity that accompany the demographic and developmental process. The growth of individualism and desire for the independence and autonomy of the young generation affect the status of the elderly. The studies show that the socio-economic condition of older women is more vulnerable in the context of the demographic and socio-cultural change. The condition of elderly poverty has been a consistent phenomenon in the Third World as the older population is deprived of the basic needs.
Social scientists described the eight diminutions of deprivation among the elderly as poverty, social inferiority, social isolation, physical weakness, vulnerability, seasonality, powerlessness and humiliation of the aged. Poverty is sought to be a major risk of ageing in developing countries and study by the World Bank reveals that in the most of the developing countries, older people are vulnerable.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions as per the understanding of the passage (Question No. 96 to 100)
The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 guarantees to all children within the age group 6-14 years the right to education in proper schools with trained teachers. It was a long, long time coming, but this historic legislation, despite the many loopholes, has the power to transform the lives of millions of poor Indian children who have so far been deprived of the opportunity to make their lives better than those of their parents.
Since Independence, elementary education has grown into a multi-headed monster of sorts, with its own caste system of service-providers – government ordinary, government elite, and private elite, private-run but government-funded, and so on. It has provided children of the privileged classes a springboard to greater privilege, while doing nothing to eradicate child labour or provide poor children with even basic literacy, let alone the broader gains of education.
Broadly, the vast majority of the populations, both rural and urban, send their children to government-run schools as these are free, that is, they do not charge fees. However, given that the quality of education in these schools is usually quite poor, the fast-increasing middle class prefer to send their children to privately-run schools.
The new Act addresses some of these issues, but not the more important concern – teacher absenteeism. Various studies have shown that at any given time, 30% of teachers at government schools are absent from their classrooms. While the Act mandates the number of teaching hours per year, it does not address the lack of accountability on the part of the teacher or the system if the mandated number of hours is not actually provided.
Other problems include discrimination on a caste basis, violence and abuse of children, and discrimination against girls. The latter is not often overt but a result of certain existing situations: for example, 27% of schools do not have even one female teacher, resulting in a lack of confidence on the part of parents, especially of older girls. Fifty percent of schools do not have separate toilets forgirls. As a result, it is estimated that for every 100 girls who enroll in school in rural India, 40 will reach Class IV, 18 will reach Class VIII, nine will reach Class IX, and only one will make it to Class XII.
And finally, and more significantly, what are children learning? The stated aim of elementary education is to provide the child with the knowledge, skills and qualities to become an independent, thinking, creative human being. But a report shows that on the ground we are far from even providing them the basic literacy skills. This is the biggest challenge now that children are increasingly going to be brought into the mainstream – can the system help them develop into independent, thinking, creative human beings? Or will it turn out barely literate automatons that have lost their innate ability to question and explore?
96. The Right of children to free and compulsory Education Act 2009 guarantees to all children the right to

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions as per the understanding of the passage (Question Nos. 71 to 75)
Ageing can generally be described as the process of growing old and is an intricate part of the life cycle. Basically it is a multi-dimensional process and affects almost every aspect of human life. Introduction to the study of human ageing have typically emphasized changes in demography focusing on the ‘ageing of population’- a trend, which has characterized industrial societies throughout the twentieth century but in recent decades, has become a worldwide phenomenon. Ageing is basically the result of a two dimensional demographic transformation which is explained by overall declines in mortality and fertility.
Although the proportion of elderly in the years 60 and above is considered to be relatively low in the case of the developing countries such as India and China, they have a larger population base. Developed countries have aged with high social and economic development, the socio and economic condition of the elderly in the developing world is a cause for concern as most of them end up in living below poverty line in old age due to inefficient social security. The poverty and deprivation are very common among the aged in the country as it does not have proper safety nets either state sponsored or socially build.
The lives of many older people are more frequently negatively affected by the social and economic insecurity that accompany the demographic and developmental process. The growth of individualism and desire for the independence and autonomy of the young generation affect the status of the elderly. The studies show that the socio-economic condition of older women is more vulnerable in the context of the demographic and socio-cultural change. The condition of elderly poverty has been a consistent phenomenon in the Third World as the older population is deprived of the basic needs.
Social scientists described the eight diminutions of deprivation among the elderly as poverty, social inferiority, social isolation, physical weakness, vulnerability, seasonality, powerlessness and humiliation of the aged. Poverty is sought to be a major risk of ageing in developing countries and study by the World Bank reveals that in the most of the developing countries, older people are vulnerable.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions as per the understanding of the passage (Question No. 96 to 100)
The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 guarantees to all children within the age group 6-14 years the right to education in proper schools with trained teachers. It was a long, long time coming, but this historic legislation, despite the many loopholes, has the power to transform the lives of millions of poor Indian children who have so far been deprived of the opportunity to make their lives better than those of their parents.
Since Independence, elementary education has grown into a multi-headed monster of sorts, with its own caste system of service-providers – government ordinary, government elite, and private elite, private-run but government-funded, and so on. It has provided children of the privileged classes a springboard to greater privilege, while doing nothing to eradicate child labour or provide poor children with even basic literacy, let alone the broader gains of education.
Broadly, the vast majority of the populations, both rural and urban, send their children to government-run schools as these are free, that is, they do not charge fees. However, given that the quality of education in these schools is usually quite poor, the fast-increasing middle class prefer to send their children to privately-run schools.
The new Act addresses some of these issues, but not the more important concern – teacher absenteeism. Various studies have shown that at any given time, 30% of teachers at government schools are absent from their classrooms. While the Act mandates the number of teaching hours per year, it does not address the lack of accountability on the part of the teacher or the system if the mandated number of hours is not actually provided.
Other problems include discrimination on a caste basis, violence and abuse of children, and discrimination against girls. The latter is not often overt but a result of certain existing situations: for example, 27% of schools do not have even one female teacher, resulting in a lack of confidence on the part of parents, especially of older girls. Fifty percent of schools do not have separate toilets forgirls. As a result, it is estimated that for every 100 girls who enroll in school in rural India, 40 will reach Class IV, 18 will reach Class VIII, nine will reach Class IX, and only one will make it to Class XII.
And finally, and more significantly, what are children learning? The stated aim of elementary education is to provide the child with the knowledge, skills and qualities to become an independent, thinking, creative human being. But a report shows that on the ground we are far from even providing them the basic literacy skills. This is the biggest challenge now that children are increasingly going to be brought into the mainstream – can the system help them develop into independent, thinking, creative human beings? Or will it turn out barely literate automatons that have lost their innate ability to question and explore?
