ENGLISH LANGUAGEDirections (1-5) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions

given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them

while answering some of the questions.

We should recognise the indebtedness of the country to its farm families who toil to

safeguard national food security. Loan waiver is the price we have to pay for the

neglect of rural India over the past. several decades. There has been a gradual decline

in investment in key sectors related to agriculture such as infrastructure, marketing,

post harvest technology etc. The four crore farmers whose debt is to be relieved will

be eligible for institutional credit for their cultivation expenses during Kharif 2008.

The challenge is to prevent them from getting into the debt trap again. For this

purpose the Central and various State governments should set up an Indebted

Farmers’ Support Consortium, comprising scientists. panehayat raj officials and others

relevant to assisting farmers to improve the profitability and productivity of their

farms in an environmentally sustainable manner. The smaller the farm the greater is

the need fur marketable surplus to reduce indebtedness.

The Indebted Farmers’ Support Consortium should aim to get all the four crore

farmers all the benefits of the government schemes such as the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas

Yojana, Irrigation Benefit Programme and others. If this is done every farm family

released from the debt trap should be able to produce at least an additional half tonne

per hectare of food grains. This should help increase food production by about 20

million tonnes by 200810. At a time when global and national food stocks are

dwindling and prices are rising, this will be a timely gain for our national food

security. We need to ensure that the outcome of the debt waiver is enhanced farmers’

income and production. The prevailing gap between potential and actual yields in the

crops of rainfed areas such as pulses and oilseeds is over 200 per cent even with the

necessary technologies on the shelf. We are now importing without duty large

quantities of pulses and oilseeds. If helped, farmers can produce these at a lower cost.

Opportunities for assured and remunerative marketing are essential if loan waiver is not

to become a recurring event leading to the destruction of the credit system. This is why

the Minimum Support Price is necessary for all not just for a few crops which is the case

at present. This is the single most effective step to urgent step which needs to be Laken.

The loan waiver does not cover those who borrow from Moneylenders. It will not be

possible for the government to scrutinise the veracity of such private deals but steps can

be taken such as giving them Smart Cards which will entitle them to essential inputs like

seeds and fertilisers. The gram sablia can be entrusted with the task of ideo tifying these

farmers so that there is transparency in the process and elimination of the



chances for falsificatiot and corruption. Fear of occasional misuse should not come in

the way of en abling millions of poor farmers who have borrowed from informal

sources if we are to achieve the goal of four percent growth in agriculture.

1. What is the likely impact of ensuring farmers benefit from government schemes ?

(A) They can use the credit nom these schemes to repay moo eylenciers.

(B)-The government can control the price rise.

(C) Increased agricultural production.

(1) Both (A) and (B)

(2) All (A), (B) and (C)

(3) Only (C)

(4) Both (B) and (C)

(5) None of these

Solution:4

2. Why does the author feel that rural India has been overlooked in the past?

(A) institutional credit was only made available for Khalil crops.

(B) Drop in investment in eentnil areas related to agriculture.

(C) Records of those eligible for loan waivers have not been maintained over time.

(1) Only (B)


(3) Only (C)

(4) All (A), (B) and (C)

(5) None of these

Solution:1

3. How can small farmers avoid debt?

(1) They need to acquire additional land holdings.

(2)They need to take advanlage of both government schemes as well as

credit from moneylenders.

(3)They have to ensure a sufficient amount of their farm produce is sold.

(4)The Government should provide periodic loan waivers.

(5)None of these

Solution:3

4. What is the objective of Lhe Indebted Farmers’ Support Consortium?

(2)It has to devise new government schemes for farmers.

(3)It has to track farmers eligible for government schemes.

(4)It has to evaluate government Sri-IC:1MS and weed out the inefficient ones.

(5)It will assist farmers to improve profitability and productivity.



Solution:5

farm families”?

(2)Citizens should he grateful to farmers and their families for the hardships

borne by them to cultivate crops and safeguard national food security
