नमूना प्रश्न पत्र (Model Paper)

Section-A
(READING)

1. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:

The green revolution was a period of agricultural transformation in India that began in the 1960s. It introduced high yielding varieties of seeds, modern irrigation techniques and chemical fertilizers to increase food production. Mr. M.S. Swaminathan, known as the father of India's Green Revolution, played a crucial role in this transformation. The movement primarily focused on wheat and rice cultivation in states like Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh. As a result, India became self-sufficient in food grain production by the 1970s ending its dependence on food imports. Wheat production increased from 11 million tonnes in 1960 to 73 million tonnes by 2006. However, the Green Revolution had some negative effects including depletion of ground water, soil degradation and increased regional inequality. Small and marginal farmers in rain-fed areas did not benefit equally. Despite its limitations, the Green Revolution saved millions from starvation and remains a significant milestone in India's agricultural history.

2. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:

Tourism has emerged as one of India's fastest growing industries, contributing significantly to the national economy while simultaneously influencing the country's cultural fabric. This sector presents both tremendous opportunities and considerable challenges that require thoughtful consideration. India's rich cultural heritage, historical monuments, diverse landscape and spiritual traditions attract millions of domestic and international tourists annually. Tourism generates employment for guides, hotel workers, artisans and transporters particularly benefiting local communities near tourist destinations. Foreign tourists bring valuable foreign exchange, strengthening Indian economy. The industry also promotes cultural exchange, helping preserve traditional arts, crafts and festivals. States like Rajasthan, Kerala and Goa have prospered through tourism, developing better infrastructure and facilities.

However, uncontrolled tourism has serious drawbacks. Popular sites like the TajMahal and hill stations face environmental degradation due to overcrowding and pollution. The commercialization of culture sometimes leads to the loss of authentic traditions as performances become mere entertainment for tourists. Local communities may experience rising costs of living as prices inflate in tourist areas. Additionally, some historical sites suffer damage from irresponsible tourist behaviour. The gap between tourist-focused development and local needs can create resentment among residents. Sustainable tourism is the solution that balances economic benefits with cultural and environmental preservation. This includes limiting visitor numbers at sensitive sites, promoting responsible tourist behaviour, ensuring local communities benefit fairly from tourism revenue and investing in heritage conservation. Eco-tourism and rural tourism initiatives can distribute benefits more widely while maintaining cultural authenticity and environmental integrity.

i. How does tourism benefit local communities?      (1)

ii. Name two Indian states that have prospered through tourism.      (1)

iii. What environmental problem is faced by popular tourist places like the Taj Mahal?      (1)

That is when I joined the African National Congress, and that is when the hunger for my own freedom became the greater hunger for the freedom of my people.

The following Sunday Lencho came a bit earlier than usual to ask if there was a letter for him. It was the postman himself who handed the letter to him while the postmaster, experiencing the contentment of a man who has performed a good deed, looked on from his office. Lencho showed not the slightest surprise on seeing the money; such was his confidence- but he became angry when he counted the money. God could not have made a mistake, nor could he have denied Lencho what he had requested. Immediately, Lencho went up to the window to ask for paper and ink.
