mportance for decisiions regarrding theiir land, sh
he would want
tthat her viiews are also
a
considered.

2.Urban unemployed youth 's most important goal will be to get employed and
get good salary which will keep him and his family happy.
3. a boy from a rich urban family would have a goal to carry on his family
business very well in future. Also, if he is small, he would want his parents to
satisfy his each and every need. He would want to get educated abroad.
4.Adivasi from narmada valley would have a goal of being able to keep her/his
family happy. They would want their area to be well- developed in case of
schools,water supply, electricity. etc. They would also aspire to be treated with
dignity.

2. Differentiate between renewable and non-renewable resources.

The difference in:
Renewable resources
1) the resources that can be renewed by reproduction are called renewable
resources.
2) Renewable resources are inexhaustible.
3) Renewable resources are not affected by the human activities.
4) All biotic resources are renewable.
5) For example: air and water.
non-renewable resources
1)the resources that are present in fixed quantities are called non-renewable
resources.
2) Non-renewable resources are inexhaustible.
3) Non renewable resources are affected by human activities.
4) Some abiotic resources are non-renewable.
5) For example- fossil fuels and minerals.

3. Why do you think average income is an important criteria for

development? Explain.

Average Income per capita income helps us to know the actual earning of an
individual. By this we can estimate the living standards and the savings that the
individual could make. This indeed a better indicator of the citizens of the
nation.

It is the average income earned by each person of the country in a year.

It establishes a relationship between the income and population of a
country.
Countries with higher PCI are considered developed as it determines the
amount of money at the disposal of each person of the country.
World Bank uses PCI for classifying countries as developed and
developing in its World Development Report.
However, PCI hides the inequalities in income in the society.
Indias current PCI is approximately Rs. 38000.
In India, the PCI of Punjab is highest while that of Bihar is the lowest.

4. What is the criteria used by the Word bank? What are the limitations of the
criteria?
The World Bank uses Per Capita income for comparing different countries.
Per Capita Income is the average income of a country as a whole.
The limitation of this citeria is that some people earn a lot more than the
per capita income of a country while some people earn very less than the
per capita income. According to our textbook, the per capita income of
India is 28,000 Rs (the present per capita income of India is 61,000 Rs). But
there are people who might earn about 2,000,000 Rs while some might earn
100 Rs. So, in other words per capita income hides disparities.
5. Give a detailed account of Human Development Index.

*A tool developed by the United Nations to measure and rank countries

levels of social and economic development based on four criteria: Life
expectancy at birth, mean years of schooling, expected years of schooling and
gross national income per capita.
*The HDI makes it possible to track changes in development levels over time
and
to
compare
development
levels
in
different
countries.
*The concept of HDI goes beyond income and growth to cover all human
development with the object of improving the conditions of people from all
angles. It is a broader approach to development.
* The following are the basic components of Human Development Index:

Life expectancy at birth

Mean years of schooling
Expected years of schooling
Gross national income (GNI) per capita

United Nations calculates the HDI for the U.N. members. Mahbub ul Haq and
Amartya Sen were the pioneers in HDI calculation.

6. Why is the issue of sustainability important for development?

The issue of sustainability is important for development because development
must be in tandem with the future. If natural resources are not sustained, then
development will stagnate after a point of time. Exploiting resources
unethically will ultimately undo the development that a country may have
achieved. This is because in the future, those resources will not be available
for further progress.
7. Differentiate between Economic Growth and Economic Development.
In economics, growth refers to the aggregate increase in the Gross Domestic
Product of a country. It is associated with growth in economic activities
related to production and consumption. It can be measured with the help of
economic data.

Development refers to an increase in the overall living standards of the

citizens of a country. It is qualitative in nature. It is indicated by change in
quality of life and the availability of infrastructure to common citizens along
with their per capita income. Social indicators like life expectancy, mortality
rate, etc. are used to evaluate development.
Economic growth is not necessarily inclusive but economic development has
to include a large section of population to create an impact.
Economic growth however, forms an important basis of development as it
generates the resources that are required for development.
8. Explain the steps taken to calculate the BMI.
first take out your weight in kg, then take out your height in metres after
taking them out square your height in metres , then divide your mass by
the squared height. the answer would be the bmi . Judge your personal
BMI result against the following scale :
A BMI of less than 18 means you are under weight.

A BMI of less than 18.5 indicates you are thin for your height.

A BMI between 18.6 and 24.9 indicates you are at a healthy weight.

A BMI between 25 and 29.9 suggests you are overweight for your height.

A BMI of 30 or greater indicates obesity. If you are obese, consider

consulting a doctor or losing weight.
9. Explain the term Sustainable Development. Suggest two measures to
ensure sustainable development.

Sustainable development: Development which does not cause overuse of

resources, at the same time replenishing the existing resources is called as

sustainable development. Sustainable development is essential for economic

growth because it means development should take place without damaging
the environment, and development in the present should not compromise
with the needs of the future generations. Preservation of resources determine
the economic activities of the nation hence, promote economic growth.
Reduce our dependency on heavy metals and fossil fuels such as coal,
oil and natural gas.
Reduce our dependency on synthetic chemicals.
Reduce our destruction of nature which includes clearing of forest
and natural habitats for human needs.
The fourth principal is to ensure that we dont stop people from
meeting their needs in order to achieve environmental sustainability.
We must maintain a balance between environmental and economic
sustainability.
Reduce our dependency on heavy metals and fossil fuels such as coal,
oil and natural gas.
Reduce our dependency on synthetic chemicals.
Reduce our destruction of nature which includes clearing of forest
and natural habitats for human needs.
The fourth principal is to ensure that we dont stop people from
meeting their needs in order to achieve environmental sustainability.
We must maintain a balance between environmental and economic
sustainability.

10. Explain any two reasons for the need of environment friendly economic
growth and suggest ways to achieve it.
Reasons for the need of environment friendly economic growth are:
1. Present production technology has polluted the atmosphere and water
bodies with garbage, smoke & poisonous gases.
2.Rapid economic growth and industrialization have led to depletion of
natural resources like fossil fuels.
Suggestions to achieve it:

1.Increased use of renewable & clean sources of energy, less use of fossil
fuels, organic farming.
2. Measures to reduce global warming and global limits an carbon
emissions etc.

Chapter 2- Sectors of Indian Economy

1. Why do you think NREGA 2005 is referred to as Right to work?
National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) is an Indian job
guarantee scheme, enacted by legislation on August 25, 2005 but was renamed
on 2 October 2009 as The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment
Guarantee Act (MGNREGA).The MGNREGA achieves twin objectives of rural
development and employment.
This act aims at enhancing the livelihood security of people in rural areas by
guaranteeing hundred days of wage-employment in a financial year to a rural
household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.

2. Explain any three types of unemployment in India.

Following are the types of unemployment:

1. Structural Unemployment: Structural unemployment is long-term and chronic unemployment arises from
imbalance between the skills and other uniqueness of workers in the market and the needs of employers.

2. Frictional Unemployment: This unemployment involves people in the middle of transiting between jobs,
searching for new one; it is well-matched with full employment. It is sometimes called search unemployment
and can be charitable.

3. Seasonal Unemployment: Seasonal unemployment outcome from the fluctuations in demands for labour in
convinced industries because of the seasonal nature of production.

4.
Cyclical Unemployment: Cyclical or Keynesian unemployment is known as demand deficient
unemployment, occurs when there is not enough combined demand in the economy. This is caused by a
business cycle recession and salary not falling to meet the equilibrium rate.

5. Classical Unemploy
yment: Classical or real-wa
age unemplo
oyment occurss when real w
wages for a o
occupation
are put above the ma
arket-clearing level. This is
s frequently ccredited to government in
ntervention ass with the
minimum wage or labo
our unions.

6. Disgu
uised Unemployment: The
e term disguiised unemplo
oyment referss to the masss unemployment and
underemp
ployment which overcome
e in the agrricultural secctor of an underdevelope
ed and overrpopulated
country.

7. Resid
dual Unemplo
oyment: This kind of une
employment iss cause by personal facttors such ass old age,
physical or
o mental disa
ability, poor work
w
attitudes and inadequa
ate training.

8. Techn
nological Une
employment: This type of unemployme
ent is caused
d by changess in the tech
hniques of
production
n. Technical changes
c
are taking place continually le
eading to the finding of ne
ew production
n methods
involving a good deal of mechanization. This logically ressults in the d
displacementt of labour a
and finally
unemploy
yment.

t Goverrnment.
T
There is no denying th
he fact that a public secctor is very
y important. The follow
wing reason

ssubstantiatee the fact
11. The publiic sectors purpose
p
is not
n to earn money butt to benefit the people at all costs.
22. The publiic sector provides man
ny essentiall things at rreasonable cost which
h benefits th
he
ccommon man a lot.

3. The public sector has the necessary resources to set up heavy industries which require a lot
of money, but private sector cannot do so.
4. It is mainly held by the government which so often bears some of the cost for the benefit of
the public, essentially for the poor people. People are provided with essential commodities like
wheat, kerosene oil etc. at the lower prices.
5. Railways, Post Offices, Steel Plants, etc. are some examples of the public sector activities.
Thus, the public sector contributes to the economic development of a nation. All public sector
enterprises greatly contribute to the economic development of a nation. So, its existence is
imperative for the overall growth of a country.

6. Differentiate between the Organized and the unorganized sectors.

The unorganized sector consists of casual workers; self employed persons
in un-organized sector and private households; and others employed in
organized and unorganized enterprises that do not receive fixed or regular
wages, are not eligible either for paid, sick or annual leave or for any social
security benefits given by the employer. Their terms of employment render
them liable to be terminated at any time. The major portion of workforce in
India is employed in unorganised sector.
Organised sector consists of workers in private or public sector that receive
regular salaries, emoluments and other benefits including leaves and social
security in the form of provident funds and gratuity. They work under
fixed terms of employment and cannot be terminated in a casual manner
without notice.

7. How would income and employment increase if farmers are provide with
irrigation and market facilities?
Income and employment increase if farmers were provided with irrigation
and marketing facilities because it lessens the dependency of the farmers
on the uncertainties of monsoons for irrigation and better bargains in the
market which fetches them good income. The farmers can use this income
as credit for further capitalisation on their resources.

group of individuals. Oil India Ltd. (OIL) is jointly owned by public and
private sector.
Cooperative sector industries are owned and operated by the producers or
suppliers of raw materials, workers or both. They pool in the resources and
share the profits or losses proportionately such as the sugar industry in
Maharashtra, the coir industry in Kerala. Example: Amul, Lijjat Papd.
