Question 4)

For thousands of years, man has exploited the earth in the name of development. In return, instead of replenishing it, we humans defile it and pollute the environment. Be it forests, natural resources, water, soil, rain, mountains, winds, flora or fauna, we have ravaged it in the name of our use and needs. By making concrete jungles out of green belts, we have destroyed the ecology in the garb of growth. After exploiting the earth for hundreds and thousands of years, the planet is now taking its revenge. Can we grudge this, for this is our own doing and we cannot escape the penalty? But then is it too late to correct our mistakes? Well, pause for a moment and think. For the time immemorial most of the people have initially been concerned with the goals to achieve and then pragmatically considered means available to them. In other words end mattered first, means were chosen according to their compatibility with desired ends. In the premise of this paradigm evaluate the following thoughts. (a) What is the relation between means and ends? b) What was the idea of Gandhi in this regard? (c) Illustrate the relevancy of the whole concept in context of modern world.

More Indian children are in school than ever before, but the quality of government schools has sunk to spectacularly low levels.

India has had a legacy of weak schooling for its young, even as it has promoted high-quality government-financed universities. In the light of the grim picture of public schooling in India, suppose you are a District Collector, and a group of poor people approach to make you aware about the pathetic conditions of public schools in their areas. They handed you a letter that contains five problems regarding dismal states of schools i.e. (a) Lack of hygienic toilet facility especially for girls as there are common toilets only, (b) Non availability of clean drinking water, (c) Lack of proper security, (d) Absentee teachers and (e) Rude behavior of teachers and staff with the students. Because of such problem often parents are not sending their children. Dropout rate is also high. Your education minister also expects something concrete from you, as he has to answer local public and media about this issue. With respect to such problems how will you go about providing solutions so that your action may become example for others to learn? (250 Words)
