CH-4 HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, Q1. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:, For many decades, a country’s level of development was measured only in, terms of its economic growth. This meant that the bigger the economy of the, country, the more developed it was considered, even though this growth did not, really mean much change in the lives of most people., The idea that the quality of life people enjoy in a country, the opportunities, they have and freedoms they enjoy, are important aspects of development, is, not new., These ideas were clearly spelt out for the first time in the late eighties and, early nineties. The works of two South Asian economists, Mahbub-ul-Haq and, Amartya Sen are important in this regard., The concept of human development was introduced by Dr Mahbub-ul-Haq., Dr Haq has described human development as development that enlarges, people’s choices and improves their lives. People are central to all development, under this concept. These choices are not fixed but keep on changing. The basic, goal of development is to create conditions where people can live meaningful, lives., A meaningful life is not just a long one. It must be a life with some purpose., This means that people must be healthy, be able to develop their talents,, participate in society and be free to achieve their goals., , Q1.1 Which criterion was used in the early period to measure development ?, a. Industrial growth, b. Agricultural growth, c. Economic growth, d. Population growth, Q1.2 Who introduced the concept of Human development?, a. prof, Amartya Sen, b. Dr. Mahbub-Ul-Haq, c. Alexander Von Humboldt, d. Ratzel, Q1.3 Which of the following is not an important aspect of development?, a. The quality of life, b. Opportunities, c. Freedom, d. People’s movement, Q1.4 According to Dr Mehbub-Ul-Haq which of the following is central to all, development ?, a. Basic infrastructure, b. People, c. Stress on education, d. Safety and security, Q1.5 People must be healthy, be able to develop their talents, participate in society, and be free to achieve their goals are the features of which of the following?, a. Meaningful life, b. Enjoyable life, 12

c. Terrible life, d. Rigid life, Q2 Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:, 5x1=5, “As many as 33 countries record low levels of human development. A large proportion of, these are small countries which have been going through political turmoil and social, instability in the form of civil war, famine or a high incidence of diseases. There is an urgent, need to address the human development requirements of this groups through well thought out, policies., International comparisons of human development can show some very interesting results., Often people tend to blame low levels of human development on the culture of the people., For example, X country has lower human development because its people follow Y religion,, or belong to Z community. Such statements are misleading., To understand why a particular region keeps reporting low or high levels of human, development it is important to look at the pattern of government expenditure on the social, sector. The political environment of the country and the amount of freedom people have is, also important. Countries with high levels of human development invest more in the social, sectors and are generally free from political turmoil and instability. Distribution of the, country’s resources is also far more equitable., On the other hand, places with low levels of human development tend to spend more on, defence rather than social sectors. This shows that these countries tend to be located in areas, of political instability and have not been able to initiate accelerated economic development., 2.1 How many countries are lying in the low ranking HDI group?, a. 36, b. 33, c. 42, d. 44, 2.2 Which of the following reason responsible for low HDI rankings ?, a. high governmental expenditure on social sector, b. accelerated economic growth, c. equitable distribution of resources, d. political turmoil, 2.3 How does the political environment determines the country’s high HDI ranking?, a. The government is not accountable to its people., , 13
Page 13 :
b. The high level of corruption and poor governance., c. The government formulates policies for public welfare., d. Incompetency of the government schemes, 2.4 The countries with high level of human development invest more on which of the, following ?, a. Defence sector, b. Agricultural sector, c. Social sector, d. private sector, 2.5 The countries with high level of human development experiences which of the, following ?, a. political instability and Social turmoil, b. food insecurity and famines, c. high incidences of epidemics, d. accelerated economic development, Q3. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:, , 5x1=5, , “The human development index measures attainments in human development. It reflects what, has been achieved in the key areas of human development. Yet it is not the most reliable, measure. This is because it does not say anything about the distribution. The human poverty, index is related to the human development index. This index measures the shortfall in human, development. Since 1990, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has been, publishing the Human Development Report every year. This report provides a rank-wise list, of all member countries according to the level of human development. The Human, Development index and the Human Poverty index are two important indices to measure, human development used by the UNDP.”, It is a non-income measure. The probability of not surviving till the age of 40, the adult, illiteracy rate, the number of people who do not have access to clean water, and the number, of small children who are underweight are all taken into account to show the shortfall in, human development in any region. Often the human poverty index is more revealing than the, human development index., Looking at both these measures of human development together gives an accurate picture of, the human development situation in a country., , 14
Page 14 :
3.1 The key areas of human development does not include:, a. access to Resource, b. access to Health, c. access to Food, d. access to Education, 3.2 The shortfalls of human development include:, a. underweight children, b. adult literacy, c. access to clean water, d. high life expectancy, 3.3 The first human development report was published in ___________., a. 1989, b. 1990, c. 1991, d. 1992, 3.4 The human development report is published by:, a. UNESCO, b. UNGA, c. UNDP, d. WHO, 3.5 Which of the following is not true about human poverty index ?, a. It measures the shortfall of human development, b. It is income generated measure., c. It is often more revealing than the human development index., d. All of the above, , 15

Q4. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:, Both growth and development refer to changes over a period of time. The difference is that, growth is quantitative and value neutral. It may have a positive or a negative sign. This means, that the change may be either positive (showing an increase) or negative (indicating a, decrease)., Development means a qualitative change which is always value positive. This means that, development cannot take place unless there is an increment or addition to the existing, conditions. Development occurs when positive growth takes place. Yet, positive growth does, not always lead to development. Development occurs when there is a positive change in, quality., For example, if the population of a city grows from one lakh to wo lakhs over a period of, time, we say the city has grown. However, if a facilities like housing, provision of basic, services and other characteristics remain the same. Then this growth has not been, accompanied by development., 4.1 .Growth refers to –, (a) increase in size, (b) change in quality, (c) constant in size, (d) A simple change in quality, 4.2. Development means a qualitative change which is always, (a) value neutral, (b) value positive, (c) value negative, (d) value constant, 4.3. Which of the following doesn't define development., (a) Development Is always value positive, (b) Development occurs when positive growth take place, (c) Development means quantitative change, (d) Development means qualitative change, 4.4 In which of the following cases growth of a city is not accompanied by development, a) Provision of better housing facilities, b. Provision of standard educational facilities, 16, , 4x1=4
Page 16 :
c. Provision of better health facilities, d. Provision of better irrigation facilities, Q5. Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow:, International comparisons of human development are interesting. Size of the territory and per, capita income are not directly related to human development. Often smaller countries have, done better than larger ones in human development. Similarly, relatively poorer nation have, been ranked higher than richer neighbours in terms of human development., For example, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago have a higher rank than India in the human, development index despite having smaller economies. Similarly, within India. Kerala, performs much better than Punjab and Gujarat in human development despite having lower, per capita income., Countries can be classified into four groups on the basis of the human development scores, earned by them., , 5.1 in terms of human development relatively__________ Nations have been ranked, higher than ______, (a) poorer nations, richer neighbours, (b) richer neighbours, poorer nations, (c) smaller countries, bigger countries, (d) developed countries, developing countries, 5.2 Countries can be classified into how many groups on the basis of the human, development scores earned by them, (a) 2, 17

Read the note on outsourcing given below and the answer the questions that follow, Ralegan Siddhi is a small village in the district of Ahmednagar, Maharastra. It has become an, example for watershed development throughout the country. In 1975 this village was caught, in a web of poverty and illicit liquor trade. The transformation took place when a retired army, personnel, settled down in the village and took up the task of water development. He, 57
Page 57 :
convinced villagers about the importance of family planning and voluntary labour; preventing, open grazing, felling trees and liquor prohibition. Voluntary labour was necessary to ensure, minimum dependence on the government for financial aids. “It socialised the costs of the, projects.”, explained the activist. Even those who were working outside the village, contributed to the development by committing a month’s salary every year. Work began with, the percolation tank constructed in the village. In 1975 the tank could not hold water. The, embankment wall leaked. People voluntarily repaired the embankment. The seven wells, below it swelled with water in summer for the first time in the living memory of the people., The people reposed their faith in him and his visions., A youth group called Tarun Mandal was formed. The group worked to ban the dowry system,, caste discrimination and untouchability. Liquor distilling units were removed and prohibition, imposed. Open grazing was completely banned with a new emphasis on stall feeding. The, cultivation of water intensive crops like sugarcane was banned. Crops such as pulses, oilseeds, and certain cashcrops with low water requirements were encouraged. All elections to local, bodies began to be held on the basis of consensus. “it made community leaders complete, representatives of the people.”. a system of Nyay panchayats (informal courts) were also, setup. Since then, no case has been referred to the police. A Rs. 22 lakh school building was, constructed using only the resources of the village. No donations were taken. Money if, needed was borrowed and paid back. The villagers took pride in this self reliance. A new, system of sharing labour grew out of this infusion of pride and voluntary spirit. People, volunteered to help each other in agricultural operation. Landless labourers also gained, employment. Today the village plans to buy land for them in adjoining villages. At present, water is adequate; agriculture flourishing, though the use of fertilizers and pesticides is very, high. The prosperity also brings the question of ability of the present generation to carry on, the work after the leader of the movement who declared that,”Then process of Ralegan’s, evolution to an ideal village will not stop.
