1. Although Indians spend less money on allopathic medicines than people in most
Asian countries, more than 40,000 drug formulations are available here. All
manufacturers are required by law to provide information about their product
either on the packaging or in a pamphlet inside. But, in many cases, this
information is very meagre and hard to understand.
2. Many doctors, too do not tell their patients anything about the drugs they
prescribe. There are two areas where we should be concerned about when we take
drugs; the side effects and the failure to follow directions. Many people taking a
drug will notice an undesirable reaction, usually minor. But even the mildest drug
can do harm if taken improperly, long enough or in excessive doses. And
everyone responds to a drug differently.
3. Many of us disobey prescription instructions on how much to take and when. Its
easy to fall into thinking that more of the drug will speed up the healing. It is more
common, however, for people to stop taking a drug when they begin to feel better.
This too, can be dangerous. What are the steps to be taken for safety? Take a drug
only as recommended on the label or by the doctor’s prescription and if you feel
ill after taking a drug, check it with a doctor. Do not mix drugs, and check
whether any food or activities are to be avoided.
a. How are drug users to be instructed by the manufactures? Choose the correct
option: 1
i. Doctors should give a manual of instruction.

d. What are the steps to be taken for safety while taking drug? 2
11. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
Rabies is spread only by the bite of an infected animal. The virus enters the body
through broken skin or the eyes, nose or mouth, and travels through nerves to the
brain. The victim of the disease has a wild overpowering desire for water but has
fits at its very sight. It is useless to attempt at pouring water down his throat
because it leads to more fits that close the muscles around his throat and force him
to fight for every breath he takes.
In the end, death mercifully puts an end to his suffering. The bitten dogs show
typical signs of rabies. They become restless, they wander aimlessly, hitting
against objects, they eat strange things – cloth, sticks and stones. They bark as if
something is struck in their throats. They bite other dogs and so the circle of
infection widens. The vaccine for the treatment of rabies was first discovered by
Louis Pasteur, the celebrated French Scientist. Since then, the terror of rabies has
been controlled. But the dogs must be taken proper care of, and, if necessary,
killed. It is not possible to vaccinate everybody, because vaccine sometimes
makes people very ill. According to a study made in the United States, it was
found that one person in each seven hundred who was vaccinated became ill.
a. Choose the correct option from the alternatives given: 1
The most prominent symptom of rabies in human is,
i. High fever ii. Seizures iii. Wild desire for water iv. Skin rash

SECTION – C (READING)
23. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
1. For many years now the governments have been promising the eradication of
child labour in hazardous industries in India. But the truth is that despite all the
rhetoric, no government so far has succeeded in eradicating this evil, nor has any
been able to ensure compulsory primary education for every Indian child. Between
60 and 100 million children are still at work instead of going to school, and around
10 million are working in hazardous industries. India had the biggest child
population of 380 million in the world; plus the largest number of children who
are forced to earn a living.
2. We have many laws that ban child labour in hazardous industries. According to
the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act 1986, the employment of
children below the age of 14 in hazardous occupations has been strictly banned.
But each state has different rules regarding the minimum age of employment. This
makes the implementation of these laws difficult.
3. Also, there is no ban on child labour in non-hazardous occupations. The act
applies to the organized or factory sector and not the unorganised or informal
sector where most children find employment as cleaners, servants, porters, waiters,
among other forms of unskilled work. Thus, child labour continues because the
implementation of the existing law is lax.
4. There are industries, which have a special demand for child labour because of
their nimble fingers, high level of concentration and capacity to work hard at
abysmally low wages. The carpet industry in U.P. and Kashmir employs children
to make handknotted carpets. There are 80,000 child workers in Jammu and
Kashmir alone. In Kashmir because of the political unrest, children are forced to
work while many schools are shut. Industries like glass want to remain
competitive by employing children.
5. The truth is that it is poverty which is pushing children into the brutish labour
market. We have 260 million people below the poverty line in India, a large
number of them are women. Poor and especially woman-headed families have no
option but to push their little ones in this hard life in hostile conditions, with no
human or labour rights.
6. There is a lobby which argues that there is nothing wrong with children working
as long as the environment for work is conducive to learning new skills but studies
have shown that the children are made to do boring, repetitive and tedious jobs
and are not taught new skills as they grow older. In these hellholes like the sweet
shops of the old, there is no hope.
Page 24
-7- NB/XI/AEN/1
7. Children working in hazardous industries are prone to debilitating diseases
which can cripple them for life. By sitting in cramped, damp and unhygienic
spaces, their limbs become deformed for life. Inside matchstick, fireworks and
glass industries they are victims of bronchial diseases and T.B. their mental and
physical development is permanently impaired by long hours of work. Once
trapped, they can’t get out of this vicious circle of poverty. They remain
uneducated and powerless. Finally, in later years, they too are compelled to send
their own children to work. Child labour perpetuates its own nightmares.
8. If at all the government was serious about granting children their rights, an
intensive effort ought to have been made to implement the Supreme Court’s
Directive of 1997 which laid down punitive action against employers of child
labour. Only compulsory primary education can eliminate child labour.
9. Surely, if 380 million children are given a better life and elementary education,
India’s human capital would be greatly enhanced. But that needs, as former
President Abdul Kalam says, “A second vision”.
a. What is that one reason that is leading to the increase in child labour? 1
(i) Poverty
(ii) Unemployment
(iii) Hazardous occupation
(iv) Increase in population
b. Why does child labour still continue despite of laws and Acts
prohibiting Child labour? 1
(i) Because parents of the child do not care
(ii) Because the laws does not apply to unorganized or informal sector
(iii) Because children wants to earn money due to poverty
(iv) Because they are treated with love and care
c. What can eliminate child labour? 1
(i) Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation Act) 1986
(ii) Collective efforts of government and social organisations
(iii) Compulsory primary education
(iv) Special Task Force
d. Find the antonym of the word ‘abysmally’ used in paragraph 4. 1

(ii) Very unfriendly (paragraph 5)
g. ‘This makes the implementation of these laws difficult.” What does
‘this’ mean here? (paragraph 2) 1
h. What are the two adverse effects of hazardous industries on children? 2

22. Read the source below and answer the questions that follow:
Women and changing traditions
The ideas of dignity of individual and citizenship received no attention
during this period. The men belonging to aristocratic families dominated public
life. They were also the decision maker in their families. They educated their
sons only to take part in the business or in public life.
But the position of women in the families of merchants was somewhat
better. Shopkeepers were greatly helped by their wives in running the shops. In
the families of bankers and merchants, women looked after the business when
male members went to other places for some work.
In the field of literature, some women however, did some creative work.
They were sensitive about humanist education. A women scholar Cassandra
Fedele (1465-1558 AD) was one of the few women who questioned the idea
that the women were incapable of achieving the qualities of a humanist thinker.
Fedele was one of the many Venetian writers who criticized the republic for
creating a highly limited definition of freedom that favoured the desires of men
over those of women. The writings of women scholars revealed their conviction
that they should have economic power, property and education to show their
worth in a world dominated by men.

hectares of forest land every year. This is an alarming situation indeed.
Increasing destruction and degradation of forests is leading to large scale
denudation of hill slopes, soil erosion, and erratic rainfall resulting in floods
and droughts. These have become major problems for us. It is now generally
realised that forests are life-givers and play an important role in maintaining the
ecological balance. It is, therefore, necessary for us to conserve the forest
resources and increase the forest area. This can partially be achieved by
programmes like social forestry. Although limited success has been achieved in
social forestry, its main objective is to fulfil the basic needs of fuel and fodder.

Self-determination, the process by which a group of people, usually possessing
a certain degree of national consciousness, form their own state and choose their own
government. As a political principle, the idea of self-determination evolved at first as a
by-product of the doctrine of nationalism to which early expression was given by the
French and American Revolution. In the World War I, the Allies accepted self-
determination as a peace aim. In his Fourteen Points – the essential terms for peace,
U.S. President, Woodrow Wilson listed self-determination as an important objective for
the post war world. The result was the fragmentation of the old Austro-Hungarian and
Ottoman empire and Russia’s former Baltic territories into number of new states.
After the World War II, promotion of self-determination among subject people
became one of the chief goals of the United Nations. The UN’s predecessor, the League
of Nations had also recognized the principle but it was in the UN that the idea received
its clearest statement and affirmation.
The UN charter gave two meaning of the term self-determination. First, a state
is said to have the right of self-determination in the sense of having the right to choose
Page 95
-3- NB-XI/PSC/1
freely its political, economic, social and cultural system. Second, the right to self
determination is defined as the right of the people to constitute itself in a state or
otherwise freely determine the form of its associations with an existing state. (Internet
source)

Judicial activism through a process known as Public Interest Litigation (PIL)
has emerged as a powerful mechanism of social change in India. The Indian democracy
enables citizens to change the government but not their social and economic conditions.
The implementation of legislation to remove exploitation and discrimination against the
poor and weak has been neglected, and the government has failed to provide basic
education and economic stability. To counter this situation, PIL was created to
empower ordinary citizens. Judicial action initiated through PIL petitions have brought
relief to a wide variety of cases by delivering justice to the weaker sections and has
taken action against political corruption and unaccountability. PIL has become an
integral part of the judicial system. Judicial activism is likely to continue and force the
state to act responsibly for the welfare of the people. (ResearchGate)
