2 Natural disasters such as earthquakes, storms, etc. may occur 3
anywhere and at any time which may endanger the lives of people.In
such conditions, help is provided by cadets. Different parties or
groups are made and are allotted with different tasks like Search and
rescue, helping in setting up and administration of relief camp, traffic
management, medical aid, Food Supply etc. Cadets being mentally
and physically fit helps to remove transport and cleans the area from
the debris created during the disaster. Also, affected civilians are
provided psychological support to remain calm during the phase.
NCC cadets during their training are informed about every cause that
may risk the human life and taught that how to react, respond and
rescue the situation and civilians. Each cadet risking their life to help
other NCC plays an important role In natural calamities which may
be natural or man-made.
3 It has been observed that the struggles for Freedom in India had been 3
a merger of a series of Political, Socio-Cultural, and Economic
factors that led to the rise of Nationalism. The Nationalist
Movements in India were early popular movements seeking
independence of India from Great Britain. Although actions such as
the Salt March in 1930 raised pressure on the colonialist
administration and won concessions, these remained limited in scope
and fell short of the complete independence sought.
The Swadeshi movement encouraged the Indian people to stop using
British products and start using their own handmade products. The

original Swadeshi movement emanated from the partition of Bengal
in 1905 and continued up to 1908. The Swadeshi movement which
was a part of the Indian freedom struggle was a successful economic
strategy to remove the British empire and improve economic
conditions in India. The Swadeshi movement soon stimulated local
enterprise in many areas. After Lord Curzon announced the partition
of Bengal in 1905, there was massive opposition from the people of
Bengal. Initially, the partition plan was opposed through press
campaign. The total follower of such techniques led to the boycott of
British goods. The British swiftly responded to the Quit India
Movement with mass detentions. Over 100,000 arrests were made,
mass fines were levied and demonstrators were subjected to public
flogging. Hundreds of civilians were killed in violence many shot by
the police army. The Quit India Movement turned out to be not very
successful and only lasted until 1943.

4 The various types of fire extinguishers are: 1+1+1=3
1. Soda acid extinguisher: These are used for extinguishing fires
involving ordinary combustible material, where the cooling effect
is achieved by water or solution containing large percentage of
water. They are conical/cylindrical in shape.
2. Foam type or Dry chemical powder extinguisher: They contain
dry chemicals or solution and are exclusively meant for
extinguishing fires involving inflammable liquids such as oils,
fats or grease, where blanketing the fire to isolate it from Oxygen
(Air) is required.
3. CTC Carbon dioxide and dry chemical extinguishers: They
contain chemicals, either liquid, gas or dry, and are mainly used
to fight fires involving ‘live’ electrical equipment etc. where, the

use of an electrically non-conductive extinguishing agent is most
importance.
5 Corruption: Corruption erodes trust, weakens democracy, hampers 2
economic development and further exacerbates inequality, poverty,
social division and the environmental crisis. Exposing corruption and
holding the corrupt to account can only happen if we understand the
way corruption works and the systems that enable it. Corruption can
happen anywhere: in business, government, the courts, the media,
and in civil society, as well as across all sectors from health and
education to infrastructure and sports.

6 a) Trafficking: Human Trafficking is the recruitment, 2
transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of people (Any one)
through force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting
them for profit. Men, women and children of all ages and
from all backgrounds can become victims of this crime,
which occurs in every region of the world. The traffickers
often use violence or fraudulent employment agencies and
fake promises of education and job opportunities to trick and
coerce their victims.
b) Child abuse: Child abuse is not just physical violence
directed at a child. It is any form of maltreatment by an adult,
which is violent or threatening for the child. This includes
neglect. When child abuse occurs in the home and the abuser
is, for example, the child’s parent or care-giver, this is a form
of domestic violence. But children are sometimes abused by
other adults on whom they are dependent, such as day nursery
workers, teachers and sports coaches.
Sometimes abuse is intentional, but not always. If parents or
caregivers are no longer able to cope with caring for the child, this
can result in dysfunctional behavior and abuse.
7 Creative thinking: Creative thinking refers to using abilities and soft 3
skills to come up with new solutions to problems. These are
techniques used to look at the issue from different and creative
angles, using the right tools to assess it and develop a plan. The focus
on creativity and innovation is important because most problems
might require approaches that have never been created or tried
before.
8 a) Team Work: A team is a group of people who work together 3
toward a common goal. Teams have defined membership (Any one)
(which can be either large or small) and a set of activities to
take part in. People on a team collaborate on sets of related
tasks that are required to achieve an objective. Each member is
responsible for contributing to the team, but the group as a
whole is responsible for the team’s success.
b) Personality development: Personality development is about
building your capacities, nurturing your talent, enhancing new
skill sets, working on your weaknesses, and transforming them
into strengths. ou, as an individual, have unique skill sets.

Your potential is multi-faceted, and investing in personality
development enables you to harness your strengths. Focusing
on individual personality development adds to your
capabilities and helps your dreams and aspirations turn into a
reality.

10 The invisible and odorless gas which we breathe, which sustains life and 1+1=2
produces an infinite variety of phenomena is what we call air. The envelope of air
surrounding the earth and extending to great heights is the atmosphere where vast
physical processes occur, giving rise to the ever-changing weather phenomena.

Different layers of atmosphere are:
(a) Troposphere
(b) Stratosphere
(c) Mesosphere

(d) Thermosphere

11 Air is a mechanical mixture of a variety of gases. The main constituents of this 1+1=2
mixture are nitrogen and oxygen, accounting for almost 99% of the whole, with
roughly three parts of nitrogen to one part of oxygen. There are small amounts or
traces of other gases.
The percentage of composition of dry air by volume is in the proportions as
under: -
Nitrogen - 78.09 %
Oxygen - 20.95 %
Argon - 0.93 %
Carbon dioxide - 0.03 %

OR

The clouds may be defined as a visible aggregate of minute particles of water in 2
the free air. Ice or clouds both are formed by the cooling of masses of damp air,
generated by upward motion and its accompanying expansion with a fall of
pressure.

12 The aims of including aero modeling in the NCC curriculum are to increase 3
awareness about Air related issues in the youth of our country. The aero modeling
provides an earnest approach to the understanding of an otherwise highly
technical subject, i.e., aerodynamics. The air-minded aero modeler of today is the
potential aircraft designer of tomorrow.
13 Aero models are classified according to the role and utility of the particular type. 1+2=3
These are static models, gliders, control line models, and RC models.

3. A ship may not always be berthed alongside when in harbor. It is at times 2+1=3
required to lay at anchorage for which knowledge of anchor work is essential.
Handling of anchor is an essential seamanship evolution and forms a must know
aspect of any seaman.
Anchor and cable are used to hold a ships position in water. The cable is designed
to act as a spring with the anchor holding it secured to the bottom of the sea. The
size and type of Anchors and cables depend on the tonnage and type of ship.
