Section ‘A’

Question 1.
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:

Rural India faces serious shortages-power, water, health facilities, roads etc. these are known and recognised. However, the role of technology in solving these and other problems is barely acknowledged and the actual availability of technology in rural areas is marginal. The backbone of the rural economy is agriculture, which also provides substance to cover the half the country’s population. The green revolution of the [1]970s was in fact, powered by the scientific work in various agricultural research institutions. While some fault the green revolution for excessive exploitation of water and land resources through over use of fertilizers, it did bring about a wheat surplus and prosperity in certain pockets of the country.

In rural India, there is a dire inadequacy of both science (i.eknowledge) and technology (which drives from science and manifests itself in physical form. The scope to apply technology to both farm and non-farm activities in rural areas is huge, as are the potential benefits. In fact, crop yields are far lower than what they are in demonstration farms, where science and technology are more fully applied. Technologies that reduce power consumptions of pumps are vital, unfortunately, their use is minimal, since agricultural power is free or largely subsidized. Similarly, there is little incentive to optimize through technology for processing and adding value could greatly enhance rural employment and incomes but at present deployment of technology is marginal. Cold storage and cold chains of transportation to market is of great importance for many agricultural products-particularly fruits and vegetables, but are non- existant. These are clearly technologies with an immediate return to investment, and benefits of the farmer, the end-customer, the technology provider.
