Question 31.
Explain five political outcomes of democracy. (5)
Or
Should democracy be judged by its outcome? Explain. (5)
Answer:
The five political outcomes of democracy are as follows

1. The most basic outcome of democracy is that it produces a government that is accountable to the citizens and responsive to the needs and expectations of the citizens.
2. Democracy is based on the idea of deliberation and negotiation.
3. A democratic government may take more time to follow procedures before arriving at a decision. But because it follows procedures, its decisions may be both more acceptable to the people and more effective. So. the cost of time that democracy pays is worth it.
4. Democracy ensures that decision-making will be based on norms and procedures. So, a citizen has the right and the means to examine the process of decision-making. This is known as transparency.
5. A democratic government is a legitimate government as it is the people’s own government.

Or
Democracy should be judged by its outcome because it opens the path of expectations which is one of the criteria for judging any democratic country.

The following points justify the above statement

• The examination procedure of democracy is eternal, it passes one test, it produces another test.
• It automatically gives rise to expectations as well as complaints by the people when they want to know about the functioning of democracy.
• The fact that people also complain about democracy indicates the awareness and the ability of people to expect and to look critically at power holders and the high and the mighty.
• It transforms people from the status of a subject into that of a citizen.
• Most individuals today believe that their vote makes a difference to the way the government is run and to their self-interest.

Discuss anthropogenic factors of land degradation. (5)
Answer:
Planning is the widely accepted strategy for judicious use of resources in a country like India. India has enormous diversity in the availability of resources. Through planning, regions that have shortage of vital resources and those having adequate quantities, receive equal attention.

There are regions which are rich in certain types of resources but are deficient in some other resources. For example, Arunachal has an abundance of water but lacks Infrastructural development. There are some regions which can be considered self-sufficient in terms of the availability of resources. For example, the states of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh are rich in minerals and coal deposits.

There are some regions which have acute shortages of some vital resources, For example, the state of Rajasthan is well endowed with solar and wind energy but lacks in water resources.
Or
The anthropogenic factors responsible for land degradation in India are. Deforestation due to mining activities in Jharkhand. Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha have caused severe degradation Mining sites are abandoned after excavation work is completed, leaving deep scars.

Mineral processing like grinding of limestone for cement industry as well as calculate and soapstone for ceramic industry generate huge quantities of dust which falls on land This retards the process of infiltration of water into the soil.
Effluents as waste from industries have become a major source of land and water pollution in many parts of the country.
Over-irrigation in Punjab, Haryana, and Western Uttar Pradesh is responsible for land degradation due to waterlogging, leading to increase in salinity.

require, Since the deposits in the bank account can be withdrawn on demand, these deposits are called demand deposits.

(ii) Provide Loans Banks keep only a small portion of their deposits as cash with themselves Banks use the major position of the deposits to give loans. There is a huge demand for loans for various economic activities. Banks make use of the deposits to meet the loan requirements of the people, In this way, banks provide credit to set up industries and in agriculture. This generates more employment and raises income thereby bringing economic development.

Or
The Reserve Bank of India supervises the functioning of formal sources of loans in India Functions of the Reserve Bank of India are as follows The Reserve Bank of India monitors that the banks maintain the cash balance and do not give all the deposits as loans. The Reserve Bank of India ensures that the banks give loans not just to profit-making businesses and rich traders, but also to small cultivators, small-scale industries, small borrowers, etc. Periodically, banks have to submit information to the Reserve Bank of India on how much they are lending, to whom, etc. The rate of interest charged on loans given by the banks is decided by the Reserve Bank. In this way, the RBI keeps a check on all the activities of banks and checks the flow of credit.

money’ but let it come up as questions. The stock of money consists of currency held by the public and the demand deposits that they hold with the banks. This is the money that people can use as they wish and the government has to ensure that the system works smoothly.

What would happen when the government declares that some of the currency notes used by people would be made invalid and would be replaced by new currency? In India, during November 2016, currency notes in the denomination of ₹ 500 and ₹ 1,000 were declared invalid. People were asked to surrender these notes to the bank by a specific period and receive new ₹ 500, ₹ 2,000, or other currency notes.

This is known as ‘demonetisation’. Sitice then, people were also encouraged to use their bank deposits rather than cash for
transactions. Hence, digital transactions started by using bank-to-bank transfers through the internet or mobile phones, cheques, ATM cards, credit cards, and Point of Sale (POS) swipe machines at shops. This is promoted to reduce the requirement of cash for transactions and also control corruption.

Question 35.
Read the given extract and answer the following questions.
Another way of classifying economic activities in sectors could be based on who owns assets and is responsible for the delivery of services. In the public sector, the government owns most of the assets and provides all the services. In the private sector, ownership of assets and delivery of services is in the hands of private individuals or companies.

Railways or post office is an example of the public sector whereas companies like Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited (TISCO) or Reliance Industries Limited (RIL.) are privately owned. Activities in the private sector are guided by the motive to earn profits. To get such services we have to pay money to these individuals and companies.

The purpose of the public sector is not just to earn profits. Governments raise money through taxes and other ways to meet expenses on the services rendered by it. Modern-day governments spend on a whole range of activities. There are several things needed by the society as a whole but which the private sector will not provide at a reasonable cost
(i) The bifurcation into the public and private sector is on what basis? (1)
(ii) State one reason each as to why railways and post offices are counted in the public sector. (1)
(iii) State two reasons why the public sector is needed in a country like India. (2)

dramatic actions in different parts of India, the HSRA targeted some of the symbols of British power. In April 1929, Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt threw a bomb in the Legislative Assembly. In the same year, there was an attempt to blow up the train that Lord Irwin was traveling in. Bhagat Singh was 23 when he was tried and executed by the colonial government. During his trial, Bhagat Singh stated that he did not wish to glorify the cult of the bomb and pistol but wanted a revolution in society: ‘Revolution is the inalienable right of mankind.’ Freedom is the imprescriptible birthright of all. The labourer is the real sustainer of society. To the altar of this revolution we have brought our youth as incense, for no sacrifice is too great for so magnificent a cause. We are content.
