43. Translate the following passage into Hindi:10 __

Agricultural reforms are necessary for the progress of our country. The methods

of agriculture of our farmers are very old and unscientific. The farmers do not use good

manures and modem means of irrigation. As a result of it land has lost its fertility. The

per acre production is not increasing as desired, There is shortage of edible oils and

pulses in our country. We are importing them from foreign countries. This gives terrible blow to our national dignity and prestige. This shortage of corn can be removed

by introducing reforms in agricultural methods. The farmers should be given new

Tools and manures at cheap rates. They should be taught to employ new and useful

methods of agricultural production.

44. Write the precis of the following passage and give it a suitable title: 10

The progress of a country, now-a-days is assessed in terms of economic

development that has been achieved and the measuring rod of economic development

is Gross National Product. To Gandhiji, it was a foreign concept. GNP is rather a fraud

upon the people. An increase in GNP in terms of money does not really mean an

equitable distribution of money. He had experience that even with an increase in

national income the poor remain poor. Most of the poor live in villages, rather most of

the people in India, live in villages. Thus, according to Gandhian economics, the hub of

production should be village not city. However big the industries may be, due to

mechanization, they just can't absorb the vast humanity in this country. Large scale

production, is according to him, alien to the very spirit of rural development as it is

capital oriented. Since the people are poor, they can organize and run only cottage

industries. It is realized by the prominent economists that this Gandhian way is the only

solution for the mass unemployment in this country.
