The economics of owning and running a Ration Shop, the familiar name for the outlets in our
Public Distribution System (PDS), are such that under normal business terms, the shop-owner
could never make a profit. Yet (156) the government announces that new permits for ration shops
will be given out, there is frenzy in the market to grab one of these (157)? The answer is obvious:
the business is not for the honest and if one knows the (158), there is a fortune to be made.
What are there tricks of the trade? Getting fake names into the user list is the most obvious
options the State seems to be (159) a losing battle against this practice, judging by the endless
efforts to weed out bogus ration cards.
The next is to get the right customers on the list, not just more customers. These are people
who are registered but who do not have any interest in (160) on their entitlements. In a system
where caste and income certificates are for sale, it is not (161) to produce these documents for
mutual benefit. Receipts are duly made in their names, and the rations thus drawn are (162) off
into the open market.The sale price of an item like rice makes clear the (163) economics it costs
Rs. 8 in ration shop while in the latter it is Rs.30 or above. There are also customers who would
rather exchange their entitlements for hard cash at the beginning of the month.
As the degradation progresses, the shop keeper, in (164) with the official machinery, mangoes

the open market. The targeted group is usually not in a position to (165) itself to get its due. And
thus one has all the (166) of a good PDS business.

Directions (186-193) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given
below it. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while
answering some of the question.
It was in the offing. With shortages mounting across the board for water as they are for energy
it, was only inevitable that the Central Government would be stirred into starting a Bureau of Water
Efficiency (BWE), much like that Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) that was launched some years
ago.
Early reports suggest that the draft norms for various sectors consuming water will be created
by the BWE soon. The alarm bells have been ringing for some years now. Water availability per
capita in Indian has fallen from about 5 million liters in the 1950s to 1.3 million liters in 2010-
thats staggering 75 per cent drop in 50 years. Nearly 60 per cent of Indias aquifers have slumped to
critical in just the last 15 years. The rate at which bore wells are being plunged in every city with
no law to ban such extraction, groundwater tables have depleted alarmingly.
The BEEs efforts in the last seven years have only been cosmetic. The bureau has looked at
efficiency rating systems for white goods in the domestic sector, and has not paid attention to the
massive consumption of energy in metals manufacture, paper and textiles.
These sectors are very intense in both energy and water consumption. But very little attention
has been paid to the water and energy used per tone of steel or cement or aluminum that we buy,
and without significant changes in these areas, the overall situation is unlikely to change.
Use of water is inextricably interlinked with energy. One does not exist without the other. The
B WE should steer clear of the early mistakes of BEE- of focusing on the softer targets in the
domestic sector. Nearly 80 per cent of fresh water is used by agriculture, with industry coming a
close second. The domestic sectors consumption of fresh water is in single digits. So the BWEs
priority should be to look at measures that will get farmers and industrialists to follow good practices
in water use. Water resources have to be made, by law, an indivisible national asset. The protection
and withdrawal of this resource, as well as its sustainable development are of general importance
and therefore in the public interest. This well mean that individuals and organizations may own
land but not water or the other resources that lie below the first 20 meters of the surface of those
lands. Drilling of bore wells into such national assets will have to be banned, or at the very least
they must be regulated. What would be more sensible for the new water bureau to do would be to look
at some of the low-hanging fruits that can be plucked, and pretty quickly, with laws that can emanate
from the centre, without the risk of either dilution or inaction from state administrations. The
other tactical approach that the BWF can adopt is to device a policy that addresses the serious water
challenge in industry segments across a swathe of companies: this will be easier than taking on
the more disparate domestic sector which hurts the water crisis less than industry Implementing
a law is more feasible when the concentration is dense and identifiable. Industry offers this advantage
more than there domestic or the commercial sector of hotels and offices.
As for agriculture, though the countrys water requirement is as high as 80 per cent, the
growing of water within the loop in agriculture derisks the challenge of any perceived deficit. Rice,
wheat, sugarcane are crops that need water, logging, which ensures groundwater restoration.
Surfaces water evaporation doesnt amount to any more than 7-8 per cent and only strengthens
precipitation and rainfall. Agriculture and water need is not quite as much as threat as industry
and domestic sectors that account for the rest of the 20 per cent.
The primary challenge in industry and the building sector is that no conscious legal measures
have been enacted that stipulate growing your own water with measures that will put all water in
a loop in any residential or commercial building. This involves treating all used water to a, grade
that it can be up cycled for use in flush, tanks and for gardens across all our cities with the polluter,
owning the responsibility for treating and for reuse. The drop in fresh water remand can be dramatic
with such up cycle, reuse and recycle of treated water. Water by itself in industry and the domestic
sector, is not as much a challenge as pollution of water. Not enough measures exist yet to ensure
that such polluters shift the water back for resure. If legislation can ensure that water is treated
and reused for specific purposes within industry as well as in the domestic sector, this will make all
the difference to the crisis on fresh water.
So is the case in industry, especially in sector like textiles, aluminum and steel. Agriculture
offers us the amusing irony of the educated urbanites dependent on cereals like rice and wheat

that consume 4000 litres of water for every kg, while the fanner lives on the more nutritious millets
that consume less than half the quantity. Sugarcane consumes as much as 12,000 litres of water
for a killo of cane but you buy! A listing of such correlations of water used by every product that we
use in our daily lives will make much better sense than any elaborate rating system from the newly
formed BWE. Such sensitizing with concerted awareness campaigns that the new Bureau drives
will impact the urban consumer more that all the reseearch findings that experts can present,
What is important for us is to understand the life cycle impact in a way that we see the connect
between a product that we use and the resources it utilizes up to the point where we bring the
visible connect to destruction of natural resources of our ecosystems.
186. How according to the author, can the bureau sensitize the urban consumer about careful
utilization of water?
(1) By encouraging them to consume more rice instead of limits daily and thereby reduce the
amount of water consumption.
(2) By providing them more insight into the water consumption cycle of the textile, aluminium
and steel industries.
(3) By making them aware of the linkages between water consumption for daily activities and
the resources utilization and subsequent ecological destruction associated with it.
(4) By publishing research findings of experts in popular media whereby people gain awareness
on the impact of water misuse.
(5) By conducting elaborate drives which notify the urban population about the penalties levied
on misuse of water resources.,
187. Why, according to the author, is the water , consumption for agricultural activities the least
risky?
(1) Proportion of water consumed for, agricultural activities, is much, less, as compared to
that consumed for domestic and industrial purposes.
(2) Most farmers are aware of the popular methods of water conservation and hence do not
allow wastage of water.
(3) Water is fairly recycled through groundwater restoration due to logging and surface water
evaporation.
(4) Fanners in India mostly cultivate crops that require less amount of water.
(5) None of these
188. Which of the following is possibly the most appropriate title for the passage?
(1) Water Challengers in the New Millennium
(2) The Bureau of Water Efficiency Vs the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(3) Unchecked Urban Consumption of Water
(4) Challenges of the Agricultural Sector and Water Resources
(5) The Route to Conservation of Water Resources
189. What does low-hanging fruits that can be plucked, and pretty quickly mean in the context of
the passage?
(1) The bureau should employ the cheapest methods possible to effectively control the current
situation of improper usage of water resources.
(2) The bureau should target the industrial sector as well as the domestic sector to reduce
water wastage.
(3) The bureau should target the agricultural sector only producing quick results in reducing
wastage of water
(4) The bureau should ensure that all the state officials concerned with the mesures are
activity involved.
(5) The bureau should start with adopting measures which are simply to execute and produce
immediate results in reducing water wastage.
190. Which of the following according to the author, is/are the indication/s of water crises?
(A) Many agrarian areas in the country are facing a drought -like salutation.

191. The author suggests that the Bureau of Water Efficiency devise a strategy or make laws to meet
water challenges in the industrial segments rather than the domestic segments because .
(1) The industrial sector is the only one that is in a position to reduce its water consumption
by a significant margin.
(2) There is comparatively less serious water misuse in the domestic sector.
(3) It would be easy to identify the consumption patterns in the industrial sector because of
its density and visibility
(4) The industrial sector would be capable of paying the fines levied by the Bureau for water
misuse whereas the domestic sector would be in no such position.
(5) The industrial sector would be easier to manage in terms of making them understand the
importance of water conservation.
192. Which of the following, according to the author, is/are the step/s that the Bureau of Water
Efficiency can take to ensure proper utilization of water resources?
(A) Put in place measures that ensure proper water usage
(B) Concentrate on the water consumption patterns of the domestic sector alone.
(C) Monitor carefully the activity of digging bore wells.
