resources in accordance with the economic (profit maximisation) and social (public Total 3
welfare)
priorities of the country. Government can influence allocation of resources through:
(i) Tax concessions or subsidies Or
(ii) Directly producing goods and services: 1.5+1.5

every economic system. Government aims to reduce such inequalities of income and
wealth, through its budgetary policy. Government aims to influence distribution of income
by imposing taxes on the rich and spending more on the welfare of the poor. It will reduce
income of the rich and raise standard of living of the poor, thus reducing inequalities in the
distribution of income.

Capital expenditure refers to the expenditure which either creates an asset or causes a
reduction in the liabilities of the government.
● It is non-recurring in nature.
●It adds to capital stock of the economy and increases its productivity through expenditure
on long period development programmes, like Metro or Flyover.
Examples: Loan to states and Union Territories, expenditure on building roads, flyovers,
factories, purchase of machinery, repayment of borrowings, etc.
Revenue Expenditure
Revenue expenditure refers to the expenditure which neither creates any asset nor causes
reduction in any liability of the government.

• It is recurring in nature.
An expenditure is a revenue expenditure, if it satisfies the following two essential
conditions:
(i) The expenditure must not create an asset of the government. For example, payment of
salaries or pension is revenue expenditure as it does not create any asset. However, the
amount spent on construction of Metro is not a revenue expenditure as it leads to creation
of an asset.
(ii) The expenditure must not cause decrease in any liability. For example, repayment
of borrowings is not revenue expenditure as it leads to reduction in liability of the
government. It must be noted that Union Grants to states are treated as revenue
expenditure.

Or
(a) Yes, Rural development is critical in the context of the Indian economy’s overall growth and
development for the following reasons.
1. A large proportion of the population lives in rural areas, and their development and
contributions are extremely beneficial to nation-building efforts. Rural India cannot be developed
if it remains backward. 3+3 marks
2. The rural economy provides drinking water, milk, food, and raw materials to the urban sectors. Max.marks 6
As a result, the rural sector’s backwardness would be a major impediment to the economy’s overall
progress.
1. 3. Improvements in education, health, and sanitation in villages can aid in the prevention
of many urban problems, such as begging, rack picking, and roadside slumming.
2. Agriculture and related activities must be developed in order to provide gainful
employment in rural areas and improve overall food production.
(b) Organic farming, agricultural system that uses ecologically based pest controls
and biological fertilizers derived largely from animal and plant wastes and
nitrogen-fixing cover crops. Modern organic farming was developed as a response to the
environmental harm caused by the use of chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers in
conventional agriculture, and it has numerous ecological benefits.
Compared with conventional agriculture, organic farming uses fewer pesticides, reduces
soil erosion, decreases nitrate leaching into groundwater and surface water, and recycles
animal wastes back into the farm. These benefits are counterbalanced by higher food costs
for consumers and generally lower yields. Indeed, yields of organic crops have been found
to be about 25 percent lower overall than conventionally grown crops, although this can
vary considerably depending upon the type of crop. The challenge for future organic
agriculture will be to maintain its environmental benefits, increase yields, and reduce
prices while meeting the challenges of climate change and an increasing world population.

domestically. Import Substitution Strategy not only reduces an economy’s
dependence on the foreign goods but also provides impetus to the domestic firms. Marks 6
Government provides various financial encouragements, incentives, licenses to the
domestic producers to produce domestically the import substituted goods. This
would not only allow the domestic producers to sustain but also enables them to grow
as they enjoy the protective environment. They need not to fear from any
competition and also not to worry about their market share as license gives them the
monopoly status in the domestic market. Being monopolist, they earn more profits
and invest continuously in R&D and always look for new and innovative techniques.
This gradually improves their competitiveness and when they are exposed to the
international market they can survive and compete with their foreign counterparts.
(b) The poor performance of Public Sectors Enterprises in eighties made reform
increasingly urgent in the context of the broader strategy of the liberalization of the economy
to deal with the perceived weaknesses of India’ s development strategy in general and public
sector enterprises in particular. In this context, this paper tries to analyze the performance of
Central Public Sector Enterprises against the backdrop of liberalization measures introduced
in 1990s and afterward.
