struggle for him. After passing his class 10 exam, he chose the science stream for the plus-twoo
slage but was not permitted to write the Joint Entrance Exam for IT aspirants as he was blind.
 Isaid when ilT doesn't want me, Idon't want IT either. Let me find the best opportunity in

Il. Readthefollowing passage and answer the questions that follow. (5x1=5)
Tagore insisted that education should be imparted in an atmosphere of nature with all its
beauty, colours, sounds, forms and such other manifestations. In his opinion, education
in natural surroundings develops intimacy with the world and the power of communication
with nature. Nature according to him, was the manuscript of God. So he emphasized that
education must enable a person to realize his immediate relationship with nature. It should
take the child nearer nature and therefore, in close proximity of God. It should help him to
learn freely and spontaneously from the book of nature. Since nature never betrays the heart
that loves her, she willprovide the child with spontaneous development and natural growth.
