Q12.CASE BASED QUESTION
Read the source given below and answer the
questions that follows:
Different persons can have different developmental
goals. What may be development for one may
not be development for the other. It may even
be destructive for the other. Each one of us seeks
different things. We seek things that are most
important for them, i.e., that which can fulfil their
aspirations or desires. In fact, at times, two persons
or groups of persons may seek things which are
conflicting. A girl expects as much freedom and
opportunity as her brother, and that he also shares
in the household work. Her brother may not like
this. Similarly, to get more electricity, industrialists
may want more dams. But this may submerge
the land and disrupt the lives of people who are
displaced — such as tribal. They might resent
this and may prefer small check dams or tanks to
irrigate their land.
Besides seeking more income, one way or the
other, people also seek things like equal treatment,
freedom, security, and respect of others. They
resent discrimination. All these are important goals.
In fact, in some cases, these may be more important
than more income or more consumption because
material goods are not all that you need to live.
Money, or material things that one can buy with
it, is one factor on which our life depends. But the
quality of our life also depends on non- material
things mentioned above. For development, people
look at a mix of goals. Hence, the developmental
goals that people have are not only about better
income but also about other important things in life.

most appropriate option:

Q. 1. What can be the development goals for landless

respect to development?
(A) Different persons can have different
developmental goals
(B) What may be development for one may not be
development for the other.
(C) Development may even be destructive for the
other.
(D) All of the above

Q. 3. Apart from income, which of the following people


do not look for development?
(A) Equal treatment (B) Discrimination
(C) Freedom (D) Security
