    The First World War left a deep imprint on European society and polity. Soldiers came to be placed above civilians. Politicians and publicists laid great stress on the need for men to be aggressive, strong and masculine. The media glorified trench life. The truth, however, was different. Aggressive war propaganda and national honour occupied centre stage in the public sphere, while popular support grew for conservative dictatorships that had recently come into being.

    The Indian landmass has a central location between East and West Asia. India is a southward extension of the Asian continent. The trans-Indian Ocean routes, which connect the countries of Europe in the West and the countries of East Asia, provide a strategic central location to India. The Deccan Peninsula protrudes into the Indian Ocean, thus helping India to establish close contact with West Asia, Africa, and Europe from the western coast and with Southeast and East Asia from the eastern coast. No other country has a long coastline on the Indian Ocean as India has and indeed, it is India’s eminent position in the Indian Ocean, which justifies the naming of an Ocean after it. Since the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, India’s distance from Europe has been reduced by 7000 km. India’s contacts with the World have continued through ages but her relationships through the land routes are much older than her maritime contacts. The various passes across the mountains in the north have provided passages to the ancient travellers, while the oceans restricted such interaction for a long time. These routes have contributed to the exchange of ideas and commodities since ancient times.
    1. When did the Suez Canal first open? How has it helped India? (1)
    2. State any two reasons that make India’s strategic location at the head of the Indian Ocean so important. (1)

It also aimed at sustainable development to address the cause of drought, deforestation and soil erosion. One-third of the proposed jobs have been reserved for women. Prime Minister Rozgar Yozana is another scheme which was started in 1993. The aim of the programme is to create self-employment opportunities for educated unemployed youth in rural areas and small towns. They are helped in setting up small business and industries. Rural Employment Generation Programme was launched in 1995. The aim of the programme is to create self-employment opportunities in rural areas and small towns. A target for creating 25 lakh new jobs has been set for the programme under the Tenth Five Year plan. Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana was launched in 1999. The programme aims at bringing the assisted poor families above the poverty line by organising them into self help groups through a mix of bank credit and government subsidy. Under the Pradhan Mantri Gramodaya Yozana launched in 2000, additional central assistance is given to states for basic services such as primary health, primary education, rural shelter, rural drinking water and rural electrification. The results of these programmes have been mixed. One of the major reasons for less effectiveness is the lack of proper implementation and right targeting. Moreover, there has been a lot of overlapping of schemes. Despite good intentions, the benefits of these schemes are not fully reached to the deserving poor. Therefore, the major emphasis in recent years is on proper monitoring of all the poverty alleviation programmes.
    1. Explain any one cause for the less effectiveness of poverty alleviation programmes? (1)
    2. Explain any two features of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act 2005? (1)
    3. What objectives did SGSY have? (2)
42. Section F

    Thus, it can be concluded that both the political parties and candidates have to strictly follow the rules and the model code of conduct for the election campaign.

32. A. Legislature: The prime minister and the cabinet are the institutions that take all important policy decisions. The law making body of the government is Legislature.
    B. Executive: The political executives and the Civil servants, working together are responsible for taking steps to implement the ministers’ decisions. Law implementing body is Executive.
    C. Judiciary: Supreme Court is an institution where disputes between citizens and the government are finally settled. All the courts of India together known as Judiciary of India.
33. Section D
34. We can trace the origin of the following democratic rights we enjoy today to the French revolution:
    • Right to Equality
    • Right to Freedom
    • Freedom of Speech and expression
    • Right to form associations
    • Right to justice and security

    OR

    1. On the morning of 14th July 1789, the city of Paris was in a state of alarm. The king ordered his troops to move into the city. Rumours spread that he would soon order the army to open fire upon the citizens.
    2. Some 7,000 men and women gathered in front of the town hall and decided to form a people’s militia.
    3. A group of several hundred people marched towards the eastern part of the city and stormed the fortress-prison, the Bastille.
    4. In the armed fight, the commander of Bastille was killed and prisoners released. Since the Bastille stood for the despotic power of the king, it led people towards the success of French Revolution.
35. The atmospheric condition plays a vital role in determining the climate of any region.
    The climate of India is governed by the following atmospheric conditions:
    1. Pressure and Surface Winds: The surface winds blow from the region of high pressure to the region of low pressure.
       During winter, the high-pressure area lies North reverse Air Circulation.
    2. Upper-Air Circulation: The North-Easterly wind originates in the sub-tropical high-pressure belt of Northern hemisphere. They blow South and get deflected towards the right (due to Coriolis force) over the low-pressure area of Indian.
       Sub-continent: They are dry and cold and cause no rainfall. Sub-tropical westerly jet stream brings Western cyclonic disturbances in North and North-Western India during winter.
    3. Tropical Cyclone: They are part of the easterly flow. They cause heavy to very happy rainfall in the Eastern coast of India during monsoon as well as in October-November.

    OR

    There are six major controls of the climate of any place. They are:

    1. Latitude: As the earth is round, sunlight does not reach everywhere equally. The temperature decreases as we move from the equator to the poles.
    2. Altitude: As we move from the surface of the earth to the higher altitudes, the temperature decreases.
    3. Pressure and wind system: The pressure and wind system of any area depend on the latitude and altitude of that place. Thus, it influences the temperature accordingly.
    4. Distance from the sea: Coastal regions are cooler as compared to interior regions. As the distance from the sea increases, its influence decreases and the people experience extreme weather conditions.
    5. Ocean currents: Cold ocean currents flowing over a region will decrease the temperature of that area whereas warm currents will increase the temperature.
    6. Relief features: Relief features are the barriers that block currents from entering the country. High mountains act as barriers for cold or hot winds.

    Rainfall distribution is also attributed to relief. Windward sides of the mountains receive heavy rainfall while the leeward side remains dry or receives very scanty rainfall. It is because of this reason that Mahabaleshwar receives 625 cm of rainfall while Pune only 63 cm of rainfall.

36.  Increased unemployment is an indicator of a depressed economy because:
    1. Unemployment leads to wastage of manpower resources.
    2. People who are an asset for the economy turn into a liability.
    3. There is a feeling of hopelessness and despair among youth.
    4. Unemployment tends to increase in economic overload. The dependence of the unemployed on the working population increases.
    5. The quality of life of an individual as well as of society is adversely affected due to unemployment.
    6. When a family has to live on a bare subsistence level, there is a general decline in its health status and rising withdrawal from the school system.

    Hence, unemployment has a detrimental impact on the overall growth of an economy.

    OR

    Unemployment is a situation when people willing to work at going to wages cannot find jobs.
    Unemployment in Rural India:

    1. The most dangerous unemployment in the rural area is seasonal unemployment. t exists when a person willing to work does not get work making their living conditions poor with no job and money. It is more common among people who are dependent on farming.

    Unemployment in Urban India:

    1. Educated employment is the most common unemployment in urban areas. It usually occurs in cities where there are educated or skilled people but no job opportunities. Hence, the people who should have been regarded as an asset becomes a liability. This increases the burden of production specially on employed people.

    Ways to Minimise unemployment in rural areas:

    1. The government should provide adequate skills and training to landless labourers and small farmers.
    2.  Navodaya Vidyalayas should be opened to impart training and minimise future unemployment.
    3. Encouragement for plantation, horticulture, dairy farming, and animal husbandry should be given to villagers by providing them training and financial help.
37. A. The Indian constitution begins with a short statement of its basic values. This is called Preamble.B. A constitution is not merely a statement of values and philosophy. A constitution is mainly about embodying the values into institutional arrangements. Much of the document called Constitution of India is about these arrangements.
    C. It is a very long and detailed document. Therefore it needs to be amended quite regularly to keep it updated. There are provisions to incorporate changes from time to time. These changes are called constitutional amendments.
    D. It has to be in accordance with people’s aspirations and changes in society.
    E. Indian constitution lays down a procedure for choosing persons to govern the country. It puts limits to what the government can do by providing some rights to the citizens that cannot be violated.

    OR

    This statement is true because:

    1. Partition of the country was a traumatic experience for both the people of India and Pakistan. More than a million were killed both sides in violent clashes among people.
    2. Before partition, the citizens of India were the subjects of the British empire, but now we are a free country with rules and regulations of our own.
    3. The British had left it to the princely states to decide whether they wanted to merge with India or Pakistan or would remain independent. The merger of these states with India was a difficult and uncertain task.
    4. The future of the country did not look secure unless we had our own rules and regulations. When the framers of the Constitution started working, they realised how difficult and time consuming was it to draft a Constitution for such a multi-cultural country. They further realised that it was necessary to determine a healthy relationship among the citizens and between the citizens and the government.
38. Section E
    1. The abdication of the emperor gave an opportunity to parliamentary parties to recast German polity. A democratic constitution was established with a federal structure.
    2. The given passage highlights the impact of the First World War on European and German society.

       1. India is strategically located at the center of the trans-Indian Ocean routes.
       2. India could establish close contact with Southeast and East Asia from the eastern coast.
       3. India could establish close contact with West Asia, Africa, and Europe from the western coast.
    3. The Deccan Peninsula helps India to establish easy contact with West Asia, East Africa and Europe from Western coast.
    1. Any ONE point
       1. It is due to a lack of proper implementation and the right targeting.
       2. There also has been a lot of overlapping of schemes.
       3. Despite good intentions, the benefits of these schemes have not fully reached the poor.
    2. Any two points
       1. Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 aims to provide 100 days of wage employment to every household to ensure livelihood security in rural areas.
       2. It also aimed at sustainable development to address the cause of drought, deforestation, and soil erosion.
       3. One-third of the proposed jobs have been reserved for women.
    3. The Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana was launched in 1999. It aims at bringing up the assisted poor families above the poverty line by organizing them into self-help groups through a mix of bank credit and government subsidy.
