 Measurement of Actual Performance
Once performance standards are set, the next step is measurement of actual performance. Performance should be measured in an objective and reliable manner. Some of the techniques used for measuring the performance are personal observation, sample checking performance reports etc.

In math, composite numbers can be defined as the whole numbers that have more than two factors. 

Whole numbers that are not prime are composite numbers, because they are divisible by more than two numbers. 

The position of d-block elements is in between the s-block  and p-block elements in the periodic table. These d-block elements are called transition elements because they exhibit transitional behaviour between s-block and p-block elements. Their properties are transitional between highly reactive metallic elements of s-block which are typically ionic compounds and the elements of p-block which are largely covalent.

The Electronic configuration of Cr and Cu are given below ⇒

1. Cr = 24 = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 4p⁶ 4s¹ 3d⁵

2. Cu = 29 = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 4p⁶ 4s¹ 3d¹⁰

These electronic configuration are exceptional because electrons entered in 3-d orbitals without filling the 4s orbitals complete.

Reason for the Exceptions ⇒ It is said that d orbitals can be stable if it is half filled or full filled.

Thus, In the given case, electrons reaches near the half filled and full filled thus due to the attraction one electrons from the s orbitals came in d orbitals.

Indira Gandhi government devalued Indian rupee to check economic crisis of 1967. Consequently, one US dollar could be purchased for less than  5 after the devaluation, it cost more than  7. 

1. The economic situation triggered a price rise. 

2. People started a protest against the increase in prices of essential commodities and unemployment etc. 

3. The Communist and Socialist parties launched struggle to avail greater equality. 

The fourth general election was held in 1967 for the first time without Nehru: 

1. The election verdict was not in favor of Congress and results jolted the Congress both at the national and state levels. 

2. Half the ministers in Indira Gandhi’s cabinet were defeated including K. Kamaraj in Tamilnadu, S.K. Patil in Maharashtra, Atulya Ghosh in West Bengal, K.B. Sahay in Bihar. 

3. Congress did not lose the only majority in seven states but two other states also prevented it to form the government due to defections. 

4. For the first time, any non-Congress party secured a majority in any state and in other eight states, different non-Congress parties formed the coalitions. 

5. These election results were called as a ‘Political Earthquake’.

The socio economic context of 1967 elections:

• This period was fraught with grave economic crisis resulting from successive failure of monsoons, widespread droughts, decline in agricultural production, serious food shortage, depletion of foreign exchange reserve, and drop in industrial production combined with sharp rise in military expenditure and diversion of resources from planning and economic development. 
• The economic situation triggered off price rise. People started protesting against increase in prices of essential commodities, food scarcity and growing unemployment and overall economic condition of the country. Moreover the communist and the socialist launched struggles for greater equality. 
• Politically a wave of ‘non congressism” swept all across the country. Parties opposed to congress realized that the division of their votes kept Congress in power. Thus parties that were entirely different and disparate in their programmers’ and ideology got together to form anti Congress fronts in different states.

She established her worth and emerged as the strongest Prime Minster and the President of the Congress Party. The congress Party was divided as soon ashen took reigns of the country but she overcame all hurdles and proved that the congress was the real congress party.

            She was born on Nov. 19, 1917 at Anand Bhawan at Allahabad in U.P. Her grandparents fondly called her ‘Indu whaler her parents named her ‘Priyadarshni’. She received her education at several placed because her father Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru was mostly in prison. Her Primary education was completed at Allahabad. Then she was sent to A Poona.

Formerly the Minister of External Affairs, Shastri became the Indian Prime Minister after the death of Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister, on 27 May 1964. Shastri's tenure as Prime Minister lasted only nineteen months due to his sudden death in Tashkent.

With the backing of Congress President Kumaraswami Kamaraj, Shastri became the party's choice for Prime Minister.

a. 

Bihar is the poorest State with 43% incidence of poverty. Jharkhand (36%), Uttar Pradesh (31%), Rajasthan (31%) and Odisha (29%) are also above the national average (21%), as are the other big States — Madhya Pradesh (28%) and Assam (25%).

b. Sikkim is the least populated state in India. The population of this state is 6,07,688. Sikkim is the least populated and second smallest state in our country. The largest city in Sikkim is Gangtok and is the capital city of the state.

Global warming is the cumulative rise in average global temperatures on earth measured over a long period. It has been attributed to the large scale deforestation by man for different purposes. We consume a lot of fuel annually. With an increase in the human population, it has become impossible to meet people’s fuel requirements. Natural resources are limited, and we must use them judiciously. If we exploit natural resources like forests and water bodies, it will create an imbalance in the ecosystem. Global warming is not limited to the rise in temperature. It has other effects too.

Many parts of the world are witnessing natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and avalanches. All these phenomena are a direct result of global warming. To prevent our environment from the harmful effects of global warming, we must restoring our ecosystem. Man has been exploiting natural resources without giving the environment anything in return. This needs to be stopped. We must all join forces to make this world a better place for our future generations who deserve this planet as much as we do. The basic step that we can follow to increase the overall health of our planet is planting trees. Afforestation should be our primary goal. The earth can become a better place if we pledge to plant as many trees as we can in our lifetime.
