Directions (Q. 1-15): Read thefollowing passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Talent is worshipped everywhere, which is motivated through awards system. Because awards are a
signof pride andglory in everybody's life. Presenting an award is the means to honor the talents,
achievements, performance and work for a lifetime of a person. Different awards have their own
specific fields of existence and each one of them adds there are numerous award ceremonies that
occur in India. The Indian celebrities like the sportsmen, artists, actors andtechnicians are awarded
in the different fields on the basis of their abilities and passion.
Until 2011, the official criteria for awarding the Bharat Ratna stipulatedit was to be conferred for the
highest degrees of national service. This service includes artistic, literary, and scientific
achievements, as well as recognition of public service of the highest order. In December 2011, the
Government of India modified the criteria to allow sportspe rsons to receive the award; since then,
the award may be conferred for performance of highest order in any field of human endeavour. Any
person without distinction of race, occupation, position or sex is eligible for the award. The
recommendations for an award of the "Bharat Ratna" are made by the Prime Minister of India to the
President of India; a maximum of three awards may be made in a given year. The holders of the
Bharat Ratna rank 7th in the Indian order of precedence; however, the honour does not carry a
monetary grant. The honour does not conferany pre- or post-nominal titles or letters; recipients are
constitutionally prohibited from using the award name as a title or post-nominal. However, if they
desire, recipients may state they are Bharat Ratna awardees in their curriculum vitae, on letterheads
or on business cards. When we discuss about sports , especially cricket then name of Sachin Ramesh
Tendulkar comes on the top, their fans also call him "God of Cricket", who is now a former Indian
cricketer widely acknowledgedas the greatest batsman of the modern generation and by many as
the greatest cricketer of all time. He is not the first of India's sporting heroes: there were several
before him, and even some after 1989, the year he made his international debut and received
awards .
But unfortunately some Indian cricketers were found guilty in the charges of fixing and bribery i.e.
Mohammad ajharuddin, Ajay Sharma, Manoj prabhakar and many more. But when Tendulkar
announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on 16November 2013 after playing his 200th and
final Test match, against the West Indies in Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. Then within a few hours
of ending of his final match on 16 November 2013, the Prime Minister's Office announced the
decision to award Tendulkar with the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilianaward, making him the
youngest recipient to date and the first ever sportsperson to receive the award.
At 40, the cricket icon is the youngest ever to receive the award. Unlike many others who have
received the honour in the last six decades, he did not have to wait for the award; the award waited
for him. Thus the honour was India's, as much as Tendulkar's.

Directions (Q. 11-15): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Water touches every aspect of life, and in India uncertainty over access to and the availability of this
basic resource may be reaching crisis levels. As India continues to undergodramatic shifts caused by
a growing economy and population, competing demands for this limited resource coming from
households, industry, and agriculture have wide-ranging implications for the country's future. India's
water crisis is rooted in three causes. The first is insufficient water per person as a result of
population growth. The second cause is poor water quality resulting from insufficient and
delayedinvestment in urban water-treatment facilities. The third problem is dwindlinggroundwater
supplies due to over-extraction by farmers.Water scarcity is fast becoming urban India's number one
woe, with government's own data revealing that residents in 22 out of 32 major cities have to deal

with daily shortages. For example, in Delhi approx 3,156 millionlitres of water (MLD) is supplied
against the requirement of 4,158. But around 40% of the supply is lost in distribution resulting in a
much wider gap between demand and supply than what's recorded. The worst-hit city is
Jamshedpur, where the gap between demand and supply is a yawning70%. The crisis is acute in
Kanpur, Asansol, Dhanbad, Meerut, Faridabad, Visakhapatnam, Madurai and Hyderabad - where
supply fails to meet almost 30% of the demand - according to data provided by states which was
placed in the Lok Sabha during the recently-concluded Parliament session by the urban development
ministry. Th e figures also reveal that in Greater Mumbai and Delhi - which have the highest water
demand among all cities - the gap between demand and supply is comparatively less. The shortfall is
24% for Delhi and 17% for Mumbai. However, the situation is worse than that. India's future
economic growth is also a concern. If the country cannot expand irrigation or increase agricultural
productivity by other means, economic growth will be restricted. Government of India have made a
comprehensiveplan for creating a unique platform for deliberating the issues involving all
stakeholders including decision makers, politicians, researchers and entrepreneurs of water
resources not only from Indian arena but also from International avenues for getting benefited
mutually. There is emphasis throughout the country on watershed development. This involves
leveling landand tapping rainwater in small ponds created by building small dams in the streams
(called check dams).
Since Water is the most precious gift of nature can be made to beneficial use to the mankind only if;
all the stakeholders are fully involved in its development and management. By understanding the
importance of building public awareness, as it is vital in getting support in implementation of the
objectives, efforts will be put in through national portals and media engagement for effective civil
society involvement too in the consultative processes of India Water Week 2013 (IWW-2013) . As a
part of this endeavour, the Ministry of Water Resources has decided to host an International event
"India Water Week" on an annual basis. The first event of this kind India Water Week- 2012 (IWW2012) has recently been organized during the period from 10 to 14 April, 2012 with the theme
