Solution : The national food for work initiative tries to combine food security with additional supplemental pay jobs. The ministry for rural development introduced this program in 2004. This program's goal is to provide low-skilled jobs to underprivileged Indians in order to ensure food security. A rural household whose adult members volunteer to perform unskilled manual labor is entitled to 100 days of paid employment per fiscal year under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act of 2005 (NREGA). The projected job will reserve one-third of its positions for women under this plan. Hence d is the correct answer.
Question : No matter how competent he is, a manager cannot do every duty by himself. It would be impractical for him to handle everything by himself due to the volume of work. As a result, he must give subordinates the authority to act within set parameters if he wants to reach the organization's goals, concentrate on objectives, and guarantee that all work is completed. Name the managerial idea that was highlighted above.
Option 1: Organisation structure
Option 2: Delegation
Option 3: Organising
Option 4: Decentralisation
Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. Plato is the earliest important educational thinker, and education is an essential element in 'The Republic' (his most important work on philosophy and political theory, written around 360 B.C.). In it, he advocates some rather extreme methods: removing children from their mothers' care and raising them as wards of the state, and differentiating children suitable to the various castes, the highest receiving the most education, so that they could act as guardians of the city and care for the less able. He believed that education should be holistic, including facts, skills, physical discipline, music, and art. Plato believed that talent and intelligence are not distributed genetically and thus can be found in children born to all classes, although his proposed system of selective public education for an educated minority of the population does not really follow a democratic model.
Aristotle considered human nature, habit, and reason to be equally important forces to be cultivated in education, the ultimate aim of which should be to produce good and virtuous citizens. He proposed that teachers lead their students systematically, and that repetition be used as a key tool to develop good habits, unlike Socrates' emphasis on questioning his listeners to bring out their own ideas. He emphasized the balancing of the theoretical and practical aspects of subjects taught, among which he explicitly mentions reading, writing, mathematics, music, physical education, literature, history, and a wide range of sciences, as well as play, which he also considered important.
