COMPREHENSION

Can India make it to a leadership position in the new millennium or will it retain the fasttrain-going-slow image of the last 60-odd
years? Most people believe that the potential for our country to succeed is huge. They are also disappointed at the inability to
convert the natural advantages we possess into tangible benefits. The recent success of our InfoTech industry globally has
reinforced the belief that when we put our mind to it we can and do succeed. Now, the expectation is that this success will be
replicated in other areas.

There is no doubt that India’s future will be driven by the intellectual capital of its people. Even though many of the billion Indian
people are and will continue for the foreseeable future to live in a third-world setting, there are many Indians with the skills,
ability and aspiration to prosper and flourish in a first-world environment. It is, therefore likely that India will, at the same time,
belong to both the first and third worlds. The first-world environment will be powered increasingly by knowledge workers and
brain ware. India clearly has the numbers. It needs to invest in training and skill building and also encourage entrepreneurship
and risk-taking. I have no magic recipe to convert India’s people power into a competitive advantage on a global basis. Also, I am
nowhere near qualified to address macro issues like universal education and school curricula. Therefore, I have to shrink the issue
into a familiar framework of “growing our people”.

It is imperative that Indian businesses pay more than lip service to the empowerment of their employees. We have to break the
“do-as-you-are-told” mentality, which inhibits creativity and promotes the culture of servitude long after our “foreign masters”
are gone. Together with empowerment, there has to be a culture of personal accountability so that everyone realizes the

MHCET 2023 MOCK 03 · ENGLISH · Questions Page 1 of 64

 necessity of valuing commitment. In all areas of activity, seniority and hierarchies (if any) must be based purely on merit.
Seniority, like respect, must be earned and no `termed’ i.e. based on the length of service. Future organizations will be based on
communities and interaction between individuals and teams both within and outside and organization. The work environment,
both with respect to physical space as well as culture, must be barrierless / boundaryless, allowing the impromptu and regular
interaction across workgroups / teams.

Organizations must accept that empowerment and personal accountability should go hand in hand with a degree of tolerance for
mistakes and failures. Mistakes and failures are good learning opportunities for our people and should be regarded as such unless
repeated. Tolerance would also provide a safety net for those prepared to take risks, a quality rarely seen among Indian
executives today but crucial to succeed in the new economy.

Organization must be as transparent as possible with their employees. Both good and bad news must be shared. Often
organizations and their leadership wrongly believe that the employees aren’t interested in certain information or, more
arrogantly, decide that information is best withheld as it is beyond the comprehension of their employees. Knowledge sharing
must be pushed at all levels thorough a carrot-and-stick approach. Those who continuously hoard knowledge must be weeded
out. Everyone must come to work thinking that they will learn and add to their skills. Performance management must be
institutionalized to give everyone a clear understanding of organizational goals, within a team. Rewards which follow from
meeting goals and career opportunities in the organization encourage a sense of commitment to the community among your
employees. Apart from making them feel good about themselves it also affords opportunities for them to work as teams in a
non-work environment.

Above all, make work fun. If people, however talented, show up at work because it is a job then they are unlikely to realize their
full potential. The above is not an exhaustive list for each organization to get the best out of its people. But if each organization
addresses some these issues then people will grow individually and collectively. This is bound to have a beneficial effect on
harnessing and driving their intellectual capital.

COMPREHENSION

Seed quality is an (21) aspect of crop production. For ages, farmers have traditionally been selecting and (22) good quality seed,
since it was in their interest to do so. They knew and understood the importance of quality seed in production.However, with the
advent of green revolution technology, based (23) on the high-yielding dwarf varieties of wheat and rice, mainstream thinking
changed. Agricultural scientists, for reasons that remain (24), began to doubt, the ability of farmers to maintain seed quality (25).
Aided by the World Bank, the Ministry of Agriculture launched a National Seeds Project in 1967. Under the project spread into
three phases, seed processing plants were (26) up in nine states. Six states were covered under phase three. All that the huge
processing plants were (27) to do was to provide ‘certified’ seeds of food crops, mainly self-pollinating crops, to farmers. In mid-
1980s, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in the Philippines concluded a study which (28) that there was hardly any
difference in the crop yields from transplanted rice and from the crop sown by broadcasted seeds. One would wonder why, in
the first instance, were the farmers, asked to (29) over to transplanting paddy? The answer is simple – probably to help the
mechanical industries grow. Since rice, is the staple food in Asia, tractor sales could only grow if there was a way to move the
machine in the rice fields. No wonder, the sales of tractors, puddlers, reapers and other associated (30) soared in the rice growing
areas.

education and creation of a good atmosphere will achieve what reservation has not achieved.
