Passage-I
In recent times, India has grown fast
not only compared to its own past but also
in comparison with other nations. But there
cannot be any room for complacency because
it is possible for the Indian economy to
develop even faster and also to spread the
benefits of this growth more widely than
has been done thus far. Before going into
details of the kinds of micro-structural
changes that we need to conceptualize and
then proceed to implement, it is worthwhile
elaborating on the. idea of inclusive growth
that constitutes the defining concept behind
this Government's various economic policies
and decisions. A nation interested in
inclusive growth views the same growth.
differently depending on whether the gains
of the growth are heaped primarily on a
small segment or shared widely by the
population. The latter is cause for
celebration but not the former. In other
words, growth must ·not be treated as an
end in itself but as an instrument for
spreading prosperity to all. India's own past
experience and the experience of other
nations suggests that growth is necessary
for eradicating poverty but it is not a
sufficient condition. In other words, policies
for promoting ·growth need to be
8-FVS-N-OCUB
complemented with policies to ensure that
more and more people join in the growth
and, further, that there are
mechanisms in place to redistribute some of
the gains to those who are unable to partake
in the market process and, hence, get left
behind.
A simple way of giving this idea of
inclusive growth a sharper form is to
measure a nation's progress in terms of the
progress of its poorest segment, for instance
the bottom 20 per cent of the popul~tion.
One could measure the per capita income of
the bottom quintile of the population and
also calculate the growth rate of income;
and evaluate our economic. success in terms
of these measures that pertain to the
poorest segment. This approach is attra~tive
because it does not ignore growth like some
of the ol!ier heterodox criteria did. It simply
looks at the growth of income of the poorest
sections of the population. It also ensures
that those who are outside of the bottom
quintile do not get ignored. If that were
done, then those people would in all
likelihood ·drop down into the bottom
quintile and so would automatically become
a direct target of our policies. Hence the
criterion being suggested here is a
statistical summing up of the idea of
inclusive growth, which, in turn, leads to
two corollaries : to wish that India must
strive to achieve high growth and that we
must work to ensure that the weakest
segments benefit from the growth.

 Passage-2
It is essential that we mitigate the
emissions of greenhouse gases and thus avoid
some of the worst impacts of climate change
that would take place in coming years and
, decades. Mitigation would require a major
shift in the way we produce and consume
energy. A shift away from overwhelming
dependence on fossil fuels is now long
overdue, but unfortunately, technological
development has been slow and inadequate
· largely because government policies have not
promoted investments in research
development, myopically as a result of
relatively low prices of oil. It is now,
therefore, imperative for a country like India
treating the opportunity of harnessing
renewable energy on a large scale as a
national imperative. This country
extremely well endowed with solar, wind and
biomass sources of energy. Where we have
lagged, unfortunately, is in our ability to
develop and to create technological solutions
for harnessing these resources.
One particular trajectory for carrying out
stringent mitigation of greerihouse
emissions assessed by the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) clearly
shows the need for ensuring that global
emissions of greenhouse gases peak no later
than 2015 and reduce rapidly thereafter. The
B-FVS-N-OCUB
cost associated with such a trajectory is truly
modest and would amount, in the estimation
of IPCC, to not more Utan 3 percent of the
global GDP in 2030. In other words, the level
of prosperity that the · world would have
reached without mitigation would at worst be
postponed by a few months or a year at .the
most. This is clearly not a very·high price to
pay for protecting hundreds of millions of
people from the worst risks associated with
climate. change. Any such effort, however,
would require lifestyles to change
appropriately also. Mitigation of greenhouse
and
gas emissions is not a mere technological fix,
and clearly requires changes in lifestyles and
transformation of a country's economic
structure, whereby effective reduction in
emissions is brought about, such as through
the eonsumption of much lower quantities of
is
animal protein. The Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) has determined that the
emissions from the livestock sector amount to
18 percent of the total. The reduction of
emissions from this source is entirely in the
hands of human beings, who have never
questioned the impacts that their dietary
gas habits of consuming more and more animal
protein are bringing about. Mitigation overall
has huge co-benefits, such as lower air
pollution and health benefits,- higher energy
security and greater employment.

 Passage-2
Net profits are only 2·2% of their total
assets for central .public sector undertakings,
·lower than for the private corporate sector.
While the public sector or the State-led
entrepreneurship played an important role in
triggering India's industrialization,
evolving development needs, comparatively
less-than-satisfactory performance of the
public sector enterprises,. the maturing of our
private sector, a much larger social base now
available for expanding entrepreneurship and
the growing institutional capabilities to
enforce competition policies would suggest
that the time has come to revi.ew the role of
public sector.
What should the portfolio composition of
the government be ? It should not remain
static all times. The airline industry works
well as a purely private affair. At the opposite
end, rural roads, whose sparse traffic makes
tolling unviable, have to be on
)Jalance-sheet of the State. If the government
did not own rural roads, they would not exist.·
Similarly, public health capital in our towns
and cities will need to come from the public
sector. Equally,
preservation
improvement of forest cover will have to be a
new priority for the public sector assets.
B-FVS-N-OCUB
Take the example of ·steel. :With
near-zero tariffs, India is a globally
competitive market for the metal. Indian
· firms ·export steel into the global market,
which demonstrates there is no gap in
technology. Indian companies are buying up
global steel companies, which shows there is
no gap in capital availability. Under these
our
conditions, private ownership works best.
Private ownership is clearly desirable in
regulated industries, ranging from finance to
infrastructure, where a government agency
.performs the function of regulation and
multiple competing firms are located in the
private sector. Here, the simple and clean
solu.tion - government as the umpire and the
private sector as the players is what works
best. In many of these industries, we have .a
legacy of government ownership, where
.productivity tends to be lower, fear of
bankruptcy is absent, and the risk of asking
for money from the tax payer is ever present.
There is also the conflict of interest between
the ·
government as an owner and as the regulator.
The formulation and implementation of
competition policy will be more vigorous and
fa~ if government companies are out of
action.
