Real questions that test this

तुम्ही एका भागाची जबाबदारी असलेले वरिष्ठ नागरी अधिकारी आहात आणि तुम्हाला वृद्धांसाठी खाजगीरीत्या चालवल्या जाणाऱ्या घरांच्या वार्षिक सम्मेलनासाठी अतिथी म्हणून उपस्थित राहाण्याची विनंती करण्यात आली आहे. या जागी पोहचण्यासाठी प्रवास करताना तुम्हाला जागोगागी मोडकळी आलेल्या झोपड्यांच्या अनेक वस्त्या पाहायला मिळाल्या. जेव्हा तुम्ही चौकशी केली तेव्हा वृद्धांसाठी घरे निर्माण करणाऱ्या विकासकांनी त्यांचे सर्व स्रोत हडप केले असून त्यांना लहानशा जागेत राहण्यास भाग पाडल्याचे या लोकांनी सांगितले. वृद्धांसाठी घरांची वस्ती निर्माण करणारे व त्यात रहाणारे लोक उच्च जातीचे असल्यामुळे त्यांना नदीचे पाणी वापरण्यास, नदीत आंघोळ करण्यास वा मासेमारी करण्यास, वनोपज वापरण्यास मज्जाव करत असल्याचेही त्यांनी तुम्हाला सांगितले. तुम्ही पुढील पैकी _________________

1)make and execute a plan for empowering people in the area with the help of teachers of the colleges from the urban part of the area who are interested in giving their students practical experience related to the theories of humanities and sociology, by procuring funds from corporates.✓ Correct

2)cancel your visit to the gathering, expressing your distress about the situation, and order the authorities of the old age home to give these people their dues and allow them to enjoy the resources in the area.

3)attend the gathering, get correct information about the situation, and convince the organizers and inmates to have some sympathy towards the real owners of the resources during your speech in a friendly manner.

4)don't take any action as you believe that everyone has to live with one's fate.

The displaced tribal families need lasting empowerment, not a gesture. A funded plan with local college teachers and their students works with the people themselves to build their capacity and claim their rights, which is why MPSC gives it full marks. Cancelling the visit and issuing orders (2) or appealing for sympathy in a speech (3) changes little, and doing nothing (4) earns zero.

तुम्ही जिल्हा पोलीस विभागाच्या सामाजिक कक्षाच्या प्रमुख आहात. स्त्रियांचा एक गट तुम्हाला भेटायला आला आहे आणि यातील काहीजणी विवाहित तर काहीजणी अविवाहित आहेत. कुटुंबाच्या भरभराटीसाठी आशीर्वाद मिळवण्यासाठी, पुढील महिन्याच्या शेवटच्या आठवड्यात होणाऱ्या एका पवित्र साधूच्या 'गुरू-सेवा' कार्यक्रमात सहभागी होण्यासाठी त्यांच्यावर त्यांच्या कुटुंबाकडून दबाव आणला जात आहे आणि काहीना धमकी दिली जात आहे असा त्यांचा दावा आहे. या गटाच्या सदस्यांचा अशा प्रकारच्या भक्तीवर विश्वास नाही. तुम्ही अनेक वेळं या पवित्र व्यक्तीला भेटला आहात परंतु त्यांच्यासंबंधी कोणताही प्रवाद तुमच्या ऐकण्यात नाही. तुम्ही....

1)convince the women that it is their duty to participate in Guru-Seva for earning blessings for the prosperity of their families.

2)seek a written complaint from each woman and send appropriately worded notices to the concerned families that forcing any member of the family to participate in such a programme against his or her will is illegal.

3)convince the women that it would be better to tackle their own family problem with the help of an NGO working towards eradication of superstitions.

4)take the help of NGOs, schools and colleges to organise a campaign in the district to make people aware of the fact that it is illegal to force persons to participate in such a programme against their will.✓ Correct

Forcing anyone into a religious programme against their will is illegal, and these women are unlikely to be the only ones facing it. A district-wide awareness campaign with NGOs, schools and colleges protects them and everyone in the same position, which is why it earns full marks. Notices to individual families (2) help only this group, sending them to an NGO alone (3) shifts the police's job, and urging them to comply (1) earns zero.
