MPSC Rajyaseva 2013 CSAT — Question 75
The correct answer with a full explanation. Practice Decision Making questions as a quiz →
Situation : Government has formulated a policy to ensure that each family in rural area of the State should have a toilet, as most diseases are caused by e-coli from human excreta carried through contaminated water. In spite of this, only 60% of rural families have toilets and only 50% of those use them, because the policy is 'construction oriented' and the element of educating and sensitizing people is missing. Question : If you are assigned a role of preparing a public awareness campaign, which of the following elements would you incorporate in order of priority in the design of the campaign : (a) Regular use of toilet reduces health hazards of open defecation. (b) Maintaining the ambience of the village. (c) Maintaining the dignity of the human being, particularly women folk. (d) Boost to farm productivity and economy
Decision Making: MPSC gives marks for every option, with no negative marking.
The policy exists because diseases spread through human excreta, so health (a) leads the campaign; the village environment (b) and the dignity of women (c) follow, and the farm-economy benefit (d) is the weakest motivator. MPSC gives full marks to the order a, b, c, d and 2 marks to a, c, b, d; leading with farm productivity (d first) gets zero.
