Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
(A) Self-employment — this matches (IV) Aatmanirbhar Bharat. The Government of India floated schemes such as MUDRA, Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India to generate employment and self-employment for all sections, including SC, ST and other backward classes.
(B) Informal Sector — this matches (III) Reliance on personal relationships. Most work in India is in small-scale workplaces of the unorganised sector, where personal relationships determine many aspects of work: if the employer likes you, you may get a raise; a quarrel may cost you the job.
(C) Liberalisation — this matches (II) Reduction in Government employment. Employment by the government was a major avenue for well-being, but now even that is coming down; liberalisation and privatisation, including disinvestment of public sector companies, go with it.
(D) Organised Sector — this matches (I) Secure job with benefits. Units of the organised sector are registered with the government so that their employees get proper salaries or wages, pension and other benefits.
NCERT (2025-26): “5.3 How People Find Jobs … Recently the Government of India floated many schemes, such as ‘MUDRA’, ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ in order to generate employment and self-employment to support all sections including the marginalised section of the society, like SC, ST and other backward classes.…” “The Specificity of Indian Industrialisation … First, it means that very few people have the experience of employment in large firms where they get to meet people from other regions and backgrounds. Urban settings do provide some corrective to this – your neighbours in a city may be from a different place – but by and large, work for most Indians is still in smallscale workplaces. Here personal relationships determine many aspects of work. If the employer likes you, you may get a salary raise, and if you have a fight with him or her, you may lose your job. This is different from a large organisation with well-defined rules, where recruitment is more transparent and there are mechanisms for complaints and redressal if you disagree with your immediate superior.…” “Globalisation, Liberalisation and Changes in Indian Industry … So far, employment by the government was a major avenue for increasing the well-being of the population, but now even that is coming down. Some economists debate this, but liberalisation and privatisation worldwide appear to be associated with rising income inequality.…” “The Specificity of Indian Industrialisation … According to one definition, the organised sector consists of all units employing ten or more people throughout the year. These have to be registered with the government to ensure that their employees get proper salaries or wages, pension and other benefits.…” |
