GENERAL ENGLISHDirections(Q.No.41-55) Read the following passage carefully and answer thequestions given below it. Certain words are printed in bold to help you to locatethem while answering some of the questions.

PassageSeveral suggestions have been advanced to remove obstacles in

the way of fast agricultural growth. One such suggested policy measure is toaccord industry status to agriculture on the premise that it would lead toeradication of rural poverty through fuller utilisation of the vast potential ofagriculture to generate additional production, jobs and income. To what extentwould such a step serve the desired aim and what would be its implications?

Agriculture and industry differ significantly in some very importantaspects. These references are with regard to processes and techniques ofproduction and nature, marketing pattern and pricing of products.

All farm products are good media for bacteria and are, therefore,perishable. The life of industrial products, on the other hand, is relatively muchlonger as they are less perishable.

Most farm crops come to maturity during a relatively short andspecific period and are consumed throughout the year. Industrial production, onthe contrary, takes place throughout the year and is hence less seasonal. Thisand other special features of agriculture subject it to the problems of storage andtransportation.

In agriculture, supply of commodities is less controllable than inthe industrial sector. Industry attempts to gauge demand continuously and matchthe supply accordingly. In agriculture, the position is just the reverse.

The relationship between price and output is strikingly differentin the two sectors. Industrial output is directly related to price. In agriculture,the price is inversely related to production. Also industrial prices are generallymore stable than agricultural prices.

Some apprehensions have also been expressed that agriculturehas not been treated on par with industry in terms of prices. The main objectiveof the agricultural price policy in India’s to provide an inducement to the producerfor adopting improved technology and for maximum production and income. Theminimum support/procurement prices for major agricultural commoditiesnumbering about 20 are fixed each year on the basis of recommendations of theCommission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP). They are meant to enablethe farmer to pursue his activities with the assurance that the price of his producewould not be allowed to fall below the minimum.

The aim of price policy in the industrial sector is not to support butcontrol prices. The industrial prices of certain selected products, particularlybasic consumer goods and important industrial and agricultural inputs, arecontrolled and regulated on the recommendations of an expert body like; theBureau of Industrial Costs and Prices (BICP) or inter-ministerial committees orgroups in the case of certain public enterprises. The factors taken into account inrecommending the prices include the cost of more efficient firms accounting for ahigh percentage of total output, the optimum norms of consumption of raw materialsand energy as well as capacity utilisation and a fair rate of return on net worth
