answering some of the questions
One of the most critical demographic events in the world today is population ageing, i.e., the
process by which the share of older individuals in the total population starts becoming larger.
The ageing phenomenon, which has been initially experienced by developed countries, is
now steadily approaching the developing world. Projections show that over the next five
decades, world median age will continue to increase, resulting in enhanced old age
dependency ratios in all parts of the world. Thus, population ageing would be a major global
public unprecedented challenges for fiscal, monetary and overall macro-economic
management.
There is a general consensus that ageing population reduces output growth, limits economic
welfare and lowers employment. One direct effect of population ageing is labour shortages
that are caused by declining birth rates and increasing life spans. This translates itself into a
higher old-age dependency ratio (i.e., proportion of population aged 15 to 64). Consequently,
with ageing, the economy's capacity to sustain the elderly population would decline. An
important consequence of this development is reflected in increasing fiscal pressures through
higher government spending on social security, health care and other welfare programmes for
the elderly accompanied by lower tax buoyancy consequent to falling proportions of the
productive labour force. Given the hard budget could mean lower government spending for
programmes that primarily benefit the young. With public pension schemes coming under
increasing pressure to raise contribution levels or cut the size of social safety benefits, the
issue of fiscal sustainability is one of the principal challenges facing policymakers world
wide, particularly in the context of intergenerational equity.
The experience of the US, Western Europe and other Organisation for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD) countries suggests that substantial demographic changes have
occured in the past few decades. Improvements in life standards, health care and nutrition
have increased life expectancy. As a result, the old-age dependency ration in OECD countries
is projected to reach nearly 50 per cent by 2050. This is going to pose a huge fiscal burden in
terms of social security, health care, pension and other related expenditures. In this regard, an
OECD exercise reveals a rise in old age pension spending, on an average, by about three to
four percentage points of GDP over the period till 2050. Expenditure relating to health and
long-term medical care is estimated to increase by more than three percentage point of GDP
over the same period. Overall, total age-related expenditures relative to GDP cold rise in
average by about seven percentage points over the period 2000-2050. In turn, this would
imply an average decline of six to seven percentage points in the primary balance to GDP
ratio

mud in wet times, deep dust in dry. Most of the houses were of logs. There were none of
bricks and none of stones. There was a Church, which was a school house on week days.
There were two stores in the village. My uncle owned one of them. It was very small with a
few rolls of cloth; a few barrels of salt fish, coffee and sugar, brooms, axes and other tools
here and there; a lot of cheap hats and in pans strung from the walls. At the other end of the
room, there were bags of shot, a cheese or two, and a barrel or so of whisky. If a boy bought
five or ten cents' worth of anything he was entitled to a handful of sugar from the barrel; if a
woman bought a few yards of cloth; she was entitled to some thread; if a man bought
something he was at liberty to swallow as big a drink of whisky as he wanted.
My uncle was also a farmer and his place was in the country for miles for Florida. I have not
come across a better man than he was. I was his guest for two or three year after we removed
to Hannibal until I was eleven or twelve years old.

goods hitting the right cord from Indian consumers. The recent changes in lifestyle goods
industry and the diamonds industry threatens to impact the family jeweller segment, which

jeweller is expected to come down. The family jeweller segment is he largest segment of the
market and hence, most likely to be impacted by these changes. Family jewellers will have to
bring in new practices and range of designs and customisation of jewellery would
differentiate the players. Currently, organised retailers are enlarging the pie but the traditional

*/2 -, : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that
follow it. Certain words/ phrases are given in ' "to help you locate them while answering
some of the questions.
The Indian pharma industry is flourishing overseas, touching almost every part of the world.
With low cost, speed and high quality advantage India is gearing up to become the hub for
contract research and manufacturing and maintaining it is another. Canada provides tax
benefits upto 46 per cent for research carried out within the country. Others like Korea and
China without a large pool of scientists make-up by facilitating foreign research in every
conceivable way. India does not any of this and faces many hurdles - diseases that it has been
inflicted with since independence like Malaria and TB. While Indian companies have only
focused on reverse engineering blockbuster drugs from MNCs, overseas scientitsts have
displayed little interest in researching, subcontinent specific diseases as there are more profits
and public interest in lifestyle drugs such as obesity which, in turn, fund their research. In the
interest of Indian research industry a decision must be taken quickly on the implementation of
data protection laws.
India is one of the few countries where data exclusivity provision are not prevalent. Data
protection is a contentious issue, wholly debated by the Government and the industry. A
pharma company wishing to market a drug controller to show that the drug is both effective
and safe. The first ( originator) company that makes the application for marketing approval
has to submit its data relating to the clinical trials to the drug is safe and effective will register
it. Another drug company wishing to market the same drug only requires to show a bio-
equivalence to the drug of the originator company. Thus, as per the prevailing laws, the
regulator in India can rely on an innovator's data to approve the competitor's product. While
the system in general is responsible for maintaining the necessary secrecy, it is not
accountable for the same - the competitor gets an unfair advantage over the innovator even
when he is intellectual property. Consequently research based pharma companies are being
forced to undertake vital clinical trials abroad. Huge expenditures are incurred overseas,
draining precious foreign exchange when this could be done at home at a fraction of the cost.
The product Patent Law protections required by the TRIPS agreement and brought about by
the 2005 amendment to the Patent Act require India to protect undisclosed test data from
disclosure and unfair commercial use by competitors. Effective 2005 Indian companies can
no longer copy patent protected foreign drugs. Some negate the necessity to make data
exclusivity a law, the MNCs want the data to be protected absolutely for a period of five
years. However, in case certain drugs are not available or unaffordable should the
government for the common good not be able to exercise powers to get another company to
make such drugs?

With the purpose of upliftment of Gonda district in Uttar Pradesh, a new formula way
evolved for practical success in several fields, such as, irrigation, animal husbandry, dairy
farming, moral uplift and creation of financial resources. Small farms were clustered for
irrigation by one diesel pump which could irrigate about 20 acres of land. Youth were
prompted to take loans from the banks for purchase of engine pumps to be supplied to the
farmers on rent. This formula worked so well that the villages in Gonda district were
saturated with irrigation facilities. Cattle rearing was linked with multiple cropping .
Most of the targets fixed for different areas were achieved, which was an unusual
phenomenon. This could be possible only because of right motivation, participation and
initiative of the people. Imagination and creativity combined together helped in finding out
workable solutions to the problems of the community.

,- -66Read the following passage to answer the given questions. Some words
have been printed in ' " to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.
we tend to be harsh on our bureaucracy, but nowhere do citizens enjoy dealing with their
government. They do it because they have to. But that doesn't mean that the experience has
to be "&. Now there is a new wind blowing through government departments around the
world, which could take some of this pain away. In the next five years it may well transform
not only the way public services are delivered but also the fundamental relationship between
government and citizens. Not surprisingly, it is the Internet that is behind it. After e-
commerce and e-business, the next revolution may be e-governance.
Exam ples' %"/ The municipality of phoenix, Arizona, allows its citizens to renew
their car registrations, pay traffic fines, replace lost identity cards etc. Online without having
to stand in endless queues in a grubby municipal office. The municipality is happy because it
saves $5 a transaction-it costs only $1.60 to process an online transaction versus $6.60 to do
it across the counter. In chile, people routinely submit their income tax returns over the
Internet, which has increased transparency, drastically reduced the time taken and the number
of errors and litigation with the tax department. Both tax payers and the revenue department
are happier.
The furthest ahead, not surprisingly, is the small, rich and entrepreneurial civil service of
Singapore, which allows citizens to do more functions online than any other. As in many
private companies, the purchasing and buying of Singapore's government departments is now
on the web, and cost benefits come through more competitive bidding, easy access to global
suppliers and time saved by online processing of orders. They can 8 their catalogues on
their site, bid or contracts submit in voices and check their payment status over the Net.
The most useful idea for Indian municipalities is Gov works a private sector-run site that
collects local taxes, fines, and utility bills for 3,600 municipalities across the United States. It
is a citizen's site, which also provides information on Government jobs, tenders, etc. The
most ambitious is the British Government, which has targeted to convert 100 percent of its
transactions with its citizens to the internet by 2005.
Cynics in India will say, 'Oh, e-government will never work in India. We are so poor
and we don't have computers.' But they are wrong! There are many experiments afoot in
India as well. Citizens in Andhra Pradesh can download government forms and submit
applications on the Net without having to bribe clerks. In many districts, land records are
online and this has created transparency. Similarly, in Dhar district to Madhya Pradesh,
villagers have begun to file applications for land transferes and follow their progress on the
Net. In seventy village in the Kolhapur and Sangli district in Maharashtra, internet booths
have come up where farmers can daily check the market and rates of agricultural
commodities in Marathi, along with data on agricultural schemes, information on crop
technology, when to spray and plant their crops and bus and railway time tables. They also
find vocational guidance in jobs, application for ration cards, kerosene/ gas burners and a
land record extracts with details of land ownership.
Sam Pitroda's World Tel, Reliance Industries and the Tamil Nadu Government are
jointly laying 3000km of optic fibre cables to create a Tamil network which will offer ration
cards, school College and hospital admission forms, land records, and pension records. If
successful, World Tel will expand the network to Gujarat, Karnataka and West Bengal. In
Kerala, all the villages are getting linked online to the district headquarters, allowing citizens
to compare the development priorities of their village with other villagers in the state.
Many are still skeptical of the real impact because so few Indians have computers. The
answer lies in interactive cables. TV and in Internet kiosks. Although India has only five
million computers and thirty-eight million telephones, it has thirty-four million homes with
cable TV and these are growing eight percent a year. By 2005 most cable homes will have
access to the interenel from many of the 700000 local STD/PCO Booths. Internet usage may
be low today, but it is bound to grow rapidly in the future, and e-governance in India may not
be a dream.

In an upper class drawing room in Murrrbai, a dozen or so (-.-) the city's intelligentsia is
(-.0) on the dregs of what was a live-wire party an hour ago. Poets, editors, writers,
filmmakers, all card-carrying members of the rich and powerful, not at this late hour, on their
ninth drink, are (-..) in what Indians are best known to do: Media-bashing, armchair
criticism and name-calling.
Inevitably the talk turns to Tehelka, and its managing director and editor-in-chief, Tarun
Tejpal, and the party quickly degenerates into an orgy of guilt and shame and that peculiar
habit of the Indian intelligentsia : passing the buck, with every one present attacking his
neighbour for not supporting Tejpal more. It is a trait Tejpal is (-.1) with and has been telling
me about in the weeks preceding this interview.
"Often at parties when someone (-.2) me 'great job, carry on what you are doing', and
showers with me staggering praise, staggering love, staggering (-.3) just smile and let it pass
as i don't want to score a brownie point and say, 'and what about your boss, what will you
do?"
This lightly-tossed sentence with the slightest hint of a dark chuckie is the only time I have
been Tejpal allow for bitterness, though I have been (-.4) him for weeks for sings of it.
Because for a man who has been the victim of the most (-.5 government witch-hunts in
recent years, Tejpal is atonishingly devoid of (-.,) . You expect him to rage, to spew fire, to
heap scorn and anger at his enemies, and instead, what you encounter, is a man in whose eyes
you see only compassion and a weary understanding of the nature of the beast.
The abiding irony in all this is that unlike his armchair supporters in the middle class, who
rave and rant on his behalf, but do nothing else, Tejpal displays forbearance. " The fact that I
am essentially a literary animal and that my entire sensibility has been shaped by literature
has helped. I'm not a black-and-white person. I'm a (-16) who understand the greys", he says
to me at a coffee shop, over tea.

ornaments, clay bowls full of sweet curd and platefuls of sweetmeats. The orders had been
placed with shops well in advance. The mother was sending out gifts to everyone.

second son had left home at an early age. As a merchant he travelled all over the world. The
other sons had split up over petty squabbles, and they now lived in homes of their own. The
relatives were spread all across the world. They rarely visited. The youngest son, left in the
company of a servant, was soon bored and stood at the door all day long, waiting and

them with colourful kerchiefs, and sent them off with maids and servants. The neighbours
looked on.

you.´ She kissed him on the forehead.

³You¶ll get it when you go far away.´

is the most precious of all.´
