Re: Union Bank Clerk Exam Solved Paper

You are looking for Union Bank of India Clerk Exam question paper, i am giving here:

TEST IV
ENGLISH LANGUAGE
176-188. Read the following interview and
answer the given questions based on that. Some
words have been printed in bold to help you locate
them white answering some of the questions.
A pioneering new book, Gender and Green
Governance, explores a central question: If women
adequate representation of forestry institution,
would make a difference to them the communities
and forests as a national resource? Interview with
the author.

Why has access to forests been such a conflictridden
issue?
This is not surprising. Forests constitute not just
community and national wealth, but global
wealth. But for millions, forests are also critical
for livelihoods and their daily lives.

Your first book, Cold Hearths and Barren Slopes
(1986), was about forest. Is there an evolution of
argument here?
Yes indeed. In Cold Hearths and Barren Slopes, I
had argued that social forestry, with its-down
implementation and focus on commercial species,
was neither ‘social’ nor ‘forestry’, and would
protect neither forests nor village livelihoods. The
answer, I argues, lay in allowing forest
communities to mange local forests. Finally, in
1990, India launched the joint forest management
programme and Nepal also started community
forestry. So I decided to see for myself how
community forestry was actually doing.
Between 1995 and 1999, I travelled extensively
across India and Nepal and found a paradox.
Forests were indeed becoming greener but
women’s problem of firewood shortages persisted
and in many cases had become more acute. Also,
despite their high stakes in forest, women
continued to be largely excluded from forest
management. I coined the term “participatory
exclusions” to describe this. However, the current
book is less about women’s exclusion. I ask: What
if women were present in forest governance? What
difference would that make?

But has this question not been raised before?
Economists researching environment collective
action have paid little attention to gender.
Scholars from other disciplines focusing on
gender and governance have been concerned

mainly with women’s near absence from
governance institutions. The presumption is that
once women are present all good things will
follow. But can we assume this? No. Rural women
relationship with forest is complex.
On the one hand, their everyday dependence on
forests for firewood, fodder, etc, creates a strong
stake in conversation. On the other, the same
dependence can compel them to extract heavily
from forest. As one landless women told me: “Of
course, it hurts me to cut a green branch but what
do I do if my children are hungry?” Taking an
agnostic position, I decide to test varied
propositions, controlling for other factors.

What did you find?
First, women’s greater presence enhance enhances
their effective voice in decision-making. And there
is a critical mass effect: If forest management
groups have 25-33 per cent female members in
their executive committees it significantly
increases the likelihood of women makes a
particular difference. When present in sufficient
number they are more likely to attend meetings
and voice their concerns than landed women. So
what matters is not just including more women,
but more poor women.
Second, and unexpectedly, groups with more
women typically made stricter forest use rules.
Why is this the case? Mainly because they receive
poorer forest from the forest department. To
regenerate these they have to sacrifice their
immediate needs. Women from household with
some land have some fallback. But remarkably
even in groups with more landless women,
although extraction is higher, they still balance
self-interest with conservation goals, when placed
in decision-making positions.
Third, groups with more women outperform other
groups in improving forest conditions, despite
getting poorer forest. Involving women
substantially improves protection and conflict
resolution, helps the use of their knowledge of
local biodiversity, and raises children’s awareness
about conservation.

businessmen of the country. The 28th richest man
in the world, and not have made a better and more
sound (195) choice than this. His Azim Premji
Foundation is already working in the rural aeas
of the country to improve the quality of education
and is now in the process of setting up a university
for the poor. This (196) will be a welcome addition
to the kitty of a sector that has the capability to

This is not a positive development and the
underprivileged sections need to be equipped with
life skills so that they too can be a part of the growth

reports indicate that Indians spend about Rs.
30,000 crore a year on charitable (202) and this
includes the money spent by companies on their
corporate social responsibility programmes. This
is not (203) and Indians, especially the corporate
czars, have much more ability to give. In a
foreword to Corporate Social responsibility in
India, MS Swaminathan correctly says: “Just as
good ecology is good business, good philanthropy
will also be good business in the (204) term.”
