    Case B: Read the source given below. Attempt any 5 questions out of 6 (Q. No. 53-58) questions.
    Take the case of Laxmi with her two-hectare plot of unirrigated land. The government can spend some money or banks can provide a loan, to construct a well for her family to  irrigate the land. Laxmi will then be able to irrigate her land and take a second crop,  wheat, during the rabi season. Let us suppose that one hectare of wheat can provide  employment to two people for 50 days (including sowing, watering, fertiliser application  and harvesting). So two more members of the family can be employed in her own field.  Now suppose a new dam is constructed and canals are dug to irrigate many such farms.  This could lead to a lot employment generation within the agriculture sector itself  reducing the problem of underemployment.

    How does construction of dams and canals create employment in large numbers in rural areas?
    (a) Large number of engineers are needed
    (b) ​Large number of technicians are also required
    (c) ​Adjustment of large number of unskilled labourers
    (d) ​Executives and administrators can easily be adjusted VIEW SOLUTION
