✓

Answer

  1. People go through job advertisement given in different newspapers and journals. They got themselves registered in employment exchange also to know job opportunities, but only a small percentage of people get jobs through advertisements or through the employment exchange.
  2. People employ themselves also. There are different types of workers who are self employed such as plumbers, electricians and carpenters at one end and teachers who get private tuitions, architects and freelance photographers at the other end, all rely on personal contacts. They hope that their work (of good quality) will be an advertisement for them.
  3. Telephones and Mobile phones, etc. have made life much easier for plumbers and others who can now cater to widen circle of people.
  4. Job recruitment as a factory worker takes a different pattern. In the past, several workers got their jobs through contractors or jobbers. In the Kanpur textile mills, these jobbers were known as mistris, and were themselves workers. They came from the same regions and communities as the workers.
  5. There are certain workers who work on contract basis even in the organized sector. They are not given the status of regular or permanent workers.
  6. There contracts system is most visible in the hiring of casual labour for work on construction sites, brickyards and so on. The contractor goes to villages and asks if people want work. He loan them some money. This loan includes the cost of transport of the workside. the loaned money is treated as an advance wage and the worker works without wages until the loan is repaid.

Read the given passage and answer the following questions:The Indian Language Newspaper Revolution
The most significant happening in the last few decades has been the Indian language newspaper revolution. The beginnings of this growth predated liberalisation. The top two dailies in India are Dainik Jagran and Dainik Bhaskar with a readership of 21 million and 17 million, respectively. The fastest growing dailies are the Assamese dailies in urban areas (51.8 percent increase) and the Bengali dailies in rural areas (129 percent)Source: National Readership Survey 2002.
The Eenadu story also exemplifies the success of the Indian language press. Ramoji Rao, the founder of Eenadu, had successfully organised a chit-fund, before launching the paper in 1974. By associating with appropriate causes in the rural areas like the Anti-arrack movement in the mid-1980s, the Telugu newspaper was able to reach into the countryside. This prompted it to launch 'district dailies' in 1989. These were tabloid inserts of sensational features carrying news from particular districts as well as classified advertisements from villages and small towns of the same. By 1998 Eenadu was being published from ten towns in Andhra Pradesh and its circulation accounted for 70 percent of the audited Telugu daily circulation.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
What I object to is the craze for machinery, not machinery as such. The craze is for what they call labour-saving machinery. Men go on ‘saving labour’ till thousands are without work and thrown on the open streets to die of starvation. I want to save time and labour, not for a fraction of mankind, but for all. I want the concentration of wealth, not in the hands of the few, but in the hands of all.
When as a nation we adopt the spinning wheel, we not only solve the question of unemployment but we declare that we have no intention of exploiting any nation, and we also end the exploitation of the poor by the rich.
