When the Britishers left India, our country was in a

before the government was to improve welfare measures for the people. In order
to achieve these objectives India adopted the path of mixed economy. Most of
the capital goods industries were established by the government in the public
sector. The private sector was also allowed to develop side by side. But the
intended results were nowhere in sight due to the financial limitations. So, a

development, technological backwardness, price rise, inadequate capital and
extravagant expenses by the government, which were more than its revenue,
created a crisis in the country.

Subject: Regarding rash and reckless driving
Sir,
Through the column of your esteemed newspaper, I would
like to highlight the problem caused due to the rash and reckless driving in
people in our city. Everybody seems be in a hurry. Drivers of the vehicles
often use their strength at the accelerator in order to reach their destination
as soon as possible. Due to overspeeding, there has been a great increase in
accidents. People do not abide by the traffic rules. There are no rigorous
penalties for those who break the traffic rules. The traffic police neglect
their duties in this regard. As a consequence, hardly a day passes without any
accident in our city.
I would be highly thankful to you if you highlight the
issue in your newspaper to draw the attention of the authorities concerned.
Yours faithfully
Rajeev Kumar

52. Write an article on the need for
education of girls in the country for national development.
Ans-
GIRLS' EDUCATION FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Women mean one half of humanity. It clearly indicates how
important they are in the world. All talks of national reconstruction are
hollow without the education of women. We cannot expect the development of our
nation if women are not provided education. So far, it has been a
male-dominated world. Women played only second fiddle to men in all walks of
life. They were condemned to be within the four-walls of the house. However, education has given them a new
confidence. The scenario is changing fast. The academic world is no longer the
monopoly of men.
More and more young women are coming forward to challenge the dominance of men. Educated girls and women are contributing to the welfare of society. They have proved to be better doctors, artists, administrators, academicians and engineers than many of their male counterparts. What we need to do is to abolish gender bias.
