Read the passage and answer the following questions:Procurement of wheat is in full swing in the north western states of India. By June end, public agencies are likely to end up with food grain stocks of about 40 to 42 million tonnes, the highest ever witnessed in the history of this country. This stock should be more than sufficient to ensure that the country's "food security" is not endangered even if India faces two consecutive droughts. But strangely enough, while the grannaries over flow, there is still widespread hunger in the country even without a drought. The estimates of poverty are being debated, but broadly one-third of India seems to remain underfed. And this co-existence of grain surpluses with large scale hunger should make any serious policy maker think and examine the existing policy mix with a view to ensure faster economic growth and reduction in poverty.India's food grains stock has been satisfactory over the past few years.
- India; at present, is one of the countries in the world to have sufficient food for its people.
- The distribution of food grains to the masses has remained a problem area for India.
- The policy of India needs to be revamped to reduce the extent of poverty in the country.
- The policy makers in India are unaware of prevalent hunger.

Read the passage and answer the following questions:From the beginning of the new year, the good news continues on the economic front. Following on the heels of encouraging GDP growth figures for the second quarters, we now have happy tidings on the trade front as well. November 2002 saw the country's exports record a healthy 16% increase compared to the corresponding period last year. With this, the growth rate in exports for the first eight months of the current fiscal now stands at a robust 16%. Of course part of the reason for this apparently encouraging performance is because of the base effect - exports actually fell 1.8% during 2001-2002. But that is only part of the reasons. For the rest, recovery in global trade and to give credit where it is due, concerted efforts by exporters have played no small role.The percentage growth in exports during 2002-2003 was mainly due to the decreased volume of exports during 2001-2002.
- The efforts put in by the Indian exporters were comparatively less than their counter parts in developed countries.
- There has been substantial increase in the extent of trade all over the world during the last financial year.
- During 2001-2002, the quantum of the country's exports was about three-fourths of that in 2002-2003.
- There has been a consistent drop in quantum of exports during last three years.
