Noting that start-up policy is important for economic growth, start-ups are the biggest job creators. We have to turn our youth into job givers not job seekers.

When India gained Independence in 1947, Prime Minister Nehru retained the extensive powers of the British colonial administration — including laws that gave officials the right to intervene in almost any aspect of daily life. However, at the same time, he also dramatically reduced salaries in the public sector. The result was a system in which an enormous number of poorly paid public employees had wide-ranging opportunities to ‘make a bit on the side’ through administrative coercion. It was almost inevitable that corruption would start to infect the system. For example, the average Indian policeman is paid so poorly that taking bribes is almost part of the salary structure.

This time the post of tutor remained occupied longer than before. From the very beginning of their acquaintance Heera and his pupil became great friends. Never before did Heera have such an opportunity of loving any young human creature. His mother had been so poor and dependent, that he had never had the privilege of playing with the children where she was employed at work. He had not hitherto suspected the hidden stores of love which lay all the while accumulating in his own heart.

Question 10

Direction: Read the given passage carefully. Choose the most appropriate option from the given alternatives which expresses the summary of the passage.

The explosion of interest in artificial intelligence is driven by the success of machine learning, a field that uses algorithms to find meaningful patterns in data. To work well, many of today’s algorithms must be trained on huge amounts of data, a task that takes a lot of computer power. Without collaborative projects, universities can rarely compete with the big tech firms on data or computing. Instead, they focus on new ideas: building algorithms that learn from less information, for instance. Here is where jobs in companies get the superior place in the minds of students.
