With the purpose of upliftment of Gonda district in Uttar Pradesh a new formula was evolved forpractical success in several fields, such as, irrigation, animal husbandry, dairy farming, moral uplift andcreation of financial resources. Small farms were clustered for irrigation by one diesel pump which couldirrigate about 20 acres of land. Youth were prompted to take loans from the banks for purchase of enginepumps to be supplied to the farmers on rent. This formula worked so well that the villages in Gonda districtwere saturated with irrigation facilities. Cattle rearing was linked with multiple cropping.

Most of the targets fixed for different areas were achieved, which was an unusual phenomenon. Thiscoul be possible only because of right motivation, participation and initiative of the people. Imagination andcreativity combined together helped in finding out workable solutions to the problems of the community.

56. There was no problem and complaint of people residing in entire Gonda district, before the beginningof the project.

57. Purchasing of engine pumps by individual farmers may be beyond their affordable limits.

58. Earlier fanning was not basically one of the professions of people in Gonda district.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Directions (Q. 126 - 135): Read the following passage to answer the given questions. Some words have beenprinted in Bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.

We tend to be harsh on our bureaucracy, but no where do citizens enjoy dealing with their government.They do it because they have to. But that doesn't mean that the experience has to be dismal. Now there is anew wind blowing through government departments around the world, which could take some of this painaway. In the next five years it may well transform not only the way public services are delivered but also thefundamental relationship between government and citizens. Not surprisingly, it is the internet that is behindit. After e-commerce and e-business, the next revolution may be e-governance.

Examples abound. The municipality of Phoenix, Arizona, allows its citizens to renew their carregistrations, pay traffic fines, replace lost identity cards etc online without having to stand in endless queuesin a grubby municipal office. The municipality is happy because it saves $5 a transaction-it costs only $ 1.60to process an online transaction versus $ 6.60 to do it across the counter. In chile, people routinely submittheir income tax returns over the Internet, which has increased transparency, drastically reduced the timetaken and the number of errors and litigation with the tax department. Both tax payers and the revenuedepartment are happier.

The furthest ahead, not surprisingly, is the small, rich and entrepreneurial civil service of Singapore,which allows citizens to do more functions online than any other. As in many private companies, thepurchasing and buying of Singapore's government departments is now on the Web, and cost benefits comethrough more competitive bidding, easy access to global supplies and time saved by online processing oforders. They can post their catalogues on their 'site', bid for contracts submit in voices and check theirpayment status over the Net.

The most useful idea for Indian municipalities is Government works a private sector-run site thatcollects local taxes, fines, and utility bills for 3,600 municipalities across the United States. It is a citizen'ssite which also provides information on government jobs, tenders, etc. The most ambitious is the Britishgovernment, which has targeted to convert 100 per cent of its transactions with its citizens to the Internet by2005.

Cynics in India will way, 'Oh, e-government will never work in India. We are so poor and we don'thave computers. But they are wrong! There are many experiments a foot in India as well. Citizens in AndhraPradesh can download government forms and submit applications on the Net without having to bribe clerks.

In many districts, land records are online and this has created transparency. Similarly, in Dhar districtof Madhya Pradesh, villagers have began to file applications for Land transfers and follow their progress onthe Net. In seventy village in the Kolhapur and Sangli districts in Maharashtra. Internet booths have come upwhere farmers can daily check the market rates of agricultural commodities in Marathi, along with data onagricultural schemes, information on crop technology, when to spray and plant their crops and bus andrailway timetables. They also find vocational guidance on jobs, applications for ration cards, kerosene/gasburners and land record extracts with details of land ownership.

Sam Pitroda's World Tel, Reliance Industries and the Tamil Nadu Government are joingly laying3,000 kms of optic fibre cables to create a Tamil Network which will offer ration cards, school, college andhospital admission forms, land records, and pension records. If successful, World Tel will expand the networkto Gujarat, Karnataka and West Bengal. In Kerala, all the villages are getting linked online to the districtheadquarters, allowing citizens to compare the development priorities of their village with other villagers inthe state.

Many are still skeptical of the real linepact because so few Indians have computers. The answer lies ininteractive cable T.V. and in Internet kiosks.

By 2005 most cable homes will have access to the Internet from many of the 700,000 local STD/PCObooths.
