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 quarter, we now have happy tidings on the trade front as well. Now 2002 saw the country’s export 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 0.8% during 2000-01. But that is only part of the reason. For the rest, recovery is 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 2002-03 was mainly due to the decreased volume of exports during 2001-02.
The efforts put in by the Indian exporters were comparatively less than their counterparts in developed countries.
There has been substantial increase in the extent of trade all over the world during the last financial year.
During 2001-02, the quantum of country’s exports’ was about three-fourth of that in 2002-03.
There has been consistent drop in quantum of exports during last three years.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/expressions are printed in bold in the passage to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
Child Psychology is certainly not a strong point with most Indian schools; why else would they inflict a double trauma on a student faring badly in the pre-boards by banning her from taking the board exams. Often with fatal results as evidenced by reports of student suicides in the run-up to the boards. Now the Central board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has stepped in and put the brakes on this discriminatory practise, ruling that no student can be barred from the boards without prior clearance from the CBSE. The good news for parents and students, many of whom have had to live with the threat of performance-linked debarment. While the schools’ logic is that in order to attract talented students, the need to maintain performance records at high levels, the assumption that a student faring poorly at the preboards will ‘’replicate’’ this at the boards is faulty. Chances are that the student will by ‘’spurred’’ to work doubly hard. On the other hand, the threat of debarment will almost certainly impact adversely on her performance. Of course, linking pre-boards to the boards is only one of the problems with our school system.
