OCTOBER (WEEK 4) ASSIGNMENT 3

READING SKILLS

Read the passage given below.

1. Every Republic Day security in the city is beefed up. You furry 'canines on duty-

everywhere from the Metro to the airport. While these trained dogs are can see lot more

of the four-legged, sniffing around your bags, you might be tempted to pet them, but the

CISF officials accompanying them do not approve of such behavior on the commuters

part As one official puts it, "People fawn over them and ask us questions, but we don't

entertain anyone. Our dogs are soldiers, not showpieces

2. The CISF headquarters in Delhi have three breeds - German Shepherds, Labrador

Retriever and Cocker Spaniels, and the officials claim that these are the best-trained

dogs in the country,

3. We have seen Metro commuters fighting, shouting and arguing for seats and space.

But if you have ever seen these four-legged soldiers in the Metro, you must have

noticed how they don't bark or even look at the commuters Even in packed Metros, they

never lose their cool. A CISF official says, "They won't bark at or bite people. These

dots don't bite anyone, unless given the command to attack by their trainers."

4. Usually transported in the women's coaches of the Metro, it is not uncommon to see

girls and children going crazy as soon as they make an entrance. But they just ignore

everyone and move only at the handler's command. An official says, "A dog is obedient

by nature, Our dogs and their handlers share a special bond, which is so strong that if

the handler is on leave, the dog won't even cat. They are trained to not touch or listen to

anyone's command except their handlers. They also don't eat anything given by

someone else. We train three handlers with two dogs, so that when one handler is on

leave the dog doesn't face an emotional crisis and stop eating or working

5. Talking about the training procedure, a CISF official says "We procure the puppies

when they are only six months old and then they are sent to the Border Security Force

Academy, Tekanpur, Gwalior, for a six-month training period with their handlers (both

are trained together). After the training, when the dog is a year old, he is sent for the

appointed service, which he continues for the next nine years. Each dog is named by

his handler and like soldiers, these dogs also have their certificates and service

records."

6. If you think these canines lead a dog's life, you are mistaken. Says a CISF official.

"He is not a dog for us, he is a soldier who assists us in our operations." The official

adds, "All the dogs in the kennel are trained twice a day--morning and evening. They

have a fixed diet and feeding what the dog will eat at what time of the day is decided by

doctors. As these dogs have to carry out several duties and have to stand and move for

hours, they need to eat healthy time

7. Pet parents should learn how to take care of their dogs from these CISF officials, who

consider the members of the dog brigade their colleagues. The CISF has four kennels

in Delhi and each dog gets a separate room, which it doesn't have to share with another

dog. Each dog also has its own belongings-a blanket, shampoo, towel - with its name

on it. During the winter, they have heaters and during the summer, they have a personal

cooler.

8. A soldier needs to be fit and if a dog soldier is not fit, its service has to be

discontinued. Says an official, "We can't help it. If a dog becomes bulky, we can't take it

for duty because it has to travel a lot and won't be fit enough for all the activities. At

present, we have divided all the Metro lines in two-three sub-divisions, and each dog

has a four-hour duty daily.

ASSIGNMENT 2 - NOTEMAKING

Read the following passage carefully :-

Petty corruption can be checked, but not the sophisticated variety. It is incorrect to suppose that corruption is best fought through investigation and punishment. Our experience with law enforcement and the judiciary suggests otherwise. Corruption is better addressed through transparency, clear rules for decision-making and e-governance. The RTI Act is probably an answer to corruption. Limiting the role of government does not limit corruption. Most people associate corruption with government. They believe that if the role of government does not limit corruption. Most people associate corruption with government. They believe that if the role of government is restricted, it will limit the scope of corruption. This is astonishingly naïve. Corruption thrives in the corporate sector as well. And some of the biggest opportunities for graft relate to the sale of government land and natural resources to the private sector. A state that mishandles ownership of public assets is also likely to handle their transfer to private hands. Privatisation is no answer to corruption. It only creates another avenue for graft. Corruption has more to do with the economic structure of society than with individuals being good or bad. The crucial point is that corruption is a manifestation of an underlying malaise, namely an iniquitous economic structure.

“The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently”, said Friedrich Nietzsche, German philosopher, poet and composer. In such a structure, those at the top will benefit from both legal and illegal corruption. Any answer to corruption must attack the economic structure itself. Addressing inequalities in society may be a more sensible way of tackling corruption than bringing in tough anti-corruption laws or appealing to our values. Yet people who profess revulsion at corruption have no qualms about supporting economic measures that widen inequalities or criticizing measures aimed at reducing these. Corruption is not just about bad guys who give or take bribes; the greater corruption involves nice guys who are comfortably ensconced in a predatory economic structure. That structure is as old as mankind; it only keeps changing its forms. Anti-graft crusades can slow down the wheels of the economy in the short-run, as decision making in government is paralysed. In the long run, such crusades end up delegitimizing the institutions of democracy and pave the way for dictatorship, which makes corruption even worse. 2.1 On the basis of your reading of the above passage make notes on it. Using

headings and sub headings. Use recognizable abbreviations (wherever

necessary-minimum four and a format you consider suitable. Also supply

an appropriate title to it.

2.2 Write summary of the passage in about 50 words.
