Dear Readers,

This IBPS & SBI Exam special quiz series will mold your preparations in the right direction and the regular practice of these quizzes will be really very helpful in scoring good marks in the Examination. Here we are providing you the important question of reasoning ability for the IBPS & SBI Exam.
1-10. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some questions.
Census 2011 brings cheer: population growth clocked the sharpest dip since 1947, down to 17.6% from 21.5% 10 years ago. Absolute numbers - 181 million added in 2001-2011 - also fell. Total population however is a mammoth 1.21 billion.
By the looks of it, we’ll beat China’s numbers by 2030. Reassuringly though, when many countries including China will shoulder ageing citizenries, India’s swelling youth brigade can potentially drive growth with productivity, entrepreneurship, savings and incomes. But leveraging this asset requires creation of opportunities.
Take literacy: its rate has risen to 74%, with elevated female literacy clearly having contributed to decadal population decline. Yet, statistical cheer notwithstanding, we’re nowhere near the required 100% target. To get there, our ramshackle public education system must be revamped. With rudimentary skills, countless Indians are literate on paper and countless more not even this. Will they cut it in an increasingly demanding workplace?
Education and employment are intrinsically linked. Besides helping people read and write, we need vocational education and training to create employable skills in areas from plumbing to construction and automaking. Agriculture’s turnaround, it’s said, may mean 58 million additional jobs by 2012.
But the rural sector can’t absorb burgeoning ranks demanding better wages and living conditions. What can is mass industrial employment, mandating labour reform so more factories can be built and employers invest in workers’ skills upgrade.
If India is to produce good managers, domain leaders and innovators, higher education reform is as crucial.
Finally, to sustain population growth, we need good hospitals as much as roads and power. Cities being magnets in any aspirational economy, India’s urban population could hit 590 million by 2030. So urban development needs boosting as well. With the right spurs, our demographic dividend can have a huge payoff in terms of growth and prosperity. Let’s make sure it does.
