Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

Ask what each group wants from development.

Hint 2

Think of a dam's effect on industrialists and displaced people.

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. People have different life situations, so each seeks what is most important to them. Their notions of development can even conflict.

    1 mark

  2. Industrialists may want more dams for electricity, while displaced tribals lose land and homes because of them.

    1 mark

  3. Those affected may prefer small check dams or tanks for irrigating their own land. Development is therefore seen differently by different people.

    1 mark

Answer: Goals differ with people's situations, as the dams example shows.

Where the marks are

  • Different goals (1 mark)
  • Dam example, industrialists versus tribals (1 mark)
  • Alternative like check dams (1 mark)
