Section C — Verbal Ability
RC: “India’s post-1991 liberalisation dismantled the licence raj but did not deliver promised employment growth. Manufacturing’s share of GDP has stagnated near 16% for two decades, while services have boomed. The result is jobless growth: GDP rises faster than formal employment. Economists disagree on causes — some cite labour laws, others land acquisition, others insufficient skilling — but agree the pattern is unusual for a country at India’s stage of development. A premature shift to services without a robust manufacturing base may trap millions in low-productivity work.”
