Directions(71 80): Read the following passage
carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Certain words / phrases have been printed in bold
to help you locate them while answering some of
the questions.
A man called Ramaya lived in a small village. De-
spite being a nice man, he did not have any friends.
It was well known in the town that anyone unfor-
tunate enough to look at him first thing in the
morning would not be able to have food that day.
That was why no one in the town liked encounter-
ing Ramaya in the morning, if they could help it.
As soon as the king heard this rumour he decided
to try it out himself.
He summoned Ramaya to the palace and ordered
him to sleep in a room adjacent to his bedcham-
ber. Ramaya had no choice but to follow the kings
order. He feared that the rumour would come true.
The next morning, the first time the king did after
waking up, was to take a look at Ramaya. When
the king reached the breakfast table, he saw that
the royal chef had forgotten to prepare his favourite
7
dish. This angered him and he refused to have
breakfast. After finishing a few important duties
in the court, the king went to the dining hall for
lunch. The food arrived piping hot. The king had
hardly picked up the first morsel when he caught
sight of a fly in the food. He left the table in
disgust and when the food was prepared again for
him, he found that he had lost his appetite. At
the dinner table, an ignorant minister started eat-
ing before the king had started. This offended the
king. He stormed out of the dining hall and refused
to come back. As a result, the king could not eat
anything at all that day. The enraged king was
now convinced that Ramaya was really jinxed. He
ordered that Ramaya be hanged. In those days the
kings word was the law. The soldiers had no op-
tion but to take Ramaya to the gallows. While on
their way to the gallows, they met the court jester.
He heard the story from Ramaya. The jester felt
that it was an unfair decision and that none of
this was Ramayas fault. He came up with a plan
to save Ramaya from being hanged. He whispered
something in Ramayas ears. Ramaya nodded be-
fore being whisked away.
It was mandatory to grant one last wish to the
person who was being hanged. When the soldiers
asked Ramaya about his last wish, he asked them
to convey a message to the king. He also requested
that he be hanged only after hearing the kings
response. Tell the king that while it may be true
that anyone who sees my face first thing in the
morning does not get anything to eat that day, its
also true that if anyone sees the kings face first
thing in the morning, as I did, he has to lose his
life. So who is the greater jinx - the king or I ?"
said Ramaya.
On hearing the message, the king was stunned. He
realised his foolishness and ordered his soldiers
to stop the execution. He summoned Ramaya and
offered him gifts. He also requested Ramaya not
to say anything about the incident to the public.
He was sure that the people of the village wouldnt
take well to the idea of having a jinxed person for a
ruler. Ramaya agreed. When the villagers saw Ra-
maya returning with the gifts, they assumed that
the rumour was false and that the king had given
the gifts to Ramaya as compensation. They were

Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) have long
been recognised for their potential as environ-
ment friendly, versatile and sustainable energy al-
ternatives for rural areas of India. However, de-
spite efforts by the Ministry of Non-conventional
Energy Sources (MNES) and the India Renewable
Energy Development Agency (IREDA), RETs have
not yet succeeded as a major alternative source of
energy in rural India. The programmes of MNES
 yoursmahboob.wordpress.com
Practice Set 2
and IREDA designed to support small-scale dis-
tributed systems have relied on heavily subsidized
credit, technology training and consumer aware-
ness activities to stimulate the market for end-user
finance for renewable energy systems for domestic
use and a tiered set of capital and interest rate sub-
sidies for water pumping in the agriculture sector.
While end-users in some rural areas now have ac-
cess to solar-powered lanterns or lights and biogas
systems for their home, and agricultural operations
are taking advantage of remarkable capital subsi-
dies for solar energy to use for water pumping, the
use of heavy capital and interest rate subsidies, and
the focus on domestic use rather than on matching
renewable energy technology applications with in-
come enhancement opportunities have tied the suc-
cess of these programmes to government budgets
and political cycles limiting both the breadth and
depth of development and penetration of projects
that harness renewable energy resources.
In order of fully understand the barriers to
the development of renewable energy enter-
prises/projects in rural India, we must review a
few of the key characteristics of investments in re-
newable energy projects.
First, investments in renewable energy projects are
relatively information and capital-intensive. The
greater information intensity arises primarily from
the need for more upfront information regard-
ing the energy resource compared to conventional
power projects. Renewable energy resource as-
sessments, in most cases, need to be site-specific
and preferably with data for a significant period
of time. Renewable energy technologies are also
more capital-intensive than conventional hydrocar-
bon ones because of the large upfront investment
cost in generation equipment needed to utilize a
free or low-cost energy source. Due to the cap-
ital intensity, the financial viability of such in-
vestments and projects is often more dependent
on longer-term financing structures available at the
outset of the project.
Second, individual renewable energy investments
are generally smaller than those made in conven-
tional power generation projects due to constraints
on local resource availability. Local resource avail-
ability is in turn limited by the low energy density
7
of renewable energy resources. As extensive time
and resources are necessary to catalogue the site
specific resource availability before financing can
be considered, the technical and managerial know-
how requirements and associated costs that occur
prior to the project often represent a much larger
percentage of project costs than in the case of con-
ventional power projects.
Third, entrepreneurs developing small-scale renew-
able energy projects face the same business and fi-
nancial risks associated with any enterprise. The
viability of any enterprise depends on its ability to
build a business based on solid concepts and com-
petencies in sound contexts that mitigate those
risks.
Considering the aforementioned characteristics,
the key barriers to development of small-scale re-
newable energy projects are fourfold. First, rural
entrepreneurs do not usually have the knowledge
and expertise necessary to write business plans for
projects that link renewable energy technologies
with productive use of applications, to assess the
rewards and risks of the project and estimate the
costs to mitigate the associated risks. All of these
are necessary inputs before a project is presented
to a financier for investment. In addition, the nego-
tiations with financiers may be complex, involv-
ing concepts and approaches that are not familiar
to the entrepreneur. Second, the paperwork and
soft costs associated with identifying and obtain-
ing access to financing for small and medium-scale
projects is high relative to the financing needs.
Without critical first-stage financing, most of the
entrepreneurs interested in developing renewable
energy projects will not be able to take the time
away from normal business operations to imple-
ment renewable energy projects. Third, many of
the renewable energy technologies are still rela-
tively new to the market, so the commercial chains,
networks, marketing and financial links, and other
institutional structures that service traditional en-
ergy technologies are not in place to assist the en-
trepreneur even if she/he has the skills, know-how
and capital. Fourth, given the newness, there is a
limited availability of investment capital to finance
the high upfront costs associated with the initial
stages of developing a renewable energy project.

DIRECTIONS (Qs. 71-80): Read the following passage carefully
and answer the questions given below it.
Long ago there was a poor Brahmin named Krishnan. He
could not find enough work to do. Sometimes, he and his family
had to go without food. At last Krishnan decided to leave his
village in search of work. Early next morning, he left the house.
He walked the whole day until he came to a thick jungle. He was
tired, thirsty and hungry. While looking around for water to
drink, he found a well. He went to the well and looked in. There he
saw a jaguar, a monkey, a snake and a man. They had all fallen
into the well. O, noble Brahmin, the jaguar called out to him,
Please help me out, so that I can go back to my family.
But you are a jaguar, said Krishnan. How do I know you
will not kill me? Dont be afraid of me, I promise I will not do
you any harm, replied the jaguar. Krishnan reached into the well
and pulled out the jaguar. The jaguar thanked him and said, Im
Shersingh. I live in a cave in the mountains. I shall be most
delighted if I can repay my debt to you someday. Krishnan then
heard the monkey calling out to him from the well. The Brahmin at
once pulled the monkey out. The monkey thanked the Brahmin.
If you are ever in need of food, just drop in at my place below
that big mountain. Bali is my name. Now the snake called out to
him for help. Help you! exclaimed Krishnan. You are a snake.
What if you bite me? I shall never bite you, said the snake. So
Krishnan pulled the snake out of the well. The snake said,
Remember, if you are ever in any difficulty, just call out my
name-Naagesh, and wherever you are, I shall find you. The jaguar,
the monkey and the snake took leave of the Brahmin. But before
they left, they spoke to him about the man in the well. Please do
not help him, said Shersingh. If you do, said Naagesh, you
will be in trouble yourself. As soon as they left, the man in the
well began to call out for help. Krishnan felt sorry for the man and
pulled him out of the well. Thank you for your kindness, said
the man. I am Seth Ghanshyamdas. I am a goldsmith. If you ever
need my help, dont hesitate to visit my humble house near the
city. The goldsmith then left for home.
After some time, the Brahmin continued his journey. But he
could not find any work. He then remembered Shersingh, Bali,
Naagesh and Seth Ghanshyamdas. He thought it was time to
seek their help. He first went to Bali. The monkey was overjoyed
to see him. He gave him a warm welcome and offered him some
really delicious fruits. The Brahmin told him how grateful he was.
Now Krishnan went to see Shersingh, the jaguar. As soon as
Shersingh saw Krishnan coming, he ran out to welcome him. He
gave Krishnan a beautiful gold necklace and other precious
jewellery. Krishnan thanked Shersingh for the jewellery and
departed. His journey had at last brought him luck, he thought. He
would be able to sell the ornaments for a good price. But who could
help him to sell the ornaments? He then remembered Seth
Ghanshyamdas. He went to him. The goldsmith was glad to see
Krishnan. I have come to ask for your help, said Krishnan. Here
are some ornaments. Please give me a good price for them. Seth
Ghanshyamdas took the jewellery and examined it carefully. I shall
certainly help you, he said. But let me show them to another
goldsmith. Please wait here, I will be right back. He then went out
with the ornaments. Seth at once rushed to the Palace of the King.
He said, A man brought these ornaments to me and asked me to
sell them. But they are the ornaments I made for the Prince who is
missing. Who is this man? Where is he?, thundered the King.
This rogue must have murdered my little Prince and robbed his
jewels! He is a Brahmin named Krishnan, your Majesty, replied
the goldsmith, and he is there, in my house. The king called for his
most dreaded soldiers. Arrest the Brahmin who is in the
goldsmiths house and throw him into the darkest dungeons of the
kingdom, roared the King. The Kings guard stormed into the
goldsmiths house and seized Krishnan. Krishnan was thrown into
a dark dungeon to await his execution. He then remembered the
words of Naagesh, the snake. So he called out to him.
Suddenly, almost like magic, Naagesh slithered his way
down a narrow window into the dingy cell. O, Lord! hissed
Naagesh, how did you manage to get yourself arrested?
Krishnan cried and then told the snake what had happened. I
have a plan, hissed Naagesh. I shall creep into the Queens
room and bite her, said Naagesh. She will faint. No matter what
they do, she will remain asleep. The poison will remain in her
body until you place your hand on her forehead, explained
Naagesh. He then left Krishnan and went to the palace. He crept
into the Queens room and bit her. The Queen fainted. The sad
news that the Queen had been bitten by a snake spread all over
the Kingdom. Vaidyas came from far and near, but their medicines
had no effect. No one could revive the Queen. Finally, the King
declared that anyone who could cure the Queen would be
handsomely rewarded. Many people went to the palace but all of
them failed. I can cure the Queen, Krishnan told the guards. At
once they took him to the Queen. Krishnan sat beside the Queen
and placed his hand on her forehead. Soon, she opened her eyes
and sat up. The King was overjoyed and shed tears of happiness.
He embraced Krishnan and thanked him. Your Majesty, said
Krishnan. I was sent to prison for a crime I did not commit.
Krishnan told the King the whole story. The King was fuming
with rage when he heard what the goldsmith had done. He at
once had the goldsmith arrested. The King then presented
Krishnan with a large house and a thousand pieces of gold.
Krishnan sent for his family and they all lived happily ever after.
