The most acceptable explanation of Social Justice is

A.Economic development
B.Social development
C.Uplift of specific sections
D.Uplift of all the sections of society

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

The most acceptable explanation of social justice is the uplift of all the sections of society. Social justice means fair treatment and opportunity for everyone, with special care for the weak, so that the whole society moves up.

Economic development and social development are only parts of it, and uplift of specific sections alone is too narrow, since justice is for all.

Assertion (A) : Bio-ethics and Social Justice are interrelated.

Reason (R) : Affordable access to health care especially for low income households and families refers to bio-ethics.

A.Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
B.Both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
C.(A) is true but (R) is false.
D.(A) is false but (R) is true.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: A

The official key takes both statements as correct and the reason as the explanation. Bioethics and social justice are related, since fair access to health care raises questions of justice. The reason, affordable access to health care for low income families, is accepted by the key as the point at which bioethics meets social justice. I could not check this in a source, so the key is followed.

The options saying that the reason does not explain, or that either statement is false, are rejected by the key.

'Association of Voluntary Agencies for Rural Development' (AVARD) was established in the year :

A.1952
B.1958
C.1962
D.1968

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

The Association of Voluntary Agencies for Rural Development was established in 1958. It is a body of voluntary organisations working for rural development, formed in the period of the early community development effort.

1952 is the year the Community Development Programme began. 1962 and 1968 are later and are not the year given in the key. So the answer is 1958.

In which Article of the Constitution of India, the provision of 'workers' participation in management of undertakings is given ?

A.Article 42
B.Article 42 A
C.Article 43
D.Article 43 A

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

The provision for the participation of workers in the management of undertakings is in Article 43A of the Constitution, a Directive Principle added by the 42nd Amendment in 1976.

Article 42 is about just and humane conditions of work and maternity relief, Article 43 about a living wage, and Article 42A does not exist. So the key accepts 43A.

Assertion (A) : Welfare State is criticised as too expensive.

Reason (R) : Financing the services has become a burden and the cost has to be borne by the middle and upper middle classes through the instrument of progressive taxation.
Codes :

A.Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
B.Both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
C.(A) is true, but (R) is false.
D.(A) is false, but (R) is true.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

Both statements are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A), according to the key. The welfare state is criticised as too expensive, and financing its services has become a burden.

The reason names a source of finance, the burden on the middle and upper classes through progressive taxation, which does not explain the criticism that the welfare state is too expensive; it is a separate point about who pays. So the second option is correct.

As per the Memorandum of Articles of Central Social Welfare Board

(i) In each of the participating States/UTs there has to be a State Social Welfare Board.
(ii) The State Board is to perform such functions as are entrusted to it by the Ministry of Social Welfare.
(iii) More than half the members of the State Social Welfare Board are to be nominated by State Governments/UTs.
(iv) The Chairman of the Board is preferably a woman social worker.
Select the correct answer by using codes given below :
Codes :

A.(i) and (ii)
B.(ii) and (iii)
C.(iii) and (iv)
D.(i) and (iv)

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: D

Statements (i) and (iv) are named in the key, so the answer is option D. Under the Memorandum of Articles of the Central Social Welfare Board, each participating State or Union Territory has a State Social Welfare Board, and the Chairman is preferably a woman social worker.

The other statements, that the State Board performs functions entrusted by the Ministry and that more than half of the members are nominated by the state government, are not accepted in the key. The fourth option is therefore the answer.

Assertion (A) : National Livelihood Mission is a part of social welfare in India.

Reason (R) : National Rural Health Mission aims at the development of physical infrastructure in rural areas.
Codes :

A.Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
B.Both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
C.(A) is true, but (R) is false.
D.(A) is false, but (R) is true.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

(A) is true but (R) is false. The National Livelihood Mission is a part of social welfare in India, as it aims at poverty reduction by organising the poor into self-help groups and giving them livelihood opportunities.

The reason is false as stated, because the National Rural Health Mission aims at providing accessible, affordable and quality health care to the rural population, and its aim is not described as only the development of physical infrastructure. So the third option is correct.

Which Five Year Plan has stressed upon the involvement of voluntary organization and specifically to supplement Government effort to offer the rural people choices and alternatives ?

A.Sixth Five Year Plan
B.Seventh Five Year Plan
C.Ninth Five Year Plan
D.Eleventh Five Year Plan

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The Seventh Five Year Plan stressed the involvement of voluntary organisations, to supplement the effort of the Government and offer rural people choices and alternatives, as the key gives.

The Sixth, Ninth and Eleventh Plans also dealt with development of the rural areas, but the statement as worded is credited to the Seventh Plan, so those options are rejected. Voluntary organisations are linked to rural development in the plans from the Sixth on. The key points to the Seventh Plan for the wording of supplementing government effort and offering the rural people choices and alternatives.

Which one of the following makes provisions for social security ?

A.Indian Contract Act
B.Maternity Benefit Act
C.Indian Industries Act
D.Indian Companies Act

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The Maternity Benefit Act makes provision for social security. It protects the employment of women at the time of childbirth and gives the maternity benefit of paid leave.

The Indian Contract Act regulates agreements, the Indian Companies Act regulates company law, and the Industries Act deals with the regulation of industries. None of them provides social security, so those options are rejected.

Which of the following is known as the third sector of Indian economy ?

A.Public Sector
B.Co-operatives
C.Private Sector
D.Joint Sector

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

Co-operatives are known as the third sector of the Indian economy. The public sector is the first, the private sector is the second, and cooperative enterprises, which are owned and run by their members, are described as the third.

The joint sector is a mix of public and private participation and so is not the one called the third sector. The term third sector is used for organisations that are neither government owned nor private for profit, such as cooperatives and voluntary bodies. That is why the option for co-operatives is chosen over the public, private and joint sectors.
