Response to Queries

If you know the names of the directors of important organisations, national and international the projects they are involved with.
The immediate preceding position held by the directors also crucial.

Similarly, know the names of the Ministers of various ministries of the Govt of India and the states they hail from and the other positions held by them currently or in the immediate past.

Know statistics of India - as the highest gender differences in which state, the highest rural unemployment ratio exists in which state, the state with the maximum number of natural resources etc. - Census 2001, Budget 2008 etc.

India - position in world rankings - adult literacy etc. The millennium development report 2008, WTO reports, UN reports etc.

India - budget 2008 - Rural and Agricultural sectors especially, but also education, health etc.

NABARD - for sure

CAPART

Other premier rural development and agri - based institutions

a few NGOs in India - too vast, so this could be optional

Please go through the IRMA papers and you will know what you could easily focus on and score.
You cannot attempt the entire section. You are not expected to! Expend only about 20 minutes on this section. Which means the number of questions would be fewer and the accuracy rate should be ideally high. Do not take too many risks. Beware of the 1/4 negative marking. But do not be too scared to take some smart risks based on the questions and options that you ar presented with in the paper.

BEST of LUCK
