Directions (Q. 126–135): Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/phrases have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

The high-speed rail project between Mumbai and Ahmedabad has lessons for other infrastructure. The project gets 80 percent of its funding as a 50-year loan from the Japanese, at a rate of interest of 0.1 percent. The world is awash in liquidity, pushing interest rates down. Developed country governments are eager to help their corporate champions find markets for their products and services. The British government has dispensed with the pretence that aid is about altruism and linked overseas assistance to British economic interests. Turbines for power plants, radars for airports, heavy machinery for mining and road building, expertise in town planning and sustainable construction, mass urban transport systems, anything and everything is available for the asking, provided India can come up with a credible project that will generate an assured return. That is entirely doable.

In 2016, Indian companies and markets have a chance to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, without relying on the benevolence of the global economy. But to do that, they will need support from policymakers in New Delhi and in states. Between January and December 2015, depending on what exchange rates you assume, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) made a net purchase of $1.6-2 billion the lowest ever in the last four years and less than a fifth of the annual average for the period. Global investors are spooked by a slowdown in all emerging markets, especially China. Another big reason is the sudden drop in wealth with oil exporting nations which run the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds as crude has crashed from $100 to $30 per barrel. Domestic funds have struggled to fill the gap.

Liquidity will return if India sets its house in order. Companies are debt-ridden and struggling because the domestic reform environment is weak. There is much that can and must be done. To start with, a new bankruptcy code will help clean up many corporate balance sheets. But projects have to become viable, especially in the infrastructure sector.

Eminent agriculture scientists have (151) that India should accelerate field trials of GM crops with the combined services of the Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) and state agriculture universities. It’s a sensible (152) and must be pursued diligently. The stalemate that’s gripped India’s efforts to accelerate the development of GM crops, after its success with BT cotton, must be broken. Though the national Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee has approved field (153) for new GM strains of important crops like rice, wheat etc, its efforts have been stymied by many state governments refusing (154) for field trials. A joint (155) by central and state research institutions, coordinating all India field trials, will help secure greater acceptance from the states. After all they have an important stake in improving agriculture’s prospects. As the experience with cotton shows, GM crops help reduce the costs of (156), raise crop productivity, boost farmer’s (157), critically raising agriculture output to meet the needs of a growing population. One reason various states remain inhibited about GM trials is (158) over the years some of government’s own expert committees have taken a very negative(159), stressing the need for innovation much less than the need for greater caution in adopting new technologies- instead of seeking a balance. Actually, India’s safety mechanisms for GM field trials are already in line with those advocated by multilateral organizations. Some states like Maharashtra and Gujarat have already proceeded ahead with field trails. But a coordinated approach (160) ICAR and state universities can help bring more states on board, giving a boost to India’s pursuit of greater food security.
