Statement–Courses of Action (migration due to agrarian distress): Villagers are migrating to cities after repeated crop failures have created precarious finances; evaluate which course(s) logically follow—(I) create alternative income sources in villages to retain people, (II) provide jobs in cities to support already-migrated villagers—based on immediacy, feasibility, and root-cause vs. relief balance.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Both I and II follow

Explanation:


Given data

  • Statement: Crop failures have pushed villagers into financial distress, triggering unprecedented urban migration.
  • Course I: Provide alternative village-based livelihoods to curb migration.
  • Course II: Provide jobs to already-migrated villagers in urban areas for survival.


Concept / Approach
Sound courses of action can simultaneously combine long-term structural fixes (addressing root causes) with short-term relief (supporting those already affected).


Step-by-step evaluation
Step 1: Migration driver = agrarian income shock. Village-level alternatives (I) directly address the root cause and help retention.Step 2: Many have already migrated; immediate safety-net jobs (II) are necessary for survival and stability.Step 3: The two measures are complementary, not mutually exclusive.


Verification / Alternative
Policy practice commonly blends rural employment schemes (root-cause) with urban livelihood support (relief) during agrarian crises.


Common pitfalls

  • Choosing only long-term or only short-term actions when both are warranted and feasible.


Final Answer
Both I and II follow.
