SECTION A(READING)
1. Read the following passage carefully:
7
(1) Slowly, but surely, two Indian rockets were born at Thumba. They were christened Rohini
and Menaka, after the two mythological dancers in the court of Indra, the king of the sky. The
Indian payloads no longer needed to be launched by French rockets, Could this have been done
but for the atmosphere of trust and commitment which Prof. Sarabhal had created? He made
every man feel directly involved in problem solving. By the very fact of the team members"
participation, the solutions became genuine and earned the trust of the entire team resulting In
total commitment towards Implementation.
(2) Prof Sarabhal was matter-of-fact. He used to talk with us in an honest and objective
manner. Sometimes I found him making things look more positive than they actually were, and
then charming us by his almost magical powers of persuasion. When we were at the drawing
board, he would bring someone from the developed world for a technical collaboration. That
was his subtle way of challenging each one of us to stretch our capabilities.
(3) At the same time, even if we failed to meet certain objectives, he would praise whatever we
had accomplished. Whenever he found any one of us attempting a task for which he did not
have the capability or skill, Prof. Sarabhal would reassign activity in such a way so as to lower
pressure and permit better quality work to be performed. By the time the first Rohini-75 rocket
was launched from TERLA on 20 November 1967, almost each one of us was in his own groove.
(4) Early next year, Prof Sarabhal called me urgently in Delhi. By now I was accustomed to Prof
Sarabhal's working methods. He was always full of enthusiasm and optimism. In such a state
of mind, sudden flashes of Inspiration were almost natural. On reaching Delhi, I contacted Prof.
Sarabhal's secretary and was asked to meet him at 3.30 a.m. at Hotel Ashoka. Delhi being a
slightly unfamiliar place, with an unfriendly climate for someone like me, conditioned to the
WEdit with WPS Office
warm and humid climate of South India, I decided to walt in the hotel lounge.
(5) I have always been a religious person and I maintain a working partnership with God. I was
aware that the best work required more ability than I possessed and therefore I needed help
only
God could glve me. I made a true estimate of my ability, ralsed it by 50 per cent and put myself
In God's hands. In this partnership, I always recelved all the power I needed, and have actually
felt it flowing through me. Today, I can affirm that the kingdom of God is within you in the form
of this power, to help achieve your goals.
