Question

Article 48A of the Constitution of India provides that ―the State shall

endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests

and wildlife of the country‖. But what causes endless anguish is the fact that

laws are never respected nor enforced in India. (For instance, the Constitution

says that casteism, untouchability and bonded labour shall be abolished, but

they flourish shamelessly even after forty-four years of the operation of the

Constitution.) A recent report of our Parliament‘s Estimates Committee has

highlighted the near catastrophic depletion of India‘s forests over the last four

decades. India, according to reliable data, is losing its forests at the rate of 3.7

million acres a year. Large areas, officially designated as forest land ―are

already virtually treeless‖. The actual loss of forests is estimated to be about

eight times the rate indicated by government statistics.

(aa) passivity

(ab) venture

(ac) enterprise

(ad) whirl

(b) What are the estimates officially done about the actual loss of forests?

(aa) many fold

(ab) eight times
