Question

Q.1) Read the given passage carefully.


Do you know that around 270 eucalyptus trees or 460 bamboo plants are saved when we produce

one tonne of hand-made paper? It is eco friendly hand-made paper that also checks pollution of

water, land and air. Large quantities of polluting chemicals are used by paper mills.

Hand-made paper is the best form of recycled paper. It has a fine surface for writing. It is also

strong enough for making drawings. Paper manufacturing is a very old tradition. It was invented in

China nearly two thousand years back. Indians used the leaves of palm trees for writing. Papyrus is

a kind of paper made from a reed of the same name. It grew on the banks of the River Nile, and was

used in Egypt.

The hand-made paper industry flourished in India during the Mughal period. But it died with the

setting up of paper mills in the 18th and 19th centuries. Mahatma Gandhi revived it during the

freedom movement. Today it is a fast growing industry.
