5. Read the passage given
below and answer the questions that follow:
Information technology and library
are two faces of the same coin. In a village
]setup,mostly the young and old people
use libraries and the middle-aged make little use of
these libraries. They need job-related
information to update their skills and knowledge. The
library and information services play
a dominant role in catering to education, information
and recreational requirements of
society. Library is an instrument of social change. All along
the concept of library has been
associated with literacy and books, and the librarian was
considered the keeper of books.
Concurrent with changes in society, the concept of library
has changed. It is a multimedia centre
and a place for learning resources for the literates as
well as the illiterates. Education is
the key to individual achievement and national strength.
Integrated approach in
starting at least a reading room in every hamlet is the need of the hour.
Co-ordination between the Department of Education and Panchayati Raj in
spreading the library movement is of paramount importance. Amalgamation of
adult education programmes with the library programs also needs to be given a
greater thought. The school can function in a hamlet or a village serving the
common needs of students and public. The massive permanent building programmes
for weaker sections in rural areas should earmark at least one house for every
1,000 houses or in every cluster for library purpose. The services of a retired
teacher or a retired employee in that hamlet can be availed. A person residing
in the same hamlet is more useful with inherent advantages than an outsider for
library work as the library has to function in the evening hours and to be
extended for TV and Internet operations also. Information technology, Internet
and e-commerce have great potential in catering to public needs. However, we
have to be pragmatic in our approach in terms of electronics access to
information in rural areas. Availability, affordability, accessibility,
acceptability and sustainability of service should also be kept in view. Once a
common service place is different, the IT-based services can conveniently be
cushioned on. It is hoped that the states and central governments will give top
priority to this minimum facility.

One day some children found, in a

as large as a hen’s egg. A traveller passing by saw the thing, bought it from
the children for a penny, and, taking it to town, sold it to the king as a
curio.
The king called together his wise men,
and asked them to find out what the thing was. The wise men pondered and
pondered and could not make any head or tail of it till one day, when the thing
was lying on a windowsill, a hen flew in ad pecked at it till she made a hole
in it, nd then everyone found that it was a grain of corn. The wise men went to
the king and said, ‘It is a grain of corn’.
At this the king was much surprised
and he ordered the learned men to find out when and where such corn was grown.
The learned men pondered again, and searched in their books, but could find
nothing about it. So they returned to the king and said, ‘We can give you no
answer. There is nothing about it in our
books. You will have to ask the peasants; perhaps some of them may have
heard from their fathers when and where
such grain grew.’
