Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow, based on your understanding of the passage: (Q.Nos. 71-75)





The field of development anthropology has been around long enough to know, in general terms, what works and what does not when designing programs of planned change. It would be overstating the case to suggest that an anthropologically informed project that takes into consideration local cultural realities is bound to succeed. But it would not be unreasonable to hold that any project ignoring local cultures is very likely to shoot itself in the foot. It is, therefore, stunning to read about a development project initiated in the 1990s that so thoroughly avoided addressing the major issues of development anthropology. Applied anthropologist William Loker (2000) describes a $ 25 million project in Central Honduras designed (allegedly) to create sustainable development while at the same time protect the environment.





The El Cajon Watershed Renewable Natural Resource Program was designed to help very poor people who had been displaced a decade earlier by the construction of a large dam controlled and operated by the national electrical authority. Although the planning documents said all of the right things, the implementation was quite another story. First, because there was no anthropological input, the project administrators knew little about the local culture, attitudes, or local organizations. Project plans called for active participation by local people and close coordination with local non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Yet, owing to lack of interest, a lack of good information, or both, neither of these proposed goals was successfully carried out.





But perhaps even more damaging to this expensive, but potentially beneficial, project was the apparent lack of consideration for some basic issues of development. The dual objectives of the project – sustainable economic development for local people and protecting the environment – are often at odds with each other. The literature is filled with examples of how conflicts exist between economic development and protecting the environment yet program planners never addressed this issue or its implications for project activities. Instead of considering how environmental and development goals could be made compatible, administrators embarked on a tree-planting project without much of an idea as to how it might impact either the social or natural environment. After interviewing the forestry engineer responsible for carrying out the tree-planting project, it became clear to Loker that the most basic questions had not been answered. For example, what trees should be planted, by whom, and for what purpose? How should trees be integrated into the already existing agricultural system? On whose land should the trees be planted, and who owns them? That none of these questions had been answered prior to the start of the project indicated to Loker a shameful lack of thought about the project on the part of the administrators.





Answer: (D)








71. What should be the main concern of development anthropology?





(A) To know what works when designing planned change.





(B) To know what does not work when designing planned change.





(C) To know what works and what does not work when designing planned change.





(D) To design planned change.





Answer: (C)








72. An anthropologically informed project means:





(A) That anthropologists are also the executors of the project.





(B) That it seeks the views of anthropologists on the modalities of the project.





(C) That it takes into consideration local cultural realities.





(D) That it ignores local cultures in favour of anthropologists’ personal opinion.





Answer: (C)

(C) There was a general lack of interest on the part of all the stakeholders.





(D) The dual reasons of a lack of interest and a lack of good information about local cultural realities contributed to the failure of the program.





Answer: (D)








75. What were the lessons learnt from the project?





I. Potential areas of conflict between economic development and protecting the environment were never addressed.





II. There was not much of an idea about the social and natural environment.
