Sir
I have just returned from a tour of the flood affected areas in Bihar, where unprecedented havoc and destruction have taken place.
No doubt people are already familiar with the terrible tragedy that has overtaken Bihar, but the account of an eye witness will bring home to the people with all the greater effect the terrible distress which these disastrous floods have caused. In some places whole villages have been swept away and the crops over a large area destroyed. Thousand of villagers have been rendered destitute, most of them have nothing but the clothes in which they managed to escape somehow. They are living in temporary shelters exposed to all the inclemency of the weather, without proper food and clothes.
The government is no doubt doing all it can to relieve the immediate distress, but unless public funds are raised and people make liberal contributions it is not possible to rehabilitate the flood affected victims. When the floods subside, villages will have to be rebuilt and the villagers will have to be supplied with seed, fodder, cattle and farm implements before they can start work again.
SS-33-SHLHD. (English) 428
SECTION - B
I, therefore, humbly appeal to the people to help the government in the humanitarian task of relieving the distress of the poor sufferers by contributing generously to the Bihar Flood Relief Fund and thus earn the gratitude of their distressed fellow brethren.
It is humbly requested to the government to please look into the matter to save the poor villagers and help them as much as possible and relieve the poor people and their children. I also appeal to the General Public and NGOs also.
I remain,
Yours truly,
(Anand Kumar)
President,
Bihar Flood Relief Fund

Section-C
Protection of Silk Industries
Sir, I support this measure whole heartedly and I am especially glad to find that the silk industry which has received protection for the last 25 years is being given this concession further. Silk, as you know, is considered by many to be an article of luxury and they think it is not necessary for a person to wear silk. But we must not forget the fact that the silk industry in India is a cottage industry and it has to be encouraged in order to give employment to people in the countryside.
This industry at present, is confined to a few states only where silk can be produced. Valuable work is being done in this regard in the states of Karnataka, Assam and West Bengal. The state of Kashmir too has a very fine silk industry which could be developed to a great extent, but the misfortune is that the price of cocoon which the state has fixed is not such that it can give any encouragement to the cultivators to take to the cultivation of mulberry in preference to the cultivation of food grains and other cash crops.
When I was a member of the Central Silk Board, I had occasion to visit Kashmir to attend one of its meetings of the standing committee and I had a talk with the Director of Sericulture there, as also with the Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir and I along with members of the Board, tried to impress upon the Chief Minister that it was very essential for the development of the silk industry in Kashmir that the purchase rate of cocoon should be increased by the State, which was a monopolist in its purchase and he had agreed to look into the matter. I do not know whether any improvement in raising the price has been made during the last one and a half years or so or not.
Some of the finest varieties of silk can be produced in Kashmir. For example, silk of a quality which can be used for parachutes, could be made and during the
Explanation: This passage is a speech in support of continued protection for the silk industry in India. The speaker highlights that silk is a cottage industry providing rural employment, and is concentrated in states like Karnataka, Assam, West Bengal, and Kashmir. The main issue raised is the low fixed price of cocoons in Kashmir, which discourages farmers from cultivating mulberry. The speaker, as a former member of the Central Silk Board, tried to persuade the Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir to increase the purchase rate, but is unsure if any improvement has occurred. The passage also notes Kashmir's potential to produce high-quality silk, including for parachutes.

...last war a considerable quantity of silk was produced in the State for that purpose. Unfortunate now the Army is not getting the silk for that purpose from Kashmir to the extent that it needs. At that meeting, when I was in Kashmir, we had a talk with the people.
Sir, very valuable work is being done by the Central Silk Board, and the Board spares no effort to impress upon the various State Governments the desirability of increasing their sericulture industry. In fact, the amount which the Central Government has placed at the disposal of the Central Silk Board for the industry in the fifth five year plan is a very handsome amount of Rs. 50 crores and much can be done in that amount if only the states, which have that industry or the possibilities of it, could be persuaded to take greater interest in its expansion.
It has been even told that once a statute is passed by parliament and it is placed in the hand of the lawyers passed by parliament or a legislature.
Question (Based on the passage)
What was the purpose of producing silk in the State during the last war, and what is the current problem mentioned?
Answer: During the last war, silk was produced in the State to meet the requirements of the Army. The current problem is that the Army is not getting the required quantity of silk from Kashmir for that purpose.
Question
What role does the Central Silk Board play, and what amount has been allocated for the industry in the fifth five year plan?
Answer: The Central Silk Board does very valuable work and impresses upon various State Governments to increase their sericulture industry. The Central Government has placed a handsome amount of Rs. 50 crores at the disposal of the Central Silk Board for the industry in the fifth five year plan.
Question
What is the condition for achieving more with the allocated amount?
Answer: Much can be done with the allocated amount if the states, which have the sericulture industry or its possibilities, are persuaded to take greater interest in its expansion.
Question
What is mentioned about a statute passed by parliament?
Answer: It has been told that once a statute is passed by parliament, it is placed in the hands of lawyers passed by parliament or a legislature.
