Reading Comprehension passages are an integral part of the English section of government exams. However, for beginners, such passages can seem difficult. The Hindu Editorial is an excellent tool to improve the reading and understanding of passages. The language is very similar to the passages that generally appear in the English section of government exams, and each paragraph is filled with exam-relevant vocabulary and real-world topics. First, go through the vocabulary section and read the meanings of the words, their Hindi translations, synonyms, and antonyms. Then read the summary of the passage provided to you. Once you know the meanings of the words, read the passage carefully, and you will feel that it is much easier to understand the main idea and tone of the passage. This method not only improves the understanding of reading comprehension passages but also builds a strong vocabulary base for cloze tests and sentence fillers in the exam. Doing this every day will boost your confidence in the English section and help improve your scores in sections such as Reading Comprehension, Cloze Tests, and Sentence Fillers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing the frame<\/strong>: On India, forecasting and natural events<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India must use forecast <\/strong>to better prepare for calamities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

India received 8% more monsoon rain this year than normal. From a bird\u2019s eye view<\/strong>, this is bountiful<\/strong>. Official numbers suggest that the total area sown under kharif crops, until mid-September, increased by around 15 lakh hectares to about 1,110 lakh hectares. Rice cultivation has seen significant growth of over 8.45 lakh hectares to over 438 lakh hectares, compared to 430 lakh hectares during the same period last year. Pulses, coarse cereals and oilseeds have shown similar trends<\/strong>. In India\u2019s main reservoirs, the total available water capacity is, as of late September, 163 BCM (billion cubic metres) up from the 157.8 BCM last year. 1 BCM is trillion litres. However, torrential rains<\/strong>, particularly in August and September, saw several districts in Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab inundated <\/strong>\u2014 even cut off<\/strong> \u2014 after swollen rivers breached <\/strong>their flood marks<\/strong>. In Punjab, entire villages have been inundated, sinking farmland. While not a story unique <\/strong>to this year, there have been several landslides and flooding (urban and rural). Land erosion and siltation <\/strong>were widespread across the country leading to colossal <\/strong>damage.

Seasonal rainfall over northwest India, central India and the south peninsula were 27%, 15% and 10% more than their seasonal averages. In several instances, there were reports of \u2018cloudburst<\/strong>\u2019 \u2014 in meteorological terms, a very specific definition when State officials reported a deluge<\/strong>. Only in a single instance, in Tamil Nadu, did this actually bear out<\/strong>. While technical definitions might appear as a quibble<\/strong>, they influence <\/strong>the public perception <\/strong>of such events. A \u2018cloudburst\u2019 suggests something that is exceedingly rare <\/strong>and unforeseen<\/strong>, whose brunt <\/strong>must only be borne<\/strong>. On the other hand, even terms such as \u2018normal\u2019 rainfall \u2014 even though their visible impact can be, frequently, as damaging \u2014 also tend to convey fait accompli<\/strong>. A resignation <\/strong>to fate<\/strong>. Since April, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has consistently <\/strong>pointed to seasonal rainfall being \u201cabove normal\u201d or at least 4% more than the long period average of 87 cm as per its forecast. Whenever its figures bear out, it is framed <\/strong>as a victory of forecasting and less a failure of adequately <\/strong>preparing for calamity. While the establishment has forever been psychologically primed <\/strong>to treat a warning of drought as worth bracing <\/strong>for on a \u2018war footing<\/strong>\u2019, excess rains are seen as natural munificence<\/strong>. With developments in forecasting technology and the know-how<\/strong> to improve infrastructure, it is high time that this framing is modified. Failure to do so ought to be seen as an abdication <\/strong>of the government\u2019s responsibility to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
