\jn our Constituent Assembly this twenty-sixth day of November 1949, do hereby adopt, enact and give to Ourselves this Constitution.

Thus the spirit of the Constitution is embodied in the words, "We the people of India .... do hereby adopt enact and give -to ourselves this Constitution": It means that this supreme document of the land has been prepared by the people's representatives and therefore draws its authority from the people with whom the ultimate power rests.

Directions (Q. 166-170): Below is given a passage fol­lowed by several possible inferences which can be drawn from the facts stated in the passage. You have to examine each inference separately in context of the passage and de­cide upon its degree of truth or falsity. Mark answer

4) if the inference is "probably false" though not "definitely false" in the light of the facts given.

5) if the inference is "definitely false", ie it cannot possibly be drawn from the facts given or it contradicts the given facts. After the news of crop failure and farmer distress, this

might come as an anticlimax: Indian exports of wheat and rice are racing to top at the world table. There were no exports of these two staple foodgrains before the end of 2000. Since Nov 2000 exporters have lifted 8.2 million tonnes of wheat and 5.3 million tonnes of rice from the godowns Food Corporation of India's. In the past three months alone, exporters have deposited enough money with the FCI to take away 2.4 million tonnes of rice and 1.5 million tones of wheat, taking the cumulative export earning since end-2000 to Rs 66.5 billion. Ever since the Union food ministry announced a subsidy for Indian exporters last June, the country's world offer price has been enough to relentlessly win a market share from other nations-.- Between January 1 and August 31 last year, India exported 0.9 million tonnes of rice. This year, during the same period, the figure had jumped to 4.3 million tonnes, very close to Thailand's performance. Wheat isn't a bad story either. India is exporting 23 countries and rice to 33. The Union government has already removed all quantitative restrictions on the export of rice, wheat and wheat products, subject to Union pool stocks not going below 14.3 million tonnes for wheat and 10 million tonnes for rice.

Assume that you are in the year 2001.
