   Model answer · impact of globalization on Bihar

   1. 1.Foreign investors have shown a great interest in investing in Bihar because of the rapid development. The markets of Bihar have now been flooded with various international products, and various higher education and industrial companies are eager to establish themselves in Bihar, increasing competition for local industries.1 mark
   2. 2.Due to globalisation, there has been increase in employment opportunities. There has been a great change due to the new techniques of information and communication technology. Highly educated and skilled labourers of Bihar are getting better opportunities of employment outside the country, and many software engineers of Bihar are working in foreign countries, especially in USA and England.1 mark
   3. 3.Due to globalisation, there has been a rapid increase in exports. Export of raw materials, products of small scale industries, fruits are some of the major areas where Bihar has shown a rapid development. Fruits like Litchi, Mango and Makhana are some of the famous products which are exported today, giving Bihar's agro-based products access to the global market.1 mark
   4. 4.Agriculture and small-scale industries were adversely affected by cheap imported goods. Bihar is an agricultural state, but investment on agriculture is not satisfactory, and the products of cottage and small scale industries do not reach the market because of competition from international companies available at a cheap rate, for example, Chinese toys have sidelined the toys manufactured by cottage and small scale industries. On the other hand, due to globalisation, world-class consumer goods like mobile phones, shoes, garments, food products, cars and various electronic goods are easily available in the market, improving the standard of living.1 mark

   • Write 'information and communication technology' together with 'employment opportunities' for point 2.
   • Use either 'export' with 'global market' or 'migration', and give an example like Litchi, Mango or Makhana for point 3.
   • For point 4, name both a negative effect (cottage and small scale industries hurt by cheap goods) and a positive effect (consumer goods improving standard of living), without repeating the competition idea from point 1.

   Model answer · effect of globalisation on Bihar economy

   1. 1.Globalisation has led to the arrival of foreign investment and new technology in Bihar. Foreign investors have shown a great interest in investing in Bihar because of the rapid development taking place there. Due to this, Bihar has got the availability of foreign direct investment along with new technology brought in by outside investors. Though the shortfall in the production of electricity has made investors a little hesitant, this situation is expected to improve in the coming days, which will further increase the inflow of foreign investment and technology into the state.1 mark
   2. 2.Local industries in Bihar have gained opportunities to reach the global market because of globalisation. There has been a rapid increase in exports due to globalisation, as export of raw materials, products of small scale industries, and fruits are some of the major areas where Bihar has shown rapid development.

   4. 4.Globalisation has increased the availability of consumer goods in Bihar and improved the standard of living of its people.

   Model answer · negative effects of globalization, Bihar

   1. 1.Globalisation has led to an increase in unemployment due to the closure of cottage and small-scale industries. Due to the international companies and their products flooding the local market, many small scale and cottage industries have shut down. Due to this, unemployment has increased, as people are not ready to pay to unskilled workers on a permanent basis because of the stiff competition in the market.1 mark
   2. 2.The dominance of multinational corporations has increased the exploitation of local producers and workers. Due to the multi-national companies and their goods and attractive products, the local companies are facing a stiff competition, and it is truly said that as big fishes in the water eat up all the small fishes, in the same manner, the multi-national companies are endangering the very existence of small scale and cottage industries.1 mark

   • Write 'unemployment' and name that cottage and small-scale industries closed because of international companies flooding the market.
   • Write that multi-national companies caused stiff competition, using the 'big fishes eat up small fishes' line to show exploitation of local producers and workers.
   • Keep each negative effect in its own paragraph, do not mix the two points together.
