CHAPTER 7-MONEY AND BANKING 1.3 Key Concepts i. In a barter system, goods are directly exchanged with each other without the use of money. ii. In exchange of some goods, problems have been raised in barter system. Hence, the barter system was gradually replaced by metal coins. iii. Overtime, people preferred scarce and attractive metals as a medium of exchange. Copper, bronze, silver and gold are durable, can be divided into parts and be carried around. iv. Minting coins of standard size, weight and purity from the royal mint was started under supervision of the kings. v. In the Roman period “Besant” a gold coin was the standard currency and in the Mauryan period “pana” a silver coin was the standard currency vi. The early bankers in India such as Jagatseths of Bengal, Shahs of Patna, Arunji Nathji of Surat, Chettiars of Madras enjoyed such wealth and reputation that their receipts — paper money called hundis were accepted throughout the country and outside as well. vii. In 1606, Amsterdam was a major trading centre in Europe. Here, there were 846 silver and gold coins recognised by the government that could be accepted for exchange. SESSION 1. MONEY 99

Repaying loans EMIs, Systematic Investments Plans (SIP) to invest sum into mutual fund through online payments, iv. Booking travel tickets online for train or bus by cash payment. Q2. In what ways have cheques made exchange of money more convenient? [Refer to TB page 88 Q3] A. 1) Cheques are issued to account holders by banks. 2) Account holders use these cheques for their own needs or to make payments to others through cheques. 3) By using these cheques account holders can make payments of different types without cash. 4) They can organize their financial activities without any difficulty by using cheques. 5) They do not have to go to the bank and withdraw cash to make payment whenever it is necessary; just issue cheque to pay the amount to any individual or any firm. Q3. Only a part of the total deposits is kept as cash in the bank–safe. Why is this so and how does this benefit the bank? [Refer to TB page 88 Q4] A. A bank is a business enterprise. It has to pay interest to its depositors, pay salary to its employees, has to buy and maintain equipment, pay rent and bear all the cost of running a bank and also make profit. So to get revenue, banks give loans to people. People will pay back these loans with interest. The interest earned on loans given to the bank is the source of revenue. So only a part of total deposits is kept as cash in the bank safe and remaining should be lent to the people or government or others to earn revenue. Q4. If a very large number of account–holders do not wish to keep their money in the bank, how will it affect the bank’s working? [Refer to TB page 89 Q5] A. If a very large number of account holders wish to withdraw their money from the bank, money reserves in the bank are reduced. And there may be a shortage of money to give all account holders, who demand to withdraw their money. So the bank may not be able to pay all the account holders at a time. Hence, the account holder, who doesn’t get their deposits back, will start agitations in front of banks. The bank should take short term loans from other banks and must pay their deposits back at any cost to prevent those situations. SESSION 2. BANKING 101

CHAPTER 7-MONEY AND BANKING Reflection on Contemporary Issues and Questioning Q1. Can there be any difficulties or disadvantages in keeping money in a bank? Think and write. [Refer to TB page 88 Q2] A. 1) Keeping our savings in a bank is a good activity. 2) There is no difficulty or disadvantages in such activity. 3) Safety and security is given for our money in a bank and also we are also paid some interest on our savings Q2. Changes in technology lead to changes in job opportunities. Do you agree with the statement? Why? [Refer to TB page 100 Q4] A. Technology is the practical application of knowledge in our day to day life. We use technology at every point; it could be at home or a factory or anywhere else. The technological development led to industrial revolution. Due to this lot of job opportunities created. Establishment of factories, Companies, brought job opportunities to many people. Educated people got high salaried jobs compared to others. Even if one person doesn’t get job in one sector they could try in another. Many companies came forward to establish software, hardware based set–ups. Mobile, computers, Robots designing and production are examples for this. These changes in technology not only brought jobs domestically but also job opportunities were found in multinational companies. However, there are some losses too. Introducing Robots in industries cause decrease of opportunities to human beings. Introduction of machineries like combined harvester in agriculture have cost the jobs in rural areas. 2.4 Key Concepts i. In the present system all banks and most of their branches are linked by computers. All deposit holder accounts and their signatures can be accessed by the branches anywhere. ii. In most banks human and manual teller counters are being replaced by the Automated Teller Machine (ATM). iii˙ Banking activity is being done with computers with internet and other electronic means of communication which is called as electronic banking or internet banking. iv. In just a few clicks, one can access their account and transfer funds, pay bills etc. People with hectic schedule prefer internet banking. v. A fixed deposit or a term deposit cannot be withdrawn from the bank for a fixed period of time. SESSION 2. BANKING 102

SESSION 3 MONEY AND BANKING – LOANS 3.1 Mind Map 3.2 Terminology 1. Loan: In finance, a loan is a debt evidenced by a note which specifies, among other things, the principle amount, interest rate and date of repayment. 2. Interest: Interest is a fee paid by a borrower of assets to the owner as a form of compensation for the use of the assets. 3. Cheque: A cheque is a document that orders a payment of money from a bank account. SESSION 3. LOANS 103

CHAPTER 7-MONEY AND BANKING 3.3 Improve Your Learning Conceptual Understanding Q1. People have to pay a higher interest on loan than the interest they receive on a fixed deposit for the same time–period. Why do you think this is so? [Refer to TB page 89 Q7] A. 1) Usually the rate of interest paid by the banks to their fixed deposits is less than the rate of interest received by the banks from the borrowers for the different types of loans. 2) So, people have to pay a higher interest on a loan than the interest they received on a fixed deposit for the same time-period. 3) The banks should reach number of expenses such as pay salary to its employees, has to buy and maintain equipment, pay rent and bear all the cost of running a bank and also make profit. 4) Suppose the rates of interest on loans are not more than the rates of interest on all deposits in the banks, banks definitely get losses and they may be locked out. Q2. If many loans are written off (that is, borrowers are not required to pay back the money) how will this affect the working of the bank? [Refer to TB page 89 Q6] A. Nowadays governments writes off agricultural loans given by the nationalized banks, rural banks and co–operative banks. This means the farmers who borrow the money from the above banks for agricultural purposes are not required to repay the loan amount. This will affect the working of the bank in a negative way. Because of this, banks may fall into losses. If the total loan amount which was written off by the Government is given to the banks it will benefit to banks, otherwise it affects the bank’s working. Reading the Text, Understanding and Interpretation Q1. Read the paragraphs under the header ‘Types of Loans’ and answer the following: What sort of loans are more in your area? [Refer to TB page 89 Q8] A. The following loans are more in our area. They are 1. Home loans 2. Vehicle loans 3. Agricultural loans 4. Gold loans 5. Personal loans 6. Business loans 7. Industrial loans 8. Educational loans 9. Loans for SHGs 10. Marriage loans 11. Loans against property 12 ˙ Mortgage loans SESSION 3. LOANS 104

CHAPTER 7-MONEY AND BANKING Reflection on Contemporary Issues and Questioning Q1. Suppose this year the rains are poor and the crop yield is only half as much as was originally expected. Some people say that if this happens the farmers should be asked to pay back only half the amount they have taken as loans. However other people say that full amount should be repaid, keeping in view the next year’s crop. In your opinion what should the bank do and why? [Refer to TB page 89 Q8] A. 1) If in a year rains are poor, that year is called drought year. 2) In a drought year the crop yield is less than what was originally expected. 3) Some parts of country suffers more and yield of agriculture crops is very less, so the farmers cannot repay the loan amount. 4) So, in this situation, the total loan amount should be written off by the government. 5) In case of partially drought stricken areas, it is better to write off at least half of the total loan amount. 6) It encourages farmers to cultivate the next year. Appreciation and Sensitivity Q1. Do you feel that the loans taken from SHGs are helpful to the members? How? [Refer to TB page 89 Q10] A. 1) The members in SHGs get loans from banks on very low rate of interest through the SHG’s loans. 2) These loans are very helpful to them. 3) The women, who are members in SHGs utilize these loan amounts to establish productive activities such as running cottage industries, involving in government bidding and sanctioning some contract works, running retail shops and so on. By doing these activities poor women try to come out from poverty. 4) And also these SHG loans are particularly helping in the empowerment of women to overcome in the rural areas. 3.4 Key Concepts i. Banks give loans to people. People will pay back these loans with interest. Banks also give loans to government and earn some interest. ii. Different people can obtain loans for different requirements under some rules and conditions of the bank. SESSION 3. LOANS 105

CHAPTER 8-IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON LIVELIHOODS 1.2 Terminology 1. Technology: The word technology refers to the making, modification, usage and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems and methods of organization in order to solve a problem, improve a pre–existing solution to problem, achieve a goal, handle an applied input/output relation to perform a specific function. 2. Invention: The action of inventing something, typically a process or device . It may be an improvement upon a machine or product or a new process for creating an object/ a result. 3. Irrigation facilities: Irrigation is an artificial application of water to the land or soil. It is used to assist in the growing of agricultural crops, maintenance of landscapes and revegetation of distributed soils in dry areas and during periods of inadequate rainfall. 1.3 Improve Your Learning Conceptual Understanding Q1. Narahari created the following list of activities where technology is not used. Do you agree with him? If not prove him wrong. a) While singing a song b) While cooking idli c) While performing drama on the stage d) While making garland for sale [Refer to TB page 100 Q1] A. While singing a song, I think there is no technology involved. But in cooking idli there is an old steam technology involved. In this technology steam is used to cook idli. While performing drama on the stage there is no involvement of technology, though light and sound system are needed. In making garland also no technology is used. Information Skills Q1. Mallaiah is a farmer in Sripuram village. There are about 100 houses in the village. Today all the work like planting, weeding, harvesting, spraying pesticides and fertilizers is done by machines. In olden days it was all done manually. There are more than 33 tractors and about 15 harvesters available in his village. A few of them are given on hire. The owners of the tractors charge 300 per hour for tilling the fields. More and more farmers are now using these machines in their fields. Based on this information create a wall paper with illustrations and possible discussions between different groups of people in the village. (T.B.100) A. i) Farmer: I need a tractor for rent by tomorrow. Tractor owner: Why? Farmer: To plough my field. Tractor owner: How many acres of land do you have? Farmer: 10 Acres of land. Tractor owner: Rent is 400/- rupees per hour, do you agree? Farmer: I can’t pay 400/- rupees, I can only pay 300/- per hour. Tractor owner: O.K. Farmer: Can you send your tractor early morning tomorrow? SESSION 1. TECHNOLOGY AND AGRICULTURE 115

CHAPTER 8-IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON LIVELIHOODS Tractor owner: If you want it right now, you may take my tractor, but pay Rs. 2000/- as advance. Farmer: O.K. I will pay it right now. ii) Farmer: I need a Harvester in this week only for one day. Harvester owner: On which day do you want it, just clarify, because out of my 5 harvesters, 3 have gone to work for one week. Farmer: I need it on Wednesday. Harvester owner: The rent for harvester is Rs.1500/- per hour. Do you agree? Farmer: Is there any possibility of reduction in rent amount? Harvester owner : Only this time, there is demand for our Harvesters. Okay, give Rs. 1400/ - per hour. 1.4 Key Concepts i. Henry Ford of USA started the assembly line method of production to produce more cars quickly. ii. Technology is not always welcomed. People are afraid that they would lose their jobs due to the machines. iii. After independence the government began building dams and providing irrigation facilities by encouraging the use of tube wells, Pump sets, run on electricity or diesel, were used to draw water. iv. Use of modern technology in agriculture helped farmers to produce more food grains and other goods. Farmers are able to get more yields in the same area they cultivated. v. Use of Combined Harvest helps in timely harvest of paddy. It takes less time, reduces the crop loss and helps farmers to tackle the peak time labour shortage. vi. Extensive farm mechanization is leading to displacement of labourers. Agricultural labourers and farmers working on others fields lose out to machines used in the farm. SESSION 1. TECHNOLOGY AND AGRICULTURE 116

SESSION 2 IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON LIVELIHOODS – TECHNOLOGY AND INDUSTRY: 2.1 Mind Map 2.2 Terminology 1. Fertilisers and Pesticides: Fertilisers are the chemical nutrients which enhance the yield of the crop in agriculture sectors. Pesticides means a pest control product by using chemical formulae. 2 . Agricultural operations: All the activities from ploughing the fields to the harvest the crop are called agriculture activities. 2.3 Improve Your Learning Conceptual Understanding Q1. Describe how the situation of labour has changed in power looms and mills. Do you think this change is beneficial to the labourers or to the owner? Give reasons for your answer. [Refer to TB page 100 Q2] A. 1) The British introduced power loom production in India. 2) When the mills started making clothes, the demand for the handloom weavers cloth dropped. 3) Handloom workers faced problems due to reduced demand for handloom made cloth. 4) In 1940s there were only 40,000 power looms. Now nearly 5 lakh power loom units run with 23 lakh looms in India. 5) There are certain problems to the workers in power looms. 6) Compared to mills, power looms pay a very low salary; workers in power looms are paid on piece rate basis. SESSION 2. TECHNOLOGY AND INDUSTRY: 117

CHAPTER 8-IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON LIVELIHOODS 7) There is no obligation for power loom units to provide healthcare, pension or other social security provi- sions. If there is any power-cut, power loom workers were not given salaries. 8) One study of a power loom cluster reported in 2008 : ‘Food insecurity, malnutrition, anemia and other health related problems such as tuberculosis, asthma and gynecological illnesses among women, home- less and high dropout rate among children are some of the common challenges confronting power loom workers.The situation of the labourers working in the power looms has changed. This has not benefited labourers, perhaps it benefits the owners. Q2. What are the advantages of using CHs ? Who benefit most? Why do farmers use CH? [Refer to TB page 100 Q3] A. 1) Combined Harvester (CH) is one of the important machines used for paddy harvest, threshing and winnowing. 2) Use of Combined Harvester helps in timely harvest of paddy. 3) It takes less time, reduces the crop loss and helps farmers to tackle the peak time labour shortage. 4) It also saves from vagaries of weather in coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. 5) Further, the farmers are able to sow the second crop without much delay. 6) Their dependency on labourers is also reduced. 7) The farmers or cultivators benefit more of Combined Harvester. 8) Because of so many benefits to farmers by using Combined Harvester, they would like to use this machine instead of using labour. Appreciation and Sensitivity Q1. The people who live in forest and adjacent to forest cannot afford to use latest technology. What measures do you suggest for improving their lives? [Refer to TB page 100 Q9] A. The people who live in forests and adjacent to forest are called tribals. Tribals in India are not able to use modern technology because of illiteracy and innocence. There are superstitions, unawareness, illiteracy among the tribals. To make tribals come out of this situation, the following measures should be followed: i) Schools should be established in tribal areas. ii) The modern technology should be gradually introduced among the tribals. iii) Advanced education and medical facilities should be provided to all the tribals. iv) Make the tribals participate in all developmental activities. v) New employment opportunities should be created for the tribals. vi) Government should make sure that all welfare programmes reach the tribals. vii) Make tribals come out of ancient customs and traditions, which have thrown them in backwardness. 2.4 Key Concepts i. The British introduced power loom production in India. When the mills started making cloth, the demand for the handloom weaver’s cloth dropped. ii. In 1940’s there were only 40,000 power looms. Now nearly 5 lakh power loom units run with 23 lakh looms in India. iii. There is no obligation for power loom units to provide health care, pension or other social security provi- sions.

CHAPTER 8-IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON LIVELIHOODS Reflection on Contemporary Issues and Questioning Q1. Prabhavathi feels it is true that telephone technology has changed. She feels that new jobs are available to only educated persons. She also says that many people in India are not literate and hence modern technology is always based to the educated. Do you agree with her? Give your reasons. [Refer to TB page 100 Q5] A. I totally agree with Prabhavathi on her statement. Everyday, the telephone technology is being updated. Land line phones were replaced by mobile phones. In mobile phones also, there are a number of value added services being introduced such as text and voice messaging, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) online gaming, Data access service, mobile internet, video call service voice, mail etc. As said by Prabhavathi, there are more number of illiterates in our country. These people are unable to use advanced technology. Educated people are able to use and work in jobs, which are related to new scientific technology. That’s why all the jobs related to modern technology are provided to only literate youth. But with minimum knowledge even unskilled labourers are using technology like cell phone, able to operate CH. Combined Harvester, brought modern machinery in agricultural fields. Mapping Skills Q1. Locate the following in the world map: A) England B) USA C) India.

Priyamvada runs a private hospital. This has more facilities than that are available in a Government hospital. Satyanarayana works as a Government doctor in a mandal. Can you write an imaginary dialogue between them about access to health services? [Refer to TB page 110 Q5] A. Priyamvada : We are providing quality medical facilities to the people. There are advanced medical equipments also available. We are giving fast treatment to the patients. Dr. Satyanarayana : The expenditure on treatment in private hospitals is very expensive. In our Govern- ment hospitals all the health facilities are provided without any cost. Priyamvada : If there are free services in government hospitals, the services are not up to the mark. The staff does not respond quickly in giving treatment. Patients may suffer a lot. Dr. Satyanarayana : Because of lack of funds, advanced medical facilities are not provided in Government hospitals. There is no supervision on the work of the medical staff, So that the staff have little bit of negligence in their duty . But, even today we discharge our medical services for more number of poor people, who cannot afford money for their health care. In private hospitals, situation is different. They provide advanced facilities and quick treatment for the patients. But they charge huge money for their services, which couldn’t be paid by all people. Priyamvada : We invest lakhs of rupees to build hospitals and provide advanced medical facilities. We bring money for investment from the banks as loans. We have to repay loan amount in EMIs and also we have to pay taxes, utility bills, salaries for the doctors and other medical staff. To reach all these expenditure we have to charge huge amounts of money for every service in our hospitals. Dr. Satyanarayana : You are right madam. Both Private and Government hospitals have their limitations in providing their medical services to the people. We have to work under these circumstances. We have to overcome all these limitations to provide good services at reasonable cost for all people in the country. Priyamvada : You are also right Dr. Satyanarayana Sir. I totally agree with you. 1.4 Key Concepts i.
