Read the passage given below and answer the question Nos. 89 to 94.
The UN places access to information technology as the third most important issue facing women globally, after poverty and violence against women. Gender disparity is already entrenched in many sectors with women in a disadvantaged position particularly in developing countries like India. A series of factors, including literacy and education, language, time, cost, geographical location of facilities, social and cultural norms, and women’s computer and information search and dissemination skills constrain women’s access to information technology. As a result, few women are producers of information technology, whether as internet content providers, programmers, designers, inventors, or fixers of computers. In addition, women are also
conspicuously absent from decision making structures in information technology in developing countries. From the gender perspective therefore, inclusive democratic participation and governance, entails issues of women empowerment and gender mainstreaming of public policies, including ICT Policies and Programmes. Many people dismiss the concern for gender and IT in developing countries on the basis that development should deal with basic needs first. However, IT can be an important tool in meeting women’s basic needs and can provide the access to resources to lead women out of poverty. While technology is not a panacea for women’s problems in developing countries yet it offers new possibilities for women in economic, social and political empowerment. In the context of knowledge society and information economy, it is essential that the knowledge – sharing mechanism, recognizes the value of knowledge possessed by women and includes their knowledge as valuable addition to the global knowledge pool. Because of their biological and social roles, women are likely to be more rooted than men in the environment and more aware than men of the social, economic and environmental needs of their own communities.

Read the passage given below and answer the question numbers 95 to 100 :
In the context of feminism, concepts like ’autonomy’, ‘freedom’ and ‘choice’ can be read only within the historical context of their utterance. It is important to recall that the language of selfreliance and non-alignment of a pre-liberalised era also, stemmed from a desire for freedom and dignity. Issues of class, caste, tribe, poverty and social justice formed an intrinsic part of feminist struggles in India, both in colonial and independent India. Autonomous women’s groups which emerged in the 1970s debated with women’s organizations of the left about the centrality of class in the latter’s formulation, a matter which tended in their view to obfuscate the specificity of the women’s question. Both groups have moved a long way since then. While left groups have played a visible role in the women’s movement, autonomous groups have increasingly taken up questions of economic deprivation and matters of class. The Dalit women’s movement in turn has expressed dissatisfaction with upper-caste women activists in both the left and the autonomous women’s movements. But the core concern with social justice and in-equality however defined, has remained constant. In contrast, the popular representation of feminism in the media reflects a retreat from questions of class, caste and social justice. Quite clearly, feminism is read here as a matter of the individual women’s right to choose. The woman concerned is either the corporate woman or the high -powered consumer. A deliberate break is saught to be made with the women’s movement, but the language used for the construction of her image is often appropriated from the women’s movement. One noticeable example is the way International Women’s day is marked in the media. If has been traditionally celebrated by women’s organizations and other political forces that aligned themselves with democratic and progressive forces. We now have a riot of ads with the specific day’s messages appearing on 8th March every year.
