‘Coordination is a synchronisation of group efforts to achieve organisational objectives’. In the light of this statement, highlight any three features of coordination.

Answer»

Coordination is the process whereby an executive develops an orderly pattern of group efforts among his subordinates and ensures unity of action in the pursuit of common purpose.
Features/Nature of Coordination 
The features or nature of coordination are as follows:

It is the central task of the manager to reconcile differences in approach, timing, efforts or interests to harmonise individual goals with organisational goals. Coordination is the effort to ensure a smooth interplay of the functions and forces of all the different components of an organisation so that its purpose will be realised with minimum friction and maximum collaborative effectiveness

(ii) Coordination is needed at all levels Coordination is an essential function which is required at all levels of management. The content and scope of coordination will vary at different levels. However, it is a part of duty which should be performed by every managerial personnel right from operational level to the top management.
(iii) Coordination ensures unity of action The purpose of coordination is to unite the efforts of every individual in the realisation of common purpose.

His life is more important than the views of other people about his face and life.

The actual pain or inconvenience caused by a physical impairment is often much less than the sense of alienation felt by the person with disabilities. What kind of behaviour does that person expect from others? शारीरिक अक्षमता के कारण होने वाली वास्तविक पीड़ा या असुविधा प्रायः ऐसी अक्षमता से युक्त व्यक्ति द्वारा महसूस किये जाने वाले अलग-थलग कर दिये जाने के भाव से कहीं कम होती है। इस प्रकार का व्यक्ति दूसरों से कैसे व्यवहार की आशा करता है?

Answer»

It is true that physical impairment causes physical pain. The person suffering from it feels hurt. But what’s more painful is the behaviour of others. Some laugh at such persons while some others show too much sympathy. In both cases, the person feels offended. Derry is suffering from an inferiority complex because of people’s strange behaviour towards him. People show hatred to see his burnt face. He feels alienated from society. Such a person expects a normal behaviour. People should understand his problem and behave accordingly. They should never make him feel that he lacks something. That is what a physically impaired person expects from others. Each person needs normal behaviour from others to live in the mainstream of society.

यह सत्य है कि शारीरिक विकलांगता से कष्ट होता है। इससे पीड़ित व्यक्ति स्वयं को आहत अनुभव करता है। लेकिन जो इससे भी अधिक कष्टकर होता है, वह है दूसरे व्यक्तियों का व्यवहार। कुछ लोग ऐसे व्यक्तियों पर हँसते हैं जबकि कुछ अन्य आवश्यकता से अधिक सहानुभूति दिखाते हैं। दोनों ही मामलों में, ऐसा व्यक्ति आहत अनुभव करता है। डैरी अपने प्रति दूसरों के अजीब व्यवहार के कारण हीन भावना से पीड़ित है। लोग उसके जले हुऐ चेहरे को देखकर घृणा व्यक्त करते हैं। वह अपने आपको समाज से अलग-थलग महसूस करता। है। ऐसा व्यक्ति सामान्य व्यवहार की आशा करता है। लोगों को उसकी समस्या समझनी चाहिए और उसी के अनुसार व्यवहार करना चाहिए। उन्हें उसे कभी यह अनुभव नहीं कराना चाहिए कि उसमें कुछ कमी है। एक शारीरिक रूप से विकलांग व्यक्ति दूसरों से यही आशा करता है। समाज की मुख्यधारा में जीने के लिए प्रत्येक व्यक्ति को दूसरों से सामान्य व्यवहार की आवश्यकता होती है।

नदी के अपरदनात्मक कार्य से उत्पन्न दो स्थलाकृतियों की विवेचना कीजिए।

Answer»

नदी की युवावस्था मे अपरदन द्वारा उत्पन्न दो स्थलाकृतियाँ निम्नलिखित हैं

1. V’ आकार की घाटी-पर्वतीय क्षेत्र में नदी को निम्न कटाव अधिक सक्रिय होने के कारण वह अंग्रेजी के अक्षर V-आकार की घाटी का निर्माण करती है। कुछ नदियाँ लगातार अपनी घाटी के तल को गहरा करती जाती हैं। इस गहरी V-आकार की घाटी को कन्दरा (Gorge) कहते हैं। कन्दरा का निर्माण वहाँ होता है जहाँ कठोर शैलें पाई जाती हैं। कन्दरा का विस्तृत रूप कैनियन (Canyon) कहलाता है।

2. जल-प्रपात-पर्वतीय क्षेत्रों में नदी द्वारा निर्मित जल-प्रपात एक प्रमुख स्थलाकृति है। जब नदी ऊँची पर्वत-श्रेणियों से नीचे की ओर प्रवाहित होती है, तो धरातलीय ढाल की असमानता के कारण मार्ग में अनेक जल-प्रपात या झरने बनाती है, परन्तु यदि उच्च पर्वतीय क्षेत्रों में नदी के प्रवाह-मार्ग में कोमल एवं कठोर चट्टाने एक साथ आ जाएँ तो जल कोमल चट्टानों का आसानी से अपनदन कर देता है जबकि कठोर चट्टानों को अपरदन करने में वह सफल नहीं हो पाता। इस प्रकारे प्रवाहित जल अकस्मात ऊँचाई से नीचे की ओर गिरने लगता है जिसे जल प्रपात या झरना कहते हैं।
