memorising facts. Teachers, known as Gurus, were highly respected and played an important role
in shaping students’ character. Students lived with their Gurus and followed a simple and
disciplined life. Education aimed at both intellectual and moral development. Great importance

Case Study:
A librarian is organizing books in a school library to promote quality education (SDG 4).
To make books easily accessible, she plans to arrange them category-wise on a shelf that is
120 cm long. She wants to divide the shelf into three equal sections using geometrical
construction so that each category gets equal space. Later, to further improve organization,
she decides to subdivide each section equally. Choose the correct answer:
(i) Which mathematical concept is being applied by the librarian to support SDG 4
(Quality Education)? (a) Measurement and division of a line segment (b) Area and
perimeter (c) Data handling (d) Probability
[1]
(ii) How can the librarian divide the 120 cm shelf into three equal sections accurately? (a)
By randomly marking points on the shelf (b) By measuring 40 cm from one end for each
section (c) By bisecting the shelf only once (d) By estimating equal lengths by eye
[1]
(iii) Which geometrical tools should the librarian use to ensure precise and fair division of
the shelf? (a) Protractor only (b) Calculator (c) Compass and ruler (d) Measuring tape only
[1]
(iv) If each of the three sections is further divided into two equal parts to arrange books
more efficiently, how many equal parts will the shelf have in total? (a) 3 (b) 4 (c) 6 (d) 12

SECTION-A (READING)

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
[10X1=10]
For millions of people in India, river Ganga is the most sacred river. It is considered as mother
and goddess. It is also a lifeline to millions of Indians who live on the banks of its course and
depend on it for their daily needs. River Ganga is the third largest river in the world by the
amount of water that flows through it. It is the longest river in India. The river water of Ganga is
used for irrigation, transportation and fishing. The Gangetic plain formed by river Ganga is one
of the most fertile lands on earth. This is why almost 10% of the world population lives here and
earns its livelihood. The Ganga, in India is the most worshipped body of water. The irony here is
that in spite of being the most worshipped river, it is also the dirtiest one. It carries metals thrown
out by tanneries, waste produced by industries and urban waste from different cities. All this has
made river Ganga the fifth most polluted river in the world. Another major reason that adds to
the Ganga river pollution is the coal based power plants on its banks which burn tons of coal
every year and produce a lot of fly ash. This ash mixed with domestic waste water is released
into the river. This bad situation calls for an urgent need to make efforts to reduce pollution and
revive river Ganga. To achieve these. objectives, the Government of India has started a
programme named "Namami Ganga Programme". The main pillars of this programme are
sewage treatment, river surface cleaning, afforestation, river front development and public
awareness. The importance of the success of ‘Namami Ganga Programme’ can be seen through
the following lines: “If Ganga dies, India dies. If Ganga thrives, India thrives. No Ganga, No
India.”

UNITING EFFORTS FOR GLOBAL PROGRESS
In today’s interconnected world, challenges such as environmental damage, lack of education,
and health crises affect people across borders. These issues cannot be solved by one nation acting
on its own. SDG 17 focuses on strengthening cooperation among countries, institutions, and
communities to bring positive change worldwide.
Working together allows nations to combine their strengths. While some countries may offer
financial support or advanced research, others provide local knowledge and practical solutions.
When these strengths come together, the impact becomes stronger and more lasting. Such
cooperation ensures that solutions are inclusive and effective.

33
Educational institutions and young learners also contribute to these efforts. By participating in
collaborative learning, social initiatives, and volunteering programmes, students develop
leadership skills and a sense of shared responsibility. These experiences help them understand
the importance of unity in solving real-world problems.
Successful cooperation depends on openness, mutual respect, and honesty. When partners
communicate clearly and value each other’s contributions, misunderstandings reduce and goals
are achieved more efficiently. SDG 17 encourages such partnerships to ensure progress that
benefits everyone and leads to a sustainable and peaceful future.
