अपठित हिन्दी गद्यांश का विवेचन एवं विश्लेषण
भारत में हरित क्रांति का मुख्य उद्देश्य देश को खाद्यान्न मामले में आत्मनिर्भर बनाना था, लेकिन इस बात की आशंका किसी को नहीं थी कि रासायनिक उर्वरकों और कीटनाशकों का अंधाधुंध इस्तेमाल न सिर्फ खेतों में, बल्कि खेतों से बाहर मंडियों तक में होने लगेगा। विशेषज्ञों के मुताबिक रासायनिक उर्वरकों और कीटनाशकों का प्रयोग खाद्यान्न की गुणवत्ता के लिए सही नहीं है, लेकिन जिस रफ़्तार से देश की आबादी बढ़ रही है, उसके मद्देनज़र फ़सलों की अधिक पैदावार ज़रूरी थी। समस्या सिर्फ रासायनिक खादों के प्रयोग की ही नहीं है। देश के ज़्यादातर किसान परंपरागत कृषि से दूर होते जा रहे हैं।
दो दशक पहले तक हर किसान के यहाँ गाय, बैल और भैंस खूटों से बँधे मिलते थे। अब इन मवेशियों की जगह ट्रैक्टर-ट्राली ने ले ली है। परिणामस्वरूप गोबर और घूरे की राख से बनी कंपोस्ट खाद खेतों में गिरनी बंद हो गई। पहले चैत-बैसाख में गेहूँ की फ़सल कटने के बाद किसान अपने खेतों में गोबर, राख और पत्तों से बनी जैविक खाद डालते थे। इससे न सिर्फ खेतों की उर्वरा-शक्ति बरकरार रहती थी, बल्कि इससे किसानों को आर्थिक लाभ के अलावा बेहतर गुणवत्ता वाली फसल मिलती थी

चंपारण सत्याग्रह के बीच जो लोग गांधी जी के संपर्क में आए वे आगे चलकर देश के निर्माताओं में गिने गए। चंपारण में गांधी जी न सिर्फ सत्य और अहिंसा का सार्वजनिक हितों में प्रयोग कर रहे थे बल्कि हलुवा बनाने से लेकर सिल पर मसाला पीसने और चक्की चलाकर गेहूँ का आटा बनाने की कला भी उन बड़े वकीलों को सिखा रहे थे, जिन्हें गरीबों की अगुवाई की जिम्मेदारी सौंपी जानी थी। अपने इन आध्यात्मिक प्रयोगों के माध्यम से वे देश की गरीब जनता की सेवा करने और उनकी तकदीर बदलने के साथ देश को आजाद कराने के लिए समर्पित व्यक्तियों की एक ऐसी जमात तैयार करना चाह रहे थे जो सत्याग्रह की भट्ठी में उसी तरह तपकर निखरे, जिस तरह भट्ठी में सोना तपकर निखरता और कीमती बनता है।
गांधी जी की मान्यता थी कि एक प्रतिष्ठित वकील और हज़ामत बनाने वाले हज़्ज़ाम में पेशे के लिहाज़ से कोई फ़र्क नहीं, दोनों की हैसियत एक ही हैं। उन्होंने पसीने की कमाई को सबसे अच्छी कमाई माना और शारीरिक श्रम को अहमियत देते हुए उसे उचित प्रतिष्ठा व सम्मान दिया था। कोई काम बड़ा नहीं, कोई काम छोटा नहीं, इस मान्यता को उन्होंने प्राथमिकता दी ताकि साधन शुद्धता की बुनियाद पर एक ठीक समाज खड़ा हो सके। आज़ाद हिंदुस्तान आत्मनिर्भर, स्वावलंबी और आत्म-सम्मानित देश के रूप में विश्व-बिरादरी के बीच अपनी एक खास पहचान बनाए और फिर उसे बरकरार भी रखे।

(c) सांस्कृतिक योगदान।
(d) सामाजिक मान्यता।
प्रश्न 3 : गांधी जी लोगों को शारीरिक श्रम का महत्त्व किस तरह समझा रहे थे?
(a) शारीरिक श्रम को केवल दैवीय कार्य मानते हुए।
(b) श्रम के प्रति उपेक्षा दर्शाते हुए।
(c) खुद भी श्रम में भाग लेकर और अन्य को सिखाकर।
(d) केवल उच्च पेशेवरों को श्रम के महत्व के बारे में बताकर।
प्रश्न 4: शारीरिक श्रम को महत्त्व देने और हर काम को समान समझने के पीछे गांधी जी की दूरदर्शिता क्या थी?
(a) एक समाज में श्रमिकों के महत्व को कम करना।
(b) एक ऐसा समाज बनाना जिसमें हर व्यक्ति को उसकी मेहनत का उचित सम्मान मिले।
(c) उच्च पेशेवरों को समाज में प्रमुख बनाना।
(d) केवल आर्थिक समृद्धि को बढ़ावा देना।
प्रश्न 5: चंपारण सत्याग्रह के दौरान गांधी जी के आध्यात्मिक प्रयोगों का मुख्य उद्देश्य क्या था?
(a) गरीबों को धार्मिक शिक्षा देना।
(b) बड़े वकीलों को पिशोरी और खाना बनाना सिखाना।
