Statement : The Committee has criticized the Institute for its failure to implement a dozen of regular programmes despite an increase in the staff strength and not drawing up a firm action plan for studies and research. Courses of Action : I. The broad objectives of the Institute should be redefined to implement a practical action plan. II. The Institute should give a report on reasons for not having implemented the planned programmes.

The correct answer is: Both I and II follow.

The statement says that the Institute has failed to implement a dozen of regular programs despite an increase in the staff strength and not drawing up a firm action plan for studies and research. This suggests that the Institute’s current broad objectives may not be realistic or achievable, and that it may need to redefine them in order to implement a practical action plan. Additionally, the Institute should give a report on reasons for not having implemented the planned programs. This would help to identify any problems that the Institute is facing and to develop solutions to address them.

Option I: The broad objectives of the Institute should be redefined to implement a practical action plan.

This option is correct because the statement suggests that the Institute’s current broad objectives may not be realistic or achievable. If the Institute redefines its objectives, it will be in a better position to develop a practical action plan that can be implemented.

Option II: The Institute should give a report on reasons for not having implemented the planned programs.

This option is also correct because the statement says that the Institute has failed to implement a dozen of regular programs. If the Institute gives a report on the reasons for this failure, it will be able to identify any problems that it is facing and to develop solutions to address them.

Therefore, both options I and II follow.
