Choose the most appropriate title for the passage.

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows.

India’s energy sector is in crisis. This crisis is due to collectivism. While India possesses the fifth largest coal reserves in the world, coal is only procured by a state-owned monopoly which continually fails to boost output. To make it worse, the coal is in turn used by publicly-run companies who produce the power and distribute it. Often, these companies are bankrupt and run at a significant deficit, which in turn is passed on to the urban consumer through higher tariffs. One other problem that also affects this is that coal suppliers are often sidelined with delays in getting environmental clearances to mine this resource.
At the same time, government grants free electricity to farmers and many politicians are reluctant to do away with these grants, which ultimately drains  the power companies and leave them in a state of mounting debt.
Another problem affecting the coal industry is that it is riddled with trade unionism and gangs who steal coal, including employees who collude to steal the fuel. This is while state power boards that operate the grid, usually lose about a third of all the power generated to theft and another third is lost to rural customers who pay subsidised prices or get their power for free.
The State Electric Boards that run India’s power system have become a laughing stock and are swathed in fiscal red ink. This is largely due to poor bill collection and the persistent practice of state politicians who offer free electricity to farmers. Because of this, most local distribution firms are effectively bankrupt. Primarily, this is due to politicians insisting that big chunks of the population, especially farmers, are to get free power. To top this off, there are many Indians who get away with simply stealing power.

Mangte Chungneijang Mary Kom was born on March 1, 1983. She is a five time World Amateur Boxing Champion and the only woman boxer to have won a medal in each of the six world championships for boxing. She is also called “Magnificent Mary”. This is largely due to her past performance in boxing, but also due to her being the only Indian woman boxer to have qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.
During the 2012 Summer Olympics, she competed in the flyweight (51 kg) category and won the bronze medal. She has been ranked number 4 in the AIBA World Women’s Ranking Flyweight category.

She has also started a female-only fight club in the city of Imphal to teach girls how to defend themselves against sexual assault and other types of violence. She has nominated Priyanka Chopra to serve as the brand ambassador to spread her academy all over the country.
Kom was born in Kangethei, in Churachandpur district of Manipur. Her parents worked the jhum fields in the area and are named Tonpa and Mangte Akham Kom. She was educated at Loktak Christian Model High School in Moraing where she completed her primary education. From there, she attended St. Xavier Catholic School in Moirang where she attended studies from class VI to class VIII standard. She then went on to attend Adimjati High School in Imphal for class IX and X. She was unable to pass her exam and as a result, she decided to quit school as she did not wish to reappear for the exams. Subsequently, she  gave her examination from NIOS, Imphal and graduated from Churanchandpur College.
Kom had a very keen interest in athletics since childhood. It was Dingko Singh who inspired her to become a boxer in 2000. She began training under M. Narjit Singh, Manipur State Boxing Coach at Khuman Lampak, Imphal.
She is married to K. Onler Kom and they have twin sons. They first met in 2001, when Kom was in New Delhi on her way to the National Games in Punjab. At the time, Onler was studying at Delhi University. After 4 years of dating, they married in 2005.

According to the passage, coal is procured by a

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows.

India’s energy sector is in crisis. This crisis is due to collectivism. While India possesses the fifth largest coal reserves in the world, coal is only procured by a state-owned monopoly which continually fails to boost output. To make it worse, the coal is in turn used by publicly-run companies who produce the power and distribute it. Often, these companies are bankrupt and run at a significant deficit, which in turn is passed on to the urban consumer through higher tariffs. One other problem that also affects this is that coal suppliers are often sidelined with delays in getting environmental clearances to mine this resource.
At the same time, government grants free electricity to farmers and many politicians are reluctant to do away with these grants, which ultimately drains  the power companies and leave them in a state of mounting debt.
Another problem affecting the coal industry is that it is riddled with trade unionism and gangs who steal coal, including employees who collude to steal the fuel. This is while state power boards that operate the grid, usually lose about a third of all the power generated to theft and another third is lost to rural customers who pay subsidised prices or get their power for free.
The State Electric Boards that run India’s power system have become a laughing stock and are swathed in fiscal red ink. This is largely due to poor bill collection and the persistent practice of state politicians who offer free electricity to farmers. Because of this, most local distribution firms are effectively bankrupt. Primarily, this is due to politicians insisting that big chunks of the population, especially farmers, are to get free power. To top this off, there are many Indians who get away with simply stealing power.
