Summary of the situationYou are appointed as the head of a department that looks after conserving trees in the area and preventing the illegal transport of logs. While traveling through the local bus you came across a discussion of the passengers talking about the previous officer's character, which seems to be neutral at the first glance, as he didn't take any action against the tree cutting, also never took any bribe, so it's your prime duty to create awareness in the local regarding the illegal tree cutting, this can be done with the help of the students from colleges and school nearby.

Answer Statement Conclusion Marks
Most Appropriate Conduct a survey related to the understanding of laws with the collaboration of schools and colleges in the area and conduct programs to make people aware of the importance of these laws Chossing this option will be most appropriate as in this without getting involved in the discussion with passengers and telling them that the previous officer was not right, and considering your responsibility, you should conduct a survey with the help of the students of schools and colleges and with help of program making people aware of all the laws, regarding the illegal tree cutting will be most expected. 2.5
Appropriate Participate in this conversation and know more about their understanding of laws related to cutting of trees and design your strategies of implementing concerned laws. This option can be given second priority as getting into the discussion with the passengers will help you in getting the knowledge about how much the locals are aware laws regarding the illegal tree cutting etc.. but compared to option 3 it must be given second priority. 1.5
Less considerable Participate in this conversation to find more about the popularity of your predecessor and plan your strategies of work for keeping people happy. choosing this will be less considerable as people must know that the previous officer was wrong but for that, again you should first consider option 3, and for this option, one should give less priority 1
 Inappropriate Participate in the conversation and convince people that though your predecessor is a good person he did not execute his duty properly Participating in the discussion and telling the people about their previous officer will not be good in this case. It's not your duty, your duty is to prevent illegal tree cutting and protect the trees, so this option is inappropriate 0

Public opinion may be passive and false or active and real. It is claimed in theory that all governments are ultimately based on the opinion or sanction of the governed. But we find that in practice the people's rights are often trodden down and tyranny and oppression are allowed to continue. The government does it not because the people want it to do so but because they are too idle, too uneducated and too disunited or timid to oppose the govern ment. Such public opinion is passive and false and not an active verdict. But when we find people alert, intelligent and determined to let the government know their will, when they want to exercise actively their voice in the management of their country, we have an instance of true or active public opinion. True public opinion is formed by and expressed through the press, the platform, political parties and educational institutions. These have sacred duties to perform, duties on which depends the ultimate good of the entire community. The press today wields a tremendous influence, So it should support the causes and move ments and condemn the wrong one's and thus teach people to form correct opinion. A free and fair press ventilates the grievances of the public. Thus a healthy relationship develops between the people and the government through out an unbiased press. Political parties also help to create and regulate opinions. No less important part is played by the educational Institutions which train the minds of the young people who will be the citizens of tomorrow. It has been said that modern Germany and China have been made by their universities. It is necessary that the young and the growing minds should imbibe the spirit of fellow-feeling, the spirit of tolerance, the habit of compromise, and show due regard for the feelings and opinion of others without which a democratic society cannot function, let alone succeed. When there is true awakening of the people, we shall have the real and conscious public opinion. And justice will reign on earth and truly will the voice of the people be the voice of God.
