Q1. [4]
Organised Sector
Kanta works in the organised sector. Organised sector covers those enterprises or places of work where the terms of employment are regular and therefore, people have assured work. They are registered by the government and have to follow its rules and regulations which are given in various laws such as the Factories Act, Minimum Wages Act, Payment of Gratuity Act, Shops and Establishments Act, etc. It is called Organised Sector because it has some formal processes and procedures. Some of these people may not be employed by anyone but may work on their own, but they too have to register themselves with the government and follow the rules and regulations.
Read the given source and answer the questions that follow:
- 36.1 Mention any one feature of the working conditions of organised sector. [1]
- 36.2 Explain any one benefit provided by the employers to the organised sector employees. [1]
- 36.3 Why is it necessary for all self-employed people to register with the government? [2]

Model Answer
(36.1)
Workers in the organised sector have regular and assured work — their terms of employment are fixed and stable.
(36.2)
Employers in the organised sector must pay minimum wages as per the Minimum Wages Act, ensuring workers receive a legally guaranteed level of pay.
(36.3)
Self-employed people must register with the government so that they follow the rules and regulations laid down in various laws (such as the Factories Act, Shops and Establishments Act, etc.). Registration ensures accountability and formal processes are maintained. Without registration, they cannot be monitored, and workers' rights and legal protections cannot be enforced.

Explanation
- 36.1 is a direct lift from the passage — "terms of employment are regular" and "assured work" are the key phrases.
- 36.2 The passage lists several Acts; the Minimum Wages Act is the clearest example of an employer benefit. Gratuity (Payment of Gratuity Act) is equally acceptable.
- 36.3 The passage explicitly states self-employed workers "have to register themselves with the government and follow the rules and regulations." Expand this into a 2-mark answer by explaining why — accountability, legal compliance, and protection of formal processes. Don't go beyond what the passage says.
