UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

A gender perspective examines how environmental issues affect women,men and other gender groups differently and seeks to address inequalities. Using gender disaggregated indicators is a direct application of this perspective. The stem mentions such data use,so “gender” perspective is the correct term. Therefore Option A is appropriate.

Option A:
Gender analysis improves the effectiveness and fairness of environment projects by ensuring that benefits and burdens are not skewed. This aligns directly with the intention described in the question.

Option B:
A purely technical perspective may focus on engineering or biophysical aspects without considering social differences. It would miss the gender dimension identified in the stem.

Option C:
A market only perspective gives priority to prices and profits and may overlook equity concerns,including gender inequalities. Thus Option C does not match the question.

Option D:
Military perspectives relate to security strategy and defence,which are not the focus when integrating gender indicators into environmental planning,so Option D is incorrect.
