    Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
    Vikram Sarabhai was the father of our space programme. He was the man who not only developed and launched rockets, but who passionately committed to using all aspects of science and technology in general and space applications in particular 'levers of development'. Sarabhai was much more than a highly talented scientist. He was a dreamer creator and innovator, not only in science and Technology, or in its organization and management, but also in a huge range of developmental institutions, ranging from the Space Science and Technology Center, Thiruvananthapuram, to the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, and the Nehru Foundation for Development. Vikram Sarabhai has often been typified as a dove on nuclear weapons and missiles. In the area of atomic energy, he mounted programmes for capability and capacity building all across the chain, from the mining of uranium ore at the Jaduguda mines in Bihar to the building of atomic power stations. He strove hard to make our atomic programme self-sufficient. He advocated a more decisive role for scientists in the promotion and application of science and technology to contribute to the attainment of socio-economic goals set by planners. Indeed, he called for and worked for scientists and technologists to be heavily involved in the policy and management aspects of science and technology-intensive areas of national endeavour, other than science and technology in a narrow sense.
