Picture No. 2 written by Daleep Singh—“Abdul hailed
from a backward area who has seen about the difficulties of life in
the rural area. Abdul completed his graduation in B. Sc. forestry.
He saw that due to the growing fuel demands the people were
indulging in cutting of forests and harm to forest life. Abdul
became forest officer and was posted to his distt. Abdul took the
campaign to teach people the importance of forest and wild life to
man. Abdul with the help of the village head and his friends
arranged the lecture on importance of forests. People helped the
forest department in nabbing the culprits. Abdul approached the
Govt. to pardon the defaulters and arranged for their rehabilitation. People lived happily.”
Evaluation of the story written by Daleep Singh—Daleep Singh, the picture shown to you is
known as obvious. You can go beyond the obvious but cannot or should not ignore the obvious. When
you ignore the obvious the entire purpose of TAT is defeated. Here you have ignored the obvious.
Daleep; the requirement of TAT is; “you are required to write a story around the persons and
situations shown in the picture”. This story you have not written covering the persons and situations,
let me explain how ?
This is a hospital scene, bed No. 43 is written, a bed is being shown, a patient is lying on the bed
and around the bed a doctor and a nurse is standing. This picture requires a story of short term goal
related to operation, accident scene, kidney transplantation, any operation or treatment which requires
urgent treatment or operation. And Daleep you have imagined a situation or story related to forest scene
that is cutting of trees and nabbing the culprits. Therefore this story is not desirable. However this story
belongs to factor IIIrd that is leadership aspect.
Picture No. 3 written by the same candidate—“Deepak
hailed from a small village which had a large no of soldiers
serving in the Army. Deepak always dreamt of becoming an Army
Officer. Deepak completed his studies and joined the Army as an
officer. after commissioning Deepak was posted to one of the
forward areas in desert region. One day while on patrolling
Deepak saw some footprints leading towards the border. He
enquired from the local people who told him that there was a
group of smugglers who smuggle the drugs to nearby country.
Deepak alongwith his men mountained vulgars and one day
caught two people with drugs. He handed them over to the police and enquired about the reason from
the people to resort to such activities. He was told that it was poverty that compelled them. So, Deepak
arranged for funds of poor people and handed to them and the activity was permanently stopped.”
