Model Answer
13.1 (A): The place marked 'A' is Calcutta (Kolkata) — where the Indian National Congress Session was held in September 1920.
13.2 I: Ramagundam Thermal Power Plant — located in Telangana (Peddapalli district). To be marked with a dot and labelled on the map in south-central India.
13.2 II: Chennai (Meenambakam) International Airport — located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on the southeastern coast of India. To be marked with an airport symbol and labelled on the map.
Explanation
- 13.1: The September 1920 INC Special Session was held in Calcutta (now Kolkata), where the Non-Cooperation Movement was formally launched by Gandhi. The point 'A' in the eastern part of the map confirms this.
- 13.2 I: Ramagundam is a major thermal power station in Telangana. In map questions, locate it in the south-central Deccan region and write the name clearly.
- 13.2 II: Chennai's international airport is at Meenambakam. Mark it on the southeastern coast (Tamil Nadu). In board exams, marking within the accepted boundary earns full marks — write both parts of the name to be safe.
- For map questions, accuracy of location + legible labelling are the two criteria examiners check.
