Few tips on answer writing skills for CSE-09 Mains.....Reply to Mr Rajesh

Hello Mr Rajesh, thanks for your visit on the blog…Regarding the answer writing skills in mains…few things should be kept in mind:
[1] Answer should be strictly according to the question….for e.g. if question is on impact of PRI [Panchayati Raj] on silent social revolution comes….then focus only social aspects of PRI provisions with some live examples…no need to write on the provisions of Election commission, Finance commission, etc…..answers in General studies should be written straight forwardly e.g Discuss 3 stage nuclear power programme of India?….Answer should start as follows: India’s 3 stage power programme is as follows…stage [1]…stage [2]…stage [3]…no need of intro…you can write few lines in conclusion…..The answer can be in the form of points [in GS specially] or paragraph or points and paragraphs depending on the content and time availability.
[2] Language should be simple and writing should be neat and clean with minimum cutting.
[3] Focus on content rather than size of the answers.
[4]For socio, pub ad or any other optional, figures, maps or diagrams can be inserted only if context, situation and matter demands so…unnecessary diagrams and figures may harm your chance.
[5] Underlining of the key points and concepts can be done with the same ink or different ink…butt it should not be too much as it is a time consuming process.
[6] Selection of the questions is very important…choose easy and straight questions or those on which you have enough content…no need to select question out of the box….
[7] last but not the least, maintain your cool and calm during the examination hour as creativity comes in tranquil mind…..even if some questions or some papers get spoiled, don’t loose the battle….miracles happen in UPSC….
Further query is welcome…good luck for CSE-2009 mains….keep blogging……

HOW FOOL PROOF IS INDIA’S DISASTER MANAGEMENT

Dear Mr Manmauji


I appreciate the humane concern of all the bloggers who have empathize with the plights of all the innocent people who have not only loss the lives and assets but also have become a victim of the devastating floods occurred in southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra..

I don’t want to go far back in history but just in April 2009 when India achieved another laurel by putting up RISAT-2 in space by PSLV-C12. RISAT-2 was presumed to be an all weather satellite capable of taking images of earth during day, night and cloudy conditions. It was termed as an “all weather spy satellite”. The basic purpose of RISAT-2 was to enhance India’s capability in earth observation especially during floods, cyclones, landslides and disaster management.

My question to all the readers of this blog is that have RISAT-2 been able to provide its required purpose of enhancing India’s capability in disaster management. Are we able to offer time help to all the victims who are fighting with their destiny? Are we still relying on “fire-fight approach” on disaster management? What we have learned from December 2004 tsunami which took away Indira Point from us?

It is evident that India is vulnerable to various natural disaster management on account of its geo-climatic conditions. There are various disaster management authorities, national policies and programmes to tackle with this unforeseen evil. How far they have been able to prevent this or provide timely relief.
