Experience at Puri Jagannath Mandira - hoped for darshan, even if it would've been just a glimpse. Instead, found a stampede, little kids (2-3 y/os) being crushed, women and elderly falling or fainting, PWDs struggling to get in, no line (obviously), complicity of the police-
In addition to Sambad Group's ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the impact of climate change, we have added a weekly page 'Punascha Pruthibi' dedicated to Mother Earth from January 2023. The intent is to provide more space to environmental issues, make it more mainstream, make it easy for the public to understand complex issues and also laud climate warriors who are doing good work. We are fully committed to the issue of climate change and would welcome feedback, inputs and collaborations. @SambadGroup #PunaschaPruthibi #Sambad
ART OF ANSWER WRITING:
In UPSC Mains, understanding and fulfilling the demand of the question is the key to success. Different words like comment, examine, illustrate, etc. demand different kinds and presentations of answers.
Meaning of key words:
1. Explain: Clarify the topic by giving a detailed account of what (facts), why (reasons), and how (process).
2. Describe: Provide a detailed explanation as to how and why something occurs in paragraphs.
3. Discuss: This is a debate, thereby giving different aspects about pros and cons, both in facts and judgement.
4. Examine: It's like giving numbers after checking the student's paper. Here, one should make judgements about pros and cons in terms of right/wrong and good/bad with the backing of facts, stats, graphs, etc.
5. Evaluate: Give a verdict about whether a statement or finding within a piece of research is true, but in quantitative (data) terms. In cases of a lack of knowledge about dates, use terms like large, small, few, many, etc.
6. Analyse: Break an issue into parts like political, economic, social, cultural, etc.
7. Critically: In this, not only does one need to see limitations, but one also has to write about ways to improve.
8. Comment: Give your opinion about pros and cons backed by data and logic, but here, writing implications and suggestions is very important.
9. Illustrate, Elucidate, or Exemplify: Similar to explaining, but with more emphasis on using examples (current), data, and statistics.
10. Enumerate: Write in points format, thereby providing a list or outline.
11. Trace: Give the historical sequence of the topic.
12. Elaborate: Give more detailed information, but in paragraph format.
13. Define: Give a precise definition of something. Bring attention to problems posed with definitions and different interpretations.
14. Compare: Give stress on similarity first and then on differences.
15. Contrast: The main stress is on differences.
16. Differentiate: Give differences first, but at the end, any similarity may be mentioned.
Any #UPSC aspirant must understand that these words form the basis for getting good marks in #UPSCMAINS.
One must try to understand, write and implement in letter and spirit.
