✅Heritage management- private players (Public-Private Partnerships or PPPs) to manage protected monuments.
🅾️The government proposes involving private companies to manage and maintain ancient monuments, arguing that the existing body, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), is overstretched and underfunded. One side of the debate argues that the ASI is a capable constitutional body and the solution is simply to empower and fund the ASI better, warning that private players will prioritize commercialization (gift shops, branding) over real, technical conservation.
🅾️The opposing side argues that the ASI is bureaucratic and lacks modern management expertise; therefore, PPPs are essential to bring in professional management

✅Gs-2 : Indian constitution - Historical underpinnings- evolution of Idea of constitution
🅾️Main point of this article - Central Idea= The Indian Constitution is not the sole work of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar; it was a collaborative effort. Sir Benegal Narsing Rau (Constitutional Adviser) provided the initial working draft and fundamental structure, while Ambedkar, as Chairman of the Drafting Committee, skillfully refined and defended the final document, but was not its original architect.The article warns that reducing Ambedkar's contribution to a mere technical task ignores his radical social and moral philosophy, which was integral to the Constitution.

✅Gs3- Climate change- Carbon markets
🅾️Background : Click here
🅾️Carbon markets- in Agriculture- Agri-carbon market
🅾️Core idea here?- The successful use of the carbon market to fight climate change in India depends entirely on enacting strict legal safeguards to protect vulnerable communities from exploitation- without strict legal mandates for FPIC, transparency in contracts, and a formal mechanism for equitable benefit-sharing, the carbon market will simply become another avenue for powerful corporate interests to exploit community land and labor in the name of "climate action."

Both the authors are presenting their views on the same .
