I personally think this is a PL-480 kinda moment for india- we responded with green revolution. Its time we think of a digital revolution.

Just for a context- the previous fee was around 6k USD- it is 100k now. This makes hiring indians literally unviable for us companies.
Gs-3: Science and tech- Accessibility to scientific literature

🅾️India has the fourth-highest number of PhD graduates globally. Yet most Indian students face severe resource constraints: stipends are low, journal subscriptions are costly. Recent Delhi High Court order (blocking Sci-Hub, Libgen) reignited debate on the academic paywall problem.

⚠️Need- Strengthen open access policies: E.g., DST’s mandate that publicly funded research must be freely accessible.

Gs-1 : Salient Features of Indian society- Models of secularism-( Uniform civil code- read this for a legal perspective)
Gs2- Vulnerable sections- Women- Legal age of Marriage

🔰The theme we are discussing is about Marriage and the legal issues associated with it- For a background- Click here

🎖Goa is often taken as the role model for Uniform civil code- Read it in detail- Especially if you are appearing for interview- Click here

🅾️The Sikh marriage registration issue reveals the fault lines of India’s plural legal system — fragmentary, identity-sensitive, but uneven in protecting rights. It shows why the UCC debate must move beyond uniformity to the deeper question of ensuring equality and dignity without erasing diversity.

Gs-2 : Health : Why are PHC (Primary Health Centre) doctors important?

🅾️In rural and tribal areas, PHC doctors are often the only accessible face of healthcare.

🅾️Population served: Each PHC caters to ~30,000 people in rural areas, ~70,000 in urban/semi-urban areas.

⚠️Issues :

⚜️1. High case load-A single PHC doctor may see over 100 patients daily.

⚜️2. Administrative Overload-Huge burden of registers,

⚜️3. Burnout and Neglect-WHO recognises burnout as an occupational health condition.

⚜️4. Mismatch of expectations vs support: State demands universal healthcare delivery. But doctors lack staff, infrastructure, or time.


🅾️Unless India invests in systems that support them, universal healthcare will remain a distant dream.

Gs-3 : Climate change- climate policy and climate transition.

🅾️The double-edged question: Can AI optimise and save energy use? Or will AI’s own appetite for energy overwhelm the grid?_ generally know that any new technology increases demand (short run) but also creates pathways for efficiency (long run).

🅾️Data centres = ~1–2% of global electricity. Expected to grow to ~3–4% by 2030.

🅾️Inputs (electricity, minerals) define scalability → AI cannot expand sustainably unless energy source transitions.

You could write PYQs on your own, but:
• Without structuring templates, you risk repeating bad habits.
• Without self-evaluation metrics, you won’t know why your answer isn’t rank-worthy.
• Without time-bound discipline, you’ll end up reading PYQs, not writing them.
