• On Jan-08-2021, UPSC Conducted Civil Services Mains Exam (CSM-2020)’s Essay Paper (Because of the Corona lockdown, the exam cycle is running late).

• New aspirants need to take care not to get brainwashed by one sided analysis of coaching-classes that “ just because so many philosophical topics are asked so you should blindly take philosophy as an optional subject And automatically you will get a ticket to IAS selection! ” – As per the latest annual report of UPSC uploaded on their website, the number of UPSC selection from Philosophy was 53 candidates among 1056 candidates selected in 2017 i.e. 7% (btw, It seems UPSC uploads the annual reports with a lot of delay so as to avoid controversies about selections)

What to do for Essay Preparation/Strategy/Booklist?

• In the market there are lot of readymade books available for the essay. However, as far as the Civil Service exam is concerned they’re not very useful.
• you have to manually gather the content and cultivate the skill for essay writing. Common resources include:
• Last 3 years Yojana and Kurukshetra magazines: They are available in English, Hindi and other Vernacular languages. They can be downloaded for free from their official website: http://yojana.gov.in/Recent_archive_2018.asp (Tip: Replace the year in URL, when you want to access previous years). There is no need to read each and every article, at least go through the preface / Editor’s Note in the beginning of each PDF.
• Last 3-5 years economic surveys available for free at https://indiabudget.gov.in/bspeecha.asp No need to read entire PDFs, just the introductions and conclusions of each chapter.
• IGNOU MPS-003 module. Available for free at https://egyankosh.ac.in
• NCERT textbooks, especially those related to Sociology, Political Science and World History.
• Newspaper Columns: English (TheHindu or IndianExpress), Hindi (JanSatta). In the vernacular language newspapers (e.g. Divya-Bhaskar Gujarati etc)= the quality of the column is not worthy of civil service exam essays.
• Ethics (GS Paper 4) related preparation would also come handy here.

2020’s Essay Paper in linear/sequential format

(write any one essay in 1000-1200 words, 125 marks)

• 1) Life is a long journey between human being and being humane. (मनुष्य होने और मानव बनने के बीच का लम्बा सफर ही जीवन है)
• 2) Mindful manifesto is the catalyst to a tranquil self (विचारपरक संकल्प स्वयं के शांतचित्त रहने का उत्प्रेरक है )
• 3) Ships don’t sink because of water around them ships sink because of water that gets into them (जहाज अपने चारों तरफ के पानी के वजह से नहीं डूबा करते, जहाज पानी के अंदर समां जाने की वजह से डूबता हैं )
• 4) Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication (सरलता चरम परिष्करण है )
• 5) Culture is what we are, civilization is what we have (जो हम है, वह संस्कार; जो हमारे पास है, वह सभ्यता )
• 6) There can be no social justice without economic prosperity but economic prosperity without social justice is meaningless (बिना आर्थिक समृद्धि के सामाजिक न्याय नहीं हो सकता, किन्तु बिना सामाजिक न्याय के आर्थिक समृद्धि निरर्थक है )
• 7) Patriarchy is the least noticed yet the most significant structure of social inequality (पितृ-सत्ता की व्यवस्था नजर मैं बहुत काम आने के बावजूद सामाजिक विषमता की सबसे प्रभावी संरचना है)
• 8) Technology as the silent factor in international relations (अंतर्राष्ट्रीय संबंधों मैं मौन करक के रूप मैं प्रौद्योगिकी)

GS3/Economy CIL Awards Underground Mines to Private Players to Bolster Revenue Stream Why in the News? In an effort to enhance its revenue stream, national miner Coal India Ltd (CIL) has granted its abandoned coal mines to private entities on a revenue-sharing model. About Coal (Distribution across World & India) Coal in india (types, problems, india's dependence on coal, revenue sharing model, etc.). News Summary Distribution of Coal Across the World: Coal serves as a widespread resource for energy and chemicals. The world's proven coal reserves, usually measured in Millions of Tons of Coal Equivalent (MTCE), are predominantly controlled by five countries: United States (~22 per cent) Russia (~15 per cent) Australia (~14 per cent) China (~13 per cent) India (~10 per cent) India's Coal Reserves: The commercial coal-mining industry dates back to 1774, initiated by the East India Company along the Damodar River in West Bengal. Major coal supply in India originates from Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, West Bengal, and Madhya Pradesh. State-owned Coal India Limited holds a virtual monopoly on Indian coal mines, contributing around 75 per cent of the coal utilized in the nation's coal-fired power plants. Types of Coal in India: India possesses four primary coal types based on carbon content and energy potential, each varying in properties and applications. Problems With Indian Coal: High Ash Content: Indian coal typically exhibits high ash content, ranging from 20% to 45%, impacting its calorific value, increasing handling costs, and leading to more pollution. Lower Calorific Value: Domestic coal has a lower calorific value compared to imported coal, necessitating more coal consumption for energy production. Limited Coking Coal: India faces a shortage of high-quality coking coal crucial for steel manufacturing, thereby relying on imports, elevating costs and external dependence. Environmental Concerns: Coal mining and combustion significantly contribute to air and water pollution, deforestation, and climate change, posing sustainability challenges. India's Coal Dependency for Energy: Despite rising renewable energy capacities, coal still supplies approximately 70 per cent of India's electricity. By 2050, coal is projected to fulfill at least 21 per cent of India's electricity needs. Accessible Power Source: Challenges with alternatives like nuclear energy due to cost and safety concerns. India's Developmental Requirements: The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts India to experience the greatest energy demand growth globally between 2020 and 2040, necessitating a mix of energy sources, conventional and renewable. Employment Source: Approximately 4 million individuals in India are employed directly or indirectly in the coal sector, with another 500,000 depending on it for pensions. Government Revenue Source: Coal India Limited stands as the world's largest coal mining company, contributing significantly to government revenues, both at the state and central levels. Revenue Sharing Model for Coal Plants: The revenue-sharing model involves collaboration between Coal India Ltd (CIL) and private entities. Framework Structure: Private entities are granted contracts to operate abandoned or underutilized coal mines on a revenue-sharing basis with CIL. Revenue Distribution: Revenue from coal sales is shared between CIL and private operators based on agreed-upon terms. Identified Mines: CIL pinpointed 23 abandoned or discontinued mines, primarily underground, with a combined peak-rated capacity of 34.14 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) and estimated reserves of 635 million tonnes (MT). Operational Mechanism - Mine Developer and Operator (MDO): Private operators, termed Mine Developer and Operators (MDOs), oversee coal extraction and production processes. Operational Autonomy: MDOs possess the freedom to select technologies, methods, and machinery for coal extraction. Auction Process - Market-Driven Pricing: Coal extracted from these sites is sold at market-driven rates through an auction process managed by operators on behalf of the authority. News Summary: Coal India Ltd has allocated its abandoned coal mines to private entities on a revenue-sharing model to boost domestic production and diminish imports. Out of the 23 identified mines, with a total capacity of 34.14 MTPA and reserves of 635 MT, most were shut due to technical or financial reasons. This initiative aims to increase industry participation, with 75% of coal excavation outsourced to private operators, targeting 90% in five years. While the revenue impact is moderate (10-12%), the focus is on enhanced production efficiency and environmental advantages. These mines will vend coal at market prices through auctions and support coal gasification projects. CIL reported a 7.28% surge in coal production, reaching 160.25MT, and a 27% uptick in production from captive and commercial mines. GS2/International Relations Invisible suffering of Rohingya refugees Why in news? International attention is urgently needed to address the worsening mental health crisis among Rohingya refugees in India. About Rohingya Sufferings Trauma and Mental Health: Rohingya refugees in Delhi experience severe trauma, including anxiety, dissociative episodes, and depression, often due to past experiences in Myanmar and ongoing re-traumatization from living conditions and violence in India. Living Conditions: Rohingya refugees live in shanty-like huts prone to accidental and intentionally set fires, leading to constant fear and re-traumatization. Discrimination and Legal Status: Officially labelled as “illegal immigrants,” Rohingya refugees face severe discrimination in India. They are denied full access to education, healthcare, legal services, and formal employment opportunities. Detention and Deportation: Fear of arbitrary detention and deportation is widespread, despite many having UNHCR refugee cards. At least 500 Rohingya, including women and children, are detained in centres across India without criminal charges, some for decades. Civil Society and Funding: Civil society organizations working with Rohingya refugees face funding challenges due to cancelled FCRA licenses. Many support programs have shut down or reduced operations, leaving few UNHCR-supported organizations to cautiously continue their work. About unsolved Tibetan issue Historical Background: Tibet recognized itself as an autonomous nation under Chinese protection, while China claimed formal incorporation into its borders during the Yuan Dynasty. The relationship between Tibet and China became increasingly strained, culminating in the 1950 Chinese invasion of Tibet and the subsequent annexation of the region. Ongoing Challenges: The Tibetan independence movement continues to push for greater autonomy and recognition of Tibet as a sovereign nation. The Chinese government maintains strict control over information and suppresses any dissent or opposition to its rule in Tibet. Current Situation: Over the last seven years, the Tibetan refugee community in India has dropped by 44 percent, from around 150,000 in 2011 to 85,000, according to Indian government data. Many Tibetans face economic uncertainty due to limited job opportunities and restrictions on property ownership and bank credit. Tibetans are not officially recognized as refugees in India, instead being designated as “foreigners” under Indian law. India has no national refugee law, and its policies are not in accordance with international standards. Way forward: Implement National Refugee Law: Advocate for the establishment of a comprehensive national refugee law in India that aligns with international standards, ensuring legal recognition, protection, and access to basic rights and services for all refugees, including Rohingya and Tibetans. Enhance Mental Health Support: Develop and fund specialized mental health programs for refugees, focusing on trauma-informed care. This includes training local healthcare providers, increasing access to mental health services, and creating safe spaces for refugees to receive consistent psychological support. Refugees should not be turned back to the country where they would face persecution or human right violation”. Examine the statement with reference to the ethical dimension being violated by the nation claiming to be democratic with an open society. (UPSC IAS/2021) Enviro & Biodiversity Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary The recent monsoon showers have brought a sense of relief to the wildlife inhabiting Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, particularly benefiting the vulnerable one-horned rhinoceros population by alleviating the challenges posed by scorching temperatures. About Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary boasts one of the highest concentrations of one-horned rhinoceros worldwide, standing as the second most populated reserve after Kaziranga National Park in Assam. Referred to as 'Mini Kaziranga,' Pobitora showcases a landscape and flora akin to its more famous counterpart. Within its bounds, the sanctuary provides a refuge for numerous endangered species, including one-horned rhinoceroses, leopards, leopard cats, fishing cats, jungle cats, feral buffaloes, wild pigs, and Chinese pangolins. Around 72% of Pobitora's expanse consists of a wet savannah dominated by Arundo donax and Saccharum grasses, while the remainder is characterized by various water bodies. About One-Horned Rhino IUCN Red List Status: The one-horned rhinoceros is classified as Vulnerable according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Habitat: One-horned rhinoceroses primarily inhabit regions in Assam, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh. Assam alone harbors an estimated 2,640 rhinos across four protected areas, namely Pobitora Wildlife Reserve, Rajiv Gandhi Orang National Park, Kaziranga National Park, and Manas National Park. An approximate count of 2,400 rhinoceroses can be found in the Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve (KNPTR). Past Year Question (PYQ): Consider the following statements: The Asian lion is exclusively native to India The double-humped camel is solely found in India The one-horned rhinoceros is a unique inhabitant of India Which of the statements provided above is/are accurate? (a) 1 only (b) 2 only (c) 1 and 3 only (d) 1, 2, and 3 GS3/Environment STRATEGIC IMPERATIVE AND ENVIRONMENT CONCERN IN GREAT NICOBAR PROJECT The proposed Rs 72,000-crore infra upgrade at the Great Nicobar Island has raised concerns about the impact on the island's indigenous inhabitants and fragile ecosystem. The Congress party is demanding the immediate suspension of all clearances for the project and a thorough review. Key Takeaways Great Nicobar Island is the southernmost and largest of the Nicobar Islands, characterized by tropical rainforests and diverse wildlife. Indira Point on the island marks India's southernmost point, located close to Sumatra, Indonesia. The island hosts two national parks, a biosphere reserve, tribal populations, and unique ecosystems. Its natural features include tropical wet evergreen forests, mountain ranges, and coastal plains. The leatherback sea turtle is a significant species found on the island. Project Details The project for the holistic development of Great Nicobar Island was initiated based on a report by NITI Aayog. A pre-feasibility report highlighted the strategic location of the island for regional connectivity. The project aims to enhance the island's infrastructure and participation in the maritime economy. Environmental Concerns Opponents of the project argue that it threatens the rights of tribal populations and could harm the island's ecology. Critics are concerned about the potential impact on vulnerable tribal groups like the Shompen and local wildlife. The development could lead to deforestation and habitat destruction, affecting marine and terrestrial species. Project Implementation The Great Nicobar project is planned to be executed in three phases over the next 30 years. The proposed components include an International Container Transhipment Terminal, an international airport, a power plant, and a dedicated township. The designated site for the ICTT and power plant is Galathea Bay on the southeastern corner of Great Nicobar Island. PRO-TERM SPEAKER Prelims – POLITY Senior Congress leader K Suresh is likely to be appointed as pro-tem Speaker in the 18th Lok Sabha. The first session of the 18th Lok Sabha is scheduled from June 24 to July 3. A pro-tem Speaker is chosen to swear in the new Members of Parliament until the new Speaker is elected. What is a pro-tem Speaker? The Speaker of the Lok Sabha has specific duties according to Article 94 of the Indian Constitution. The pro-tem Speaker, chosen temporarily, performs key duties until the new Speaker is elected. The official 'Handbook on the Working of Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs' discusses the Appointment and Swearing in of Speaker pro tempore. How is the pro-tem Speaker chosen? When the Speaker post becomes vacant, a Member of the House is appointed by the President as Speaker pro tem. The pro-tem Speaker's primary duty is to administer oaths to new MPs. The seniormost members of the Lok Sabha are generally chosen for this purpose. Administering oaths to new MPs The Minister of Parliamentary Affairs seeks approval from the President for the appointment of the Speaker pro-tem and three members for oath-taking. Following approval, the Speaker pro-tem and other members are informed of their appointments. The President administers the oath to the Speaker pro-tem, who then administers oaths to the other members. Indian Express GS1/Indian Society A story of displacement to one of empowerment Over 45% of Sri Lankan Tamils in Tamil Nadu's rehabilitation camps were born in India, per a recent interim report by a State government panel. Causes of Tamilian Displacement Ethnocentric Violence: The primary cause of displacement was the ethnocentric violence in Sri Lanka, particularly against the Tamil population. The violence led to significant loss of life and property, forcing Tamils to flee for their safety. Proximity and Linguistic Commonality: Many Tamils chose India, particularly Tamil Nadu, due to its geographical proximity and the shared Tamil language, making it a more accessible and familiar refuge. Government Initiatives Provision of Basic Amenities: Refugees receive free housing, electricity, water, and monthly food rations. Additionally, they get a monthly cash dole. Educational Support: Access to government schools is provided, along with a monthly stipend of ₹1,000 for those pursuing higher education. One-time educational support includes ₹12,000 for arts and science students and ₹50,000 for engineering students. Welfare Schemes: Refugees are eligible for various welfare schemes available to the people of Tamil Nadu, including the women's rights scheme providing ₹1,000 per month. New Housing: Recently, the Government of Tamil Nadu has constructed new homes for about 5,000 Sri Lankan Tamils. Bringing Back Dignity Educational Achievements: The welfare schemes have led to 100% school enrollment and over 4,500 graduates from the camps. Breaking Caste Barriers: As refugees, Sri Lankan Tamils are categorized under the Refugee category, which has helped in breaking free from caste barriers. Government Recognition: The renaming of refugee camps to Sri Lankan Tamil Rehabilitation Camps is a step towards restoring the dignity of the displaced population. Advocacy and Support: Continuous advocacy by organizations like OfERR, support from donors, and political parties have facilitated the patronage extended by the Government of Tamil Nadu and the Government of India. Current Challenges Legal Limitations: Indian laws currently do not permit local integration by granting citizenship to Sri Lankan refugees. Economic and Health Crises: The COVID-19 pandemic and the economic crisis in Sri Lanka have slowed down the process of refugees returning to their homeland. Uncertain Future: Despite the improvements in their living conditions and dignity, Sri Lankan Tamils in India continue to live with uncertainty about their long-term future. Way forward Amend Legal Frameworks: Advocate for amendments in Indian laws to allow for local integration and citizenship for long-term refugees, providing them with a secure legal status and equal rights. Strengthen Economic Opportunities: Develop targeted economic empowerment programs, including vocational training and employment initiatives, to enhance self-sufficiency and reduce dependency on state support, ensuring a sustainable livelihood for the refugees. Q 'India is an age-old friend of Sri Lanka.' Discuss India's role in the recent crisis in Sri Lanka in the light of the preceding statement (UPSC IAS/2022) NHRC Notice to Centre on Worker Rights Violation in Haryana The National Human Right Commission (NHRC) has issued a notice to the Centre following reports from an Amazon company's warehouse in Haryana's Manesar.

The new campus is near the ancient ruins of Nalanda University, which was established through the Nalanda University Act 2010, enacted following a decision made at the 2nd East Asia Summit in the Philippines in 2007. What's in Today's Article? The ancient nalanda mahavihara, revival of nalanda university, features of the new nalanda university campus, highlights of the pm's address at the new nalanda university inauguration. Nalanda was a renowned Buddhist mahavihara (great monastery) in ancient and medieval Magadha (modern-day Bihar), near the city of Rajagriha (now Rajgir) and about 90 kms southeast of Pataliputra (now Patna). It was established by Kumargupta I - the ruler of Gupta Empire (c. 3rd to 6th century CE), and is considered to be among the greatest centres of learning in the ancient world. It played a vital role in promoting the patronage of arts and academics during the 5th and 6th century CE, a period that has since been described as the "Golden Age of India" by scholars. The chronicles of seventh-century Chinese traveler Hsuan Tsang provide the most detailed description of ancient Nalanda. After Guptas, Nalanda continued to thrive with the support of the rulers of the Pala Empire and may have been attacked (in 1190s) and damaged by Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji - a Turko-Afghan military general. After being lost for six centuries, the university was rediscovered in 1812 by Scottish surveyor Francis Buchanan-Hamilton. Later (in 1861), it was officially identified as the ancient university by Sir Alexander Cunningham. The current site of Nalanda is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Government of India enacted a law in 2010 to revive the famous university. In an effort to restore its legacy, the proposition to re-establish Nalanda University was put forth by former president Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam in 2006. In 2007, the proposal to resurrect Nalanda was supported at the East Asia Summit in Mandaue, Philippines, and was reaffirmed in the East Asia Summit of 2009, in Hua Hin, Thailand. This vision gained traction with the passage of the Nalanda University Bill in 2010 in the Indian Parliament, leading to its operational commencement in 2014 from a temporary location near Rajgir. Former president Pranab Mukherjee laid the groundwork for the permanent campus in 2016 at Pilkhi village, Rajgir. The design of the university, spread across 455 acres of land, blends modern and ancient architectural styles. The new campus incorporates eco-friendly architecture, ensuring a net-zero carbon footprint. The university currently houses six schools encompassing Buddhist studies, historical studies, ecology, sustainable development, languages, literature, and international relations. Additionally, it accommodates four centers specializing in Bay of Bengal Studies, Indo-Persian Studies, Conflict Resolution, and a Common Archival Resource Center. Nalanda University signifies that knowledge is resilient and cannot be eradicated by fire. Nalanda University will contribute to the concept of global brotherhood and serve as a symbol of India's progress. The Revival of Nalanda will showcase India's capabilities to the world and aid in establishing India as a global center for knowledge and education. History demonstrates that all advanced nations became economic and cultural leaders only after excelling in the realm of education. EUROPEAN COMMISSION (EC) The European Commission (EC) has suggested imposing anti-dumping tariffs on Indian optical fiber cable (OFC) producers. If put into effect, these tariffs could raise the prices of Indian OFC exports, potentially reducing their competitiveness in the European market. In 2024, India shipped nearly Rs 39,600 crore worth of OFC, with Europe being a key destination. About EUROPEAN COMMISSION (EC) : The European Commission (EC) plays a critical role within the European Union (EU). It acts as the EU's executive branch, overseeing day-to-day operations and policy execution. Composition: The EC comprises a College of Commissioners, with each member representing one of the 27 EU member states. The College of Commissioners includes the President of the Commission, eight Vice-Presidents (including three Executive Vice-Presidents), the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and 18 Commissioners, each overseeing a specific portfolio. The daily management of Commission affairs is handled by its staff (such as lawyers and economists) organized into departments called Directorates-General (DGs), each focusing on a particular policy area. What does the Commission do? Proposes new legislation: The Commission is the only EU body that proposes laws for approval by the Parliament and the Council to safeguard the EU's and its citizens' interests on matters that cannot be effectively addressed at the national level. Manages EU policies & allocates EU funding: Establishes EU spending priorities in collaboration with the Council and Parliament. Prepares annual budgets for endorsement by the Parliament and Council.

GS3/International Relations India's $10 Million Contribution to Global Digital Health Initiative Delayed The Global Initiative on Digital Health (GIDH) was initiated during India's G20 Presidency at the Health Ministers' meeting in Gujarat in August 2023 and later became part of the New Delhi declaration. India had committed a $10 million contribution as a seed fund. While the GIDH officially commenced in February 2024, India has yet to fulfill its $10 million commitment due to the Department of Economic Affairs (Ministry of Finance) not sanctioning the contribution. What's in today's article? Digital health Digital health involves leveraging technology, such as mobile devices, software applications, and other digital tools, to enhance health and healthcare delivery. This interdisciplinary concept amalgamates technology and healthcare, encompassing various technologies and services like telemedicine, electronic health records, wearable devices, and health information exchange. Noteworthy examples in India include CoWIN, UNICEF's RapidPro, and FamilyConnect: RapidPro, a real-time information platform, is a core element in UNICEF's digital health repertoire. FamilyConnect dispatches targeted life cycle-based messages through SMS to expectant mothers, new mothers, heads of households, and others. Importance of digital health: Empowering patients by offering a comprehensive view of their health through data access and control. Digital tools aid in disease treatment, prevention, and managing chronic conditions. Additional benefits include reducing inefficiencies, enhancing access, cutting costs, improving quality, and customizing medicine for patients. Digital health contributes to achieving universal health coverage goals by ensuring the availability, accessibility, affordability, and equity of health services. Challenges of digital health: Ensuring equitable access is a challenge, particularly for low- and middle-income countries due to issues such as low digital literacy and internet penetration. Ethical dilemmas concerning privacy, security, and data ownership emerge with the increasing digitization of healthcare. Data management encounters obstacles due to the diversity of data sources and systems. Goals of GIDH: Aligning efforts to bolster the Global Strategy on Digital Health 2020-2025.
