✅Gs-2: social issues- Health- Cash transfers to pregnant women-Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY)
🅾️Under the National Food Security Act (NFSA) 2013, all pregnant women (except those employed in the formal sector) are entitled to maternity benefits of at least ₹6,000.
⚠️This is where you can make a mistake for prelims
🅾️1. The Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) provides financial assistance to all pregnant women without any restrictions?- NO! PMMVY applies only to the first child (recently extended to second child if the baby is a girl).
😁2. The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 provides paid leave, not cash transfers. Also this Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, mandates 26 weeks of paid leave ONLY for formal sector employees, not all women.

✅Gs-3 : Agriculture- Agri trade
🅾️Previous data - Click here
⚠️Read about this- Agriculture- Wheat Exports
🔰Agri Storage and marketing- Edible oils-he gap between demand and supply of edible oils is about 56 per cent and is met through imports- Read about this problem
🌟Final takeaway : This article is a classic example of how statistics can be used to highlight growth but obscure underlying challenges. “Exports have posted above-average growth” → Check if growth is real or inflation-induced?
🔰Avoid Assumptions Based on Headlines : Headlines may highlight one aspect (export growth), but a deeper look shows trade surplus reduction.

✅Gs-1 : Geography
✅Gs-3 : Environment - Wallace line
⚠️What is it? - The Wallace Line is an invisible boundary in Southeast Asia that separates two vastly different sets of animal species—Asian species (tigers, orangutans) on one side and Australian species (kangaroos, cockatoos) on the other. This happens despite the islands being close to each other.
🅾️The reason? = Continental Drift + Evolution + Climate + Ocean Currents.
⚜️Millions of years ago, Australia broke away from Antarctica and developed its unique species.
⚜️Meanwhile, Asia pushed into Indonesia, forming new volcanic islands.
⚜️The deep ocean between these regions acted as a natural barrier, stopping animals from crossing.
⚜️Over time, species on either side evolved separately, leading to completely different biodiversity.

✅Gs-2 : RPA- Electoral representation and regional balance - Click here
🅾️Issue : Democracy operates on the principle of equal representation, but if seats are reallocated only based on population, states with better governance and lower population growth will be punished. This challenges the core principle of democratic representation
📍What is Our roadmap to reform?
⚜️1. Increase in Parliamentary Seats
⚜️2. Delimitation should consider factors like geographical determinism, economic productivity, linguistic history, and fairness, not solely based on population- women reservation- Click here
⚜️3. Creation of a new State Reorganization Commission

✅Gs-3 : Economy- Trump's Trade Policy Shift
🅾️US Announced Reciprocal Tariffs- Higher tariffs on US trade partners regardless of their economic development level.
🅾️So there are Claims that countries like China, India, Mexico, and Canada impose higher tariffs on US products than the US imposes on them.
🅾️After this, India’s exports to the US will face increased tariffs, affecting key sectors like automobiles, chemicals, agriculture, and electronics.
