✅GS-4 : Ethics- Human values- Existentialism and Svadharma
🅾️Humans initially have no predetermined essence or role. Individuality is shaped by free choice and personal actions. Thinkers like Kierkegaard & Sartre emphasize personal responsibility and authenticity—living true to one’s freely chosen values.Similarly, Svadharma emphasizes individualized duty based on one's personal nature, talents, social context, and responsibilities.
🅾️Existentialism argues purpose is not given but created through choices. Svadharma argues each individual has a unique role/duty based on nature (prakriti) and social position (varna & ashrama).Commonality: Both emphasize personal duty towards authenticity and rightful living.
⚠️Questions on concepts like dharma, existential anxiety, or absolute freedom can be effectively tackled by seeing them as aspects of human ethical decision-making and action rather than isolated facts

✅Gs-2/3 : IR- Climate change- Need for diplomacy
🅾️Central premise of this article- The biggest risk to climate action is not lack of technology—it’s lack of coordination and governance. Future climate forecasting will not depend solely on any single nation but rather on AI-powered, decentralized modeling networks- Ex : EU’s Copernicus Climate Initiative, China’s AI-Driven Climate Models (2023)
🅾️The best climate model is a decentralized, self-correcting system that combines multi-scale forecasting with automated validation mechanisms.
⚠️🌟V. IMP= Expect questions on AI in climate change, international climate collaborations, and policy recommendations for resilient climate modeling systems.The 2025 UPSC Mains Exam will likely test this intersection of climate science, global governance, and emerging technology.

✅Gs-3 : Agriculture
🅾️Context : Farm labourers' inclusion in policies, MSP extension for organic crops, need for comprehensive crop insurance.
⚠️What to note?- Shift in Policy Narrative – From Farmers to Farm Labourers-The demand for MSP on organic crops is logical, as organic farming involves higher input costs and longer transition periods. However, the report cautions against distorting MSP policies if organic crop MSP overshadows traditional MSP demands based on the Swaminathan formula
🌟Push for Institutional Mechanisms – National Commission for Farm Labourers- Personally , i feel that the political message here is that policymakers are recognizing farm labour as a distinct economic class separate from farmers.
⚠️Monitoring of Agricultural Spending – This aligns with reports from CAG audits and NITI Aayog, which have flagged irregularities in agricultural subsidies and rural welfare programs.

🔴🎖Important difference between ICC and ICJ apart from the usual info you find in CA magazines- Click here
🅾️Criteria for arrest under ICC's rome statute :
⚜️1. Genocide.
⚜️2. Crimes Against Humanity-Duterte is accused of crimes against humanity related to extrajudicial killings during his "war on drugs" (2011–2019).
⚜️3. War Crimes
⚜️4. Crime of Aggression
⚠️The ICC lacks its own enforcement mechanism-ICC warrants are only enforced if a signatory state arrests and surrenders the individual. success depends on international pressure and diplomatic backing.
🔰Warrant alone does not guarantee arrest, but it restricts Duterte’s international mobility.If Duterte enters an ICC member state, he must be arrested.Non-compliance by states leads to UN Security Council involvement, but enforcement is politically complex.
