Gs-4 : Emotional Intelligence
๐ พ๏ธWhat is Humility in Public Discourse?
๐ฐAns : Humility in public discourse refers to the ability to engage in discussions and debates with a sense of respect, openness, and self-awareness. It emphasizes understanding and valuing the perspectives of others, acknowledging one's own limitations, and refraining from personal attacks or aggressive rhetoric.
๐ พ๏ธFirst-Order and Second-Order Claims: First-order claims focus on the merits of actions and decisions.
Second-order claims evaluate individuals' character based on their views, often leading to personal attacks.
Dismissing first-order concerns and focusing on second-order claims creates a hypocritical and divisive environment.
๐ พ๏ธImpact of Polarization: Personal attacks and hate speech prevent meaningful dialogue and create divisions.

Really touched with this gesture from a student- yatin
What an amazing talent! Never let this exam setbacks make you feel like any less of a person. You are gifted yatin! I am truely blessed and grateful to have such students.
Irrespective of what this exam means to you and how the world treats you, if you cant be kind on yourself, the world certainly wont. We may not be perfect in anyway but we were honest in our intent and that is all that matters in life to reach our destination. Slowly- but eventually .Let each one of us vow to be the light that dispels darkness๐
P.s- sorry if i was unable to take some calls or messages because of paucity of time, i will eventually reach out to all but taking the priority of mains candidates because of their urgency- please do not feel that the team has ignored you in your low phase
forever grateful๐

Gs-3 : Inclusive growth/ Economic development
โก๏ธCentral premise of the author : The central premise of the author is that electoral politics often swings between two extremes: development-focused promises and short-term populist measures. Both have their pros and cons, and the need of the hour is to find a balanced approach.
โ ๏ธโผ๏ธMy problem with these sort of articles?- they dont tell us WHAT THIS BALANCED APPROACH should be! and illogically supports freebie model of governance- that is not a solution at all!
โก๏ธSo here is my take on this issue : You are free to add any new ideas that come to your mind
โ๏ธ1. Create a Comprehensive Infrastructure Review Board (CIRB) through law to evaluate these projects
โ๏ธ2. Amend the FRBM act, 2003 to include PSUs- Benchmarking against international standards like the European Union's Stability and Growth Pact.( Read about this)
โ๏ธ3. INTRODUCE - Populism Impact Assessment
