Questions
1) What do you understand by ‘Space Sustainability’? Highlight the threats to space sustainability and the steps taken by India to ensure space sustainability.
2) Even after 75 years of independence, India is afflicted by public health issues such as child malnutrition. Discuss direct nutrition interventions that can be helpful in curtailing this menace.
Perfect answer!! Good use of the diagram, you also mentioned Kessler Syndrome. Awesome!
Perhaps could have added the point that at present there is no sustainable way to discard obsolete/out of service satellites. You have mentioned graveyard orbit in digram, just give a 1-2 line definition.
Keep writing 🙂
Thank you for the valuable suggestions
please review my answer.
Great answer!
Some suggestions
1. The introduction is in a single sentence, try to use smaller sentences.
2. You could have mentioned data regarding undernutrition in introduction.
3. The point related to EBF is missing in the issues section. NFHS has said that there has been only marginal improvement.
4. In the way forward, mention the scheme name (ICDS) instead of writing 1970s schemes (small thing but it does make an impact). Also it appears to be repetitive, similar to pt. 7 under direct interventions. You can avoid that.
Great answer overall!
Keep writing 🙂
Thanks, all suggestions have been noted down. I have mentioned EBF in the direct intervention section in point number 3 already
Please review it.
Good answer. In terms of coverage, almost all points have been covered. Presentation is nice, pointed arguments easy to read.
Some suggestions
1. In the introduction/definition, try to use smaller sentences. You have extended 1 sentence to full paragraph. Shorter sentences are more readable. Similarly, the para introducing India’s steps can be removed as most of it is generic, You can directly mention the points under the title Steps taken by India.
2. In the suggestions, try to highlight the need for international cooperation as it is not possible for a single nation to address the issue.
3. Try to differentiate Your answer. Refer to the answer by other aspirant, very nice diagram. Such things make Your answer stand out and get more credit.
Overall good effort!
Keep writing 🙂
Please review and let me know my mistakes
Good answer. In terms of content looks great, good that You have also mentioned Kessler Syndrome.
You have elaborated a bit more on space debris aspect I feel, could have cut down the content there. In terms of way forward, some more points could have been added like Artemis Accords, Outer Space Treaty etc. More finance, R&D is needed to create methods to sustainably discard old/retired satellites.
Good answer overall though!
Keep writing 🙂
Okay I’ll add those points.
Thankyou for reviewing
