Questions
1) Highlight the health and healthcare issues facing Tribals in India. Also, suggest some measures to improve their health status.
2) In your opinion, what do you think are the causes behind increasing Parliamentary disruptions? What instruments are available to prevent such disruptions?
Great answer! Nice to see that you have made a distinction between Health and Healthcare issues. Map is good too.
In suggestions, you can also add National Tribal Health Action Plan as mentioned in the article. Any reference regarding tribals and zoonotic diseases? Generally people working in farms/livestock are most vulnerable.
Thank you. Tribals and zoonotic disease was my guess since they interact a lot with the wild. Thank you for the knowledge – zoonotic disease and associated vulnerability in farming and livestock.
I’ll go through the article. I didn’t read Hindu today.
Thank you for the continuous support and reviews.

Please review and let me know my mistakes
Good answer! Only suggestion would be cut down the introduction part. First two points in the healthcare challenges (like unique culture) are less relevant can be avoided. Rest all really good. Answer seems within word limit 🙂
Okay, I think I need to work on my introduction part. I have been told many time the same!
Thanks for the review.
As a general rule of thumb, cite definition/relevant fact or data point. 2-3 lines/20-30 words (i.e. roughly 10% of the word limit) should be enough.
Alright! I will try follow it now onwards.
That is a very good suggestion. Very right to say that it is not always possible to quote data or fact. But try to link it with the theme e.g., the question can be on inflation. Most aspirants will write “Inflation has been very high over the last few months”. Better way will be to write “Inflation has been above the RBI’s target limit of 6% for the last few months”. You needn’t remember exact figure, but You have given an idea to the examiner why inflation is an issue.
Sometimes it is difficult to decide what to use- definition, data or any fact. I was seeing toppers answer scripts and found that most of them used general indroduction. But most founded element is that they always link the last line of introduction with the body to indicate the flow in the answer. It might be because reader could easily connect with the theme of the question due to effective flow through out the answer-intro, body, conclusion. I don’t know whether i am right or not.
Awesome! Nice use of Map. Comprehensive and balanced answer. Hardly anything to suggest here!
Thank you. I always aspire to read this type of comment on every answer. Slowly and gradually moving towards some sort of effectiveness everyday. Your comments motivate to increase efficiency in answer writing.
Thank You!
Great answer! In the intro, are You referring to the overall productivity of the sessions held during the duration of 16th Lok Sabha? You can also cite more recent data from the 17th Lok Sabha.
First point under reasons is bit unclear, couldn’t read it clearly.
One more reason can be added is that due to media coverage, MPs tend to create ruckus, as it gets more headlines. Suggestions are apt.
Nice overall!
Thank u …I’ll keep it in mind next time
Seems really nice! All points adequately addressed. Nothing to suggest!
Please review
Great answer! Proper structure and flow, to the point arguments, seems within word limit. Great job!
Keep writing 🙂
Good answer!
Many points you have mentioned in the issues faced by tribals are general, in the sense that these same issues exist in non-tribal areas also. In tribal areas, these issues are more acute. You can also add that tribals have higher proportion in prevalence of certain diseases, or other health issues like malnutrition anaemia. Refer the article.
Some suggestions are good, more can be added from the article. Conclusion is a little abrupt, you can end the answer with a positive/hopeful remark.
Excellent answer! In reasons you can add that there is lack of consensus on deciding the agenda of the House between the Government and the Opposition. Also is suggestion, Rules can be amended to mandate certain minimum hours of working of the Parliament; if not met, session must be extended etc. Great answer overall!
Thank you very much, I will surely add these points from next time
