Questions
1) What is eVTOL aircraft? What new regulations and policy changes does India need to better integrate these aircraft?
2) What are the factors promoting illicit organ trade? What policy measures are required to tackle the menace of illicit organ trade?





You could have elaborated a bit more about e-VTOL and its potential benefits, before going directly into challenges.
Also in policy changes some of the points mentioned in the article can be added e.g., regulations on pilotless vehicles, certifications, pilot’s license and training, infra support (take-off, landing zones) etc. Rest seems fine.
Keep Writing 🙂
Thank you for your positive response 👍
Kindly Can u tell how can self evaluate myself for eg.from 10 marks how much I can get….or what is a good range mark in gs answer for a 15 or a 10 marker question ….??
Well to be honest, I don’t know much how the Commission awards the marks. I guess the guidelines might vary, as there are big jumps/falls in the cut-offs across years.
Forum has started a guidance programme, perhaps they’ll elaborate. Maybe You can give it a try.
Thank you 😊 for your response 👍
Some improvement is required in the content, missed out on some points:
1. Scarcity: The demand for organs is much higher than supply. Scarcity is due to less awareness about donation, lack of infra/doctors to harvest organs after death and store them etc.
2. Loopholes in law: The ‘altruistic’ donation is exploited to get organs from the poor who need money.
Similarly in suggestions, do mention about
1. Awareness about organ donation, its benefits and procedures etc.
2. Improvement is required in infrastructure like safe storage of organs and creating network for match supply/demand (i.e., those needs organs should know where to look for). A national repository can be created to facilitate this.
Other aspects are good.
