Questions
1) As the world shrinks with technological and communication changes, terrorists, criminals, weapons, and funds are also able to move across national boundaries easily. In light of the statement, highlight the efforts made by India to tackle these challenges?
2) Health must be turned into a feature and eventually a function of air pollution policy. Discuss.
You began well, but You need to highlight the neglect of health aspect in our current frameworks e.g., CAQM has no representation from the Health sector at a time of disastrous air pollution. Similarly membership of health experts is low in Pollution Control Boards. This results in absence of health perspective in actions of such bodies.
Higher representation will ensure health responsive action.
Thank you,will work on suggestions

There seems to be lack of understanding regarding the question statement, corruption is not involved here.
Highlight the challenges posed due to technology in context of terrorism, funding etc. Then mention steps taken. Refer Reecha’s answer, you’ll get an idea what to write.
Good attempt! You also need to highlight other challenges due to tech advancements in context of terrorism.
In steps also highlight India’s domestic laws (PMLA, adherence to FATF Standards), India’s push for counter terrorism treaty etc.
Answer is good, there is scope for some improvement though!
