nice answer
Excellent answer! Nothing much to suggest here.
Earlier provided the review for another answer.
Okay noted! I’ll add the points.
Also, I would like to know that often I am unable to come up with an appropriate sub-heading for the points and ends up spending extra time on it. So, is that okay if I write the sentence without any subheading!?
Yes, its alright, in Mains top priority is to finish all questions on time. Try to practice this approach of sub-heading and execute it to the extent possible, but no issues if not able to provide for all answers.
May not even be possible in some cases.
ORS does not cure disease, it helps the body to regain minerals lost due to diarrhoea. I’m not sure of ORS can cure heart diseases or cholesterol problems. Please share link if this is so.
Great answer! You need not mention the steps taken towards conservation by the Government, focus should be more on individual aspect. Points like responsible consumption are very relevant. In the introduction, do provide expansion of LIFE: Lifestyle for Environment. Rest is good.
Please review
Great answer! Almost all points seem to have been covered, do add the easy transportation of ORS packets. No special cold chain required, hence cost saving in transportation.
Will include it. Thank you
Please review
Great answer! Since You have mentioned triple challenges, do mention the steps that can be taken under each e.g., reducing use of plastics, planting more trees etc.
Ok will add the points. Thank you
Good answer! Many relevant points. Since the question is about LIFE, so you should stick to the changes that can be done in lifestyles, avoid points like tech transfer by developed countries. Focus more on aspects like responsible consumption and avoiding wastage (like food), choosing/adopting sustainable practices (like cycling), reduce polluting practices (minimize plastic bag usage), support biodiversity (plant more trees) etc.
Good answer! While most points have been mentioned, you can improve the expression a bit by being more specific e.g., mention it eliminated need for expert healthcare workers to administer (easy to adopt like you have mentioned), or easy to transport as no need for storage at low temp etc. so low cost. Other aspects seem good.
