@sat_009haan yehi dhyaan mein rakhkar saara karke aaya. Par jo chhod ke aaya woh bahut mushkil tha.

Kahin par irrelevant stuff nahi likha hai but in questions worth 50 marks, i could have written a bit better. I mean Ek do aur points add ho sakte thay.

@paranthapijjamaine likha hai both sides.

YES WE ARE LOSING

Change in attire.
Change in language (angrezi prefer karna)
Change in music taste (Western sunna)
Nuclear families, leaving elderly behind.
Live in relationship, forgetting the value of marriage.
People get settled in other countries and forget their values and culture and adopt the Host's culture & values.

NO WE AREN'T

Festivals pe ya family functions mein most of the women prefer Saree.

Many people prefer Mother tongue to communicate.

Nayi generation mein bhi kuch hain jo classical ke deewane hain

Many people don't desert their parents even now.

Many people have more faith in the institution of marriage and don't prefer Live in.

Many people even if they settle in foreign, don't leave their culture and values behind. Eg. Diwali being celebrated in the US, UK etc.

Iss se thoda poor hi likha hai actual exam mein maine.

@vvvikas0078212820-850 is the safest score to land in the Holy list. Par itna score karna zara mushkil hai, par namumkin nahi.

@bharathakkera-ips862said inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

My AI essay in 2019 mains- apologies for asking you to comment on it when the results are expected to come in a couple of weeks.

Introduction:

Me: Call Sharath
Reply: Call went to Sharath
Me:What is famous restaurent in this area
Reply:
Me:What is your Name?
Reply: My name is SIRI.

Mentioned Google search page, Amazon search items displayed while browsing other webpages, Driverless cars. Technology used is AI.
Then I defined AI in my own words and its utilities.

in this Paragraph I mentioned negative impacts of AI like tech transformation, job loss in the short period of time.

I counter-argued with Chinese early adoption of IR3.0 and its positive impact in terms of current growth of Export led economy. mentioned Chinese IR4.0(AI, data...)
Stressed point on advantage of early adoption of new tech revolution.

I supported AI in my essay from here. Reasons- above one, changing global dynamics - US-china trade war, protectionism in several countries,
technological advancement.
mentioned its uses in different fields like - Medicine, education, transportation, e-commerce, traffic management, Urbanization-Migration patterns.

I talked about Eco Survey mentioned about AI in its 2018-19 report, Niti Aayog @ India @ 75 years report - Fourth IR or IR4.0.
with these arguments I supported AI

In this part I talked about challenges - Technology transfer, Budget allocation, Policy CERTAINITY(mentioned uncertainity of e-commerce rules in India) , Education and skill building.
I mentioned Sharda Prasad committee report on Skill India program - spent 15K crores but no proper skill dev according to organization needs.

Here onwards, I mentioned about wayforwad - here I included PMUY scheme which talks about - skilling, reskilling , upskilling- so AI training programs
could be integrated with this sceheme.Optimum utilization of funds, Policy support, better infrastucture, R&D

now I concluded my essay in two paragraphs - agian talked about advantages(which are not mentioned above) and current technologies like - CYBORGs
AI became a topic of discussion everywhere. Mentioned - Western European countries increasing their fund allocation on AI

Ended with Amartya Sen CAPABILITY approach - increasing capabilities of people which increase job opportunities,
improve livelihood -

Was this the flow of ur essay?

@Ravsyou can achieve 300 only if you've written the rest of the answers really well leading to 70% marks per answer. And for bakar answers 20% marks at max. So 70% of 400 + 20% of 100 = 300

Define a bakar answer.
