πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Not this I guess. I will be carrying face mask only. In Instructions it is written face mask/face cover 

This looks much more better than face mask!  πŸ˜‚

There's clear cut instructions given in the Admit card in itself. They are asking students to compulsorily wear mask and put off it as when required for confirming your identity. No such words face cover is mentioned in it. Even carrying sanitizer isn't compulsory. One can carry transparent wali, choti si sanitizer ki bottle.

Point 18 mein hai ye mentioned (face cover)🧐

One more example of where "logics" Failed me was a question on "dwarasamudra" Probably in case 2020 or 2019.. 

I was like dwarasamudra sounds like gateway of India, so must be in maharasthra... 

And boy,, I was soo wrong.. 

Not to say that logics don't help, but we can not rely on them 100%.. 

Kya pata meri hi kismat khraab hai, mere logics hi illogical hote hain shayd πŸ₯΅

Mistake in these is acceptable. But How to guess these qns if you don't know all provisions of scheme. 

Which of the following are the objectives of 'National Nutrition Mission'?


1. To create awareness relating to malnutrition among pregnant women and lactating mothers.


2. To reduce the incidence of anaemia among young children, adolescent girls, and women.


3. To promote the consumption of millets, coarse cereals, and unpolished rice.


4. To promote the consumption of poultry eggs.


Select the correct answer using the code given below:

  1. 1 and 2 only
  2. 1, 2 and 3 only
  3. 1, 2 and 4 only
  4. 3 and 4 only

My confusion wud be b/w A and C

I think we can discount statement 4 considering that India has the maximum proportion of vegetarians in the world. Don't think any scheme can change such food habits.


However, what made you discount statement 3?

India has roughly 20 to 33% proportion of vegetarian population. Also egg is consumed by many people who don't eat non veg . NE states, coastal states,  much higher proportion . govt also promotes egg consumption .remebr old sachin,sehwag,dravid advertisement of promoting egg by The National Egg Co-Ordination Co. 

NNM targets to reduce stunting, under- nutrition, anemia (among young children, women and adolescent girls) and reduce low birth weight  . It does not mention  specifically to promote the consumption of millets, coarse cereals, and unpolished rice and poultry eggs. I left out 3 because they are not consumedwidespread especially in populous state of UP where there is highest malnutrition. answer is  A (from official answer key UPSC CSE 2017  series A Q.23)
