Downto earth magazine notes : community initiative

**** Update:- All the work allocations are completed**** No new allocations needed now.


1) Notes for DowntoEarth magazine is to made from June-2019 to July-2020 (both fortnights). By entering this voluntary initiative, the participant is self-assertive that he has good notes making skill and he can contribute to 'the common good'.

2) Though I recommend digital notes, feel free to make notes in digital format or on paper. ( just make sure the writing is notdoctorish.) however, if you are making physical notes and if  find any important infographs, copy them and send in separate file.

3) Select an available month and make notes onbothfortnights. Please check the 1st comment to know the available month. If you are new, please pick up your month and let me know so that i can update the muster

4) Lets keep in mind the syllabus and questions-asking pattern of GS-1(physical/human geography aka indian society), GS-2 (IR related / Welfare-Development related) GS-3 (Economy,SnT, Environment) GS-4 (Bio ethics...) while making notes

5) After finishing your notes share the google drive links here

6) Lets make sure that, all of us complete our part of the work by this saturday August-15. 2020. If you can submit your part even before, it's appreciated

7) Downtoearth is available on telegram search "downtoearth11". This is shared purely for knowledge purpose. If you have access to physical copy, it is fine

8) If this initiative is successful, we can proceed with other such magazines to reap maximum benefit. At an individual level, we spend some 5-6 hrs, but we reap a multitude of benefit.

9) Before making notes, it is suggested that we go through the syllabus and previous year papers. This helps us in streamlining our notes

10) The success of this initiative depends on our collective intellect and sincere effort. So, let's be truthful to ourselves and let's make our answers resplendent with quality content (issue specific analysis/case studies/ key statistics/ quotable quotes...)

Yes, but we have already taken up d2e. Let's finish this off for this weekend. If the quality is good, we can also go for other magazines.


Moreover, Yojana gists are available everywhere. I don't know whether people be ready to accept it. Any how let us plan after this project...

@sulawesi  I think it means that thread will be available only for those who are making notes. So the links of notes of other participants will be shared among them only and not to the public. 


Ok, should I select some option here. Or will it be automated.
