Iron/steel Geography 

Before 1800 A.D. iron and steel industry was located where raw materials, power supply and running water were easily available. Later proximity to coal fields, canals and railways decided the location of iron and steel industry. After 1950, the location of iron and steel industry changed to large areas of flat land near sea ports. Proximity to sea ports was necessary for importing iron ores.

In India, iron and steel industry developed in areas with good availability of raw materials. All the major steel producing centres are in the Chhotanagpur plateau; spread over four states, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Orissa and Chhattisgarh. Bihlai, Durgapur, Burnpur, Jamshedpur, Rourkela and Bokaro are situated in this region. Other important steel centres are; Bhadravati and Vijay Nagar in Karnataka, Vishakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and Salem in Tamil Nadu.

Hi all, 

Could anyone assist me in getting a pdf of blank answer sheets that most accurately mimics the one we get at the actual mains exam?

Any tips on how to deal with weird questions from society, last year had this issue of not being able to think of enough points/content despite preparing the basic topics/themes in a decent way?

Q.) Can the strategy of regional resource-based manufacturing help in promoting employment in India?(2019)
How will you guys go about this question? 

I'm using Rushikesh Reddy's notes. It's handy (29 pages only) + enough content on most topics. 

I don't have forum's pdf right now but you can probably find it on the Epic Channel.
