Impact of digital technology as reliable source of input for rational decision making is a debatable issue. Critically evaluate with suitable example.
How you attempted it in such haste. It says impact being debated. And, then puts critically evaluate and examples too in question header.
Wrote about fake news - ex Assam lynching of audio engineers due to rumour of baccha chor.
Cyber warfare - ex Russian interference US elections , troll farms to push propaganda and sow division in society.
Governance - reliance on digital tools for PDS leading to exclusion due to fingerprints not matching or seeding issues. And govt claiming it as weeding out of fake beneficiaries.
Waki yaad nhi it was a one sided answer i think. Couldn't bring out the debatable aspect.

Wrote negative effects:
In professional sphere: can affect duty-objectivity- ex CJI expressed worries about social media influencing judges' decisions
personal sphere->ex fake news-propaganda -> hatred - mob lynching
positives:
in profession/public spare: ex more data->evidence based policy making ->more rational decisions. Also more participation.
positive in private sphere: e-commerce, entertainment(recommendations)
double-edged sword, rational use needed for rational decision making
So need to verify veracity & use multiple sources etc to arrive at conclusions
Filled the pages 😶

in positives i wrote about"anticipatory governance", use in planning and policy formulation, eg disaster management by hazard mapping done by digital modelling tools, etc in negatives i wrote about how lack of digitalsation is itself a problem in India, issues of data security as well as obvious limitations of digital technology. I wrote about failure of bhawantar bhugtan Yojana in madhya pradesh due to lack of digitisation of land records.
i wrote more but I'd be honest i am unable to recall anything else rn

Which paper did this question come in? 😂 I don't even remember writing an answer for a question like this fml
A general doubt
In GS answers ,I answered the core aspect and maybe add another dimension either social/economic in most question that's the maximum dimensions I must have presented
Some model answers suggest all PESTEL dimensions , will that approach fetch more marks even when questions were too specific ?
