Sir, I've got 124 too in essay (mock test ) but 75 , 49 .Second essay I've got a comment as "conclusion unexplored" what does that meant? (And the 2nd Essay was "Freedom is to be acheived not given" ) something. May be i was confused for the 2nd essay.@IWRA
conclusion thoda accha hona chahiye, giving a finality to the thought..maybe the reader did not find that finality.

I know you're busy with Prelims but whenever you come across something - some quote or example in newspaper editorial or otherwise which can be used in some pub adm answer do care to share .... more than helping others it will polish your own skills . This will not take much time and atleast I can evaluate . I can assure this will be highly beneficial .

My best wishes to you all . Remember-
The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried . (that's if you consider me to be master?)

P.s I have started with diagram work ... lets see kitna ho paata hai?

@doodlebeanIndia’s regulatory cholesterol universe; 60,000+ compliance rules, 3,600+ filings, and 5,000+ changes every year.

These lines sums up the shift towards laissez faire state from the concept of extended state. Focuses on steering role of state rather than rowing.

It suggests in favour of NPM/ NPS by supporting the idea of competition and efficiency while negating the idea of welfare state and providing incentive without work which would add extra burden to the already overburdened state.

Highlight low productivity in terms of firms, sectors, geographies and skills thus calls for proper public policy making specific to the geographies, firms , sectors etc. with proper planning and execution and feedback mechanism.

We are far from the productivity frontier, short on resources, and don’t have to be Western to be modern.( CPA, adopt the best practices relevant to particular geographies needs and demands)

Bhai my score last year was 250...
Scored 213 this year..

What worked for you? You scored really well this year... If you have mock copies for both the attempts, it would be good way to get insights on where you improved..

The role of IAS/IPS officers in Kerala flood and Fani cyclone handling in Odisha shows how we need civil servants as the guardian of the society.

These examples can be used in P1/P2 papers.

Perry's public service motivation (PSM) model explains the motivational factors for going beyond expected role for these officials. ( Pub Ad linkages).

Frederickson's administrative conjunction theory was also in play as bureaucrats shared their experiences going beyond hierarchies and geographical jurisdictions.

It was also an example of network governance as civil servants were aptly supported by civil society.

It was also an example of digital governance as crucial information of evacuation, coordination, help needed etc were shared and tracked through Facebook, Twitter.

It was also an exercise in pursuation and leadership as the senior IAS/IPS officers have to lead the walk, motivate the team and appeal to people directly convincing them for early evacuation.

All this also highlight why Warren Bennis's "eclipse of bureaucracy" is not going to be completely implemented in days to come. Why Bureaucracy is going to be relevant.

It seems #Vision2020 for me after checking keys?,I thought I've given it well til I've checked various keys now,don't know how to face all : relatives ,colleagues, neighbours - everyone would be laughing when they knew I couldn't clear this exam.And will give free advices (especially for girls ).
But one thing is clear I'm gonna start my prep again from today,will not leave PubAd nor UPSC till I clear.
