 General issues on Environmental Ecology, Bio-diversity and Climate Change - that do not require subject specialisation - mentioned in cse prelims notification

The paper is targeted towards creating level playing field between science and non science students. Isliye zyada technical dimag lagane se answer galat hi hoga.

Pressure cooker ho,magnetite ho,virus wala ho ya koi aur question ho. Jo commonly acceptable fact ho usi ko upsc answer manegi.

@Aurang_mirasudar 

in that epfo source that you shared, it’s apparent that the notification is applicable to establishments with 20 or more workers only. So it’s clear that it’s not applicable to ALL casual workers. Hence, can we conclude that statement 1 is wrong ? Kindly clarify sir

The only exam when one is nervous before,during,after exam and even after result


before- exam pressure and syllabus+ coaching induced fear

during - exam hall pressure as entire year at stake

after- entire year at stake,wrong answers in keys, directionless,result tension

after exam- tension about keys or what went wrong in marking


😤

I am no one to decide..the meaning is applies to all casual workers working in firms..since it talks about epfo naturally all institutions wil 20 or more workers are Only being talked..i think so

Right now i am feeling utterly clueless. I am unmoored. I was happy eating samosa with chutney and suddenly my father started quizzing me on rivers. Dhauli meets ganga where, Which tributary joins at rudraprayag etc etc. As soon as he asks me something it seems something in me goes missing. He shouted at me a lot, saying stuff like "you don't study that's why you don't succeed"  "You are useless in all aspects, right now you should stand with your head bowed and you are crying like this. You have an attitude problem." 

I am thinking about two options. Either I should run away or I should die. I know I sound melodramatic as hell but I just can't take it anymore. I don't have any way out. I am not smart enough or I don't work hard enough I don't even know anymore. I have saved some 30-35k and I am genuinely thinking of running somewhere, eating a lot have fun and then go die somewhere quiet in a way that won't bother anyone. I don't think I have anything to give to this world anyway. I am sorry for dumping all of this here, I know this is not the place for it. Everyone here has their own problems and are fighting them. I know nobody wants to hear me whine. Goodbye. This is my second and last comment on forum. I don't what i will do for now but I am done with all 

You dont know stories of people half a decade back who were in far worser situations despite a good background. My story being one and things got worse even after changing directions! But i stood still and recovered slowly from negativity and failure! Some people will want to hear you out, yes it may not be the right place, but no thread is greater than humanity! So please relax, and see to it that happiness is a state of mind! 

As far as parental support is concerned, even educated parents will not understand the difficulty level and the level of competition! You can never make them understand, i bet! and in India you cannot do without them either. My one cent here is play smart with them and never let their words and attitude bother you! Also kindly think you are not at all alone. For you present state of mind, having some Gratitude can help. How? Read on...

Given a birth, you were born as the gifted species, human...and also in a middle class which is able to offer you food/ education (considering millions who dream about education and  a second time food in a day is a distant dream for the BPL) So now you see how happy you should be in comparison! If your happiness is determined by being in 0.1 percent in a lot, you are already one...then its just that the thought process that doesn't help us! 

There are multiple avenues to excel, I know its not easy to get motivation when you are invested in to the process, and the emotional investment is the hardest to break! But still, if there are 50,000 serious aspirant it will take 50 years to fill them all! So knowing the numbers it is wise to reduce risks along the way! Please ping me should you feel like and see Diwali is around, of the 30K, how about getting some new clothes and crackers (if I may suggest:-)

the question is not actually talking about epfo in general. The question clearly mentions, “ with respect to casual workers employed in India “. So the question is about casual workers in general and not epfo.

@prachimalik1121311 In my opinion, answer here will be D. The more important word here is "may" and not "lethal", and the most important word is "concern". Try to negate the CO statement, which is kind of absurd saying there is NO possibility at all that CO can escape in the environment given that it is a known hazard for copper smelting plant workers. Lethal doesn't necessarily mean a big amount. All the best.
