From article ..so said

Renewable Push

The Indian government has strongly committed to its targets of reducing emissions by 33 per cent by 2030, as set out during the COP21 summit in Paris, and towards this it has initiated a strong push towards a gas-based economy and has also invested heavily in renewable energy. The business opportunities this presents has not been lost on the international business community, according to Mr Carroll. However, he also warned against investing too heavily in renewable energy at a time when the technology is not yet ready.

“You have to bring renewables at the right time so you aren’t trying to bring them to market before they are actually ready,” Mr Carroll said. “In which case you are left with inefficient and costly subsidies for technologies that may be irrelevant in the near future.”

“India has a tremendous potential for solar energy,” he added. “We all realise that we have to stop burning dead dinosaurs to get our fuel. But certain renewables are still going through their cost curves and learning curves to get the required amount of output and to jump into it too big too soon leads to inefficient subsidies.”

Repeating again:

those who are in borderline in paper 1 or paper 2 or both..just study..instead of looking endless times through solutions.

time is less this time

for CSE  any one above 90 has good chance

for  IFOS any one with 105-106 has good chance

and specific for paper two - Those who are in 64-65-66 range..just start studying.. RC most Coaching’s get it wrong..every year many who are in this situation end up clearing paper 2

the exam was tough ..both paper 1 and paper 2 was tricky very much...

also with covid lockdowns and additional mental strains, dnt be harsh on urself for not being able to perform well

All the best guys and girls..

@Tokyo 

it is either 3 or 123 for dams monsoon RC

but since author emphasizes only on creating space prior to monsoon.. will second option be wrong..hence 3 only

For statement 3

The world over, dams are constructed mainly for the purposes of irrigation, power generation, and flood control. While the first two roles are acknowledged, the role of dams in flood control has always been underestimated. It is unfortunate that in both irrigation and hydel projects, flood control is completely ignored. 

For statement 2

However, it is unfortunate that the maximum amount of water is stored in reservoirs even before the close of the monsoon, only to ensure greater electricity generation and irrigation.

(Note risk is due to electricity generation and irrigation both...not hydropower alone)

hence most likely answer is 3 only here

Also the overall crux of article is “


There should be space for greater storage of water in reservoirs before the onset of monsoon

this year as well..looks so Prima facie

focus on next part ie. mains


6.5k views
AI looks so to me
maybe preamble legal thing

rest i dnt think any are doubtful

OTOH variations in different institute keys for paper 1 are less this year

this is as per me


6.6k views
The author is emphasizing before monsoon at nearly 3-4 places

Space in reservoirs

In view of all these problems and to ensure that the flood control purpose of dams is met, it is important that at least 30% of the storage capacity of dams be kept free before the monsoon. 

The meteorological department can predict rains or cyclones only a few days in advance. Therefore, keeping space in reservoirs before the monsoon begins must be done whether or not there are heavy rains, as no State can afford to take risks in the manner that Kerala did.

There should be space for greater storage of water in reservoirs before the onset of monsoon

During monsoon he is asking to store excess water due to rain

so 3 only

I am afraid your Assertion is wrong
from article

” If cities were rich enough to meet the entire cost, water could be delivered free. They are not, and therefore they have to charge. Unfortunately, politicians are reluctant to charge even when consumers may be willing to pay, more especially if it leads to better delivery of good quality water.”

if cities arnt rich they have to collect user charge to meet sustainable delivery of water
No where it says ‘only’ rich cities can give free water.
 Hence no first option


 All the best

A lot of you have been messaging me in inbox. 
Except monsoon dam and renewable subsidy (Second part) (2 questions) ..i am sure of RC answers

monsoon can be C or D.
renewable subsidy second part can be A or D

because author hasnt given verbatim sentences rather modified the ‘high risk’ and ‘storage capacity statement’ .... same in ‘ inefficient subsidies’

so cnt say surely

rest 23 questions are fine

all the best

and stop going endlessly via keys
especially shankar keys.has loads of mistake

Hope all clear through. Best wishes.

@Waghmare_mahesh No where its mentioned such. Paddy Stalks doesnot decompose fast As it has high silica content, it is also firm hence not amicable to use rotavator (to cut left over stalks) after using combined harvester For harvesting. hence they choose to burn it as its easy. 
But in pulses the straw isnt firm and gets decomoosed fast..hence easy to use rotavator to cut it further and allow it to decompose.

Read the source article for better clarity.

No amount of haggling and discussing will change what all have marked or whats there in the official key. 

Better prepare for mains as competition if sky high now on

if one is sure of clearing obviously should start
if one is in borderline again one should start mains as these days put up on speculating and discussion can impact tremendously later

move on from prelims mode to mains mode

2015 prelims


. In which of the following activities are Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites used? 
1. Assessment of crop productivity 
2. Locating groundwater resources 
3. Mineral exploration 
4. Telecommunications 
5. Traffic studies

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

(a) 1, 2 and 3 only 
(b) 4 and 5 only 
(c) 1 and 2 only 
(d) 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

similar option formulation to AI

if one goes with 123 and 5 as applications of remote sensing...then i wl have to mark 12345..but telecommunication is done by communication satellites we know that..

hence most apt is 123 only ignoring 5th option .hence one doesnt know

just Posted here as someone was arguing 1234 is right and hence 5th option must be right for AI.

Guys regarding the critical tiger habitat question, I have submission to make. Wiki mentions that the core area of Nagarjun-Srisailam Tiger Reserve is "The core area of this reserve is 1,200 km2(460 sq mi)". Whereas, the Core zone of the Sundarban National Park is having an area of 1330.12 sq km (http://www.wildbengal.com/sundarban.php).

I don't want to say this is wrong or right, only want to know if there is some critical info with you guys. Thanks.

13. Dam monsoon answer is D
Why d ? And not c 
From the editorial 

Authorities always look to store the maximum amount of water in reservoirs during the monsoon season, which is then used for irrigation and generation of electricity during the summer months.....
However, it is unfortunate that the maximum amount of water is stored in reservoirs even before the close of the monsoon, only to ensure greater electricity generation and irrigation....

The tendency to hold the maximum amount of water in our reservoirs while ignoring the high risk involved in doing so can be attributed to our over-dependence on hydel projects to produce electricity
. 
So not only before but also during the monsoon storage capacity should not be fully used .and also verbatim over independence on hydropower projects . So D is 100% correct answer.

18 biotech regulation first part answer  D second part C 
203888898-Genetically-Modifi-Ed-Crops-Policy-Logjam.pdf
Why d and not b 

Need for Public Engagement
Over the years, many organisations in-
cluding the Royal Society of the United 
Kingdom (UK) have called for engage-
ment with the public on S&T issues so 
that the public’s perceptions and under-
standing of S&T are understood by policy-
makers. It has been pointed out that the 
idea that the public needs only educa-
tion to be convinced and that better 
communication would do this no longer 
holds good. Public engagement has to be 
differentiated from one-way communi-
cation, public relations exercises, or 
marketing 
So public engagement is there 

Now about political executive 
..
Principles for Regulation
Regulation of biotechnology is an evolv-
ing process and there is always a need 
to compare domestic regulations with 
best practices elsewhere and enhancing 
the capacity to regulate. Similarly, the 
regulation of a technology cannot be 
determined by a single principle but 
would need the application of more than 
one principle depending on the need 
and context. For example, environmental 
regulation cannot be based solely on the 
precautionary principle, or the “polluter 
pays” principle. Rather, what is required 
is a carefully developed regulatory policy 
based on various relevant principles and 
their application in specifi c contexts.
In that sense, biotechnology regulation 
has come a long way since the late 1980s 
and early 1990s when biotechno logy reg-
ulation was taking shape. In fact, over the 
years the global regulation of biotechnol-
ogy and national regulatory policies has 
undergone a sea change on account of 
various factors but there is no harmonisa-
tion at the global level. According to a 
study on global regulation of biotech-
nology, as many as 15 institutions are rel-
evant for biotechnology regulation while 
many conventions/treaties/protocols are 
also applicable in biotechnology regu-
lation (Rhodes 2010). For example, the 
Cartagena Protocol on Bio safety has 
many provisions that are d irectly relevant 
for the regulation of b iotechnology. Of 
these, Article 26 is important as it enables 
countries to take into account socio-eco-
nomic aspects in decision-making. How-
ever, there is no consensus on putting it to 
practice and besides the usual United 
States and European Union divide, there 
is a wide variance in putting it to practice 
among developing countries.

Political executive as a verbatim is not given but regulations like Cartagena protocol needs ratification by poltical executive 

So answer is D 100% 

19. Economic liberalisation first part C or A ( only doubt in Rc I have ) 
second part D 
 
First part 1. Statement is verbatim 
  ......the article argues that it 
is absolutely essential to rethink and redefi ne the economic 
role of the state in the quest for development. 
2nd statement  not a verbatim but I read the whole pdf and what I concluded that govt has not effectively implemented the policies after 1991 reforms and investment in social sectors , but since verbatim is not there so upsc can go in both direction , statement may be correct or incorrect so. Answer ( A or C ) first part .

2nd part  very logical 
And also verbatim 
....
Jobless Growth, Persistent Poverty, Rising Inequality
The fi rst persistent crisis is the phenomenon of jobless growth. 
The biggest failure of the past 25 years is that, despite such 
rapid economic growth, employment creation has simply not 
been commensurate. In fact, the employment elasticity of output 
declined steadily from reasonably high levels during 1972–73 
to 1983 (0.60) through modest levels during 1983 to 1993–94 
(0.41), .........
The second persistent crisis is that poverty persists on a large scale even after three decades of the most rapid economic growth, faster than anywhere in the developing world, as also in history, except for China. Of course, growth has helped bring about a signifi cant reduction in absolute poverty. Yet, its 
incidence remains high. In 2011–12, at least 25%, possibly 30%, Of 1.2 billion people live in absolute poverty below the critical minimum in terms of food and clothing. These are the peren-
nial poor. If we were to use a higher poverty line that allows 
for other basic needs such as appropriate shelter, adequate healthcare and education, it is estimated that about 75% of the population lives in absolute poverty. 

So 2nd part answer  D 100%

351639521-Liberalisation-by-Deepak-Nayyar.pdf20

20. gas renewables
 
First part C  , verbatim 

......However, he also warned against investing too heavily in renewable energy at a time when the technology is not yet ready.
“You have to bring renewables at the right time so you aren’t trying to bring them to market before they are actually ready,” 
 So C is 100% correct 

Part 2 
1st statement verbatim 
certain renewables are still going through their cost curves and learning curves to get the required amount of output and to jump into it too big too soon leads to inefficient subsidies.”
2nd statement verbatim 
...The Indian government has strongly committed to its targets of reducing emissions by 33 per cent by 2030, as set out during the COP21 summit in Paris, and towards this it has initiated a strong push towards a gas-based economy and has also invested heavily in renewable energy.
 
Though gas is not sole basis for renewable energy but 2nd statement doesn't use extreme word like only on th basis of gas based economy so 2nd statement is 100% correct .
So  Answer is C 100% correct .

@Upright but as a general rule
If the statement is not found in verbatim it's mostly likely wrong 
So answer comes out be 
1.eco lib frst part a
2.biotech frst part b


Is this what you have marked in sheet?

a couple of years back i was scoring 65 in csat with all the keys.

then i thought why shouldnt i search articles myself .atleast will know the passage answers.

and i searched.

voila! 2 more passages got right.

i was unsure but believed the answers from answers were right.

it was right in the end and did clear 

so u can trust the article sources much more than so called keys.

all the best. wish all u succeed.

keep calm and prepare.

How much were you getting?

I was getting 117 from Vision, but could not qualify for IFS.

Around 110 without controversy..some questions would have turned around (but i dnt come in general cat.)

8.8k views

lostsaid

cutoff might be in 97-100 range but atleast 2 answers of vision ias, insights key flipped from upsc keys. 

Bhai turn off the laptop and phone..dnt think too much..give rest to mind and body..then think with a clear mind

the phase just after result is shocking most times and too many negative thoughts in mind..hence just take rest for now..

take care

takecare

Out

116 in GS 1 (Shankar keys) 

70 in csat (Byjus). 

7th attempt, sincerely 6th attempt. Wrote 2 mains n missed interview by ~20 marks previously. Any gyan as to how to handle post pre result days ?? 

Stay off from social media..spend time only one your own self for next 3 days..dnt be harsh on urself..dnt think about upsc exam at all for three day...divert mind somehow..movies, friends in videocall etc....after third day when u have a clear mind , then think of next steps about this exam or any alternative or anything else...all the best..takecare..

@Aurang_mirasudar very much expected. I found myself struggling with some numerical questions although I've always aced apti and of course the paragraph based questions are always vague AF. Adding it's own bit towards the unfairness of this exam.


True dude..these passages dnt make sense at all..the way they are framed..random paragraphs And verbatim quoted from regular articles as answers..how can one answer it without the fulll articles being given..unfair this is...over and above the exam stress..over above it covid stress this year..


anyways takerest..dnt think too much for nw..

I failed, any suggestion what to tell "friends" calling to ask about result !

You should realise they arenot ‘friends’ but people who like to be happy at others miseries (but their might be some out of genuine concern, u can be honest to them..they will definitely support irrespective of ur result)

Most important is that to have the inner strength to standup again 

Your utility will diminish once people start seeing you not clearing few exams (will not call them failures )(because we tried )

Second successive prelims failure of mine and cried a lot after it 

My parents said we don't want this exam what we want is you and probably not like this 

Will pick up all my effort to give it a try again 

Take adequate rest..let the mind and body heal a bit before undertaking next plunge into preparation.

takecare!
