Also ye Madam aur is function ke organisers famous nahi hain! Warna aisi jaane kitni FIR aise functions aur Bihar ki shaadiyo pe bhi ho jaate jaha gaali aur Orchestra are more common than the low AQI of country.🤣

Jab Mainstream media clutch me ho to Alternative sources ke narrative me hissa lena hi padega.

Mujhe to ye samajh nahi aata offend aur defend tak baat jaati hi kyu hai.

Sabko pata hai kis format ka show hai par dekhna bhi hai aur bakar bhi karni hai...jokes are jokes some land some don't, words se koi culture ya religion for that matter kaise hurt ho sakta hai😁

jabtak physical harm na ho kisi ko kya lena dena yaar. They are words, words se koi kyu hurt hoga yaar🤣

Aur Samay Raina ke show me Arun Govil wala maahol thode rahega.

ECONOMIC SURVEY 2024-25 DETAILED SUMMARY WITH BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS 2025

How to use this Summary?

The Economic Survey is written as a research and policy document not for Civil Services Exam

Hence cramming entire thing is not needed

For Prelims, focus on Economic Trends like share of different sectors in GDP, wages, employment, export share of different sectors

For Mains, treat each chapter as a question template for GS 2 Governance and GS 3 Indian Economy and Agriculture

Use data and facts to enrich your answer, introduction and conclusion

(Introduction Example- According to Economic Survey 2024, 38% of Farmers depend on XYZ)

Daily spend 20-25 minutes to cover 1 chapter and make notes on an A4 sheet and you will cover the entire thing in maximum 15 days

No need to get nervous and cram entire report

If you want to go extra mile you can solve Vision Prelims Test Series: Economic Survey edition released in March and available in market

All the best 🙏

Expect Economic Survey Summary by Tomorrow Evening

Live lecture to follow soon

Thanks 🙏

I wish I had the same work ethics like him 😕🙏

So many YouTube Videos have been floating around from last 1-2 years where YouTuber asks aspirants to write in comment section positive affirmations so that it will manifest for them.

In real manifestation happens in subconscious mind and writing about dreams in open space that too in YouTube comments only destroys dreams, it does not help.

In real we YouTubers do it to increase the reach of video and it's a pure manipulation from our side. Gullible aspirants get easily manipulated by us and end up helping us instead of helping themselves.

Ideal way: YouTuber should be clarly saying please like and subscribe and comment for the better reach of my video and help me.

Prelims Rapid Revision Series: Books from Nationalist Leaders and Social Reformers

#Prelims2025

3 questions on Books, nationalist leaders wrote, asked in past 11 years

UPSC had asked "Songs From Prison" Book of Gandhi in 2021 Prelims

Interestingly even Gandhi Foundation website maintained by Government doesn't know about this

Some questions on Books are to be left alone, for everything else this PDF will be sufficient

All the best 💯

Few Students in our Prelims Preparatory course enquired how they can use Prelims Resources for Mains

Basically 20-30% Mains Questions across GS 1, GS 2 and GS 3 can be written using Prelims Content if you are able to revise and retain it

Some smartness in crafting it in an Intro-Body-Conclusion format needed

Have discussed a few strategies you can deploy for knowledge transfer from Prelims to Mains

Video available publicly on YouTube Channel

All the best 💯

I have Completed Medieval History 😎

Someone pointed out in today's Prelims prep class, that we promised 400 hours of lectures under the Prelims Preparatory Programme in 4 months

And we have already surpassed that number in 1 and a half 😁

By the end of this year we will ensure anyone who wants to crack UPSC free of cost with self study won't have to look beyond this Telegram channel

This will be applicable for both Prelims and Mains Prep

This was our goal when we started back in 2022

Hopefully We will achieve "AGI" for UPSC Prep

Next in line Prelims PYQ document for Polity, Environment and Geography, Economic Survey and Budget Summary and many more offerings

Thank you for your support 🙏😊

Cohen wrote this song/poem for his father.

Now read it again 😁

What's some of your Favorite Poems?

The Famous Blue Raincoat

~ Leonard Cohen


It's four in the morning, the end of December

I'm writing you now just to see if you're better

New York is cold, but I like where I'm living

There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening

I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert

You're living for nothing now,

I hope you're keeping some kind of record

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair

She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear

Did you ever go clear?

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older

Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder

You'd been to the station to meet every train, and

You came home without Lili Marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life

And when she came back she was nobody's wife

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth

One more thin gypsy thief
Well, I see Jane's awake

She sends her regards
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer

What can I possibly say?

I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you

I'm glad you stood in my way

If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me

Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes

I thought it was there for good so I never tried

And Jane came by with a lock of your hair

She said that you gave it to her

That night that you planned to go clear

they are teaching history optional for free over at youtube!

Hello students,

Most of you have come to this channel through the Youtube channel dedicated History Optional. This channel was started by LevelUp IAS merely 6-7 months ago. As it appears, it is about touching 9000 subscribers and it is already India's largest channel exclusively for History Optional students.

(For those who don't know, here is the link to the History Optional YT Channel)

Please understand that we both, Vishal sir and me, are teachers. We are not content creators or podcasters. Our main objective is to restrict ourself to UPSC CSE demand, although occasionally we end up going perilously close to the limits of its requirement. But I am sure this only helps in deepening our understanding of History as a subject. I am also told that there are many students from various Universities pursuing their BA/MA in History, who also have joined this channel. Some students are also preparing for UGC exam or for state PCS exams. We are only happy to be useful.

Coming to the main point, I guess you all understand the courage it took us to put our entire Optional Foundation course on youtube for everyone. I have been teaching for last 10-11 years now and Vishal sir also almost similar duration. Before coming to LevelUp IAS, he taught in at least half a dozen states to a vast number of students. I used to teach in Vajiram and Ravi and then joined LevelUp IAS. In 2024, we decided to go on Youtube with the entire course. Our idea was two-fold. (1) To reach maximum number of students across India who dont have access to good quality of teaching (self presumptuous..:)) and (2) Refocus our efforts on students at the level of skill building of answer writing, content enrichment, tests and mentorship which requires more time. Daily Foundation classes were not allowing us time to do that earlier. But now we have time for it.

Both Vishal sir and I were also able to come in touch with many new students in this last 6 months. From every nook and corner of India. It was immensely rewarding journey to both of us as well. At personal level, we are also able to read more history books and enrich our content now with more time at disposal.

Now it is almost the end of January 2025. Our entire Foundation course is in public domain. The remaining lectures will be broadcasted in next few days. In this last 6-7 months, except for 2 days where we delayed the posting of the lectures by an hour, there was not a single miss. It was an immense amount of background work and I thank everyone at LevelUp IAS for their relentless, disciplined and creative support.

As most of you are watching these lectures on YT every day, I only request that you like/share and most importantly write comments, either positive, negative, doubts, whatever. Consider this as token of appreciation or guru dakshina of kind. If you write at least one comment for every video you watch, it helps us reach more students. Although we are not podcasters or youtubers, we still cannot escape the rules of Youtube platform.

As our Foundation lectures are coming close, we are planning newer projects for the channel. And in that, wider reach is going to help us a lot. Please consider the request favourably.

Thank you,
Nikhil Sheth

Mixing their Culture with their Cause! Amazing 😍🤩

To conserve the endangered Hargila (Storks) birds in Assam India, Purnima Burman came with an amazing idea of organizing "Hargila Baby Shower" to raise awareness in the community and especially the women 😃

Genius.
