Students who are going to sit for up pcs today

Everyone will say you have done enough, relax go for it, BEST OF LUCK

Okay

Only you know what you have done!

And Trust me that's enough

Don't worry ohh my 1 test is left my revision is left
Blah blah

Pre-exams are like elimination-type exams

Even the most intelligent- intellectual individual will know only about 50-60 questions, rest s/he will do on the basis of his/her experience of the whole life - whole life doesn't mean just preparation years but the common sense a candidate develops a character he/she develops

The character here means the ability to think under pressure in that particular time slot of 40-50 seconds

As NIKE has a tagline
"Just do it"

I would like to say

Bhaiio aur unki behenooo

Mere mitrooo

Kuch nhi rakha tension lene ke rakhne mee !


Okay

Whatever you know
Just stick to it

Be confident in your logic on your instinct

Just stick to it and do it

DONT DISCUSS with anyone
Not even with yourself until the whole process is over

Forget everything till tomorrow

And most importantly relax and enjoy

Do some meditation before you start the exam and remember everyone who said you can't!

That fire will keep you warm for the day !

Go play hard !

May the force be with you

Go with the flow bcoz the flow is with you

Your ishwar-allah-guru-parents-purvaj is watching over you !

You are the gods' favourite child ! Always remember that !

Im turning into an ALL-INDIA PCS MENTOR now 😅😅

WATER ACT 2024

Water is the heartbeat of our planet. Let's keep it clean, flowing, and accessible to all.


♦️ Water Act 1974 and Need for Amendment

● Aligns governance with trust in citizens and institutions.

● Original provisions imposed imprisonment for minor violations, causing undue harassment.

● Aims to promote
Ease of Living and Ease of Doing Business
by rationalising penalties.

♦️ Key Highlights of the Water Act 2024

1. Introduction and Applicability

● Initially applicable to Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, and union territories.

● Other states can adopt through resolutions.

2. Decriminalization and New Penalties

● Replaces imprisonment for many offences with monetary penalties (₹10,000 to 15 lakh).

● Failure to pay penalties can result in imprisonment (up to 3 years) or doubled fines.

3. Consent Exemptions for Industries

● Central government, with CPCB consultation, may exempt specific industries from SPCB consent requirements.

● Tampering with monitoring devices incurs fines of ₹10,000 to 15 lakh.

4. SPCB Chairman Appointments:

● Central government prescribes the nomination process, adding oversight to state-determined appointments.

5. Regulations on Pollutant Discharge

• SPCBs can issue immediate stop directives for polluting activities.

• Monetary penalties replace imprisonment for violations.

6. Penalties for General Offences

Fines between ₹10,000 and 15 lakh for offences previously punishable by imprisonment.

7. Adjudicating Officers for Penalties

• Central government appoints adjudicating officers (min. rank: Joint Secretary).

• Appeals go to the National Green Tribunal, requiring 10% penalty deposit.

• Collected penalties fund the Environment Protection Fund.

8. Expanded Cognizance of Offences

Courts can act on complaints filed by adjudicating officers, CPCB, SPCB, or notified persons.

9. Accountability for Government Departments

Department heads fined up to one month's basic salary unless due diligence is proven.

♦️ Key Highlights of New Rules under Water Act 2024

1. Shift from Criminal to Civil Penalties

• Decriminalised violations; penalties replace criminal charges.

• Non-polluting "white" industries exempted from prior permissions.

2. Empowerment of Pollution Control Authorities

CPCB, SPCB, and other authorities can file complaints about violations under key sections of the Act.

3. Role of Adjudicating Officer

• Joint Secretary-level officer oversees complaints and inquiries.

• Alleged violators may respond legally; inquiries must conclude within six months.

Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024: AI Breakthroughs in Protein Research

Why are proteins important? 
- Proteins are essential molecules in all living things. They do almost everything in our bodies, like helping with digestion, providing structure to cells, and fighting diseases. Without proteins, life wouldn’t exist.

---

What did the 2023 Nobel Prize winners do?

1. Who are the winners?
   - David Baker, Demis Hassabis, and John Jumper.
  
2. What did they achieve?
   - They didn’t find new proteins, but they developed amazing tools that help scientists quickly figure out the 3D structure of proteins.
   - Hassabis and Jumper created an AI tool called AlphaFold, which can predict the shape of proteins with great accuracy.
   - Baker used computers to design new, artificial proteins that can do special things that natural proteins can’t do.

---

Why is understanding the structure of proteins important?

- The shape of a protein decides what job it can do. For example, some proteins break down food, others fight infections.
- Figuring out a protein’s shape used to take a long time (months or years), using old methods like x-ray crystallography.
- Now, thanks to these new AI tools, scientists can figure out protein structures much faster and create new proteins that could help solve problems like plastic pollution.

---

What is AlphaFold? 
- AlphaFold is an AI-powered tool that predicts the 3D structure of proteins just by looking at the sequence of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins).
- It uses huge amounts of data to make these predictions, making it much faster and easier than traditional methods.

---

Why does this matter? 
- Understanding and designing proteins faster can help in drug discovery and treating diseases that are linked to protein problems.
- This AI breakthrough makes a huge difference in medical research and other fields that depend on proteins.

---

In short, the Nobel Prize this year went to researchers who developed new AI tools to speed up our understanding of proteins—tools that can predict protein shapes and even create new proteins. These advances are helping scientists solve real-world problems faster!

Global Wildlife Population Decline (WWF Living Planet Report)

1. Overall Decline:
- Global wildlife populations have declined by 73% in the last 50 years.
- Causes: Habitat loss, climate change, over-exploitation, pollution, invasive species, and diseases.

2. Species and Population Trends:
- Based on data from 35,000 population trends and 5,495 species (amphibians, mammals, birds, fish, reptiles).
- Freshwater ecosystems: Most affected with an 85% decline.
- Terrestrial populations: 69% decline.
- Marine populations: 56% decline.

3. Causes of Decline:
- Habitat loss due to unsustainable agriculture, fragmentation, logging, mining.
- Over-exploitation of natural resources.
- Climate change affecting ecosystems.
- Invasive species outcompeting native wildlife.
- Pollution degrading habitats.

4. India's Situation:
- Vultures in India: Alarming decline in the populations of:
- White-rumped vulture.
- Indian vulture.
- Slender-billed vulture.
- Vultures play a crucial ecological role in scavenging carcasses and preventing disease spread.

5. Ecosystem Impacts:
- Species decline affects key ecological functions like:
- Seed dispersal.
- Pollination.
- Grazing.
- Nutrient cycling.
- This could lead to tipping points, where ecosystems fail to recover.

6. Broader Implication
- Wildlife decline triggers *cumulative impacts** on ecosystems, potentially leading to ecosystem collapse.
- Highlights the urgent need for conservation actions to protect biodiversity and ecosystem health.

TIME MANAGEMENT IN MAINS 🕰️

To be able to complete the paper in 3 hours is a task in itself and hence, it is a habit that you must cultivate and nurture all through your journey. Some quick fixes for the same can be :

1. You have to know what you are up against, before you approach it. So the first thing is to actually practice enough mock papers (10-12 in total) within the prescribed time limit. 📝

2. While you attempt these mocks, try to formulate your own strategy on how to attempt the paper.
I used to follow - Q1-5, Q11-20, Q6-10. 👩🏻‍🏫

3. The first and the last half an hour is very crucial. DO NOT START SLOW. Try to gain early momentum. 🤺

4. Time saved is time earned. The two ways to save time are to finish off the prepared questions before time and to steal 1-2 mins from questions that you have absolutely no idea of. (Overthinking in this case won’t help you much). 🙅🏻‍♀️

6. Try not to leave a 15 marker unanswered (shouldn’t be attempted at last). And it is a CARDINAL SIN to leave a question that you know of and hence, the easy and doable questions should be attempted first. ⚠️

7. Try to write quick points wherever possible and avoid paragraphs. Flowcharts and diagrams also help - more information, more space, less time. ♻️

8. Read the entire paper once at the beginning. It will activate your subconscious mind. In the background, your mind will keep recollecting all that it knows of, about that topic and will reduce your recall time. 🧠

And most importantly, do not fear it. With practice, you will achieve the needed coordination between your brain and your hand. It’s all about muscle memory!💯

All the best! ❤️
