UPSC-CSE is not only one of the toughest exams of the world, but one of the longest as well. An exam that is a year long, needs a preparation of 2 years to clear it.
Some of us have family responsibilities that cannot and should not be neglected. Maybe you are the only earning member of your family. But, is it impossible to juggle UPSC CSE and work? Not at all. It might be challenging, but it’s an achievable ambition. One needs the discipline to study everyday, whether they had a good or a bad day at work.
All aspirants get only 24 hours in a day, how they spend every hour determines their final result.
Does this mean there will be no scope for rest as a Working Junta? Don’t be surprised if we tell you toppers like Srishti Jayant Deshmukh (AIR 5, 2018) and Roman Saini (AIR 18, 2013) found time to take breaks in between their college studies (engineering and medical respectively) and UPSC preparation! While Srishti took a 5 minute break after every 30 minutes, Roman took a 10 minute break after every 1 hour.

When we asked Vaibhav Rawat and Ravi Kumar their secret of topping the exam despite working 8-9 hours everyday, their answer was time management and syllabus completion.
Instead of complaining about the limited time they had, they completed modules assigned by us within that time. Sometimes, they got 6 hours in a day and sometimes 5 hours. But after office, they never let the stress of work distract them. Nor did they compare their preparation to other full-time aspirants and get demotivated.
Every topper has their own time-management technique. As a working junta, its about time you learnt them. This is what Sudhanshu Sir will address in this upcoming webinar. You will not only get to know how to balance work and study in a day, but also when to take breaks in between the two!

Child protection is a human rights issue, and it comes under the purview of the legislative framework.
In 1989, an international agreement, ‘The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child’ (UNCRC) was adopted.
It legally binds the governments to set out the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights of every child.
On 11 December 1992, India ratified UNCRC, making it a landmark encouragement for the Indian Government to develop progressive legislation to safeguard child rights.
Covid-19 and Girls
Socio-economic impacts of Covid-19 are gendered, evident in the form of educational inequality, sexual violence, and increased household burden.
Increased domestic violence: In India, the National Commission for Women reported 2.5 times increase in domestic violence during the initial months of nationwide lockdown.

School dropout: UNESCO’s Global Education Monitoring Report (2021) throws light on increased educational inequalities for adolescent girls during the Covid-19 crisis. UNESCO estimates that around 11 million girls may not return to school.
School Closures pushed Children into Labour: In 2021, says UNESCO, 24 million children may not find their way back to schools after the pandemic. Any child who is not in school is a potential child labourer.
Child Marriages: India witnessed an increase in the number of child marriages since 2020. Girls are further at risk – married off early, these child brides are also often child labourers.
Reduced Education Budget: Despite knowing the impact of Pandemic on education system & thus on Children’s future, the Union budget has Rs 5,000 crore less to spend on education for children this year.
Digital gender gap: The digital gender gap deters girls’ remote education and access to information.
Various policy initiaitives

Hygiene: Ujjwala sanitary napkin at minimal cost under Suvidha scheme will support menstrual hygienic among girls.
Child labourprotection: The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2016 has been enacted to make sure girls are not indulged in child labour and instead get education.
Sexual abuse: Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 provides strict punitive action in case of sexual abuse against the child.
Protection against offences: Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 seeks to safeguard the rights of children in conflict with the law, and those in need of care and protection. Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS) was launched in 2009 to build a protective environment for children in difficult circumstances.
In 2020, the National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights launched Standard Operating Procedure for Care and Protection of Children in Street Situations.
Way Forward
Ensuring a gender-responsive child protection system amid crisis is paramount.
Educate families about the detrimental impacts of the household burden on young girls. Enable families to empower their daughters through education and household decision-making.
Overcome gender bias in education – gender-neutral school curriculum, pedagogy, and environment. Challenge the gender discriminatory attitudes of students and present role models. Ensure safe and gender-responsive reopening of schools.
Engage children to voice and act against child marriage in the community. Ensure that girl safety is a collective responsibility.
Lead advocacy, campaigns, and activism to echo girl child protection with zero tolerance for heinous crimes against minor girl child. Prevention is to be prioritized in legal frameworks and not merely relief and compensation.
Strong protection net for most vulnerable- safety of orphaned. abandoned girl child, girls living in street situations, those in institutions with girl child of prisoners, and commercial sex workers to be prioritized.
Gender-responsive training of police and other duty bearers. Focus on prohibition. prevention, regulation, rehabilitation, and restoration services.
Educate girls about cyber safety particularly adolescent girls. Spread awareness on measures to stay safe on social media platforms and prompt reporting of potential threats.
A gendered approach to disaster risk mitigation. Identify gendered vulnerabilities and gender-responsive mitigation strategies in events of disasters, emergencies, and humanitarian crises. Empower young girls to act on climate change.
Encourage young girls to take environmental issues to Bal Panchayats and other platforms. Prioritise climate change in school curriculum and pedagogy to encourage girls to be the leaders of tomorrow.
