Lack of self-assessment silently kills your IAS preparation. Know where you stand! Take this 5 seconds self-assessment test for 2022
This is the cycle that makes or breaks a UPSC aspirant’s dreams. Follow this cycle and you will become an IAS officer.

The cycle has 4 elements: Study, Assessment, Feedback, And Improvement. Every aspirant studies and they study almost similar things. While almost everyone improves with time, the difference between success and failure lies in the ‘assessment’ and ‘feedback.’

When was the last time you assessed yourself? Anyways there is no harm in doing that again. Just be honest and take this simple 5 seconds self-assessment test to know where you stand in terms of your preparation and improvement.

We will tell You What To Do Next (Click Here)

Before we move forward you must understand these things:
1. UPSC is a long drawn process. A marathon.
2. There will be UPs and DOWNs in your preparation.
3. You have to maximise UPs and minimize DOWNs and stay consistent with the UPs.
4. Peak at the RIGHT time.
If you fall in the Green Zone, excellent! But you have to maintain this:

(ask us how!)

But if you fall in RED Or ORANGE Zone, It’s a crisis!

If you are in the RED or ORANGE Zone:

Bamboo Sector:

Bamboo-based technologies with a green material approach
- NECTAR is working on bamboo-based construction and structural applications with a green material approach.
- Huge industrial applications of bamboo have been identified.
- Under this effort, support is being provided to the projects related to structural engineering and in development of bamboo composites by utilizing the natural higher tensile strength and a weight-to-strength ratio of the material.
- In the areas of the development of technologies related to wood substitutes and composites, various relief and rehabilitation projects using bamboo composite material and prefabricated housing units have been initiated.
- Gasifiers based on bamboo have been developed to produce clean and renewable electricity, and a range of valuable by-products such as high-grade charcoal has also been developed.
Schemes of technology solutions for employment generation:
- The Centre is offering two major schemes to NER: TOSS – Technology Outreach and Service Scheme and BAANS – Bamboo Applications and Support Scheme.
- The schemes are targeted for building and expanding partnerships with people, communities, local bodies, NGOs, SHGs and research and technology institutions.
- TOSS is an umbrella scheme of NECTAR to establish linkages with individuals and institutions to deliver technology solutions to the NER which have clear potential to generate social or economic growth in the region.
Conclusion
- NECTAR is playing an important role in the development of NER.
- It is very important to connect the technologies with common people, various organizations, entrepreneurs, and farmers so that the mandate of that technology can be proved.
- People from the NER should take advantage of the technologies developed and supported by NECTAR.
- Successful case studies of NECTAR must be shared at the Krishi Vigyan Kendras of NER, NGOs, various community centres, innovation centres, entrepreneurial organisations, colleges and universities so that every section of the NER can be benefited with the technological applications.
