Aspirants feel they can reach out to us anytime with their concerns and we are available to sort them out.

    Message from Sajal Sir

    Dear Students,

    For some of you, prelims have never been a challenge for you. You have been missing the main cut-off with a small margin (repeatedly). This means that there are some fundamental issues with your approach. You might be aware or not of this. But just realization is not enough, you have to work on its execution as well. And bringing that to fruition will be possible through a guided process under a meticulously designed plan.

    Note: The Entry is Restricted to those who have appeared in UPSC interviews in the past 2 years or have missed the mains cut off by a whisker.

    The focus is on identifying and highlighting the issues with your preparation (information/analysis / utilization). According to your strength and weaknesses, a tailor-made strategy is developed. Under Sajal sir’s strict monitoring, incremental improvements are aimed every day, after every session.

    My marks in UPSC 2017 GS Mains paper were:

    • GS Paper 1 – 132
    • GS Paper 2 – 125
    • GS Paper 3 – 130

    Key Takeaways About Smash Mains 2023

    Almost 35+ Ranker in the Top 100 of UPSC 2021 is a Civilsdaily Student.

    Your mentor, Sajal Sir is himself the 2017 topper of GS Mains. He has appeared for interviews many times.

    Over 400 students have emerged as toppers under Sajal Sir’s mentorship in the last 7 years.

    Sajal Sir will daily motivate you on our chat-based platform, Habitat, and have weekly 1-on-1 discussions with you after every test.

    You don’t have to waste any more time finding the strategy (value-added notes, test series, or timetable ) for the next 3 months. You will get guidance for it.

    You will gain access to Civildaily’s Samachar Manthan – For holistic and comprehensive coverage of Current Affairs.

    You will have exclusive membership to Smash Mains club in Habitat.

    One of our other Civilsdaily Students cleared the exams in 2020 to become an IPS Officer. He wrote the 2021 exam again as he aims for an IAS posting. This is what he said about our program

    Progression of Smash Mains 2023

    After completing the Mains Test series, you will have a one-to-one detailed and in-depth interaction with Sajal sir. Final refinements are done to every answer. Value addition material, as well as pointers, will be provided here. We will work with you to ensure you have enough material for value addition. Our focus will be on providing tips that add the missing X factor to your answers.

    Why is Smash 2023 the best way to prepare for mains?

    Individual attention and approachability are the USPs of this program. Listen to what our Smash Mains 2020 student and topper Pooja Gupta (AIR 42) says about the program.

    Not putting Penguins among the Fowls – You already know how to write an average answer (you’re missing it by a few marks actually). You want to know how to increase your score from 90 to 110-115. The approach followed by other institutes in their Test series is the same for a veteran and a complete newbie and here lies the problem. Without personalized one-to-one interaction with someone like Sajal sir (who has scored these awesome marks), it will be difficult for you to rectify these minute yet very important shortcomings.

    Evaluation is a strength of this program and we put it on a high priority. Sajal sir himself is involved in the process, unlike other institutes where evaluation is outsourced to those who themselves might not have appeared for mains (It’s bizarre). It shouldn’t be based on ‘model answers’ as there are 3-4 ways of approaching an answer. Only a seasoned player will be able to go beyond these model answers and be able to appreciate your approach (If it’s innovative) even if it differs from the model answers provided.

    Test copies get checked in a time-bound manner. The questions, answers and material provided are of the highest quality.

    Always on time and insightful discussions end with a reality check and motivation to perform better in the next test.

    Emphasis on execution and utilization of knowledge – Mains is not only about knowledge but the way you express the relevant knowledge in the most optimum manner.

    Sajal sir’s interventions are highly specific and not generalized. Sitting right in front of you he walks you through each and every question. Always there, he will not let you lose your focus.

    AIR 148 UPSC 2020 topper and our Civilsdaily student, Ponmani explains why answer writing with mentorship is necessary for Mains.

  • [Yojana Archive] Safeguarding Children

    May 2022

    UPSC 2023 countdown has begun! Get your personal guidance plan now! (Click here)

    Context

    • India has 2.96 crore orphaned or abandoned children, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
    • The Ministry of Women and Child Development reported in its annual report for 2020-21 that there were 2.56 lakh children living in 7,164 child care institutions (CCIs) across the country.
    • 1.45 lakh children were reunited with their birth families after the Supreme Court ordered states to investigate the possibility of reuniting these children in care institutions with their birth families as a pandemic precaution.

    Adoption Laws in India

    (A) The Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956 (HAMA)

    • A Hindu parent or guardian can place a child for adoption with another Hindu parent under the Act.
    • A prospective parent can also adopt a male child if he has no other male children or grandchildren, or a female child if he has no other female children or grandchildren.
    • If the adoptive mother is a woman and the person being adopted is a man, she must be at least 21 years old.
    • After complying with all Act provisions, the adoption process is completed with a registered adoption deed through court.

    (B) Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015

    • The JJ Act also permits the adoption of same-sex children, allowing biological or adopted parents to adopt a child of the same gender.
    • Prospective parents can adopt their relatives’ children whether they live in India or abroad. A single or divorced person can adopt under the JJ Act, but a single male cannot adopt a girl child.
    • A home study is conducted by the Specialised Adoption Agency (SAS) to determine if a person is eligible to adopt a child, and the process ends with an adoption order.
    • SAS and the Authorised Foreign Adoption Agency (AFAA) are required to follow up with the adoptive family for two years after the adoption.

    Reasons for low adoption in India

    • Parent-centrism: The current adoption approach is very parent-centred, but parents must make it child-centred.
    • Age of child: Most Indian parents also want a child between the ages of zero and two, believing that this is when the parent-child bond is formed.
    • Institutional issues: Because the ratio of abandoned children to children in institutionalised care is lopsided, there are not enough children available for adoption.
    • Lineage discrimination: Most Indians have a distorted view of adoption because they want their genes, blood, and lineage to be passed down to their children.
    • Red-tapism: Child adoption is also not so easy task after the Juvenile Justice Rules of 2016 and the Adoption Regulations of 2017 were launched.

    Government Initiatives  

    (1) Mission Vatsalya:  

    • Mission Vatsalya shall include Child Protection Services and Child Welfare Services. It brings together services and structures to help children in distress.

    (2) Mission POSHAN 2.0:  

    • Mission POSHAN 2.0 shall include Umbrella Integrated Child Development Scheme – Anganwadi Services, Poshan Abhiyan, Scheme for Adolescent Girls, and National Creche Scheme.

    (3) Mission Shakti:

    • Mission Shakti envisions a unified citizen-centric lifecycle support system for women that includes integrated care, safety, protection, rehabilitation, and empowerment to free women as they move through different stages of life.
    • ‘Sambal’ and ‘Samarthya’ are two sub-schemes of Mission Shakti.
    • The “Sambal” sub-scheme is for women’s safety and security, while the “Samarthya” sub-scheme is for women’s empowerment.

    (4) PM CARES for Children Scheme:

    • The government announced a special “PM CARES for Children” program for all children orphaned by Covid-19 who lost their parents or single parents or legal guardians or adoptive parents due to Covid-19.
    • These children can also receive support through scholarships or education loans equivalent to tuition fees during their higher education, and the loan interest is paid by the PM CARES Fund.

    (5) CARA

    • Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) is an autonomous and statutory body of the Ministry of Women and Child Development. It was set up in 1990.
    • It functions as the nodal body for the adoption of Indian children and is mandated to monitor and regulate in-country and inter-country adoptions.
    • CARA is designated as the Central Authority to deal with inter-country adoptions in accordance with the provisions of the 1993 Hague Convention on Inter-country Adoption, ratified India in 2003.
    • It primarily deals with the adoption of orphaned, abandoned and surrendered children through its associated and recognized adoption agencies.

    Hi Guys, Now it’s time to cross the higher bar. The Main Examination is intended to estimate the overall intellectual qualities and depth of understanding of candidates rather than merely the range of their information and memory. 

    The core and benchmark of questions in the General Studies papers (Paper II to Paper V) will be such that a well-evaluated candidate will be competent to answer them. The questions are likely to test the candidate’s basic understanding of all relevant issues, and ability to analyze & summarize, and take a view on conflicting socio-economic goals, objectives, and demands. And you must give applicable, meaningful, and succinct answers. 

    So, acknowledging the need to ensure framing a rule of thumb to answer only what the question demands, Civilsdaily has been providing some advanced, single-source UPSC-CSE Mains Programs. Our 2021 Hall of Fame rankers have to say that If there’s a one-stop, time-saving platform available to clear UPSC mains, it is CD’s mains 1-1 mentorship Programs.

    The Hindu has acknowledged CD’s Mains Mentorship Programs.

  • [Sansad TV] Diplomatic Dispatch: India-Myanmar Relations

    UPSC 2023 countdown has begun! Get your personal guidance plan now! (Click here)

    Context

    • In this article, we will examine India’s ties with Myanmar which has been in turmoil since February, 2021.
    • The military had seized control of the country in a coup and detained Aung San Suu Kyi and other leaders of her Parliament.

    Myanmar: A backgrounder

    • Myanmar, also known as Burma, is in South East Asia and neighbours Thailand, Laos, Bangladesh, China and India.
    • The biggest city is Yangon (Rangoon) but the capital is Nay Pyi Taw.
    • The main religion is Buddhism. There are many ethnic groups in the country, including Rohingya Muslims.
    • The country gained independence from Britain in 1948. It was ruled by the armed forces from 1962 until 2011, when a new government began ushering in a return to civilian rule.

    Myanmar under Suu Kyi

    • Aung San Suu Kyi became world-famous in the 1990s for campaigning to restore democracy.
    • She spent nearly 15 years in detention between 1989 and 2010 after organising rallies calling for democratic reform and free elections.
    • She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize while under house arrest in 1991.
    • In 2015, she led the NLD to victory in Myanmar’s first openly contested election in 25 years.

    Myanmar in recent timeline:

    (1) Crackdown on Rohingyas

    • Suu Kyi’s international reputation has suffered greatly as a result of Myanmar’s treatment of the Rohingya minority.
    • Myanmar considers them illegal immigrants and denies them citizenship. Over decades, many have fled the country to escape persecution.
    • Thousands of Rohingya were killed and more than 700,000 fled to Bangladesh following an army crackdown in 2017.

    (2) Military Coup

    • The military is now backing in charge and has declared a year-long state of emergency.
    • It seized control following a general election which Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) party won by a landslide.
    • The armed forces had backed the opposition, who were demanding a rerun of the vote, claiming widespread fraud.
    • The election commission said there was no evidence to support these claims.
    • Suu Kyi is thought to be under house arrest. Several charges have been filed against her, including breaching import and export laws and possession of unlawful communication devices.

    How does the world see Myanmar today?

    • Many western liberal democracies have condemned the military takeover.
    • UN Secretary-General António Guterres said it was a “serious blow to democratic reforms”.
    • US President Joe Biden has threatened to reinstate sanctions.
    • However, the issue has now faded from the geopolitical discourse.

    Chinese pleasure over Myanmar Coup

    China neither condemned nor expressed any concern. It just said that reconciliation is needed between the civilian set-up and Myanmar military or Tatmadaw.

    • China blocked a UN Security Council statement condemning the coup.
    • The country, which has previously opposed international intervention in Myanmar, urged all sides to “resolve differences”.
    • Its Xinhua news agency described the changes as a “cabinet reshuffle”.
    • Neighbours including Cambodia, Thailand and the Philippines, have said it is an “internal matter”.

    An analysis: India-Myanmar Relations

    • India-Myanmar relations are rooted in shared historical, ethnic, cultural and religious ties.
    • As the land of Lord Buddha, India is a country of pilgrimage for the people of Myanmar.
    • The geographical proximity of the two countries has helped develop and sustain cordial relations and facilitated people-to- people contact.
    • Both share a long land border of over 1600 km (approx.) and a maritime boundary in the Bay of Bengal.

    A large population of Indian origin (according to some estimates about 2.5 million) lives in Myanmar. India and Myanmar signed a Treaty of Friendship in 1951.

    India’s interests

    • India needs a good working relationship with the Myanmar government for its diplomatic and strategic initiatives.
    • This is especially due to China’s nefarious designs in Myanmar, which wants to develop it as a geopolitical base against India.
    • Despite Myanmar being ruled by military junta over the years, India has developed close ties and shares a good relationship with Tatmadaw.

    (a) Strategic relations

    • The geographically strategic location of Myanmar makes it a bridge between South Asia and Southeast Asia.
    • Last year, despite facing shortage of its own, India handed over INS Sindhuvir, a submarine, to the Myanmar Navy.
    • Tatmadaw responded well to Indian overtures and even allowed India to conduct counter-interagency operations against Indian insurgents groups in Myanmar border areas.
    • Both nations seek to cooperate to counteract drug trafficking and insurgent groups operating in the border areas.

    (b) Economic Relations

    (c) Humanitarian Assistance

    • India responded promptly and effectively in rendering assistance after natural disaster in Myanmar such as the earthquake in Shan state (2010) Cyclone Mora (2017), and Komen (2015).
    • India offered to help in capacity building in disaster risk mitigation as well as strengthening Myanmar’s National Disaster Response Mechanism.

    What defines China-Myanmar relations?

    China has its own designs and wants to use Myanmar as another base in its ‘string of pearl’ strategy against India. Through the string of pearls approach, China intends to encircle India by developing military bases in India’s neighbouring countries and Myanmar has long been on China’s radar.

    (a) Debt trap diplomacy

    • Burdening Myanmar under Chinese debt trap is the first step of the plan.
    • Under China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC) part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China is funding and developing many big projects in Myanmar that can be used as military bases in future.
    • These infrastructure projects have put Myanmar in massive Chinese debt trap, and accounts for over 40 per cent of the current $10 billion national debt.

    (b) Political interference

    • The second Chinese step was to control the political machinery.
    • Like in Nepal, where China maneuvered to install a pro-Beijing and anti-India group government, Myanmar is expected to witness the same thing with military coup.
    • Geostrategic experts say China instigated Nepal to start the border dispute with India.

    (c) Trade dependence

    • With this second step done, the third step comes into play: making a country your economically held scapegoat.
    • When it comes to bilateral trade with India, it stood at just $1.5 billion dollars in 2019-20, nowhere near that of China.  With China, the bilateral trade is worth $12 billion dollars.
    • But if we go by an official Chinese report quoting the Ministry of Commerce of China, export and import between China and Myanmar was worth $168 billion dollars in 2019.
    • That is huge for a small country like Myanmar.

    Through the prism of Coup

    (a) Impact on India

    While the coup invited international condemnation, not much has changed for India as it has built ties with the Tatmadaw over the years.

    • The handing over late last year of INS Sindhuvir, a kilo-class submarine of the Indian Navy, to the Myanmar Navy, was the most recent sign of the deepening ties between New Delhi and the Tatmadaw.
    • India and China have been competing for influence in Myanmar.
    • If India hadn’t agreed to help Myanmar meet its naval requirements, it would have meant a greater Chinese presence in the Bay of Bengal.

    Senior General Min Aung Hlaing (behind this coup) has made multiple visits to India over the last few years, most recently in 2019, when he met our PM.

    (b) Impact on China

    • India was the largest supplier of weapons and other military equipment to Myanmar in 2019, the last year for which records are available in the SIPRI Military Expenditure Database.
    • Tatmadaw exported military hardware worth $100 million from India that year while it spent only $47 million on Chinese military equipment the same year.
    • This is significant because China has been the largest supplier of weapons to the Southeast Asian country over the decades.
    • The General has also been critical of China, accusing Beijing of providing support to certain insurgent groups in the country, including the Arakan Army in Rakhine state, which the Tatmadaw has been fighting.

    Many rebel groups in Myanmar have been using Chinese-made weapons against the military. This, experts say, rules out a tight embrace of China in the near term.

    Repercussions of the Coup

    • Diplomatic isolation: And with over 50 years of military rule and an isolated status in the world, it seems that most of the relations are held by China alone.
    • Sanctions and embargoes: If the US goes ahead with its threat of sanctions because of the coup, Myanmar will have to turn to Beijing as a shield.
    • New puppet of China: In a nutshell, Myanmar’s economy is largely dependent on China, and with a pro-Beijing government in place, Myanmar may well fall finally into Chinese debt trap by allowing China funded BRI projects.
    • Hostility in India’s neighbourhood: If that happens, Myanmar will be reducing to a mere economic scapegoat of its largest trading partner China, and a hostile neighbour for India’s geopolitical interests.
    • Deterrence in Indo-Pacific: This in turn will emerge as a deterrent in the global vision of Indo-Pacific.

    It may be often tempting to describe India’s Myanmar policy as suffering from a dilemma between values and interest.

    Wait….. India never acts blindfolded

    India’s interest in Myanmar has always been guided strategically by the centrality of democracy to ensure deeper ties.

    India has also learned to accept that “the liberal democratic paradigm will not automatically come about” in Myanmar, nor in any other part of India’s politically volatile neighbourhood.

    So while Indian policymakers have always been clear about their democratic endgame in Myanmar, they also recognise that pragmatic adjustments are sometimes necessary to engage with the military, which remains the ultimate guarantor of internal stability and order.

    Since Nehruvian times….

    60 years ago, the Burmese armed forces, the Tatmadaw, first took over power to end a decade of democratic reforms in the 1950s.

    • The coup of March 1962 was a severe setback for India’s investment in a federal, democratic Burma under the leadership of Nehru’s great friend U Nu.
    • However, with the democratic regime in deep crisis, it made sense to engage General Ne Win to protect Indian interests, including cross-border insurgencies, China’s influence and the safety of the larger Indian diaspora.
    • Despite his personal distress at the imprisonment of his friend and the end of democracy, Nehru gave the green light for India to become one of the first countries to recognise the military regime, even before China.
    • For the time being, India will push for democracy in public domain but in private it will pivot to engage with Myanmar’s new military regime.

    The road to democracy in Myanmar lies through its military

    • Sixty years later, the situation is strikingly similar.
    • This marks a return to India’s dual policy of the 2000s, when it built a relationship of high-level trust with the Myanmar military while also nudging and supporting the Generals to embrace democratic reforms.
    • This approach was first crafted in the late 1990s by Shyam Saran, then India’s ambassador in Yangon, and executed in 2000 with a rare display of successful defence diplomacy led by Army chief VP Malik.
    • This was no easy task. Western analysts criticised India for blindly engaging Myanmar.
    • At the UN India came under attack for not supporting sanctions and condemnatory resolutions, especially during the failed 2007 democratic uprising.

    Despite such pressure, India stood firm and also paid a price for it. PM Manmohan Singh, for example, declined two invitations and only visited Myanmar in 2012, after the democratic opening.  

    Way forward

    • The carefully calibrated policy of the 2000s will serve India well today, where circumstances are even more favourable.
    • Thanks to the rise of China, the US and the EU are now more wary of isolating Myanmar.
    • And the Tatmadaw is now also less enamored of China and keen to deepen relations with India.
    • But New Delhi will still have to work hard to pursue its democratic realist policy in Myanmar.

    For India to play a role

    (a) Domestically

    • The first challenge will be to preserve trust with the Generals even while keeping up the pressure to restore a democratic order.
    • Delhi will have to keep the relationship going at the highest level to ensure that the Generals respect India’s core concerns.
    • This includes the Naga peace process, keeping an eye on China’s activities, and cross-border connectivity initiatives.

    (b) Internationally

    • The second challenge will be for India to coordinate its position internationally and buy itself manoeuvering space to engage Myanmar.
    • The US and the EU are still likely to be less understanding of India’s position than the Association of South-East Asian Nations and Japan.
    • Especially at the UN Security Council, India could play an important role to bridge differences and develop a common platform to nudge Myanmar back on to the democratic track.
