With the double whammy of Monsoon and the pandemic, the conditions of the urban poor are more deplorable than that of their rural counterparts. Comment. 10 marks
Mentor’s comment-
In a few introductory lines explain the general conditions of urban poor in India.
In the body first explain the double whammy – the coming of Monsoon and the existing pandemic; explain how the two have been affecting the urban poor the most. Give the case study of Mumbai; suggest how the conditions are deplorable. One has to present a comparison and contrast of the conditions of poor in urban India vs. rural India.
Conclude with what needs to be done to overcome such an issue.
Hi Divya
Good introduction, but try to summarise it one paragraph.
You have discussed the conditions of urban poor in a good manner.
Summarise your case study of mumbai, use it as a example.
After it, give reasons of this condition of urban poor. You can write points like –
-Degradation of environment and habitat: Urban commons like lake, urban forests, green areas
in Cities are adversely affected due to the need for development, for instance, Aarey forests in
Mumbai.
-Development at the cost of poor: The peri-urban areas where tribes live are being occupied for
establishments of industries without proper compensation and rehabilitation.
Good conclusion.
Work on space management.
Keep writing !
Hi Theertha
Mention your payment id.
Good introduction.
Content is good in your answer but it is not structured.
After the introduction, cite the reasons due to which conditions of urban poor are deplorable .
Then write the measures then conclude.
Need to add more points in the reasons part, you can write that urban poor are not receiving the benefits of the development – rich are getting richer with development while poor are getting poorer. E.g. India is quite far behind in inclusivity index.
Try to diversify your content.
In the solutions, write points like –
-Easy geographical access to jobs through pro-poor transport should also be created.
-Adequate data should be gathered by conducting various studies before the formulation of any
policy.
Good conclusion.
Work on presentation.
Try to write all the four questions.
Keep writing !
