Prelims Specials

In this special section, we have come up with comprehensive content on ‘Public Policies and Welfare Schemes’. This is an important section of the UPSC syllabus as every year, many ques­tions are asked from it. The policy inputs/ guidelines are directly asked in the Preliminary exami­nation. Also, it forms an important aspect of answer writing. Based on an analysis of the previ­ous years’ Civil Services Preliminary examination question papers, the following aspects of each scheme have been incorporated:

Launch Date, Nodal Agency, Objectives, Target Groups, Key Features/Guidelines, Significance/ Impact/Implications, and Concern Areas.
