Hello Sudarshan, Yes, it will be based on whatever documents are delivered till 28th October. Except World History, Ethics and a few other topics;Prelims questions would be follow up to documents.
Dear Sir
U said syllabus for first test would be from the documents u send us sir. But these documents are purely from mains point of view sir then how can they be of help for prelims sir. Sir please clear the mist regarding this.
Thanks in advance sir.
Hello Saraswati,
The documents are for both mains and prelims. I am hereby giving two questions on Indian Agriculture documents. Both of these have been earlier asked in exams in different language.
1. Which among the following is / are the risks faced by an agricultural labourer in India?
1. Risk of low productivity
2. Risk of low wages
3. Risk of crop damage due to adverse weather
Select the correct option.
In my document, I have differentiated between agricultural laborer and cultivator. If you understand that, you will choose only 2 as answer which is correct. If you did not pay attention, you will choose 1,2 & 3 and will get trapped.
2. Which among the following commodities have a substantial share in India’s export basket:
1. Rice
2. Palm Oil
3. Pulses
4. Natural Rubber
Select the correct option from the codes given below:
Now, if you have read that document, you know about edible oil problem and also know that India imports as well as exports pulses. For rice, India is one of the largest exporters. Further, you also know that in case of natural rubber, whatever we produce is consumed here only.
None of the above questions needs you to cram anything. Your knowledge or awareness is being judged. I work hard to write these documents, and I generally take 48 hours to prepare one document. The entire GS papers data remains in front of me when I work on your content. I expect you to dedicate at least 4-5 hours so that you know the vital facts without any ambiguity and also know issues around those facts. This is how to tame the bull by horns.
Sir, can you please explain the statement in page 14 – ‘Hazari committee threw light on the failure of industrial licensing in almost every stated objectives ‘ . Here , I could not able to link the connection between failure of industrial licensing and stated objectives.
stated objectives of the licensing policy were as follows: 1. To regulate the industrial sector, particularly private sector in desired direction as per objectives of the five year plans. 2. To check the concentration of ownership of Industries in few hands To emphasize on balanced Regional Development. 3. To encourage small-scale industry 4. To encourage the new entrepreneurs to set up industries.
The Hazari committee said that it was a failure in achieving any of the above.
Government chose the invest in those sectors which were already “NOT” under private sector. This means that there was a vacuum of investment in those segments but private sector was either not capable or not trusted by government. Thus, Government’s decision in 1948 policy that future projects in these segments will be ONLY taken by Government is called “Socialization of Vaccum”.
I was looking for the difference between privatization and disinvestment since a lot of news has been coming over this recently. Would you be covering that in detailed manner?
Hello Moriarty, It was covered in a CGS document earlier (not in this programme) and we had posted on gktoday earlier. You may read it here. It would again repeat in some upcoming CGS documents.

I could not grasp the concept of “Socialization of Vacuum” in context of analysis of industrial policy 1948. Please elaborate.
