The strategic partnerships and challenges that India faces in this evolving global order will likely be a significant part of the Prelims.

The Indian economy, especially in the context of post-pandemic recovery, is another vital area for UPSC aspirants. Topics such as inflation control measures, the performance of various sectors, government initiatives like 'Make in India' and 'Digital India,' and recent reforms in the agricultural sector are crucial. The role of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in managing economic stability, developments in the banking sector, and the rise of fintech are also important. Aspirants should also be aware of global economic trends and their impact on India.

4. Social Issues and Government Schemes

Government schemes and social issues form a significant part of the UPSC Prelims. In 2024, focus on initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission, and the National Education Policy 2020. Social issues such as healthcare, education, and gender equality, along with government responses to these challenges, are critical. Understanding the implementation and impact of these schemes will be beneficial for both Prelims and Mains.

मां बीड़ी कारखाने में मजदूर, पापा थे कंडक्टर, बेटी का हौसला तो देखिए... क्रैक कर दिखाया UPSC

नई दिल्ली: एक बहुत पुरानी कहावत है, जहां चाह...वहां राह। मतलब, अगर आपने कुछ करने का ठान लिया, तो फिर मंजिल तक पहुंचने का रास्ता खुद-ब-खुद बन जाता है। और, तमिलनाडु के तेनकासी जिले की रहने वालीं एस इनबा ने इस कहावत को पूरी तरह से सही साबित कर दिखाया है। इनबा के पिता श्रीनिवासन राज्य परिवहन निगम में कंडक्टर के पद से रिटायर हैं। मां एस स्टेला बीड़ी बनाने के एक कारखाने में काम करती हैं। वक्त बचता है, तो कुछ और पैसे कमाने के लिए पास की दुकान पर फूल माला बनाने चली जाती हैं। इनबा ने जब यूपीएससी की तैयारी के लिए कोचिंग सेंटर जॉइन किया, तो कोरोना वायरस की वजह से लॉकडाउन लग गया। ऐसी कई मुश्किलों के बावजूद इनबा ने यूपीएससी की परीक्षा क्रैक की है।इनबा को यूपीएससी में 851वीं रैंक मिली है। हालांकि, इस रैंक तक पहुंचने से पहले इनबा के सामने चुनौतियों का एक बड़ा पहाड़ खड़ा था। आर्थिक समस्याएं थी, लॉकडाउन था और ऐसी ही कई अन्य परेशानियां थीं। लेकिन, इन सबके ऊपर इनबा का हौसला भारी पड़ा। करीब ढाई साल तक उन्होंने अपने जिले की सरकारी लाइब्रेरी को ही अपना घर बना लिया। वो 12-12 घंटे तक मेहनत करती थीं। विपरीत हालातों पर जीत हासिल करने के जज्बे और उनकी लगन ने उन्हें आज पूरे देश के लिए एक मिसाल बना दिया है। वासुदेवनल्लूर के नादर कम्युनिटी हायर सेकेंडरी स्कूल से उन्होंने अंग्रेजी मीडियम में 10वीं तक की पढ़ाई की। इसके बाद 12वीं के लिए उन्होंने तेनकासी जिले के ही एमकेवीके मैट्रिकुलेशन स्कूल में एडमिशन लिया। 2020 में इनबा ने कोयंबटूर इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ टेक्नोलॉजी से कंप्यूटर साइंस में इंजीनियरिंग की डिग्री हासिल कर ली। अब वो वक्त आ चुका था, जब इनबा को अपने करियर का फैसला लेना था। उन्होंने तय किया कि वो यूपीएससी परीक्षा पास कर सिविल सर्विस में जाएंगी। इनबा ने सिविल सर्विस की कोचिंग के लिए चेन्नई में शंकर आईएएस अकादमी में एडमिशन ले लिया। लॉकडाउन की वजह से छोड़नी पड़ी कोचिंग परिवार की आर्थिक समस्याओं के बावजूद यहां तक पहुंची इनबा के साम���े मुश्किलों का असली दौर अब शुरू हुआ। जैसे ही उन्होंने यूपीएससी की तैयारी के लिए कोचिंग सेंटर में एडमिशन लिया, देश में कोरोना वायरस की वजह से ल़ॉकडाउन लग गया। उन्हें कोचिंग सेंटर छोड़ना पड़ा। अब इनबा ऑनलाइन कोचिंग लेने के लिए मजबूर थी। समस्या ये थी कि उनके घर पर इंटरनेट की सुविधा नहीं थी। ऐसे में शेंगोट्टई इलाके की सरकारी लाइब्रेरी उनके काम आई। इनबा ने अगले ढाई साल तक इस लाइब्रेरी को ही अपना दूसरा घर बना लिया। वो सुबह 8 बजे ही लाइब्रेरी आ जातीं और रात को 8 बजे इसके बंद होने पर ही घर जातीं। दो बार प्री परीक्षा में हुईं ��ेल लाइब्रेरी में इनबा को अखबारों, किताबों के साथ-साथ फ्री वाईफाई की भी सुविधा मिली। अब उनके लिए ऑनलाइन कोचिंग हासिल करने में कोई मुश्किल नहीं थी। इसके बाद अब वो दिन आया जब इनबा यूपीएससी की परीक्षा में बैठी। हालांकि, उन्हें पहले प्रयास में सफलता नहीं मिली। इसके बाद दिसंबर 2022 में एक प्रवेश परीक्षा पास करके उन्होंने चेन्नई के एक निःशुल्क सरकारी कोचिंग संस्थान 'अखिल भारतीय सिविल सेवा संस्थान' में एडमिशन ले लिया। इस बीच आया और दूसरी बार भी उन्हें असफलता हाथ लगी। और आखिरकार इनबा ने हासिल की कामयाबी दो-दो असफलताओं से जूझने के बावजूद इनबा ने हिम्मत नहीं हारी। वो फिर से यूपीएससी की परीक्षा में बैठीं और इस बार उन्हें इंटरव्यू के लिए बुलाया गया। इनबा ने पूरी रणनीति के साथ इंटरव्यू की तैयारी की और जब 16 अप्रैल 2024 को यूपीएससी का रिजल्ट घोषित हुआ तो इनबा का नाम मेरिट लिस्ट में था। उन्हें 851वीं रैंक मिलीं। इनबा बताती हैं कि उनकी प्रेरणा कोई और नहीं, बल्कि उनकी मां हैं, जिन्होंने हर मुश्किल के बावजूद इनबा की पढ़ाई पर कोई असर नहीं पड़ने दिया। वहीं, इनबा की कामयाबी पर उनकी मां भी बेहद खुश हैं और हर किसी से अपनी बेटी के संघर्ष की कहानी बता रही हैं। http://dlvr.it/T6Hx5z

S. Jaishankar: A Beacon of Strategic Leadership in Global Diplomacy

In the intricate realm of international diplomacy, where nations converge for negotiation and collaboration, one name stands out with unparalleled brilliance — S. Jaishankar. As India’s Minister of External Affairs since 2019, Jaishankar continues to craft a compelling narrative that intertwines strategic leadership, intellectual prowess, and unwavering dedication to the nation. Succeeding Sushma Swaraj, he is the 30th minister to assume this pivotal role.

Jaishankar’s literary contribution, “The India Way: Strategies for an Uncertain World,” delves into the substantial reshaping of the global order from the 2008 global financial crisis to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.

At the 78th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Jaishankar’s address commenced with a warm “Namaste from Bharat.” Reflecting on the success of the G20 summit, he positioned India as a solution provider bridging divides and emphasized the nation’s “One Earth, One Family, One Future” vision.

Unveiling Unknown Facts about S. Jaishankar:

Jaishankar, whose rank in the UPSC led him to the Indian Foreign Service in 1977, boasts over three decades of diplomatic experience. He served as the longest-serving Indian Ambassador to China, playing a pivotal role in strengthening economic, trade, and cultural ties between India and China. Widely regarded as one of the world’s best diplomats, Jaishankar is particularly popular among the youth for his witty and diplomatic responses that consistently advocate for India’s interests in global politics. He was previously married to Ms. Shobha, whom he met while studying at JNU, until her unfortunate battle with cancer. His current wife, Kyoko, is Japanese, and the couple has two sons and a daughter. Inducted into PM Modi’s cabinet in 2019, Jaishankar is entrusted by the Prime Minister for critical diplomatic missions. Jaishankar’s linguistic prowess extends to Tamil, Russian, conversational Japanese, and some Hungarian.

In a series of popular interviews, including the Global Technology Summit 2021, The Sydney Dialogue Panel discussion on “Democracies and Global Technology Governance,” and the India Today Conclave 2021, Jaishankar has shared his insights.

Examining his illustrious career trajectory:

1977: Indian Foreign Service 2001–04: Ambassador to Czechia (Czech Republic) 2007–09: High Commissioner to Singapore 2009–13: Ambassador to China 2014–15: Ambassador to the US 2015–18: Foreign Secretary of India 2019-present: Minister of External Affairs of India Highlighting Achievements and Contributions:

Enhanced Bilateral Relations: Jaishankar played a pivotal role in strengthening India’s ties with major powers like the United States, Russia, and China, fostering economic cooperation, strategic partnerships, and diplomatic collaboration. COVID-19 Diplomacy: Leading India’s efforts during the pandemic, Jaishankar initiated the “Vaccine Maitri” initiative, showcasing India’s commitment to global public health. Boundary Resolution: Significant progress in resolving longstanding border disputes, particularly with China, was achieved under Jaishankar’s leadership through dialogue and negotiation. Climate Diplomacy: An advocate for climate action, Jaishankar represented India’s interests in international forums, underscoring the country’s commitment to renewable energy and sustainability.

As India asserts its role on the global stage, S. Jaishankar stands as a steadfast leader, navigating the intricacies of international diplomacy. His adeptness in fostering alliances, addressing challenges head-on, and navigating complex international relationships has not only fortified India’s position but has also contributed to a more stable and interconnected world, ensuring a brighter future on the global stage.

Scrutinize question patterns, paying attention to details.

Assess the annual weightage given to the topic.

Opt for study sources, focusing on NCERTs and reference books.

The big three broadcasting companies in the USA are ABC, CBS, and NBC. These companies have dominated the broadcasting industry for decades, but with the rise of D2M technology, the industry is rapidly evolving.

How does D2M technology work?

D2M technology works by delivering media content directly to mobile devices through the internet. Content providers use specialized software to encode their media files and stream them to a server, which then delivers the content to users’ mobile devices. This technology enables businesses to bypass traditional broadcasting channels and directly engage with their customers on their mobile devices.

Who invented D2M technology?

It is difficult to attribute the invention of D2M technology to a single individual or company. Technology has evolved over time, with various innovations contributing to its development. However, it is safe to say that the rise of mobile devices and advancements in internet connectivity has played a significant role in the development of D2M broadcasting.

What is the difference between D2M technology and traditional B2B or B2C business models?

The main difference between D2M technology and traditional B2B or B2C business models is the direct interaction between businesses and customers. In traditional business models, businesses rely on intermediaries such as retailers or distributors to reach their customers. However, with D2M technology, businesses can bypass these intermediaries and deliver content directly to their customers’ mobile devices. This enables businesses to engage with their customers more directly and provide them with personalized content.

What are the potential benefits of implementing D2M technology for businesses in the technology industry?

There are several potential benefits of implementing D2M technology for businesses in the technology industry. Firstly, it allows businesses to deliver content directly to their customers, which can lead to increased engagement and loyalty. Secondly, it enables businesses to collect data on their customers’ behavior and preferences, which can help them create more targeted and personalized marketing campaigns. Finally, D2M technology can help businesses stay competitive in the rapidly evolving landscape of the technology industry.

How can businesses effectively use D2M technology to better understand and engage with their target customers?

To effectively use D2M technology to engage with their target customers, businesses should focus on creating personalized and engaging content that resonates with their customers. They should also collect data on their customers’ behavior and preferences and use this information to create more targeted marketing campaigns. Finally, businesses should be responsive to their customer’s feedback and adjust their content and strategies accordingly.

What are the key challenges that businesses may face when implementing D2M technology, and how can they be overcome?

One of the key challenges that businesses may face when implementing D2M technology is the need to create high-quality, engaging content that resonates with their customers. This can be overcome by investing in high-quality content creation and leveraging data analytics to understand customers’ preferences. Another challenge is the need to balance personalization with privacy concerns. Businesses should ensure that they are transparent with their customers about the data they collect and how it is used.

How can businesses measure the success of their D2M technology initiatives and optimize their strategies accordingly?

Businesses can measure the success of their D2M technology initiatives by tracking engagement metrics such as views, clicks, and shares. They can also use data analytics to gain insights into customer behavior and preferences. By analyzing this data, businesses can optimize their strategies and create more targeted and personalized marketing campaigns.

How can D2M technology help businesses create more personalized and targeted marketing campaigns?

D2M technology enables businesses to collect data on their customers’ behavior and preferences, which can be used to create more targeted and personalized marketing campaigns. By analyzing this data, businesses can understand their customers’ interests and preferences and create content that resonates with them. This can lead to increased engagement and loyalty.

What role does data analytics play in D2M technology, and how can businesses leverage it to gain insights into customer behavior?

Data analytics plays a crucial role in D2M technology, as it enables businesses to collect and analyze data on their customers’ behavior and preferences. By analyzing this data, businesses can gain insights into customer behavior and use this information to create more targeted and personalized marketing campaigns. For example, businesses can use data analytics to understand which types of content are most popular with their customers and adjust their content creation strategies accordingly. They can also use data analytics to identify patterns in customer behavior and preferences, such as the times of day when customers are most likely to engage with content and adjust their marketing strategies accordingly.

What are some examples of successful D2M technology implementations in the technology industry, and what can we learn from them?

One example of a successful D2M technology implementation is the mobile game “Pokemon Go,” which uses D2M technology to deliver augmented reality content directly to users’ mobile devices. The game has been incredibly successful, with millions of downloads and a dedicated fan base. Another example is the mobile app “TikTok,” which uses D2M technology to deliver short-form video content directly to users’ mobile devices. The app has become extremely popular, particularly among younger audiences, and has been used by businesses to create engaging and personalized marketing campaigns.

From these examples, we can learn that successful D2 M technology implementation require a focus on creating engaging and personalized content that resonates with customers. They also require an understanding of customer behavior and preferences, which can be gained through data analytics.

How can businesses stay competitive in the rapidly evolving landscape of D2M technology?

To stay competitive in the rapidly evolving landscape of D2M technology, businesses should focus on creating high-quality, engaging content that resonates with their customers. They should also invest in data analytics and use this information to create more targeted and personalized marketing campaigns. Finally, businesses should be responsive to their customer’s feedback and adjust their content and strategies accordingly.

What are the ethical considerations surrounding D2M technology, and how can businesses ensure they are using it responsibly and transparently?

One of the key ethical considerations surrounding D2M technology is the collection and use of customer data. Businesses must ensure that they are transparent with their customers about the data they collect and how it is used. They should also ensure that they are collecting only the data that is necessary to provide their services and that they are taking steps to protect their customers’ privacy. Finally, businesses should ensure that they are using D2M technology in a way that is respectful of their customer’s time and attention and that they are not engaging in practices that could be considered intrusive or manipulative.

In addition to data privacy concerns, businesses must also consider the impact of D2M technology on their employees and the wider community. For example, the use of D2M technology could potentially lead to job losses as businesses shift their focus from traditional sales channels to mobile platforms. It is important for businesses to be transparent with their employees about their plans for implementing D2M technology and to provide training and support to help them adapt to these changes.

Another ethical consideration is the potential for D2M technology to exacerbate existing inequalities, particularly in terms of access to technology. Businesses must ensure that their D2M technology initiatives are accessible to all customers, regardless of their socioeconomic status, and that they are not engaging in practices that could discriminate against certain groups of people.

To ensure that they are using D2M technology responsibly and transparently, businesses should establish clear policies and guidelines around the collection and use of customer data. They should also be transparent with their customers about the data they collect and how it is used, and provide customers with the ability to control and delete their data if they choose to do so. Finally, businesses should regularly review and assess their D2M technology initiatives to ensure that they are in line with ethical and legal standards and that they are not causing harm to their customers or the wider community.

Important Current Affairs for UPSC 2024 Prelims

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Services Examination is one of the most challenging exams in India, and staying updated with current affairs is crucial for success, especially in the Prelims. With the UPSC 2024 Prelims approaching, aspirants are increasingly focusing on which current affairs topics are likely to be significant. Below is a guide to the most important areas you should concentrate on, with insights from Khan Global Studies.

1. Geopolitical Developments

International relations play a significant role in the UPSC Prelims, and 2023 has been a year of major geopolitical shifts. The evolving dynamics between major powers like the United States, China, and Russia, along with India's role in these global developments, are crucial. Key topics include the Russia-Ukraine conflict, its global impact, and India's stance on various international issues. Additionally, India's relations with neighboring countries, its role in multilateral organizations like the United Nations, BRICS, and G20, and participation in global summits are vital areas to focus on.

2. Environmental and Climate Issues

With increasing emphasis on sustainability and climate change, environmental issues have become a staple in the UPSC Prelims. The COP28 conference, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports, and India's initiatives toward achieving its climate goals under the Paris Agreement are critical topics. Additionally, understanding the impact of natural disasters, new environmental policies, and biodiversity conservation efforts in India will be beneficial.

3. Economic Developments

The Indian economy has seen significant changes, especially in the post-pandemic recovery phase. Topics like inflation trends, fiscal policies, monetary policy changes by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and government initiatives like 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' are essential for the Prelims. Furthermore, recent developments in digital currency, economic reforms, and trade relations will likely be tested.

4. Social Issues and Government Schemes

Social issues such as healthcare, education, and gender equality continue to be relevant for the UPSC exam. Recent government schemes like PM Gati Shakti, PM-Poshan, and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which are being implemented or modified, should be studied in detail. Additionally, awareness of social justice issues and government responses to them is important.

5. Science and Technology

Advancements in science and technology are always a hot topic in UPSC Prelims. Areas like space exploration, with India's missions by ISRO, developments in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and renewable energy technologies, are all critical. The application of technology in governance, digital initiatives by the Indian government, and cybersecurity issues are also worth focusing on.

Conclusion

Preparing for the UPSC 2024 Prelims requires a comprehensive understanding of current affairs. While it is impossible to predict every question, focusing on the areas mentioned above will give you a strong foundation. Khan Global Studies provides tailored resources that help aspirants navigate these complex topics with ease, offering in-depth analysis and insights that go beyond mere facts, helping you build a critical perspective essential for the exam.
