✅Gs-3 : Climate change- climate policy and climate transition.
🅾️The double-edged question: Can AI optimise and save energy use? Or will AI’s own appetite for energy overwhelm the grid?_ generally know that any new technology increases demand (short run) but also creates pathways for efficiency (long run).
🅾️Data centres = ~1–2% of global electricity. Expected to grow to ~3–4% by 2030.
🅾️Inputs (electricity, minerals) define scalability → AI cannot expand sustainably unless energy source transitions.

✅Gs-2 : Health : Why are PHC (Primary Health Centre) doctors important?
🅾️In rural and tribal areas, PHC doctors are often the only accessible face of healthcare.
🅾️Population served: Each PHC caters to ~30,000 people in rural areas, ~70,000 in urban/semi-urban areas.
⚠️Issues :
⚜️1. High case load-A single PHC doctor may see over 100 patients daily.
⚜️2. Administrative Overload-Huge burden of registers,
⚜️3. Burnout and Neglect-WHO recognises burnout as an occupational health condition.
⚜️4. Mismatch of expectations vs support: State demands universal healthcare delivery. But doctors lack staff, infrastructure, or time.
🅾️Unless India invests in systems that support them, universal healthcare will remain a distant dream.

✅Gs-1 : Salient Features of Indian society- Models of secularism-( Uniform civil code- read this for a legal perspective)
✅Gs2- Vulnerable sections- Women- Legal age of Marriage
🔰The theme we are discussing is about Marriage and the legal issues associated with it- For a background- Click here
🎖Goa is often taken as the role model for Uniform civil code- Read it in detail- Especially if you are appearing for interview- Click here
🅾️The Sikh marriage registration issue reveals the fault lines of India’s plural legal system — fragmentary, identity-sensitive, but uneven in protecting rights. It shows why the UCC debate must move beyond uniformity to the deeper question of ensuring equality and dignity without erasing diversity.

✅Gs-3: Science and tech- Accessibility to scientific literature
🅾️India has the fourth-highest number of PhD graduates globally. Yet most Indian students face severe resource constraints: stipends are low, journal subscriptions are costly. Recent Delhi High Court order (blocking Sci-Hub, Libgen) reignited debate on the academic paywall problem.

I personally think this is a PL-480 kinda moment for india- we responded with green revolution. Its time we think of a digital revolution.
Just for a context- the previous fee was around 6k USD- it is 100k now. This makes hiring indians literally unviable for us companies.

✅Gs-3 : Environment- Air Pollution
🅾️Background of the issue- Click here
🅾️Problem= Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM)-It has failed to act independently due to political pressures and lack of enforcement-CAQM banned sale of old diesel/petrol vehicles in NCR starting July 1, but after political protests, implementation was postponed to November.
🅾️The harvest-to-sowing window between paddy harvest and wheat sowing is only 15–20 days in Punjab and Haryana. Pusa decomposer needs 20–25 days under ideal conditions to fully break down stubble.
🅾️The decomposer works best in warm, moist conditions. October–November brings cooler, drier weather, slowing down microbial activity.Farmers already under debt pressure prefer the zero-cost burning method unless subsidies are guaranteed and timely.
