FAQS

Whats Unique about the WAR Initiative:- 

  1. The Philosophy behind this program is to help students get acquainted with answer-writing practice on a weekly basis.

Why Weekly Basis :- 

  1. Daily basis answer-writing does not work on a long-time frame and creates burn-out among students.
  2. Writing bulk of Tests just before Mains does not give you the ample time to better your writing skill either. It is essentially “Breathless Writing”.
  3. Above all, you need constant writing, constant evaluation and constant improvement to excel in your answer.
  4. And in short, you need both – time and consistency. You have to write in regular intervals and you have to be consistent enough about it.
  5. None of the above two methods, really help the students in long-run.
  6. Hence, We have chosen, Weekly Mains Answer writing and Weekly Mini-Test.
  7. A week gives the student – ample amount of time as well as help you to maintain consistency.
  8. In our opinion, it will do wonders for your writing skill in particular and help you ace the exam in general.

Why Mini-Test:-

  1. Our philosophy has always been #Less_is_More (Quality over Quantity)
  2. It is better to write answer to relevant question which has high probability of appearing in the exam, than writing answers to irrelevant questions.
  3. Precision is the key to ace this exam. Precision in question prediction is our specialty.
  4. In Mini-Test, the students gets minimum 5 Questions a Week and have ample time to read, think and write about them.

    • The idea is simple- “5 Questions well-prepared is better than 15 Questions ill-prepared”

  5.  This helps you in the following ways :-
    1. It stops you from intellectual burn-out (You can understand it if you have written a lengthy test ever)
    2. It will Keep you Consistent enough.
    3. The idea here is to :- “Unburden Your Burden” and make things simple yet profoundly valuable for you.
    4. Writing tests are cumbersome, but writing Mini-tests in fixed regular intervals is not cumbersome.
    5. Intellectually Rewarding, Attaining Consistency, Enhancing Writing Skills.

What Kind of Questions will be asked :-

  1. Questions will be a mixture of Static and Dynamic
  2. Refer the schedule below.

Will there be any full-length test ?

Yes, As mentioned, A month before Mains there will be Full-Length Tests for Each Subject. These will be akin to real-tests.

Will there be review of my answers ?

Should I join 2021 or 2022 ?

If you are going to appear for both 2021 and 2022, then we suggest go for WAR-2022. You will have more number of questions, more tests and more reviews and more model answers.

I have some other questions ?

    WAR-2022(Write-a-Rank 2022) Mains Test Question Paper-MWAR04 (Week-04)

    • In a diverse country like India, where each State is socially, culturally, economically, and politically distinct, measuring Governance becomes increasingly tricky. The Public Affairs Index (PAI 2021) is a scientifically rigorous, data-based framework that measures the quality of governance at the Sub-national level and ranks the States and Union Territories (UTs) of India on a Composite Index (CI).


    States are classified into two categories – Large and Small – using population as the criteria.

    In PAI 2021, PAC defined three significant pillars that embody Governance – Growth, Equity, and Sustainability. Each of the three Pillars is circumscribed by five governance praxis Themes.

    The themes include – Voice and Accountability, Government Effectiveness, Rule of Law, Regulatory Quality and Control of Corruption.

    At the bottom of the pyramid, 43 component indicators are mapped to 14 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are relevant to the States and UTs.

    This forms the foundation of the conceptual framework of PAI 2021. The choice of the 43 indicators that go into the calculation of the CI were dictated by the objective of uncovering the complexity and multidimensional character of development governance

    The Equity Principle

    The Equity Pillar of the PAI 2021 Index analyses the inclusiveness impact at the Sub-national level in the country; inclusiveness in terms of the welfare of a society that depends primarily on establishing that all people feel that they have a say in the governance and are not excluded from the mainstream policy framework.

    This requires all individuals and communities, but particularly the most vulnerable, to have an opportunity to improve or maintain their wellbeing. This chapter of PAI 2021 reflects the performance of States and UTs during the pandemic and questions the governance infrastructure in the country, analysing the effectiveness of schemes and the general livelihood of the people in terms of Equity.

    Growth and its Discontents

    Growth in its multidimensional form encompasses the essence of access to and the availability and optimal utilisation of resources. By resources, PAI 2021 refer to human resources, infrastructure and the budgetary allocations. Capacity building of an economy cannot take place if all the key players of growth do not drive development. The multiplier effects of better health care, improved educational outcomes, increased capital accumulation and lower unemployment levels contribute magnificently in the growth and development of the States.

    The Pursuit Of Sustainability

    The Sustainability Pillar analyses the access to and usage of resources that has an impact on environment, economy and humankind. The Pillar subsumes two themes and uses seven indicators to measure the effectiveness of government efforts with regards to Sustainability.

     

    The Curious Case Of The Delta

    The Delta Analysis presents the results on the State performance on year-on-year improvement. The rankings are measured as the Delta value over the last five to 10 years of data available for 12 Key Development Indicators (KDI). In PAI 2021, 12 indicators across the three Pillars of Equity (five indicators), Growth (five indicators) and Sustainability (two indicators). These KDIs are the outcome indicators crucial to assess Human Development. The Performance in the Delta Analysis is then compared to the Overall PAI 2021 Index.

    Key Findings:-

    1. In the Large States category (overall), Chhattisgarh ranks 1st, followed by Odisha and Telangana, whereas, towards the bottom are Maharashtra at 16th, Assam at 17th and Gujarat at 18th. Gujarat is one State that has seen startling performance ranking 5th in the PAI 2021 Index outperforming traditionally good performing States like Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, but ranks last in terms of Delta
    2. In the Small States category (overall), Nagaland tops, followed by Mizoram and Tripura. Towards the tail end of the overall Delta ranking is Uttarakhand (9th), Arunachal Pradesh (10th) and Meghalaya (11th). Nagaland despite being a poor performer in the PAI 2021 Index has come out to be the top performer in Delta, similarly, Mizoram’s performance in Delta is also reflected in it’s ranking in the PAI 2021 Index
    3. In terms of Equity, in the Large States category, Chhattisgarh has the best Delta rate on Equity indicators, this is also reflected in the performance of Chhattisgarh in the Equity Pillar where it ranks 4th. Following Chhattisgarh is Odisha ranking 2nd in Delta-Equity ranking, but ranks 17th in the Equity Pillar of PAI 2021. Telangana ranks 3rd in Delta-Equity ranking even though it is not a top performer in this Pillar in the overall PAI 2021 Index. Jharkhand (16th), Uttar Pradesh (17th) and Assam (18th) rank at the bottom with Uttar Pradesh’s performance in line with the PAI 2021 Index
    4. Odisha and Nagaland have shown the best year-on-year improvement under 12 Key Development indicators.

    In the Scheme of Things

    The Scheme Analysis adds an additional dimension to ranking of the States on their governance. It attempts to complement the Governance Model by trying to understand the developmental activities undertaken by State Governments in the form of schemes. It also tries to understand whether better performance of States in schemes reflect in better governance.

    The Centrally Sponsored schemes that were analysed are National Health Mission (NHM), Umbrella Integrated Child Development Services scheme (ICDS), Mahatma Gandh National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SmSA) and MidDay Meal Scheme (MDMS).
