Civil Services: Yeh Hai Kya? (What is it?)
Simple bhasha mein, civil services India sarkar ke liye kaam karne wale officers ka group hai. They’re the backbone of our administration. IAS (Indian Administrative Service), IPS (Indian Police Service), IFS (Indian Foreign Service) aise bahut sare services hote hai. In officers ka kaam hai desh ko chalana, laws ko implement karna, aur logon ki madad karna.
Yeh system British Raj mein shuru hua, lekin aaj bhi utna hi important hai. Originally, ise “Imperial Civil Service” kehte the, but post-independence, it transformed into what we know today. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who played a crucial role in integrating princely states into India, recognised the importance of a strong and unified civil service. Unhone civil servants ko “steel frame of India” kaha tha! Socho, kitni badi responsibility!
India Ki Dharti Se Judna: Aap Ki Taiyari
The best part about this preparation is that it forces you to truly understand India. Iski geography, iski history, iski economy – sab kuch!
- NCERTs Se Shuruaat: Class 6 se 12 tak ki NCERT books are like the foundation for your preparation. History, Geography, Polity, Economics – sab basics clear honge. Think of them as the ‘neev’ of your house.
- Syllabus Ko Jaano: UPSC ka syllabus ek samandar hai. Lekin daro mat! Usse chhote chhote hisson mein baant lo. Har topic ko samjho, aur uske according apni strategy banao.
- Current Affairs: Newspaper padhna apni daily routine mein shamil karo. The Hindu ya Indian Express are good options. Also, follow reliable news websites and analyze the information critically. Just like listening to elders ke ‘nuskhe’, but for your exams.
- Option Subject Chuno: UPSC mein ek optional subject choose karna hota hai. Isse carefully choose karo. Apni interest aur strength ko dekho. Remember, yeh subject tumhara dost banega, tumhare marks badhayega!
- Mock Tests Are Key: Real exam se pehle, mock tests dena bahut zaroori hai. Isse tumhe pata chalega ki tumhari preparation kitni hui hai, aur tum kahan weak ho. Think of it as a cricket match practice before the actual game.
