We all know that the Government should make sure that the above shortcomings should be overcome. But how! That is the whole purpose of way forward. Avoid these general statements in your answer. UPSC wants some concrete inputs from your end.
The rest of the answer is decent.
The main body is fine.
But before discussing the pros and cons, briefly discuss the order in a little bit more details.
The depth in the main content is good.
Points are well placed.
The language is short and crisp.
To make your answer look better, in some part of your answer can have flowcharts.
plz review

All the necessary parts have been answered.
The way forward/conclusion is fine.
The content has no problem anywhere.
The structure is perfect.

The answer is near perfect in terms of the depth of the content.
But the balance is little off. Reason being, you did not discuss the issues or challenges or cons of the order in the 2nd part of the answer.
The rest of the answer is fantastic in terms of the content.
The presentation can be made a little better by underlining imp points and keeping your subheadings separate.
Very good way forward.
The conclusion is also fine.
AVoid large paragraphs.

The balance is little off. Reason being, you did not discuss the issues or challenges or cons of the order in the 2nd part of the answer.
No need to discuss 2015 Act in such details.
The structure needs to be better.
After intro, just discuss the 2015 issue and the background in minimal terms.
Then discuss the present Act and briefly discuss its features.
Then discuss its pros. It will your 1st part of the main body.
Then discuss the cons of the move. This will be the 2nd part of the main body.
Then discuss the way forward if time and space permit or simply conclude the answer by suggesting some steps to make things better.
