      Hello

      WTO, need for TRIPs waiver, challenges in ensuring TRIPs waiver is nowhere mentioned in the answer.
      The question is not just about India’s contribution. Need to substantiate the first statement as well.
      On why waiver is needed, you can first mention the severity of the pandemic, also TRIPs limitation for latecomers to the technology race is a historical injustice plus you can also talk about profit-making motive of big pharma, wastage of vaccine doses in western countries(UK example).
      In challenges you can mention lack of consensus, also inspite of signing Political Declaration on Equitable Global Access to Covid-19 Vaccines, western countries have not helped in implementing it.
      In India’s contribution, you have mentioned some good points but Vaccine Maitri initiative is missing..also no need to mention domestic issues like rural vaccination etc
      Points related to exports are good, you can mention about India’s leadership in global south.
      In conclusion you can mention need to grant waiver at the earliest in order to scale up production in order to make the population of poorer countries safe.
      Address all parts of the question, read the article tagged above before writing answers- it will help you to build your content.
      Keep writing. 🙂

      You have written the ‘ India contribution’ part well but first mention what are the challenges in implementing TRIPs waiver and why a TRIPs waiver is required in the first place. The question is not just about India’s contribution. Need to substantiate the first statement as well.
      On why waiver is needed, you can first mention the severity of the pandemic, also TRIPs limitation for latecomers to the technology race is a historical injustice plus you can also talk about profit-making motive of big pharma, wastage of vaccine doses in western countries(UK example).
      In challenges you can mention lack of consensus, also inspite of signing Political Declaration on Equitable Global Access to Covid-19 Vaccines, western countries have not helped in implementing it.
      India’s contribution part is fine.
      In conclusion you can mention need to grant waiver at the earliest in order to scale up production in order to make the population of global south safe.
      Decent attempt, but try to address all aspects of the question.
      Keep writing. 🙂

      Please mention reference ID for further reviews.

      Crux of your answer is fine. Introduction is good, while writing about lack of consensus mention which countries are on which side..also you can mention profit-making motive of big pharma, give example of vaccine wastage in countries like UK. Other points are good.
      India’s role is specifically asked..so elaborate it a bit. Vaccine Maitri, India’s exports etc are mentioned- this is good. Also talk about India’s leadership of global south especially after development of its indigenous vaccine. Can also mention that India was one of the initiators of the “Political Declaration on Equitable Global Access to Covid-19 Vaccines” in March 2021.
      Conclusion is fine.
      Keep writing. 🙂
