Mentor’s Comments-

  • Start by describing the difference between mitigation and adaption strategies against climate change, and disproportionate impact of climate change on agriculture.
  • List ways in which solar power is helping the mitigation efforts
    against climate change. List ways in which solar power is helping in adaptation strategies of agriculture sector against climate change. Mention challenges in adoption of solar power.
  • Conclude by warning against low emphasis on mitigation strategies against climate change.

      Decent attempt. Your knowledge is fine but presentation could be a bit better.
      Introduction is fine.
      In the body, you could divide the answer in 2 parts according to the question- a) how solar power can help in mitigation efforts in climate change and b) how it can be used to accelerate adaptation of agriculture.
      Points can be divided accordingly. In mitigation, you can talk about reduction of fossil fuel( you have mentioned multiple points but all have the same aim, can be used as examples),help in transition to green energy for example, green hydrogen.
      In adaptation part, you can talk about solar pumps(PM Kusum example); use in precision farming, irrigation etc; solar powered cold storage etc.
      Way forward and conclusion part is fine, although can be kept a bit short because it is a 10 marker only.
      Keep practicing. 🙂

      Good attempt. Introduction is good.
      Content of the answer is also fine.
      Seperate subsection of impact of climate change on agriculture is not required, can be avoided.
      Next, try to do some value addition in the answers.
      Mitigation efforts mentioned are fine, you can talk about transition to green energy (greeen hydrogen), some examples like solar lightening etc can be mentioned in efforts taken to reduce fossil fuel burning. ISA and OSOWOG can be mentioned as efforts in this direction.
      In agriculture, you can mention solar pumps(PM Kusum scheme), use in precision irrigation and agriculture, solar powered cold storage etc. Mention of agro-voltaics is good, try to add multiple points.
      Conclusion part is fine.
      Keep practicing. 🙂
