Hey guys,
Any friend from Chhattisgarh here?
Let us make best use of it! 🙂 🙂

So, what all to be covered under this section?

-STUFF RELATED TO TRIBAL AREAS AND TRIBAL COMMUNITIES 🙂
Why? Cuz the majority of state’s population belongs to tribal communities. Let us talk about them, their culture, their festivals, their cuisines, languages, and other important facts. This will not only help us state prelims (as a HUGE PORTION of the syllabus deals with tribes 🙂 ) we’ll be able to enhance our knowledge regarding art and culture of Chhattisgarh.

-State specific schemes and initiatives! Why?
So that we can incorporate those schemes and initiatives in our answers for GS and essays! (I’d request my fellows from CG to cover schemes of Bastar region specifically! 🙂 )

-Do post some case studies, dealing with public distribution system or naxalism or anything. This will help us in GS answers especially GS4!

Lastly, here are a few tit-bits about my Chhattisgarh! 🙂

-Naya Raipur, a satellite city of CG, first smart city.
-Our PDS is one of the greatest achievements of BJP Government.
-CG is India’s first zero power cut state! (woah)
-Rich in mineral resources, ranks first in coal production!
-12% of country’s forest share. The state has 44% of land covered with forest.
-We have the LARGEST STEEL PLANT OF ASIA 🙂
-ASIA’S LARGEST SPONGE IRON PLANT!
-SECOND LARGEST CHURCH IN ASIA
-We are the ONLY producers of Tin! *cool*
And many more!

I’d request my friends from Chhattisgarh to post articles, news bits, mnemonics (for tribes, festivals, rivers and tributaries etc).

ONE LAST THING- Things should be specifically prelims and mains oriented. 🙂

Comments from @root

• – This is the official thread for Manipur’s Current Affairs
• – The thread is moderated by the owner and his/ her peers from the same state. What to expect here?
• – State Specific Schemes and Initiatives (helps in GS answers and essays)
• – Culture related stuff in news (helps you learn the static history part when the festival is celebrated + some additional info)
• – Unique practices (GI Tags news etc OR some innovative techniques)
• – Governance initiatives (some case study/ news of in-service officers)
• – Anything which escapes the national conscience in general due to bias media coverage

Why do we need separate threads for each state?

• – Read the major announcement here – The Importance of Local News for IAS Prelims & Mains
• – Find the list of state specific news threads here – State’s News Daily

Can somebody clear the concept of Snowline to me?
Snowline for eastern Himalayas is higher or the western Himalayas? And the reason for the same?

Many thanks, in advance.

Respected Dr. V,
Sunday bhi jaane wala hai 🙁
Waiting for you to post, tit bits, more questions and economy analysis!

Yours obediently 🙂

Dear team CD,

there’s an issue that keeps coming since a few days while assessing the website from my phone. Whenever I’m trying to read any story or blog or explainer or attempting mock questions or solving tit bits, I’m sent to the advertisement where amazon is selling android phones on your website 🙁 🙁 🙁

This is creating a lot of problems, wasting a lot of precious time 🙁 Am I the only one facing such an issue?

Please look into this issue. 🙂 THANK YOU.

Respected CD team,

As we all know, hardly any time is left for CSP.
So can we not get a few new things from your side, like quizzes?
You guys are doing tremendous work with explainers and B2B. But I personally feel a lot very scared, demotivated and lost at times.
I hope it is not too much to ask for. March has almost reached its end 😛 four months to go.

I’ll be very grateful if you guys post a strategy for how to proceed in these four months,post some quality questions on polity geography history and environment.

This is all I’m asking for. 🙂
I hope others will agree on this. 🙂

Yours obediently
Simran. 🙂

What are real growth and nominal growth? Can someone please explain me in layman terms? Thanks a ton to the kind soul! 😛
