      Hi Dakshina
      Thumbs up for introduction.
      You have used very minute statistical data in your answer, appreciable but try to avoid that because there are chances you can go wrong with these data.
      Role of consumption and investment are well explained.
      You have written the answer as it is a question of economics optional, write in accordance of GS.
      Instead of making that graph, simply write few points about the importance of infrastructure investment, write about the National Infrastructure Pipeline and Special Infrastructure Bond and how these could help businesses and bankers to overcome risk aversion.
      Good conclusion.
      Work on handwriting.
      Keep writing.

      Hi Parakh
      Good introduction.
      Use of diagram is appreciable.
      Avoid using short forms like infra,govt etc.
      Try to relate the first and second part of the question .You can write like industry would invest more depending on demand conditions and it is here that the infrastructure push of the government can make a difference.
      You can explain that infrastructure has strong links to growth and with both supply and demand-side features that help generate employment and long-term assets.
      Brainstorm before writing.
      Good conclusion.
      Work on handwriting.
      Keep writing,you will improve.

      Hi Chester
      Good introduction.
      Use of flow chart is good but write some solid points about the role of investment and consumption in an economy.
      In the role of infrastructure, there is lack of content
      Explain how infrastructure has strong links to growth and with both supply and demand-side features that help generate employment and long-term assets.
      Avoid these type of points like one rupee will make 10 rupee.
      Work on writing language and content.
      Add some data, current topics like National infrastructure Pipeline and Special investment bond etc.
      Avoid using unnecessary capital alphabets in between of a sentence.
      Work hard,you will improve.

      Hi Aastha
      You have written quite general introduction, write according to the situation of economy in this pandemic time.
      Rest of the content is good and diverse.
      Structure of the answer is up to the mark.
      Lackluster conclusion,conclude by stressing the importance of Keynesian theory for steering the economy out of recession.
      Overall a decent attempt.
      Keep writing,you will succeed.
