      Good attempt.
      Both the content and presentation are decent. In introduction, you can mention some data (Indian cities are likely to contribute to 70% of India’s GDP by 2030) to emphasize upon the extent of urbanization.
      Pitfalls of urbanization is also well written, proliferation of slums, inflated land and housing prices – a major feature of almost all Tier1 cities can be mentioned.
      In next part, decent advantages of tier 2 and 3 cities are mentioned– some enrichment could be done, in infrastructure you could talk about upcoming airports, industrial hubs, highway connectivity for tier 2 and 3 cities…low cost of doing business and an untapped aspirational talent pool can also be mentioned as advantages. Integration of government schemes in the answer is good.
      Conclusion is fine.
      Keep practicing. 🙂

      Decent attempt, but I think both the parts of the body of the answer could be elaborated a bit more since this is a 15 marker.
      Introduction is quite good.
      In problems, you could add the proliferation of slums specifically, since this is a problem associated with all the major tier 1 cities. Other points are fine, good use of flowchart
      In 2nd part, points are good. You could integrate government schemes like Smart City, Rurban mission etc which aim to improve the facilities in Tier 2 and 3 cities. Infrastructure improvement in tier 2 and 3 cities such as construction of airports, industrial corridors and connectivity through highways could be mentioned. Points related to business and housing opportunities are good. Lower pollution levels, lesser traffic snarls could be mentioned to include the environmental dimension.
      Way forward is decent.
      Try to write a concluding statement, otherwise the answer looks incomplete.
      Keep practicing. 🙂

      Good attempt. Both the content and presentation are fine.
      Introduction is decent. However, urbanization isn’t “confined” to tier 1 cities, so you can modify that line a bit.
      Problems of tier 1 cities are well stated. In next part, points are good. You could integrate government schemes like Smart City, Rurban mission etc which aim to improve the facilities in Tier 2 and 3 cities. Points related to start-up and housing opportunities are good. Last point could be elaborated a bit. Infrastructure improvement in tier 2 and 3 cities such as construction of airports, industrial corridors and connectivity through highways can be mentioned. Lower pollution levels, lesser traffic snarls could be mentioned to include the environmental dimension.
      Conclusion is good.
      Keep practicing. 🙂

      Introduction is good.
      In challenges, you have focused mainly on slums. This is a 15 marker, hence some points could be elaborated such as environmental issues such as pollution (high traffic movement), poor drainage and sanitation leading to urban floods, diseases etc. Other than that inflated land and housing prices etc could be added.
      In next part, points related to housing and business opportunities in tier 2 and 3 cities are good. Other than that you can make the answer richer by integrating government schemes like Smart City, Rurban mission etc which aim to improve the facilities in Tier 2 and 3 cities. Infrastructure improvement in tier 2 and 3 cities such as construction of airports, industrial corridors and connectivity through highways can be mentioned. Lower pollution levels, lesser traffic snarls could be mentioned to include the environmental dimension.
      Conclusion is fine.
      Keep practicing. Try to adjust the content according to the marks allocated to the question.:)

      In introduction, you can mention some data related to urbanization to make it better.
      Next part is good, especially the presentation. Problems in Tier 1 cities are rightly mentioned. However, when you talk of tier 2 and 3 cities, some points are more like a way forward such as urban forests, blue cities etc. First, mention what all advantages these cities provide in the current form. Affordable housing, ease of doing business, remote working are good points.
      Other than that you can integrate government schemes like Smart City, Rurban mission etc which aim to improve the facilities in Tier 2 and 3 cities. Infrastructure improvement in tier 2 and 3 cities such as construction of airports, industrial corridors and connectivity through highways can be mentioned. Lower pollution levels, lesser traffic snarls could be mentioned to include the environmental dimension.
      After that, you can mention a way forward.
      Conclusion is fine.
      Keep practicing. 🙂

      Hello

      Good attempt.
      In introduction, first you should mention rapidly increasing urbanization backed by some data which has led to problems in Tier 1 cities. Then you can define the tier 2 and 3 cities.
      Problems mentioned are good, in first point you can also mention the proliferation of slums, inflated land and housing prices which is a feature of almost all the tier 1 cities. Other points are good.
      Next part is also well written. Good integration of the government schemes at the start. Here, also, you can mention about affordable housing opportunities, business opportunities (presence of talent pool) and infrastructure improvement such as construction of airports, industrial corridors and connectivity through highways.
      Conclusion is good.
      Keep practicing. 🙂
