Good attempt. Both the content and presentation are good.
Introduction is good. Nice use of reports to substantiate.
Relationship between caste and socio-economic inequality is also brought out well.
You can add a point reflecting coherence in caste-class structure; allocation of resources, opportunities, social capital, distribution pattern based on caste-class.
Policy measures are also finely written.
You can add a concluding statement to complete the answer.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Decent attempt. Second part of the answer is good, in first part, you need to use a bit of data and facts to substantiate your points.
Introduction is fine, you can mention here that India’s upper caste households earned nearly 47% more than the national average annual household income; India has been ranked 129 among 158 countries in the 2020 Commitment to Reducing Inequality (CRI) Index etc
Next part is fine, in 3rd point you can mention the difference in literacy rates to bring out the caste-education-opportunity connect. Further, you can talk about coherence in caste-class structure; allocation of resources, opportunities, social capital, distribution pattern based on caste-class (historical reasons, land ownership etc). Other points such as caste-based jobs and a skewed Green revolution are good.
Policy measures are well written, some of the schemes’ objectives are missing, can be written in brief (2-3 words). Additionally, you can mention the National Scheduled Castes Finance and Development Corporation; National Safai Karamcharis Finance and Development Corporation etc working for economic upliftment of these particular sections.
Conclusion is good.
Keep practicing. 🙂

You have diverted a bit from the question, the question is about relationship between caste and ECONOMIC inequality, not social inequality; you need to bring out how caste inequality leads to economic inequality.
In introduction, you have written too much history, just mention that caste inequality in India has existed since ancient times and move on to current times…need to substantiate how wealth is distributed along caste lines in present day India…you can mention here that India’s upper caste households earned nearly 47% more than the national average annual household income; India has been ranked 129 among 158 countries in the 2020 Commitment to Reducing Inequality (CRI) Index etc
In next part, you have mostly talked about social inequality, instead you need to mention- Linkage Between Caste & Educational Backwardness (literacy rate for SCs is around 66% which is less than the national average of 74%- this disadvantage of education leads to their economic deprivation); Linkage Between Caste & Employability (lower castes are stuck in low salaried employment) ; Linkage Between Caste & Land Ownership (Upper castes are also major land-owning classes in India); Linkage Between Caste & Entrepreneurship (Dalits are least likely to start their own enterprises and most likely to work as labourers for others); Linkage between Caste & Class (allocation of resources, opportunities, social capital, the distribution pattern based on caste).
Policy measures are fine but more dimensions can be added for e.g. constitutional (Ar15, 16 – prohibition of discrimination, reservation etc); legislative (SC/ST POA Act, Protection of Civil Rights Act etc.
In conclusion also, more privatization is not an ideal solution as it can further enhance caste inequality because of no reservation in private sector…you can just mention the need to address the caste inequality if India in order to end extreme poverty.

Introduction , first paragraph, is good.
In next part, although your explanation is fine, your answer takes more of an essay form. You have repeatedly written that studies point out… but neither mentioned any data nor any particular report. The points such as land-owning classes being upper caste, difference in patterns of loan are good though. Further, you can mention- Linkage Between Caste & Educational Backwardness (literacy rate for SCs is around 66% which is less than the national average of 74%- this disadvantage of education leads to their economic deprivation); Linkage Between Caste & Employability (lower castes are stuck in low salaried employment) ; Linkage Between Caste & Entrepreneurship (Dalits are least likely to start their own enterprises and most likely to work as labourers for others- NSSO data); Linkage between Caste & Class (allocation of resources, opportunities, social capital, the distribution pattern based on caste).
You can go in a pointwise manner for better visibility of relevant points.
Policy measures mentioned are good, you can add one/two measures especially for economic empowerment- Stand-Up India scheme, Mudra loans etc. Legislative dimension can also be added if time and space permit such as SC/ST POA act, Protection of Civil Rights Act etc
Conclusion is good.
Keep practicing. 🙂
