      Hi Komal
      First thing, refrain from monotonous answer, give proper headings and subheadings.
      Avoid writing in paragraphs, fragment your content in points.
      Issues and steps are discussed in a decent manner.
      Good conclusion.
      Content wise good attempt, work on presentation.

      Hi Surya
      Good intro.
      Content wise good attempt but try to summarise it, adhere to word limit.
      Conclude in one paragraph only and give headings and subheadings.
      Implications are discussed in a good manner.
      Keep working hard.
