      Hi Uttam, rephrase your introduction,UDAN was launched as a regional connectivity scheme under the Ministry of Civil Aviation .
      Explain briefly how UDAN has been integral to the country’s Civil Aviation Policy.
      Then write the provisions and issues.
      In the issues part, write about the capacity- India’s metro airports are largely choked and they have already run out of capacity in terms of landing and parking slots.
      Lackluster conclusion, conclude by mentioning the potential of the scheme to enhance the regional connectivity by providing affordable air travel.
      Improve your handwriting.
      Keep working hard.

      Hi Dakshina
      Rephrase your introduction.
      Write under subheadings, it will make your answer better structured.
      You have covered the challenges in a good manner but write about the infrastructure roadblocks also.
      Write some solutions, you can write that there is need to address structural challenges,government should address these challenges- an inability to take on airport monopolies, a lack of focus on the demand side and attempting to address the chances of failures without adequately addressing the costs of failure.
      Good conclusion.
      Overall a decent attempt.
      Work on handwriting.
      Keep working hard.

      Refrain from large paragraphs in the conclusion.

      Hi Mehul
      Work on sentence formation, UDAN was launched as a regional connectivity scheme under the Ministry of Civil Aviation .
      There is no need to write the provisions in such detail, write them in short, and focus on issues and measures.
      In the issues part, you have written ‘structural challenges’ , explain these in few lines.
      Conclusion is missing, conclude by mentioning the potential of the scheme to enhance the regional connectivity by providing affordable air travel.
      Work on handwriting, write neat and legible.
      Underline important stuff.
      Keep writing!
