Welcome to Day 34 of TLP Phase II. Please understand that the next 12 weeks are not meant to test your
knowledge. Most of you are giving your first attempt and its really important for you to self assess yourself over the
fundamentals of various subjects. And even if you have appeared for CSM before, it is always desirable to brush up
your basics before you go on to attempt highly analytical and thought provoking questions asked by UPSC. TLP
Phase I was designed precisely for that. Moving on to Phase II, we will cover all possible issues of contemporary
importance as well as touching upon various aspects of static subjects.

Please be sincere and regular in this phase of your preparation because what you build here will become the
foundation of phase II of TLP.

revenue base and human resource capacity deficit that impact most of its cities. Analyse.

2. Given the high level of economic inequality in the country intensified by successive droughts in recent years, a
rethink of the human-environment relationship is required wherein Indian Cities adopt nature-based solutions to
revive themselves. Elucidate.

while destroying precious natural environments and local livelihoods. Do you agree? Examine.

tackle floods. Comment. Also suggest measures to improve Indias disaster response.
