В This sentence is the guiding light for your preparation. You don’t have to master the topics, all you need is BASIC UNDERSTANDING and the ability to analyze. Basic understanding comes from reading and re- reading. Ability to analyze what you have understood from reading comes from WRITING PRACTICE. Two important things fundamental to your exam preparation: Get familiar with all the topics and sub- topics by writing them many times – they should be В strongly etched. В in your memory. Keep a copy of the syllabus always near you no matter where you are. Now, how to deal with GS- 2? Assuming you are now familiar with the syllabus of GS- 1, we will discuss a topic by topic what to read, from where to read and what not to read for these topics. Broad Syllabus Of GS- 2 is: В Governance,В Constitution, Polity, Social Justice and International relations. Before you start preparing for this paper, please read following NCERT texts, which might take 2- 3 days of your time. ![]() ![]() NCERT Class XI – India Constitution At Work. NCERT Class XII – В Political Science IINCERT Class X – В Democratic Politics. TOPIC- 1. В Indian Constitution–В historical underpinnings, evolution, features, amendments, significant provisions and basic structure. This part is very useful both for Prelims and Mains. Best book to study this section is D. D. Basu’s “Introduction To The Constitution Of India”В First 5 chaptersin this book exclusively deal with this part of the syllabus. For Basic Structure, These two articles might help you. Basic Structure of the constitution revisited. В – The Hindu (PDF)2) The Basic Structure of the constitution. В (PDF)TOPIC- 2. Functions and responsibilities of the Union and the States, issues and challenges pertaining to the. В federal structure, devolution of powers and finances up to local levels and challenges therein. One good source to get the critical perspective about these topics is – Report of the 2nd Administrative Reforms Commission, named – Organizational Structure Of Government of India. В (1. 3th Report)For devolution of finances to local bodies, Read This. Don’t look anywhere else)For the concept part read –В Laxmikant’s Indian Polity. Buy the new updated В 4th edition. В (Chapters 1. 2, 1. But Mains demands not only basic understanding of these topics, but your critical and analytic abilities to answer questions on these topics. В So, try to relate these concepts to current event topics and write small articles. ARC reports will help you in this regard. Eg. ” Though devolution of funds, functionaries and functions is taking place in the local governments, development is still a mirage in many parts of India”. Critically analyze. TOPIC- 3. Separation of powers between various organs, dispute. В redressal mechanisms and institutions. BASICS: В Public Grievances and Redressal Mechanism. This topic is a dynamic portion – we read lot about conflict between the Judiciary and the Executive – to answer dynamic topics, one should first understand the constitutional provisions, redressal measures with the constitution, checks and balances provided in the constitution etc. ARC reports come to the rescue again. ARC named “Capacity Building for Conflict Resolution” talks elaborately on various issues such as Left Wing Extremism, Regional Disparities, Land and Water related issues, SC and ST issues, Religious conflicts and North East conflicts – which involve numerous institutions in the conflict management and resolution. Later, scan current events and find any latest instances of conflict between any constitutional bodies, or between a constitutional body and statutory body. Again, concepts can be studied either from. В D. D. Basu or Laxmikat. TOPIC- 4. Comparison of the Indian. В constitutional scheme with that of other countries. A book by S. В Chand – Select Constitutions of the world is famous among Law students. This covers this topic comprehensively. One should be careful to not to study this topic in depth. In case you can afford to buy costly book – D. D. Basu’s Classic on the Indian Constitution – Shorter Constitution Of India not only covers all above topics, it also covers the present topic. Few links that might help: Try to know some basics about the New Constitutions/reforms being framed/brought out in Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and Pakistan.(Again, emphasis should be on relating all these topics to the current events)TOPIC- 5. Parliament and State Legislatures.  – structure, functioning, conduct of business, powers & privileges. В and issues arising out of these. To cover this topic, one stop source is Subhash Kashyp’s Our Parliament. В (Why this book? Because it is written by someone who worked inside the Parliament for most of his career, and this book gives a detailed idea about the functioning of our Parliament – as the above topic suggests, you should be familiar with all aspects of our Parliament. This books is cheap, and is highly readable with lot of insights)TOPIC- 6. Structure, organization and functioning of the Executive and the Judiciary; В Ministries and Departments. В of the Government; Pressure Groups. В and formal/informal associations and their role in the Polity. BASICS: В Again, Laxmikant is enough for this topic. В Regarding pressure groups/ informal associations – recent activism shown by Civil society, conflict with the government and other such topics should be studied in depth. TOPIC- 7. В Salient features of the. В Representation of People’s Act. В First read this beautiful article by Yogendra Yadav. В (PDF)This topic has generated more heat in the past and present – eg, office of profit bill, anti- defection bill, electoral reforms bill etc. This topic should be. Recent supreme court ruling disqualifying MPs and MLAs with criminal background, and current topics like this should be studied carefully. TOPIC- 8 and 9. Appointment to various Constitutional posts, powers, functions and responsibilities of various. В Constitutional Bodies. Statutory, regulatory and various quasi- judicial bodies. Read. В Laxmikant for this part. Part VII,VIII and IX of this book completely covers these topics. This part of the syllabus has given rise to some contentious issues such as political interference in the appointment to various constitutional posts and statutory bodies. Eg EC, CBI, CVC, CAG, SC, Governors, Lokayukta, Lokpal (if it comes into existence) etc. So, read this topic keeping in mind these above issues. As I said before, you need to read all the above topics with an analytical perspective. To provide you with this, there is a wonderful book published by Oxford University Press and authored by Pratap Bhanu Mehta, named – “Public Institutions in India – Performance and Design“, will be immensely useful. As its back cover says, “This volume analytically assesses the design, performance, and adaptability of the principal institutions of governance in India and their critical role in a democratic polity.” That is what you need for this paper. TOPIC- 1. 0Government policies and interventions for development in various sectors and issues arising out of. В their design and implementation. This part is covered well in the same book I mentioned above: В “Public Institutions in India – Performance and Design”Also, refer Economic Survey for government policies and PIB site regularly. TOPIC- 1. 1Development processes and the development industry- the role of NGOs, SHGs, various groups and. В associations, donors, charities, institutional and other stakeholders[Please note the phrase “Development Industry” – it refers to aid industry developed around NGOs, UN bodies, Charities etc and their role in the development process.]Planning commission has various articles on these topics. This report gives critical account of success and failure of SHG’s in India. NEVER read full report)Article on NGO – their evolution and role. В TOPIC- 1. 2Welfare schemes for vulnerable sections of the population by the Centre and States and the. В performance of these schemes; mechanisms, laws, institutions and Bodies constituted for the. В protection and betterment of these vulnerable sections. Note the word “STATE” – schemes by the states are also important. Focus on the schemes being implemented by the Ministry of Women and Child welfare, Ministry of Social Justice, Ministry of Rural Development and Ministry of Tribal affairs. List Of Government Schemes – India – Wikipedia link. List of All state and central scheme – Govt. India Website (here you can filter queries by the ministry- it is not easy though, govt site you know.)One more option is visit this link on my site to go to the site of any Ministry and find schemes there. TOPICS 1. 2 and 1. В Issues relating to. В development. В and management of Social Sector/Services relating to Health,В Education, Human Resources. Issues relating to poverty and hunger. We read lot about this these days: Food security bill, PDS reform, Poverty reduction schemes, Poverty- line controversy, Malnutrition figures, report on malnutrition(remember Hung. Ma report?) etc. TOPIC- 1.
