VisionIAS Abhyaas Test: Preparing Students for UPSC Prelims 2023

VisionIAS Abhyaas Test: Preparing Students for UPSC Prelims 2023

VisionIAS, a premier research and training organization, conducted the 2nd test of its annual nationwide test series, Abhyaas, on 23rd April. The Abhyaas Tests are designed to mimic the UPSC Prelims exam experience for students. They are administered in two shifts morning and afternoon (GS & CSAT paper) in more than 170 centers across the country in the offline mode.

The test witnessed the participation of more than 28000 aspirants who put their knowledge, abilities, and efforts to assess their preparedness for the upcoming UPSC Civil Services Prelims Examination scheduled on 28th May 2023.

The period of one month before the UPSC Prelims examination is the most critical phase as this is the time when students give a final shape to their preparation by working out the chinks in their armor and fine-tuning their score maximization strategies.

In a simulated environment, students got the opportunity to assess the effectiveness of their problem-solving skills and exam-taking temperament. Through Abhyaas Tests, they were able to test various strategies for maximizing their score, such as increasing the number of attempted questions, smart question selection, utilizing elimination techniques, and intelligent option selection to arrive at the most probable answer.

Such techniques can significantly impact the final score and improve the likelihood of passing the Prelims examination.

Regularly solving mock tests is crucial for UPSC prelims success as it helps students comprehend exam patterns, identify their strengths and shortcomings, and gain confidence. They also assist in efficient time management and enable better revision and retention of syllabi.

Abhyaas Prelims is an innovative assessment solution that precisely simulates the UPSC exam environment, including the challenges that candidates commonly face during the exam.

In a short span of time, this Test Series has become the gold standard for UPSC prelims preparedness assessment and readiness with its rigorous testing and assessment framework at the student doorsteps.

In addition to assessing students’ knowledge, skills, and aptitude, the test series also evaluates their mental and psychological readiness for the prelims exam by helping them manage exam-induced stress and anxiety, leading to improved performance on the day of the actual exam.

Students came to Test Centres from distant and neighboring regions. They were accompanied by their friends and family who not only waited for the completion of the exam but also provided motivation and emotional support to the students.

Post-exam, students shared their exam experience and equated Abhyaas Test 2 close to UPSC standards with adequate focus given to important syllabus themes including current affairs.

One visible change that was observed was the increased confidence and comfort level of students taking the Abhyaas Test- 2. The fear of the unknown was removed from students’ minds as they had become familiar with and used to the exam conditions and its requirements during the previous test.

They also realized the significance of holistic preparation with adequate attention to all the papers and subjects for better performance in the exam, especially the CSAT Paper which often gets relegated to second place in front of the GS paper.

Abhyaas Test-2 results would be declared on the VisionIAS website at 10:00 PM on 27th April 2023. This would provide the All-India Rankings of students reflecting their comparative standing among their peers which works as a motivating factor for further improvement in the upcoming tests.

Test discussions will be conducted separately for English and Hindi medium students, covering both the papers, i.e the General Studies and CSAT from 28th April to 1st May 2023. This can help students gain valuable insights into their preparation approach and validate its effectiveness.

VisionIAS offers a dedicated and high-quality mentoring program that provides personalized and effective solutions to students’ preparation-related queries and concerns. Students who participate in this dynamic mentoring ecosystem can receive guidance and support from experienced mentors to help them refine their preparation strategies.

Abhyaas Test 3 would be held on 7th May across all the Centres.  This is the last test in the Series which would give the final push to students before they appear for the UPSC Prelims examination on 28th May. This would also fill them with confidence and make them exam-ready.

VisionIAS has demonstrated its capacity to handle complex and challenging exercises such as Abhyaas Prelims with ease, showcasing its institutional capabilities. The organization’s values system is based on innovation, creative thinking, empathetic learning, inclusivity, integrity, and teamwork, which form the foundation of its operations.

The successful completion of Abhyaas Prelims Test-2 across India is a direct result of VisionIAS’s unwavering commitment to these core values and their integration into their initiatives and ecosystem.

VisionIAS has created an innovation-driven, technology-centric comprehensive learning environment, consisting of student-friendly classroom programs, an innovative assessment system, and a dynamic, multi-dimensional mentoring program, which has helped thousands of aspirants from all over India achieve their goal of joining the esteemed Indian Civil Services.

Shree Radhe Dairy crosses Rs. 100 crores in turnover; projects Rs. 1000 crores by 2026

Shree Radhe Dairy crosses Rs. 100 crores in turnover; projects Rs. 1000 crores by 2026

Surat, India, Shree Radhe Dairy, located in Surat, Gujarat has achieved a turnover of Rs. 100 crores for the fiscal year ended 31st March 2023 and is expected to touch the Rs. 1000 crores mark by 2026. This impressive achievement is the result of dedication and years of hard-work. The Company is focused on providing chemical & preservatives-free, high-quality and minimally processed Ghee (clarified butter) products.

The Company swears by its belief of using traditional methods of producing ghee which is made from the milk of grass-fed cows. Immense emphasis is laid on ensuring the ghee is free of artificial flavors and preservatives. This commitment to quality has helped the Company build a loyal customer base and achieve this remarkable milestone. The Company’s DNA comprises of System, Humanity and Contribution. The revenues have grown 100x since its inception in 2015 and almost doubled this fiscal year to Rs. 100 crores, compared to the last fiscal year’s revenue of Rs. 54 crores.

The Founder & Chairman Mr. Bhupat Sukhadiya hails from a modest farming background and he was managing production at a dairy plant with a salary of Rs. 2,500. To understand the market nuances, he wanted to start working on field, but his request was rejected. This being a blessing in disguise, motivated him to start his own venture. He began with a small 350 sq. ft shop in Surat and after 18 months began trading in ghee. Post this, he envisioned having his own dairy manufacturing facility, which led to the birth of Shree Radhe Dairy (popularly known as Vastu Dairy) in 2015. His belief has been to not only have a system-driven organization but also contribute to the growth and development of everyone who is a part of his ecosystem.

Mr. Bhupat Sukhadiya – Founder & Chairman, commented “This milestone is an affirmation of our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. As we look towards the future, we are excited about the opportunities and challenges ahead of us. This milestone would not have been possible without the support of our dedicated team, loyal partners and customers. We remain steadfast in our commitment to push boundaries, and we look forward to celebrating many more milestones in the near future.”

The future plan includes expanding their reach to international markets, expansion of their manufacturing facilities and increasing customer base. While their methods are traditional, their approach is unconventional. The organization has adopted newer techniques of packaging, delivery, safety parameters and more via scientific methods. The company aims to be the leading pure ghee manufacturer and supplier in India.

About Shree Radhe Dairy (Vastu Dairy)

The manufacturing facility is spread across 75,000 sq. ft in Pipodara near Surat and has over 250 employees.

The bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank and its impact on the markets by Antonio Velardo

The bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank and its impact on the markets by Antonio Velardo

The banking crisis and subsequent collapse of Silicon Valley Bank presents a compelling case study that deserves analysis. Antonio Velardo tells us how SVB, one of the main lenders of venture capital funds and emerging technology companies, sank.

The problem of diversification

The bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank was partly due to the lack of diversification of its investments. Much of its deposits were in long-term U.S. Treasury bonds and agency-backed mortgage securities, which became a problem when interest rates rose. Additionally, when the economic crisis hit the technology sector, many clients withdrew their money and the bank was unable to cover its obligations due to a lack of cash, declaring bankruptcy just 48 hours later.

Bank run

The bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank, says Antonio Velardo, was exacerbated by a bank run triggered in part by social media, which sowed panic over the bank’s lack of funds. After the announcement of a capital raise, SVB’s stock plummeted 60% on March 7. The next day, California regulators closed the bank and placed it under the FDIC’s supervision. Major technology companies such as Roku and Etsy had significant amounts of cash in SVB accounts, but the accounts were only insured up to $250,000.

Impact of the banking crisis on the technology sector

The technology sector has been greatly affected, as large technology companies have cut jobs and start-ups may have funding issues. “Markets are predicting a 37% probability of a 75 basis point cut in the Fed funds rate for the last meeting of this year,” clarifies Antonio Velardo.

Market outlook and sector allocation

“As a macroeconomic and equity analyst, I have observed that financing is becoming increasingly selective, and the companies that are at the greatest risk are those that are overly leveraged and have used leverage to acquire overvalued assets,” notes Antonio Velardo. These companies lack the ability to manage expensive debt and do not have the asset value to meet their debt service.

Finally, Antonio Velardo says that central banks are in a difficult position as they try to balance financial stability and inflation, which offers opportunities to investors. Additionally, for policymakers, this task poses a difficult challenge to overcome. “We must ask ourselves if a soft landing is still possible or if difficult decisions will be necessary.”

Reliance Industries Ltd to Increase Gas Production

Reliance Industries Ltd to Increase Gas Production

Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) is set to commence natural gas production from the KG-D6 block, off the Andhra coast in India, this quarter. The block is India’s only deepwater block under production and will reportedly meet 15% of India’s gas demand. The block is said to have averaged 20 million standard cubic meters per day of production in the January-March quarter. The gas will be produced in partnership with UK-based energy company BP.

RIL and BP are currently nearing the start of production from their giant MJ deep-water project, which will significantly boost gas output from the east coast asset. The MJ field is expected to commence production in the first quarter of the financial year 2023-24 (April 2023 to March 2024). RIL is the operator of the block and had earlier planned to start production in the December quarter, but it was delayed by three months.

The two companies are spending approximately $5 billion on developing KG-D6 through three different projects, aimed at rejuvenating gas production from the offshore asset. While the first two developments – R-cluster and Satellite Cluster – have already started gas production, MJ is now nearing completion. The start of MJ is expected to take KG-D6 gas production to 30 million standard cubic meters per day in FY24, according to RIL’s presentation.

Testing and commissioning are underway in the MJ field and one well has been opened as part of the ongoing testing of the integrated production system. The company has already sold 6 million standard cubic meters per day of gas to companies in the city gas, power, and fertilizer sectors.

RIL and BP plan to use a floating production system in the Bay of Bengal to bring the deepest gas discovery in the KG-D6 block to production. The MJ-1 gas find is located about 2,000 meters directly below the Dhirubhai-1 and 3 fields, the first and largest fields in the KG-D6 block. MJ-1 is estimated to hold a minimum of 0.988 trillion cubic feet of contingent resources.

In summary, RIL’s commencement of natural gas production from the KG-D6 block is set to meet 15% of India’s gas demand. The partnership with BP on the MJ deep-water project is expected to significantly boost gas output from the prized east coast asset.

The event brought together people from various walks of life including educationists, school principals, teachers, mentors, and parents to discuss the opportunities presented by the New Education Policy (NEP).

The conclave was graced by Shri (Brig.) L.C. Patnaik, Ex President SSB board, Ex Chairman Odisha Public Service Commission; Shri (Dr.) V.P. Yadav, Chairman, Board of School Education Haryana; and Shri Yuvraj Malik, Director, National Book Trust, as dignitaries on the dias.

Thereafter, the speakers at the event delved deep into the various aspects of the NEP, with Brig. L.C. Patnaik highlighting the role played by teachers and soldiers in shaping the destiny of the nation. He discussed how India, once known as a producer of knowledge has become a net consumer of it, requires immediate attention at various levels of policy making and execution.

While tracing the evolution of India’s education journey since independence, Brig. Patnaik focused on 4 E’s, namely, Expansion, Equity, Excellence, and Employment. He recognized that while India had already achieved the first two E’s with near universal enrollment in school education and greater equity across socio-economic backgrounds, the attainment of remaining two E’s, viz Excellence and Employment, will be accomplished through the successful implementation of the New Education Policy. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of entrepreneurial pedagogy and value-based education in shaping the future of the education system.

Thereafter, Dr. V. P. Yadav explained the critical components of the NEP which included emphasis on multilingualism, need for innovation, skill development, vocational education, and competency based learning. He stressed upon the need to imbue Indian values in our education system and the need behind giving adequate weightage to our rich cultural heritage in school curriculum. He also highlighted the glorious history of Sanskrit language, its literature and importance of its propagation to the future generations.

Later on, Shri Yuvraj Malik emphasized on the importance of Competence-based learning in the present education system in India. According to him, innovation in teaching methodology and curriculum is the key solution to reduce high dropout rates in schools. Shri Malik further recommended bridging the academia-industry gap and introducing early vocational studies including internships to foster a culture of innovation and creative thinking among Indian youth. He exhorted all the educators present at the conclave to adopt innovative pedagogy to meaningfully engage the students to improve their learning outcomes and also shared real life examples from his own experiences. He laid specific emphasis on the need for inculcating book reading habits among children from an early age and the role played by parents and teachers in the development of such habits.

In the penultimate part of the conclave, participants engaged the panel members through a question-answer session to know the various nuances of the NEP and its implementation in schools across the country.

Towards the end, Shri Ajay Kumar Singh delivered the vote of thanks and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the dignitaries, esteemed guests, and all the participants for giving their precious time and making the event a success. He expressed his confidence in the ability of young minds in solving real life challenges through innovation and creativity. Shri Ajay Kumar Singh mentioned books as the true friend of students and emphasized on developing book reading habits among students from a young age.
