It's a thread for those who couldn't clear #Prelims even after ≥2nd GOOD attempt.

"लगातार कोशिश करते रहो, सफलता जरूर मिलेगी"
Such lines sound good in Motivational videos, but may be disastrous for the life of many #UPSC aspirants.
(1/n)
I know a lot of "erstwhile" aspirants who invested their entire youth (20s & early 30s) in #UPSC preparation, but were left empty-handed after exhausting their age/attempts. Thus, destroying their potentials.
So, realising when to quit this exam is extremely critical.
(2/n)
3 thoughts which prevent aspirants from taking such decision:
💭1. Gambler's Fallacy: "I've invested time & energy for this exam, & have accumulated so much Knowledge. It will all get wasted if I quit. I cannot fail everytime. Better to try once more, probably i will succeed."
"Human-Wildlife Conflict" refers to negative interaction between humans & wild animals, leading to adverse impacts: crop loss, livestock kill, property damage, human injury/death on one hand, & retaliation against wildlife on the other hand.

1/n
Human-Wildlife Conflicts (HWC) are becoming more frequent, serious and widespread due to expansion of human populations, development aspirations, climate change and Habitat loss & fragmentation.
2/n
HWC Management strategies:
* Prevention: Wildlife Movement Tracking (by Patrolling teams, Drones, Camera Traps, Sensors) & Warning Systems, Community Awareness & Training
In past few months, I tried to share #UPSCPrelims Tricks/Tips with aspirants. Initially, I had planned to cover last 5-6 yrs' >100Qs where we can get answer with Logic. But due to work load, I couldn't get time for it.
2021 is mostly coverd. Sharing the remaining Qs of 2020 now.
Economy has a lot of interrelations & interconnections.
In Economy Questions asking about the Reasons, Factors, Causes, Impacts, Effects etc, keep your mind open and think of different logical possibilities.
