Please READ
1) These notes are too short and exhaustive ,so Current affairs will be easy to remember.only at max 2 hours to revise
2) Just try to recall June ..and introspect how much you remember
3) Notes of coaching centers don't cover The Hindu newspaper exhaustively...for example...pakhui national park,prosopis julifera,hunger striken countries in prelims 2018 ..which were in news continuously but ignored by coaching institutes
4) out of one lakh Serious candidates ...90000 will score just 1 or 2 marks below cut off ..and hence this initiative will try to create a difference
5) Notes making requires time which is scarce resource in this preparation

1.UNEP founded by Maurice Strong, its first director, as a result of the UN Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm Conference) in June 1972.
UNEP has overall responsibility for environmental problems among United Nations agencies but talks on addressing global warming are overseen by the Bonn-based Secretariat of the UNFCCC. Its activities cover a wide range of issues regarding the atmosphere(A), marine(M) and terrestrial ecosystems(TE), environmental governance(EG) and green economy(GE), UNEP has also been active in funding and implementing environment related development projects.
IPCC: The WMO and UNEP established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988. UNEP is also one of several Implementing Agencies for the Global Environment Facility (GEF).The "International Cyanide Management Code", a program of best practice for the chemical’s use at gold mining operations, was developed under UNEP’s aegis.
2. Higgs boson has at last been observed decaying into fundamental particles in pair of bottom quarks.
The finding, presented by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is consistent with the hypothesis that the all-pervading quantum field behind the Higgs boson also gives mass to the bottom quark.
3. HORIZON 2020 project is expected to contribute to the achievement of SDG 3 to ensure health and well-being for all and boost the Indian National Health Mission.
4. UK state government had failed to constitute a Special Tiger Protection Force despite the court’s order.

Some knowledgeable soul who has done good research on PYQs and on expectations of UPSC, please share your extremely valuable thoughts:

(1) Are institutions like 'Asian Electoral Stakeholder Forum' can be considered important from UPSC Pre or even Mains perspective?
I have noticed such CA items earlier and thought that Insights is experienced so they know better. But now i have serious doubts on importance of many items and the depth in which they are shared here. (2) Are these items really worth the time?
I understand that Insight might be trying to provide coverage, but i sometime have a feeling that they are trying to cover 5-6 topics every day even if 2-3 of them are not worthy. (3) Is this really the case?
I understand the value provided by Insights and am not trying to belittle their efforts. At the same time, they do have commercial interests and might feel burdened to upload content to keep their users especially new ones. (4) Can this be true?
Also, previously some people have commented that only a small %age of content uploaded here is of value and is an overkill (No references, short on time to research this)

Kindly do not consider this as a plot to deviate aspirants from their path & approach, i am just trying to refine mine and may be of others as well.

If anyone is gracious enough and feels like helping, i can share my mobile number for 1-on-1.

Thanks!!
(Please excuse typos)
