UPSC CSE Why

1. Lee Commission 1924 • Formation & Purpose: a) u/ Sir Alexander Lee to review structure & organization of ICS & other services in British rule to focus on Indianization & admin efficiency b) 50-50 recruitment ratio for Indians & Europeans by 1939 to promote Indian participation c) Commission to conduct fair recruitment via exams + improvements in salaries/pensions Impact: Laid Groundwork for greater Indian rep in civil services, impacted GoI Act 1919 Limitations: Didn't address demands for complete Indianization; criticised for maintaining British dominance in key posts. 2. Federal Public Services Commission (1937) • Establishment: u/ GoI Act 1935 to oversee recruitment & admin of federal & provincial public services in India • Key Features: Independent body to conduct examinations, ensure merit-based recruitment for civil services • Aim: regulate appointments and reduce political interference • Served as a precursor to modern UPSC post-independence • Significance: Strengthened framework civil services, ensured continuity in admin recruitment during transition to provincial autonomy • Challenges: British control = limited scope

1. GLOF: Wrote a detailed blog explaining the nuances of Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) 2. Prophylaxis • Definition & Importance: Gold standard treatment for haemophilia, a genetic bleeding disorder, preventing severe bleeds and reducing the risk of joint damage, disability, and long-term complications, especially in India where it affects approximately 1 in 10,000 males. • Benefits: Regular prophylaxis significantly improves quality of life by preventing spontaneous bleeding, maintaining joint health, and reducing the need for frequent treatments, with evidence showing a 90% reduction in bleeds when started early, as demonstrated in awareness campaigns and studies. • Challenges & Implementation: Despite its efficacy, prophylaxis faces challenges such as high costs, limited access in developing regions, and the need for consistent administration, necessitating awareness, education, and policy advocacy to ensure its integration into healthcare systems for effective management.
