Dear friends, So, we are here seeing the Mains results. Many of you would have made it and some of you wouldn't. For those who didn't make it ,don't be disheartened. This too shall pass.Take a few days off and again pick up your weapons to fight for glory. Display your best fight with the shining sword of your hard work and patience. You shall prevail! Congrats to those who made it. Prepare for personality test and keep preparing for successive attempts too, side by side. Buddha famously gave his piece of mind with the lines, “Life is like the harp string, if it is strung too tight it won’t play, if it is too loose it hangs, the tension that produces the beautiful sound lies in the middle.”   The idea of moderation is emphasized by Buddha. It's often said the excess of everything is bad. The reason behind it is that,excess of anything has problems of its own. It may lead to divergence from the noble path. Over ambition may lead to de-motivation if things go haywire, no ambition leads to lack of sense of purpose in lives. The list goes on.... Usage we won't mention today. It's more of a life toolkit and we leave it to you where all you want to use it, life, exam, relationships etc etc. Warm Regards Team Steel Frame Academy

Data:(Warning:Long but important post) CAG latest report, 2024 says 18 states were yet to fully implement the 74th CAA in spirit.42 per cent gap between their resources and expenditure; only 29 per cent of expenditure goes towards  development work. Also, 32% revenue of ULSG's were from own sources and only 56% of their property tax were realised. Average vacancy of 37 per cent against the sanctioned staff strength;urban bodies of 16 states had limited or no power over recruitment. As per the 74th Amendment, states were meant to devolve 18 functions, including urban planning, regulation of land use,water supply etc. The CAG found that on average, 17 out of the 18 functions had been devolved. “Urban planning and fire services are the least devolved functions by law,” the CAG compendium said. Only four of the functions devolved to urban local bodies were with “complete autonomy”. The CAG recommended that states involve urban local bodies in critical functions like planning. 50 per cent of India will be residing in cities by 2050,hence, robust ULSGs are pertinent, for they are critical players in delivering good quality of life to their citizens.
