Anyone who uses instagram and wants to help me with something silly but important for me? (Family related) Drop a DM pls. (Not upsc related)

1056 seats.

Why exciting for me? Because it's the first time I am teaching in a course. If you have loved my content, then be assured of the best quality here too. Plus Many of had asked for a essay course in DMs, youtube comments etc. So here it is, an affordable one! Join soon, classes to begin soon.

Congratulations to everyone who gave Mains 2024! While only a few chosen one's are ever able to give MAINS, but not many acknowledge the mental toll it takes on us. Having gone through 3 mains, i know just sitting through one ages you by 1-2 years due to the pressure, and soul sucking schedule of exam. All your plans post exams go down the drain and you just want to sleep for a month. Regardless, Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” While the phrase has become somewhat of a cliché, it captures a fundamental truth: our most challenging experiences often serve as the crucible in which our character is forged. Further, I have been grateful to have talked/mentored/made freindships with so many mains giving aspirants through this group, and we shall all pray that you all come out with flying colors. If anyone of you wants to share your experience of mains through a write up/Video on youtube feel free to DM me, we can do this for entire community. My ID: @Sidiswel Also, if you have given mains along with taking help from this community, and haven't interacted with me even once, feel free to DM me today, would love to hear from you!

If someone wins any prices on this let me know! All the best, it’s just a mock test, don’t stress out and ask me ‘sir I scored this, will I pass prelims etc’

Dear Aspirants,🙏 This poll focuses on the kind of mentorship that can truly support your UPSC journey. We want to understand what matters most to you in a mentor. 🎯 ✅Your inputs will directly shape how we design mentorship

2024 was full of challenges, and changes. It taught us that not every ending is a loss. Sometimes it's the way of the universe to make space for something bigger and better. 2024 gave us the hard times we didn't want to face and the losses we didn't expect. Despite this, it gave us the hope that something better awaits us and that not all losses are to be feared. Some are to be embraced with open arms. Happy New Year guys. You people have been amazing. 🤩 ~Prashant

🔥🔥UPI Recognized as World’s Largest Real-Time Payment System by IMF; Accounts for 49% of Global Transactions⭐️⭐️ ✅UPI is a real-time payment system launched in 2016 by NPCI under the aegis of Reserve Bank of India (RBI). ✅It enables instantaneous fund transfers between bank accounts using a mobile application or QR-code, 24/7, regardless of bank working hours. ✅UPI supports both peer-to-peer (P2P) and merchant payments (P2M), simplifying daily transactions and reducing reliance on cash. ✅It forms part of India’s broader “digital public infrastructure” — interoperable, bank-agnostic, and open to multiple apps (e.g. BHIM, third-party fintech wallets). ✅For comparison: Brazil’s platform comes second (37.4 bn; 14%), then Thailand (20.4 bn; 8%), China (17.2 bn; 6%), South Korea (9.1 bn; 3%), and others combined 20% share. ✅Within India, UPI has catalyzed digital payment penetration: as of FY 2024-25, tens of crores of QR codes and digital touchpoints (merchant POS) were deployed under the Payments Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF), enabling even small merchants in rural/tier-3 to tier-6 areas to accept digital payments. ✅This makes UPI not just a technology tool but a pillar in the financial inclusion and digital economy architecture of India — important from the viewpoint of economic development, fiscal management, and technology-led governance. ✅UPI cross-border or merchant acceptance is  in several countries Like: ✔️Bhutan-First foreign country to accept UPI (BHIM) for cross-border/QR payments. ✔️Nepal-UPI live via local partner network (Fonepay) — Indian customers can pay merchants in Nepal using UPI. ✔️Mauritius-UPI & RuPay accepted (tourism, remittance support) as per latest lists (2025). ✔️Singapore-UPI acceptance via integration (with its PayNow) — useful for travelers/tourists. ✔️Sri Lanka Added to UPI list (2024), enabling merchant payments for Indian users. ✔️United Arab Emirates- (UAE)UPI accepted; many outlets  support QR-based payments via UPI. ✔️France-First major European country to start accepting UPI (tourist/ retail spots) — signifying UPI’s entry into Europe.

The rakhi reached. You didn't. 🧵 Nobody claps for this trade - giving up one day of home today so you can give them a lifetime of comfort tomorrow. To everyone in a PG room tonight - bad food, open syllabus, festival outside the window: what you're doing is also a form of protection. Salute. 🫡 And if you went home - don't feel guilty for a second. One day of laddoos doesn't cancel months of grind. Enjoy it fully. That's an order. The thread reached. So will you.

So many msgs like this fills me with happiness! (Can check more- https://t.me/feedbackupscbeyondd) For those who couldn’t make it, take 3-4 days off to clear your head! Next year phodna hain! P.s closing mentorship batches for mains and yearlong mentorship in next 2 days! If interested do ping me @sidiswel
