Hear me out on this till end and you’d know ONE thing to take you closer to your UPSC success.
Ignore this post ONLY if you believe yourself to be “Sarvagyani” and know it all!
I find it funny when most students treat UPSC PYQs as JUST another practice set/
Truth? PYQs are not random. It’s science. It comes with clear logic behind it.
Don’t believe me, see proofs below
Here, I decode!
See these questions and for once we can tell that
Across three different years, UPSC has directly framed questions around inclusive growth in different contexts:
2019 → Strategy of inclusive growth & sustainability.
2020 → Intra- & inter-generational equity, linked with inclusive growth.
2025 → HDI vs IHDI, and why IHDI is a better measure of inclusive growth.
Not just definitions. UPSC wants Concept and Application :
Conceptual clarity (HDI vs IHDI, meaning of equity, strategy of inclusive growth).
Application to India’s context (poverty, inequality, sustainability, demographic dividend, intergenerational justice).
Further these questions fall under GS Paper 2 (Governance & Welfare) and GS Paper 3 (Inclusive Growth, Sustainable Development, Economy)
So we can easily say that :
Patterns repeat – once you decode them, you know exactly what the examiner values. Certain ideas are evergreen.
Concepts evolve – the same idea reappears in a different disguise. Aspirants must prepare each core concept in 3 layers:
Definition/Concept (what it means).
Indian context/examples (NITI Aayog, UNDP, Budget, policies).
Critical view (limitations, reforms needed, case studies).
📌 Themes connect – History, Economy, Science & Tech, Ethics – all interlinked. So Stop Studying in Silos!
