Assuming
you
are

with
the

we
will
discuss
a
topic

what
to
read,

and

not
to

for
these

TOPIC
1
This
is
a
very
broad
area
and
includes
both
static
and
dynamic
part.
Before
going
for
big
books,
12/93
12/07/2015
it
is
compulsory
to
read
following
NCERT
textbooks

Three
books
above
will
make
your
concepts
very
clear.
After
understanding
your
concepts,
you
have
to
read
the
above
topics
by
relating
them
to
the
current
events.
For
this
reading
one
Business
newspaper
helps
15/93
12/07/2015
a
lot.
Business
standard
is
the
best
(if
you
are
comfortable
with
ET
or
FE,
it
is
fine.
But
do
try
BS
once)
More
questions
from
Economics
can
be
expected
in
this
paper
henceforth.
16/93
12/07/2015
To
be
ready
for
any
questions
that
UPSC
might
ask,
it
is
good
to
read
a
standard
book
on
these
topics.
There
are
many
books
on
Indian
economy
all
bulky.
Fortunately,
TMH
has
17/93
12/07/2015
released
a
book
on
Indian
economy
for
Prelims
and
Mains,
and
it
is
very
good
(by
Ramesh
Singh)
I
think
reading
this
book
is
a
18/93
12/07/2015
must.
Dont
go
for
Uma
Kapila,
Dutt
and
Sundaram
and
Mishra
Puri
unless
you
have
plenty
of
time
for
these.
For
now
sticking
to
one
good
book
is
advised.

a
hot
topic
these

Apart
of
getting

on

aspirants
also
have
to

TOPIC
This
is
a
hot
favourite
topic
for
UPSC
and
luckily
you
get
plenty
of
material
to
read
on
this
42/93
12/07/2015
topic.
That
is
the
problem.
In
this
exam,
sticking
to
one
source
is
the
secret
of
success
(of
course,
not
for
all
topics)
For
this
topic
read
from
following
two
sources
(IGNOU):
43/93
12/07/2015
TOPIC
You
can
read
these
topics
from
the
above
mentioned
book
44/93
12/07/2015
by
Ramesh
Singh.
It
is
explained
very
well.

Just
two
sources
one,
India

and

46/93
12/07/2015
TOPIC
10
This
is
a
puzzling
topic.
Because
it
is
given
along
with
Infrastructure
related
topics,
I
assume
it
to
be
related
to
47/93
12/07/2015
investment
models
applied
to
the
same
field.
If
not,
one
can
enumerate
so
many
investment
models
just
for
financial
sector
alone!
For
example,
within
PPP
model,
there
are
various
modalities

These
two
sources
might
help:
TOPIC
11
51/93
12/07/2015
52/93
12/07/2015
There
are
many
sources
for
these
topics:
First,
for
non
science
grads,
a
reading
of
NCERT
Class
VI
to
X
Science
Texts
is
53/93
12/07/2015
advised.
This
will
clear
many
concepts
for
you
and
will
enable
you
to
understand
other
topics
in
the
syllabus.
Second,
earlier,
toppers
used
to
recommend
a
book
by
Spectrum
publications,
54/93
12/07/2015
The
problem
with
this
book
is
its
vastness
they
have
simply
dumped
every
topic
in
detail
like
paranoid.
For
students
with
science
background
this
book
is
advised,
they
have
released
2013
55/93
12/07/2015
edition
you
have
to
study
it
selectively.
Very
selectively.
This
book
has
all
the
topics
that
are
included
in
the
syllabus
and
that
are
not
included
also.
If
one
goes
through
previous
question
papers,
56/93
12/07/2015
one
can
observe
that
UPSC
has
always
asked
questions
on
S&T
from
within
the
syllabus.
For
example,
there
will
be
a
question
on
biotechnology,
space,
robotics,
nanotechnology
and
computers
they
might
be
from
latest
57/93
12/07/2015
developments
in
the
respective
fields,
but
all
are
from
the
syllabus.
Third
source
is
The
Hindu
and
Frontline.
Every
Thursday,
The
Hindu
carries
a
separate
page
on
S&T
if
one
is
regular
with
58/93
12/07/2015
this
page
and
have
the
collection
of
cuttings,
this
will
help
in
5
mark
and
2
mark
questions
asked
from
current
event
section.
Fourth
source
is
Wikipedia
and
New
Scientist
sites.
From
this
site,
59/93
12/07/2015
read
articles
on
Nanotechnology
Robotics
IPR
etc.
Under
IPR,
you
may
have
to
read
about
Novartis
case,
so
The
Hindu
article
is
here.
TRIPS
is
important.
For
Indias
achievements
in
the
field
of
60/93
12/07/2015
S&T,
you
must
read
India
2013
Year
Book
(chapters
on
Defence
and
Scientific
and
technological
developments
TOPIC
12
BASICS:
61/93
12/07/2015
This
particular
topic
encompasses
topics
such
as
biodiversity
and
climate
change,
forest
and
wildlife
conservation,
river
conservation,
pollution
in
cities,
waste
management,
pollution
from
human
activities,
marine
pollution
etc
so
62/93
12/07/2015
it
is
a
vast
area.
This
has
to
