Can you tell me that in Indian economy
for civils, whether to concentrate more on factual data and figures or conceptual analyse or both equally
can me in percentages
Concepts are important. Approximate idea about facts and figures would suffice.
actually we need to focus more on authentic data which will enable us to make authentic answer. basic concepts should be there to analyse the facts and data we have.
For prelims facts are necessary but for mains not need to concentrate on factss rather simple idea is kk

hey man
great post. could you please review “madhur mahajan- indian economy for upsc”?
That seems to be missing from your list “Useful Books to study Economics”.i want to pick the best book so that i can reread/read between the lines to understand concepts and write analytical and logical answers.i want a book which is comprehensive ,logical, lucid, unlike sriramias (which i also read partly) which is comprehensive but seems to be copy/paste.this book seems to fullfill all conditions and had glowing reviewers(blurb) from toppers and academics.it is definitely better than ramesh singh. could you do a comparative review of this book with other books? thanks in advance.great work on this notes.
Really this is good initiative for providing such basic conceptual notes in pdf format so that we follow these notes for our self understanding.great work by CLEAR IAS🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️

It’s really good. Though all the answers are clearly given in the book, this is helpful as a reference. The answers are brief and to the point. The diagrams are appropriate and understandable
