​𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝘆𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆𝗮: Grounded in serving the most deprived first and viewing economic empowerment as a core state responsibility. ​𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Overcame decades of financial exclusion and massive benefit leakages where formal credit and state support barely reached the poor. ​𝗣𝗠𝗝𝗗𝗬 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 & 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀: Launched in 2014, the scheme crossed 58 crore accounts with deposits exceeding ₹3 lakh crore by July 2026, with over half held by women. ​𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: Used zero-balance accounts, RuPay cards, insurance, and overdraft facilities to make accounts functional and bridge entry barriers. ​𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝗔𝗠 & 𝗨𝗣𝗜: Serves as the first layer of the JAM architecture, enabling Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) and laying the groundwork for digital public infrastructure like UPI. ​𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 & 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆: Acts as a symbol of recognition and respect, bringing marginalized populations into formal financial democracy.

9 years ago we started so to change the world… we were annoyed with the way things were… in the world of upsc coaching.. 9 years have passed… not sure how much world we could change.. but delighted to be able to change the world although of a few.. Teaching is a long game.. you sow seeds.. and at times they take years to grow into full bloom .. But equally true is the thought that a lot of work is still left.. so many students to teach .. so many minds to reach… But here we are 9 years have passed And sleepy just feels like a young startup Enthusiasm to see the change Energy to make it happen This 9 years post is not a self congratulatory, feeling like marketing post This is a letter to the future That we made it this far That means we must be doing something right Just that we want to be doing it for a lot and a lot and lot of students of India and the world And here I want to tell you we are so content with our work to know we must be doing something good to come this far but at the same time so dissatisfied to know that this is not it 😊

Doston aaj sleepy start kiye 9 saal ho gaye 😊

When laws shaping the future of a nation are passed in under five minutes and questions go unasked, a democracy isn't functioning. it is merely going through the motions. ​Here is a breakdown of the growing crisis in our parliamentary system: ​𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The 19-day monsoon session suffered a near-total washout, with the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha functioning for only 15% and 33% of their scheduled time, respectively. ​𝗘𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘆: The speed of passing legislation has replaced comprehensive committee examination, with 11 bills passed amidst disruptions at an average of roughly five minutes per bill. ​𝗕𝘆𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗲𝘀: Critical legislation, like the Foreign Contribution Regulation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, was pushed through without committee referrals, reflecting a decline in rigorous legislative review. ​𝗟𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Widespread disruptions virtually halted the Question Hour lasting only nine minutes in the Lok Sabha preventing MPs from questioning the government on policy and fund utilization. ​𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀: Simply increasing the number of MPs or expanding physical seating will not improve institutional effectiveness without political consensus and procedural overhauls across party lines.

​𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲: The Bill links Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) entitlements to household size at 7 kg per person to fix intra-category inequities between small and large families. ​𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗡𝗖𝗗𝘀: While households unable to afford a healthy diet dropped from ~52% in 2011–12 to ~25% in 2023–24, India faces a double burden of malnutrition and rising non-communicable diseases from cereal-heavy diets. ​𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀: Capping entitlements at 35 kg penalizes larger families by lowering per-capita allocations, coverage remains tied to the outdated 2011 Census, and the PDS lacks structural integration of nutrient-dense foods. ​𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱: Update beneficiary limits with upcoming Census data, finance dietary diversification separately without cutting core cereal entitlements, and strengthen digital last-mile delivery alongside reliable offline safeguards.

​𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 & 𝗙𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁: India imports 55% to 60% of its edible oil, spending over $20 billion annually. ​𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗢𝗶𝗹𝘀 (𝗡𝗠𝗘𝗢-𝗢𝗣): Targets expanding palm oil cultivation to 10 lakh hectares by 2025–26 and 16.7 lakh hectares by 2029–30, backed by guaranteed prices and subsidies. ​𝗬𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲: Palm oil yields 3 to 4 tonnes per hectare annually, which is significantly higher than traditional oilseeds like mustard or groundnut (0.3–0.4 tonnes). ​𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 & 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀: Mustard and soybean serve as immediate production pillars (with mustard output reaching 12.4 million tonnes), but structural hurdles like yield stagnation and infrastructure gaps remain. ​𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: The mission opens avenues in the North-East, high-value niche oils (rice bran and cold-pressed), and secondary demand through biofuel blending policies.
