After 12^th, students aspire to go to different fields such as Engineering, Medical, Commerce, IT, Humanities and so on. But what is more important is what they will be after the next 4 years of their career. Here comes the question of being in a position where you can get SATISFACTION that will decide your entire life. This satisfaction stems from working in a field where your decisions will have a direct impact on the system. Yes, we are talking about UPSC Civil Services Examination which can post you in diversified fields such as IAS, IPS, IFS, IRS and so on. UPSC-CSE is one of the top ten toughest exams of the world. Nowadays, it has become a trend where students from almost all fields are preparing for UPSC/IAS while pursuing their graduation. Civil Services is known as one of the most prestigious careers in India’s Administrative structure. These jobs have certain privileges. First of all, you will be trained at LBSNAA which in itself is a place of heaven. You will be provided opportunities to serve in diverse fields. A civil servant is provided various perks and privileges. And yes, there is a handsome salary and allowances also!!! A civil servant is regarded as one of the most powerful officers of his/her department also. But, one thing should be kept in mind.

“With Great Powers comes Great Responsibilities.”

Being an IAS officer means having control over a Whole district. Your designation would vary from a DM or collector to a Cabinet Secretary. Being an IPS means having control the whole Police Force of your district where your designation would range from being an SP of a District to a DGP of the State. You will also be provided opportunities to work in various agencies such as CBI, IB, NIA, RAW and many more. When you are given such supreme control, you are also responsible for any mismanagement happening within your jurisdiction. But this sense of responsibility is the beauty of this job. It makes you feel proud of yourself. It cherishes you to serve for the nation. It shows your valuable contribution in the development of your country.

So, all of this makes Civil Services a best option after 12^th Standard. But the question is how to prepare for this examination. This is one of the topmost competitive examinations of our country. We cannot deny the fact that only few candidates can clear this examination out of almost half a million. So, what is the core elements that help those few to clear it. It is EARLY PREPARATION. Successful candidates have one thing in common i.e., they have started preparation in the earlier days of their academic career. As mentioned above, those who have just cleared their 12^th Examination and Pursuing for Graduation are the perfect candidates to prepare for this exam. Earlier preparation has certain added advantages that latecomers won’t have such as, Conceptual clarity, Disciplined Study, Self-analysis, Complete coverage of the syllabus, in-depth understanding, enough time devotion to the optional subject, Proper Planning and Practice of MCQs and Mains answer writing practice and at last, being familiar with the process of the Civil Services Examination. There is also one more advantage which can be regarded as one of the most important among all if we talk about your professional career as a Civil Servant. Those who start preparation just after completing their schooling possibly tend to clear this examination in their first attempt. Clearing this examination in the first attempt means you will have a higher number of years to serve for the country as compared to those who joined late. So, there are higher chances of promotion also. Joining IAS at the early stage can give you the opportunity to serve as the Cabinet Secretary also. All these benefits are not fully available to those who join the services late.

If we look at the present scenario, more than 60% of the toppers of UPSC-CSE belong to this category. They have started their preparation in the early stage of their academic career. Some examples are, Tina Dabi (AIR-1, 2015), SafinHasan, AnudeepDurishetty, Junaid Ahmed and many more.

If you want to be a part of this list, DELHI INSTITUTE FOR CIVIL SERVICES (DICS) can guide you to ace your goal. DICS has recently been awarded as the Best UPSC/IAS Coaching Institute of Gujarat by News18 Group. It provides the Best coaching for UPSC-CSE at Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Vadodara and soon opening in Surat. For more details, visit their website www.dics.co

 “Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air”, the aforementioned quote speaks volumes about the power of journalism and its role in seeking an empowered society where each class and group has a stake.

Being incepted in 2016, the aim of the channel was to explicitly propagate the rich culture, political ups and downs, news from around the world and related to the state of Bihar while having special shows on women and Bihari cuisine.

Headquartered in Sector 132, Noida, Quant Media is a state-of-the-art news agency which has emerged with its revolutionary journalism to empower the masses in India.

With its nationally acclaimed news platforms, Live India and Live News, the firm is led by ace journalist with years of stalwarthy experience, Director and Managing editor Basant Jha who has conceptualised the vision of Live Bihar and is proving it’s mettle across the country.

Having spent a substantial amount of time in the rural vicinities of Bihar and Jharkhand.  He traveled from villages to villages to get a first hand insight of these states and the communities who may migrate to other states but have their heart intact with their native states.

Basant Jha now visualises a dream to copy the same streak in Jharkhand and bless their natives with adequate reporting on its rich cultural heritage, life style and life philosophy of the natives, tribals there which is very different yet something which needs to be communicated across the country.

“It is because of my various work assignments and constant inclination to understand more about the rural lives of some of the most unreported areas in the country that I became sensitive to the idea of taking their tremendous cultural richness to those who connect their heart with these areas. We deploy our stringers from the most basic levels to up until the district level. We are driven to continue this streak in all our endeavours so that such news which is not covered by the mainstream national news channels and agencies reaches those whose hearts beat for Bihar and Jharkhand ”, says director and managing editor Basant Jha.

Their most celebrated platform, Live Bihar has received accolades on many fronts because of their robust and impartial reporting that caters to each nook and corner of Bihar. Being hailed by leaders of the opposition parties and ruling party alike, it is because of their strong work ethic that their commendable social media work is received exceedingly well by leaders and citizens equally in Bihar.

Not only this, it was because of their unprecedented efforts at catering to the most left out sections to bind all natives of Bihar that Saroj Jha, Regional Director of the World Bank, labelled Live Bihar as a new communication revolution for Bihar.

Paytm is asking its employees if they want to sell stock in the digital payments company’s anticipated initial public offering, bringing the country one step closer to the country’s largest stock market debut ever.

The company, formerly known as One97 Communications Ltd., delivered the “offer for sale” to its staff on Monday as it prepared to file for an IPO, according to documents obtained by Bloomberg News. Paytm’s board has accepted the offering plans in principle, according to a source familiar with the situation, and is creating the drafted red herring prospectus, which could be launched as early as the weekend

Bloomberg News reported in May that the business, whose investors include Berkshire Hathaway Inc., SoftBank Group Corp., and Ant Group Co., is looking to raise approximately 218 billion rupees ($3 billion) at a valuation of $25 billion to $30 billion. In 2010, Coal India Ltd. raised more than 150 billion rupees in the country’s largest initial public offering (IPO).

One97, which was recently valued at $16 billion by unicorn tracker CB Insights, is part of a new wave of promising Indian entrepreneurs. During one historic week in April, six firms achieved unicorn status in the digital industry, with valuations of $1 billion or more.

To comply with Indian legal requirements, Paytm’s public market debut will contain a combination of new and existing shares. According to the country’s legislation, 10% of shares must be floated within two years and 25% within five years.

Employees will be able to sell their shares as part of the IPO through the offer for sale, or OFS. According to the filings, Paytm’s board of directors has given preliminary consent to the debut, but formal clearance will not come until the prospectus is finished.

According to the documents, if current shareholders seek to sell more shares in aggregate than was allowed at the IPO, their capacity to sell stock will be assessed on a pro-rata basis.

On the offering, Morgan Stanley is collaborating with Paytm. Paytm did not respond to a request for comment on the listing.

Employees can take part in the IPO by agreeing to sell all or part of their equity shares, a decision that must be made before the first offering documents are filed with the country’s regulator. The notice said that any equity shares not sold during the offering would be locked in for a year.

Mumbai has 17,791 cases, down from 54,162 a month ago on Monday.

The decrease in active instances can be ascribed to a reduction in daily Covid-19 instances, according to Dr. Subhash Salunke, the state’s Covid-19 management advisor. “The lockdown as well as other factors such as ramping up of tests and regular supply of medicines ensured reduction of cases. In areas like Kolhapur, the virus came late, and hence, active cases there will come down in the next 15 days,” said Salunke.

It shows that Covid has peaked and is on the decline, according to Dr. Jeevan Jain, a physician who has treated over 15,000 Covid patients.“We will see a fewer number of active cases in the coming days. We are also seeing good recovery rates. It indicates the second wave is waning and will soon become history,” said Dr. Jain.
