**** Update:- All the work allocations are completed**** No new allocations needed now.
1) Notes for DowntoEarth magazine is to made from June-2019 to July-2020 (both fortnights). By entering this voluntary initiative, the participant is self-assertive that he has good notes making skill and he can contribute to 'the common good'.
2) Though I recommend digital notes, feel free to make notes in digital format or on paper. ( just make sure the writing is notdoctorish.) however, if you are making physical notes and if find any important infographs, copy them and send in separate file.
3) Select an available month and make notes onbothfortnights. Please check the 1st comment to know the available month. If you are new, please pick up your month and let me know so that i can update the muster
4) Lets keep in mind the syllabus and questions-asking pattern of GS-1(physical/human geography aka indian society), GS-2 (IR related / Welfare-Development related) GS-3 (Economy,SnT, Environment) GS-4 (Bio ethics...) while making notes
5) After finishing your notes share the google drive links here
6) Lets make sure that, all of us complete our part of the work by this saturday August-15. 2020. If you can submit your part even before, it's appreciated
7) Downtoearth is available on telegram search "downtoearth11". This is shared purely for knowledge purpose. If you have access to physical copy, it is fine
8) If this initiative is successful, we can proceed with other such magazines to reap maximum benefit. At an individual level, we spend some 5-6 hrs, but we reap a multitude of benefit.
9) Before making notes, it is suggested that we go through the syllabus and previous year papers. This helps us in streamlining our notes
10) The success of this initiative depends on our collective intellect and sincere effort. So, let's be truthful to ourselves and let's make our answers resplendent with quality content (issue specific analysis/case studies/ key statistics/ quotable quotes...)
@wakanda, kindly check your messenger and confirm whether you could access the spreadsheet. Since you are the first contributor, you are alone there. But, all of us will soon join by this evening. pls check and confirm
@Chanakya, bhai link DM'mmed . check if its working. sit and relax, others will be joining you soon.
Gentle reminder:- 5 hours more to the finish line. till now 3/14 completed their part
If anyone of us feel that the content in a selected month is already covered in vision magazine or in any other website already, lets create a hyperlink of content and make index of topics which are to be referred from other magazines.
this ensures integrity of content and addresses the FoMo in other group members
On the top of it, before finalizing the notes, kindly spend 5-10 minutes to format it in a readable manner. It helps in enriching the notes.
after finishing your notes, send the 'open for all' version of google drive link on DM.
so that other contributers can access your notes.
since the overall spreadsheet link is protectedly DM'md to members, there is no chance of spillage beyond the contributors.
also, individual mail id's are not needed. I will share the spreadsheet link and it gets opened in your system. No need of any mail id's
Mitron....
