Environment Red book [PT Things ] for Prelims 2021
Hello All,
So have been working on this project for Environment book with some forum members for coming up with a good book on Env given the current ones are a little over-kill and most of it is outdated.
This compilation should be the new kid in the market that should ease some of your pain for Env preparation.
Download the pretty PDF + Really good stuff on ENV from below link :)

@Neyawn Sir, should we expect more in the series?
Economy is next.
when to expect sir? try bringing it in april ...wont read any other source then.
@Neyawn - Sirji, Senior citizens (read 'Purane Aspirants') kya ise padh skte hain for prelims 2021 ? Overkill to nahi hoga?
Nope.
In trying to cover everything it became a bit bulky. Still beats the existing books .
Plus coverage is good. Got it reviewed by senior citizens of your batch and before.
Asked them will you recommend it to a sibling ( or read yourself )
One particular kid took 15 days , then read it line by line and said - Yes , it’s got everything.
It has been very minutely reviewed. By some of the best people.
@Neyawn - need to start reading it then. Anyways my SFGs ranking are a bit disappointing.
Three rules
1) Try to maintain a certain percentage of marks , given that in online, some unfair means may be used. so ranks may not be the best way. I would recommend between 60-70% of score should be maintained
2) If in some some paper you get very less marks like 30-40 , make sure you note down topics from which questions are asked. The. Prepare those topics and write the same paper after 2 weeks, keep doing until you score 80% in the paper. Helps “conquer” some weak subjects.
3) Questions for basic concepts can’t be wrong . Create a ruckus ( in your life ) over basic questions getting wrong . You should promise that you will revise not only that topic , but freaking whole chapter from which that question was asked. And never ever in future would you get a question from there.

Hello@Neyawn sir. I am preparing for UPSC 2022.
Can we use this book of Environment as a standard book for Prelims and Mains as well?
This is an appreciation post . I spent around 5 days completing Shankar IAS Environment book . Initially made notes of around 136 pages . Skimmed the final count to 94 with multiple iterations .
And now i just found about this Red Book and I got to say this , I could have saved a lot of time .Red Book is well structured and concise . Kudos to Forum for this. Waiting for this kind of material for other GS sections too .

I feel this book is good for veterans as it provides width assuming readers have the depth.
In my humble opinion, 1st attempters should go for Shankar and read this one as a supplement to update themselves with the latest developments.
A decent booklet nonetheless. :)
Thanks ! This is what I was going to do as well. The updates to be read from here and shankar should be the base.

Have gone through Shankar for past three years. This year it’s Red Book aka Lal Kitaab :)
No need for first timers to go for the treatise of Shankar ! Unnecessary outdated things given.
thanks forum guys !!
