Way Forward for GS Papers?

Well Brief Analysis of GS 1 2 and 3 Shows that mere blind folded Approach of Main 365 is not Helping. Atleast this is what i am Thinking. Well there are Arguments like " Maine toh bas Mains 365 Padh ki nikal Li" . I cant Negate that neither i cant Accept that as it is not working for me. Well Suggestion like Test Series Join Karlo and Hindu ke notes bana lo are something i received. But i think mere skimming of Hindu and Indian Express editorials are too tedious. Well i Even Tried that but faltered because question are more analytical in Nature.Now for examples let us take this question "Micro-Finance as an anti-poverty vaccine, is aimed at asset creation and income security of the rural poor in India”. Evaluate the role of Self-Help Groups in achieving the twin objectives along with empowering women in rural India. (Answer in 250 words)" 
Ab isme na Hindu ke notes yaad hai Na hi Vision me kuch Content Hai!

Suggestion are Welcome

Other such Question are

Hey, I think the syllabus really is the key! The approach everyone suggests of ensuring material on every keyword of the syllabus really helps. For example, microfinance is something we'll definitely come across under the "Development Processes and the Development Industry — the Role of NGOs, SHGs, various groups and associations, donors, charities, institutional and other stakeholders" topic of GS2. Similarly Indian diaspora is also directly mentioned in the syllabus. While preparing if you just take a subtopic and make notes on it following some blueprint (for example "who-what-when-where-how-why" or "meaning-causes-impact-examples-scope") you would be comfortable answering it in the exam after good revision. I think it would likely work if you use any source, with this approach of framing the topic as an answer in your notes while preparing itself. I had done it for syllabus topics +  Mains 365. Editorials just for understanding, did not make notes.
