    2nd Statement is false. The UNCCD has a special program for North Africa and West Asia (not South Asia). The West Asia North Africa (WANA) region is primarily desert and that is why the UNCCD has a special focus on it.

  • I searched a lot. There is nothing in the convention to show that there is special focus for North Africa and South Asia. It was a carefully worded statement to disguise.
  • Regarding the CS, Governor question. Lets get one thing right. What UPSC decides is final. The UPSC has already decided in IES 2006 paper that the answer to this question is (d) Neither 1 nor 2. Yes, this question is a straight forward repeat from IES 2006 General Studies Paper. This is the link:

    Remember the President vs Supreme Court controversy regarding the custodian of constitution last year in prelims?? In that one also there was a question in 2005 or so in one of the UPSC conducted exams in which a few statements were given and the option containing the correct set of statements was to be marked. The correct answer in that did not contain that statement in the question which says "The President is the custodian of the Constitution". Thats it.

    UPSC's views and interpretations matter. They have already been expressed before.
  • If the link is not working go to examrobot.com and navigate to IES 2006 paper Q No 22.


  • Secondly in UNCCD mein, there is special/particular focus on North Africa and South Asia. I strongly feel this shud be right. But I am not able to find exact words in Google. Can somebody help here

    They don't have special focus on North America and South Asia. They have identified certain zones and areas which are rapidly undergoing desertification, and those are spread around Europe, Americas and Africa and Asia. True, Sahel in Africa is one of the largest, and possibly more could be in South Asia, but there is no dedicated focus

  • My cut off practically depends on few questions - Millets, TEEB, Sustainable Development Goals (apparently Club of Rome didn't spell out the goals), and Capital accounts wala. I'm swinging between 106 and 114. Hope it works out
