Mains Answer Writing - 1 Nov, 2025

Tips for your answer

• Start with context: Begin by briefly describing Cyclone Montha and the recurring nature of cyclones in India’s east coast — setting the stage for why disaster preparedness is crucial.
• Use structure and examples: In the body, divide your answer into parts — preparedness (early warning, evacuation, shelters), response (NDRF, SDRF, coordination), and recovery (relief, compensation). Use Montha or past examples like Cyclone Fani or Hudhud for illustration.
• End with future focus: Conclude with suggestions — strengthening coastal infrastructure, improving inter-state coordination, community participation, and using technology for real-time alerts.
