Tips for your answer

✅ 1. Highest-scoring point: The gendered economic cost angle — most candidates write about heat deaths; showing how school closures erode female workforce participation is a rare, high-reward insight.
✅ 2. Facts to reuse: Ahmedabad Heat Action Plan (2013, India's first), NAPCC urban mission, female LFPR (~25–30%), NEP 2020 — all crossover into environment, society, and governance questions.
✅ 3. Avoid: Treating this as a pure environment answer. The question signals "cascading social and economic consequences" — marks are lost if the gender and governance dimensions are thin or missing.
