Today's Topic – Urbanization and India’s Transit Woes

PDF Download Link – go.forumias.com/cutthecrap165

This edition of Cut the Crap discusses the growing urbanization challenges India faces on its path to becoming a developed nation by 2047 (Viksit Bharat). With only 63 out of 458 cities having formal bus services, and merely 1.2 buses per 1,000 people (vs China’s 6), India’s public transit infrastructure is struggling. Despite rising vehicle sales and investments, only 37% of urban residents have easy access to public transport—well below global peers like Brazil and China. A robust and equitable mobility system is key for sustainable urban growth and workforce productivity.

Today’s Topic – Tulare Lake: The Vanished Lake Returns

Tulare Lake, once the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River, has reappeared in California's San Joaquin Valley. After decades of disappearance due to irrigation projects, the lake has made a dramatic return, triggered by a series of intense atmospheric river events and heavy snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada.

This revival is not just an environmental occurrence but also holds deep cultural significance for the Tachi Yokut tribe, reconnecting them with their ancestral lands and traditions.

Today's Topic – Universalizing India's Growth Gains

PDF Download Link – go.forumias.com/cutthecrap164

This edition of Cut the Crap decodes the contradiction in India’s economic progress. While India is now the 4th largest economy globally, the benefits of growth remain unevenly distributed. The Mint article analyzed here points to a serious concern: persistent income and savings inequality across socio-economic classes. The accompanying Statista data reveals how India, despite rapid economic expansion, is struggling with widening wealth disparities—posing critical developmental challenges.

Aspiring bureaucrats must internalize this duality to frame balanced answers for GS-3, especially in areas like inclusive growth, inequality, and development economics.
