Mastering answers writing in Group-I Main #IndiaNEWS #Education

In the previous article in this series, we looked into the fundamentals of how to structure an answer-introduction, introduction, body, and conclusion. This article will help you learn how to write an introduction, which will not only impress the examiner but also give a good start to your answers.
The introduction gives an indication of your flow of thoughts and creates an interest in the mind of the examiner. It can be categorised into fact-based, definition based, current affairs based and so on. We will discuss how to use different introduction categories for different questions.
1) Facts based introduction:
You need to provide information/data here. If possible, add a source to make data look more authentic (optional).
UPSC
To what extent, in your view, is Parliament able to ensure accountability of the executive in India? (UPSC 2021, 10 Marks)
For the above question, the fact-based introduction would be
a) In the 14th Lok Sabha, 60 per cent of the bills were referred to parliamentary committees, compared to 27 per cent in the 16th Lok Sabha.
b) In 2021–2021, more than 60 per cent of the budget was approved without debate.
With any of these two introductions, you can start the answer and show that parliamentary accountability has been reduced.
Example 2:
What are the salient features of the Jal Shakti Abhiyan launched by the Government of India for water conservation and water security? (UPSC 2020).
For the above question, the fact-based introduction would be
a) As per the WaterAid report, more than one billion people reside in water-scarce areas, and 75 per cent of households do not have access to tapped drinking water within premises, and 70 per cent of drinking water is contaminated.
2) Definition based introduction
You must write the exact definition or keywords for the concept asked in the question. It is much useful for questions on international relations, science and technology, new concepts in economy etc.
Example:
What exactly is cryptocurrency? How does it affect global society? Has it been affecting Indian society also? (Main 2021)
For the above question, a definition-based introduction would be
Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that allows transacting parties to remain anonymous. It is a digital payment system that doesn’t rely on banks to verify transactions.
3) Introduction based on current events
Here the data is from current events, which we can get from newspapers and authentic news channels. The main advantage of this kind of introduction is that the examiner will understand that you are aware of what is going on around you.
Example 1:
Mention the global occurrence of volcanic eruptions in 2021 and their impact on the regional environment.
