An understanding of the geographical context is essential for grasping issues like climate change, resource distribution, and sustainable practices. The syllabus often includes questions about India’s physiography, resources, and environmental challenges. Additionally, knowledge of global geographical phenomena aids aspirants in contextualizing international policies and agreements. Therefore, a solid grasp of these factors is crucial for holistic exam preparation.
