Policy debates are instrumental in enhancing a candidate's understanding of administrative perspectives during UPSC preparation. Engaging in debates encourages critical thinking and articulates various viewpoints on societal issues. This process helps candidates understand policy implications and the administrative challenges inherent in governance. It also promotes an awareness of the socio-economic context affecting decision-making. Through participation in discussions on governance, candidates gain insights into the operational dynamics of public administration, enabling them to connect theoretical concepts with real-world applications in their effective functioning as future civil servants.
