Candidates should approach the evaluation of government policies by adopting a critical lens. First, it is essential to understand the context and objectives behind each policy. Evaluation should consider the policy's effectiveness, looking into its implementation, beneficiaries, and any challenges faced. Analyzing data and case studies can provide a comprehensive view of the policy's impact. Comparing policies with similar frameworks or those from other countries can also yield useful insights. Furthermore, candidates should assess the policy's alignment with constitutional values and its adherence to sustainable development goals. This multi-faceted approach enriches understanding and reflects analytical skills valuable in UPSC exams.
