Small note.

Beginners, don't focus on Value Addition Notes at this stage.
They are meant for those who have cleared Prelims 2026 or those who narrowly missed it by a few marks.
As a beginner, your priority should be to complete the Mains syllabus first. Only after that should you start using Value Addition Notes.

I will also be sharing Mains Current Affairs very soon. Again, beginners need not focus on that for now. Finish the syllabus first, then move on to Current Affairs and Value Addition Notes.

If anyone is looking for History optional guidance from a ranker. You may message our office number 93118 40789.
Please don't get confused it is not me, some other ranker.

Whatever materials, books, PDFs, and mentorship programs I have shared and launched have been possible only because of the incredible team behind me.

From the Content Team, Graphic Design Team, DTP Team, Office Assistants, Book Publishing Team, Marketing Team, and many others—each one has played a vital role in this journey.

I would like to sincerely thank Sony, Anamika, Altaf, Pavani, Sai Chandra, Phani, Pavan, Sudheer, Vasudeva, Ashok, Ravi, Sai Kiran, and many other freelancers who have contributed to building QualifyIAS and continue to support its growth through their dedication and hard work.

Whenever I assign work to them, they patiently listen, understand the requirements, and complete it with professionalism and commitment. The quality of work we have produced is no less than that of any well-established institution.

I will continue to work even harder to make QualifyIAS a more reliable and trusted institution for UPSC aspirants.

Finally, none of this would have been possible without our Telegram channel and the constant support, trust, and encouragement of our students and followers.

Thank you all.

Tamil Nadu and Kerala roads

Last two years, I have travelled hundreds of kilometres in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala by road, and I feel Tamil Nadu and Kerala roads are well constructed and well maintained. Very rarely I found potholes on highways and state roads.

The lives I have seen.

I have not seen what my great-grandparents did, but I have seen my grandfather selling tea in a small hut. I have seen my grandmother working as a labourer in cotton fields. I have seen my father working as a driver and plumber. I have seen my mother rolling beedis and walking a few kilometres to submit the rolled beedis. I have seen my elder brother working at wine shops.

I have never seen my family members complain about life. They always gave their best in whatever work they did, even though they went through many ups and downs in life.

My thoughts and experiences.

I realized that those who continue to work regardless of failures will find bigger roles to play in life.
