Discipline > Intelligence. Always.

Smart people start strong.
But only the disciplined finish.

You don’t need to be a genius.
You need to show up when it’s boring,
When it’s lonely,
When no one’s clapping.

Because UPSC doesn’t need brilliance.
It demands consistency.

The Power of Potential

"The syllabus is vast, but so is your potential."

📖 We often hear how “endless” the UPSC syllabus is. Yes, it's tough. Yes, it's demanding. But here's the truth no one tells you—your potential is bigger than any booklist.

Every topic you cover is a quiet act of courage. Every revision is a declaration of your dreams. Don’t let the size of the syllabus overwhelm you. Let it reveal how much you're capable of learning, adapting, and growing.

📌 This exam doesn’t just test what you know.
💡 It tests how consistently you show up.
💪 It tests your patience, your mindset, and your will.

So the next time you look at your to-do list and feel intimidated—remind yourself: your potential is as deep and limitless as your dream.

➡️ Keep turning the pages. The result is not just a rank—it's the person you become along the way.

You’ve got this.

📌 Stalin Revives Call for State Autonomy | Rajamannar Committee Revisited

🗓️ What’s New?
TN CM M.K. Stalin forms a high-level panel (headed by Justice Kurian Joseph) to re-examine Centre-State relations — echoing a similar move 50 years ago!

🕰️ Flashback to 1969
Then CM C.N. Annadurai set up the Rajamannar Committee to study the Constitution & suggest ways to ensure maximum autonomy for states.

📚 Key Highlights of Rajamannar Report
🔹 Constitution appears federal, but Centre's dominance is growing
🔹 Articles 256, 257, 365 → tools for Central control
🔹 Called for repeal of Article 356 (President’s Rule)
🔹 Suggested a strong Inter-State Council under Article 263
🔹 Slammed the Planning Commission for making states "suppliants"
🔹 Asserted: "Strong Centre doesn’t mean Centre doing everything"

Why It Matters Today
Relevance amid TN’s disputes with Centre on NEET, GST, Delimitation
Reinforces Dravidian demand for federalism
Rajamannar, Sarkaria (1988), Punchhi (2010) — all echo state autonomy
But none acted upon fully till date!

“True strength of the Union lies in restraint, not in overreach.” – Rajamannar Committee
