Q.2) Convective instability….. First two lines are contradictory please get the concept clear. Read it and revise ur answer.
Trade winds belt….
5 deg.. to 30 deg.. N and S hemisphere.
upper circulation and lower circulation
why it is called as trade winds.
These are important points.

Polar Front Cell… written wrongly. It is nothing but Ferrel cell.

katabatic winds not originate due to the presence of snow… there are different katabatic winds and these originates differently. example Fohn, mountain breeze etc.

Q.1) Srinagar …. in write up the point related to social not required.
jaipur… write up is good… in exams write any one of the significance (physical, cultural, economic etc.)
Sadiya ….. Don’t write the points related to social issues.
Point Calimere WLS write up is good.
Kolkata…. It is Garden Reach not Garden Rich.

In the write up if any location/place is news for any of the following physical/commercial/economic/ecological/ environmental/cultural, then write it.
Please don’t write if it is in news for social issues etc….

Q.2) You have not written Convective instability and wet adiabatic lapse rate.
The write up of trade wind belt, polar front cell and katabatic wind is good.

Q.5) Need for improving the status of women
1. women are the key agents for achieving the transformational economic, environmental and social changes required for sustainable development.
2. overall economic productivity as many are employed in the agriculture sector.
3. women is the nucleus of a family and it is a necessity to improve their status.
etc..
The third part you have written in general terms. What adds value is examples, data and statistics to your points. Try to incorporate them in the points. for example- Women produce 50 percent of agricultural output in India, and represent nearly 80 percent of the agricultural labor force. etc.
Within this Saturday we will upload all the synopsis refer them.
