Specific initiatives to increase geographical literacy among UPSC candidates include incorporating geography workshops, interactive seminars, and field excursions that offer practical experience. Including cartographic skills in the curriculum can significantly enhance spatial understanding. Furthermore, utilizing technology like GIS (Geographic Information Systems) can provide innovative ways to analyze geographical data. Encouraging candidates to engage with diverse resources, such as documentaries and relevant literature, can deepen insights into global and local geographic issues. Regular assessments can also help track progress in geographical comprehension.
