Candidates can utilize various analytical frameworks to effectively analyze Indian socio-economic issues for UPSC. The SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) can help dissect policies or initiatives related to socio-economic development. Additionally, the PESTLE analysis (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, Environmental) provides a broader understanding of factors influencing socioeconomic dynamics. Furthermore, understanding the five-year plans and performance indicators related to socio-economic goals can aid in contextual analysis. Applying these frameworks enables aspirants to present well-structured arguments and insights in their answers, especially in General Studies papers.
