Interview Call CSE-2012

Hello Friends,

Many congratulations to those among us who have cleared the Mains and received an interview call. I count myself among these lucky folks this time.

And commiserations to those of us who were unable to go to the next stage of the exam. But keep your spirits high and soldier on.

I have the interview this coming week, so am trying to make the best of my time. I wish you all, all the best once again. I hope the blog is helping you in some way for the interview prep as well. And will reply to some of your queries about new pattern soon.

Till then adios amigos :)

Counter-magnets

Counter-magnet towns are identified as those that can be developed as alternative centres of growth and attract migrants to them rather than Delhi. Promoting growth of counter magnet towns are the principal components of the strategy to reduce both migration and population explosion in the Delhi metropolitan area.

These towns are located in six states- Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab, in addition to Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan, which are already part of the national capital region.

The criterion for selecting counter magnet towns are that they should not be within approximately. 250 km. from Delhi, should have their own established roots and potential of growth and should not be centres of either religious, strategic or environmental importance.

These are:-
