Three is greater than two, and the payoff of a 50 percent 2-point shooter is equivalent to a 33 percent 3-point shooter"Source: Haberstroh: The reinvention of Chris Bosh

The legitimacy for starting consultations on dividing the state of UP already exists. Here is the economic rationale.The BJP’s Election Manifesto for the Lok Sabha polls of 2014, in a section under “Strengthen the Framework”, emphasizes the party’s recognition of regional aspirations and builds a case for greater decentralization through smaller states. The “smaller states for better administration” argument is not new and has been in several of the BJP’s earlier manifestos and it needs no repeating about the role of NDA-I in creating the states of Jharkhand, Uttarakhand and Chhatssigarh.With Uttar Pradesh going to polls in 2017, the question in many people’s minds is if the BJP would push for the division of a state as a poll promise, go to the polls with multiple CM candidates and divide the state into smaller states if elected to power. While it is the Centre’s sole prerogative to decide the contours of division or alteration of state boundaries, the state assemblies provide an impetus for the Centre to start the process of consultation for any such division.In the Winter Session of the UP Assembly in 2011, Chief Minister Ms. Mayawati passed a resolution for the division of UP into four smaller states: Purvanchal, Bundelkhand, Awadh Pradesh and Paschim Pradesh (also referred to as Harit Pradesh). In a way, the legitimacy for starting consultations on dividing the state of UP thus already exists. Leaving the politics aside, the splitting of Uttar Pradesh into multiple states needs to be looked upon from a geographical as well as an economic angle to analyse cultural cohesiveness and economic viability.Cultures and Regions in Uttar PradeshThe 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh can be culturally divided into 8 regions. These regions are the 25 districts in Upper Doab, Middle Doab and Rohilkhand that constitute Western Uttar Pradesh, the 25 districts of Awadh and Lower Doab that form a part of Central Uttar Pradesh, the 18 districts of Purvanchal that makes up Eastern Uttar Pradesh and the 7 districts of the difficult terrains of Bundelkhand and Baghelkhand that would be a part of Southern Uttar Pradesh.Figure: Uttar Pradesh Map split into 8 regionsThe idea of splitting UP into smaller administrative units is not a Mayawati original. In 1955, Ambedkar in his book “Thoughts On Linguistic States”, proposed the idea of UP being split into three states with the Western Region having Meerut as its capital, the Eastern Region having Allahabad at its capital and the Central region with Kanpur as its Capital. Thus, the four states of UP as envisaged by Mayawati in the 2012 Assembly resolution when mapped to the eight cultural regions and Ambedkar’s capitals would have the following number of districts:Table: Districts of the 8 regions in UP mapped to the 4 new statesSuch an arrangement would mean that Allahabad District of Lower Doab region would be a part of Purvanchal. The region of Bundelkhand would contain the six districts of Bundelkhand and the district of Chitrakoot of the Baghelkhand region.These districts share a lot of common traits with the Northern districts of Madhya Pradesh and it is important that the Centre considers altering the boundaries of Madhya Pradhesh in tandem while providing for a larger Bundelkhand state.However, the rest of the states of Awadh, Pashchimanchal and Purvanchal could be geographically split as significant cultural cohesiveness exists within these entities.Economic ViabilityThe report by the Committee for Consultations on the Situation in Andhra Pradesh, headed by retired Justice B.N Srikrishna in its report in December 2010 looked at economic viability as an important factor while assessing the division of (the erstwhile undivided) Andhra Pradesh. The Committee used the Per capita District Domestic Product (District Domestic Product Divided by District Population) as an important parameter to examine the Economic Profile of the regions.As latest economic data for districts is not available, the data for 2012-2013 (sourced from UP state’s Directorate of Economics and Statistics) has been used to look at the Economic profile of various districts and the states envisaged. The GDP of the regions has been arrived at after aggregating the District Domestic product of the districts that constitute these regions. The Per Capita GDP can be derived once the Regional GDP is divided by the population of that region and is depicted below for the eight regions of Uttar Pradesh-Chart: Per Capita GDP of the 8 regions of Uttar PradeshWhile Pashchimanchal seems economically viable, Purvanchal and Awadh are the laggards of Uttar Pradesh with Per Capita GDP less than 20,000. However, when Awadh is clubbed with Lower Doab (districts of Kanpur and adjoining areas) it marginally improves with its per Capita GDP hovering a little more than 20,000 as shown in the chart below-Chart: Per Capita GDP of the four new states of Uttar PradeshThe region-wise GDP, population and per capita GDP is listed below:Table: Per Capita GDP of the four new states envisagedWhile the regions of Bundelkhand and Pashchimanchal have per capita GDPs above the State average, Awadh is a little below the current state average while Purvanchal as a region is a clear laggard bringing down the per capita GDP of the state of Uttar Pradesh. This region bordering Bihar would thus need special focus and attention if a separate state were to be formed.Comparing the new UP states with the rest of IndiaCurrently, UP is one of the economically backward states if one were to rank states on a GDP Per capita basis. The top 5 and bottom 5 states of India ranked on a GDP per capita basis using 2012-2013 data would look like this:Table: Indian states Top-5 and bottom-5 ranked as per Capita GDP for year 2012-2013 (Constant Price 2004-2005)A divided UP would rank all the states created from it at the bottom of the pool but would now hold their respective CMs and Governments responsible for taking the big leap forward:Table: Bottom-5 ranked after UP splits as per Capita GDP for year 2012-2013 (Constant Price 2004-2005)Setting up of a State Reorganization CommitteeAdministrative reform through decentralization and creation of smaller states would further help bring in accountability of the political establishment to its citizens. In 1955, Ambedkar on splitting UP into 3 states had said “Each of these three States should have a population of approximately two crores which should be regarded as the standard size of population for a State to administer effectively”.With Technology and better governance tools, this could well be 6 crores in today’s world. The Government should consider setting up a State Reorganization Committee specifically tasked at the division of Uttar Pradesh into smaller states while also considering the alteration of the boundaries of Madhya Pradesh to create a separate Bundelkhand.

It's not about hours, it's all about how much you can push your limits.I have seen guys studying 16 hours a day, mugging up all the nonsense, solving several yaer papers including 1990s. Doing all sort of homeworks, races, solving three-three coachings sheets, but remember one thing Jee checks ones smartness provided he has complete knowledge.If you look at 90s papers, you may think that i am done with it, but it's not that easy. The level of paper in that was different, total students appearing that time were anyhow too less.The scenario has changed since past few years or somewhere around 2012–2013, now jee cannot afford to select students only on the basis of knowledge, it also checks ones ability to recall things, modified calculation techniques, intelligence and speed.So don't waste time by just looking at the clock and saying that you have worked 18 hours a day for it. Start smart studying. Know some latest pattern of jee. Get some speed in it. Solve more and more numbers of expexted topics.Do solve some practice papers. Never ever keep doubts aside. Do mathematics practice daily.Every single child has diffrent mindset, different catching power, different approach to solve questions.I have seen guys just studying 4–5 hours on daily basis and cracking jee advanced. I have also seen some very untalented people struggling 15 hours daily and then cracking iit jee. God has given every single guy different abilities. You just need to find your strengths.You cannot crack jee by poor planning and lacking punctuality. Make proper schedule and get stucked to it for a year. And do not mix all sunjects. Do one at a time.STOP NOT WHEN YOU ARE TIRED, STOP WHEN YOU ARE DONE.
