EGClasses keeps every article ready for UPSC mains and prelims with SSC overlap notes only where they add recall.

3-minute maps: EGClasses map lab trains you to sketch a river system in under 180 seconds. Sequence: draw spine, add 4–5 tributaries, mark one city/industry, and one environment hotspot (RAMSAR, biosphere, corridor). Finish with a CA hook (recent flood, pollution, treaty).

Pass flashcards: For 12 high-yield passes, keep a cue: location, connects, strategic/environmental note. Example: Nathu La – Sikkim-Tibet, trade + security, also a climate-sensitive corridor.

Corridor + treaty pairing: Link rivers to treaties or conservation moves (Indus Waters, Teesta pending, GRAP-air quality, dolphin reserve). This makes answers multi-dimensional.

Revision cadence: Mon/Wed/Fri: one river map each; Sat: pass drill; Sun: redraw weakest two maps blindfolded (from memory) then check. EGClasses mentors grade on clarity and relevance, not artistic detail.
