Description
Topics of Geography and Environment have a lot of convergence. I highly recommend you buy both the Notes as the topics covered in one notes are not included in the other. As 95% of the users buy both, it is not logical for me to add the same content in both the notes as it would increase the number of pages and the printing cost.
This is how the downloads page looks like as of 20-01-2021

Thank you for your review Surendra.
Most of the content in the notes revolves around static topics which don’t change with time. I will definitely make efforts to update the dynamic part well before prelims 2018.

Amazing Environment notes by Pmfias.com. Must have for all.
Do check out his Geography notes and other material as well. Mind Blowing Geo notes sirji. I owe my knowledge of Indian monsoon’s working from your notes only. Much much better than other coachings’ materials.
He also provides instant customer service for any issue.. takes critical feedback very well.. and sometimes has given me notes for free even when money did not reach him due to technical issues. Hats off sir.

I am Arpit Gupta from Patiala, Punjab. I have scored AIR-300 this year in CSE 2018 exam with geography optional.
I have been watching PMF IAS videos and following the printed notes since 2016.
I would like to say a big THANK YOU to you for providing online videos as well as the material for geography as well as environment notes for general studies.
The videos and the environment notes helped me understand some complex topics and since it was available as a soft copy, it helped on easy revision as I could read it on my tablet while on the move.
The dirt cheap rate of material surprised me when I first visited your site in 2015. I was sceptical of it and thought that it will be of no good.
But, since it was so cheap I thought to give it a try. I am glad that I did. The material is exhaustive and I fell in love with the maps and illustrations. Also, the previous years’ questions have been discussed in detail which help you understand the nature of environment questions being asked.
For environment, I did not rely on any outside source and followed your notes only and I dare say that it was more than sufficient and perhaps exceeds what UPSC may ask.
Much Thanks and gratitude to you for your selfless work. You truly are Poor Man’s Friend.

Hi PMF ! I want to ask for Environment Notes which I have purchased last night from your website
Query
1) Does it cover all the sub sub topics related to Pre & Mains . (As in Mains its almost current based – But I think it will help to understand Hindu)
2) Is there need to read Shankar IAS post working on your notes? (Cost to Benefit ?)
3) How to approach notes from Pre & Mains perspective
Thankyou for your Kindness 🙂

PMF IAS (verified owner) –
Thanks for the review Shiv.
“Does it cover all the sub topics related to Pre & Mains”
– Almost, but environment is a diverse and dynamic topic. My notes gives you basics an the rest have be done from Current affairs.
– Most of the questions in Prelims and Mains are asked from current affairs. But without basics grasping current affairs is hard. This is very my notes comes handy.
“Is there need to read Shankar IAS post working on your notes? (Cost to Benefit ?)”
– I don’t think so. Going for multiple sources is an overkill.
“How to approach notes from Pre & Mains perspective”
– As I mentioned for Geography use the DOC file to make a short notes for quick revisions (a seperate notes for Prelims and Mains).
– Be regular with current affairs. Add current affiars under related topics in my notes. Linking Current affairs with static part is very important.
– UPSC is asking some really strange questions on flora and fauna (it’s really hard to remember names of so many plants, animals, enedangered species, biodiversity hotspots, etc.). You need to proritize news related to critical flora and fauna and make a list for quick revision (for prelims).
There are no definite rules. UPSC is very dynamic. You need to give importance to both static and dynamic.
Good luck 🙂

I read the notes thoroughly and I can definitely say that they are worth the time and money. In fact, these notes are much better than reading 400 pages of Shankar IAS book for environment.

It’s the best notes in the market for Enviornment section. But just upgrade your notes on time by analysing and focussing on PYQ and just deliver it on time. It’s the only thing that is stopping you from achieving your 5 star products. and if possible in future start providing video lectures too it would revolutionize your market standing for sure.

Thanks for the encouraging words.
I suggest you complete the current notes and later revise from the new notes. In 2019 I will be providing a short revision of the notes as well. Reading the new notes may not consume much of your time as by then you will have a good command on the subject.
Good luck 🙂
