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.

I personally like the 2 column approach, easy to skim through the content while revising.
Feedback regarding the short version – Please consider the 2 column layout for this as well, all the big images/maps could go in the appendix.

Hello Visha, thank you for your feedback. I will definitely work on incorporating the changes that you mentioned. But it will take time.

If I am ever damn sure about some things in life, they are PMF’s notes on Geography, Environment, Agriculture and S&T, and their comprehensive coverage. The diagrams and the bullet points coupled with fluid explanations are godsend boons.
This said, may God bless PMF for his sincere efforts, research, prompt replies, charity and benevolence.
Thank you.

Soham (verified owner) –
Love the notes, extreme clarity is present and it helps me grasp topics really well. I just had a doubt about whether one should first read the PMF-IAS notes or NCERTs (11-12)- I know that it can depend from person to person, but an opinion wouldn’t be bad!

PMF IAS –
Hello Soham, thank you for your review.
NCERTs are already covered in my notes. So I would recommend you to first complete my notes and then just skim through the NCERTs (mostly not required).
For better productivity complete my notes and then take a good test series.
Good luck 🙂

Harshvardhan Sinha (verified owner) –
First for all thanks. Because of your notes, I don’t need to worry about what book to read, how much to read regarding geography. Just a few suggestions: 1. If possible can you add other relevant items related to the topic being discussed. eg. in minerals pdf(EG1), you can add about MMDR act, about nuclear reactors in atomic minerals section, or about important government initiatives in agriculture sector in the crops pdf. 2. On net you will find some pics explaining a concept beautifully. eg. Prayags of Ganga, which are missing in your notes. Apart from that I think these are the best notes to study geography for upsc. Thanks

Primary Sources for Geography: NCERT, Spectrum Geography, GC Leong, Kullar Indian Geography, Britannica Encyclopedia, Government Websites, and many other standard web resources. The speciality of the notes is that even the most complex topics are explained in the simplest way possible. Primary Sources for Environment: NCERT, NIOS Environment, and standard web resources like Britannica Encyclopedia. Primary Sources for Major Crops: NCERT, Kullar India Geography and standard web resources like Britannica Encyclopedia. For S&T, Geo, Envi and Crop current affairs, I am covering The Hindu, Indian Express Explained and Down to Earth. Hope this helps! Good luck 🙂

Awesome is an understatement for the efforts that have been put into making these materials. Notes are very crisp and to the point and yet they manage to give a broader picture of the topic. Just go for these notes if you don’t want to read multiple sources.

Is your notes are sufficient or there is a need to read ncerts and gc Leong ??
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Admin PMF IAS –
Hello Shefali, NCERTs are already covered in PMFIAS notes. So there is no need to go through them separately. The same is the case with GC Leong.
I suggest you stick with PMFIAS notes alone and revise it multiple times. After completing PMFIAS notes take any good test series that should be more than enough.
Good luck with your efforts 🙂
