• Most Challenging Aspect (Example) The most challenging part of the problem is the mindset of people. They should have similar feeling towards their surrounding locality as they have regarding their own house with respect to cleanliness. Municipal Authorities are not performing their work properly.

General TIPs • Think, research, work on your idea/ abstract. • Do not make it a hasty last minute job, it shows • DO NOT copy paste from internet. If you are planning to use a paper etc refer it. • Early Field work might be productive to give ideas for some problems. Mention it

if you do with pictures. • Highest Weightage to understanding of problem and depth of approach, but

other responses matter.
