Pavneet Singh is the mind behind UPSC Lal Kitab, founder of TMENTORS UPSC, and the educator through his impactful Pavneet Singh UPSC YouTube channel, where he distils deep insights into practical, result-driven frameworks for aspirants. Drawing from years of teaching and mentorship, he transforms complex theory into clear, actionable steps that have helped thousands redefine their approach and unleash their true potential in civil services examination.
This book burns the rulebook. Lal Kitab is not another “how to crack UPSC” manual written in recycled coaching clichés. It is a war cry against everything the UPSC ecosystem does to confuse, distract, and paralyze you. It tears through the myth that more hours mean more success. It laughs at the idea that toppers are born superhuman. It dismantles the industrial maze of telegram PDFs, one-size-fits-all timetables, and fear-based content marketing that thrives on your anxiety. This is the book that teaches you how to build your own compass. It doesn’t just tell you what to study—it shows you how to know what not to study. You’ll learn how to design your own timeline whether you’re a college student, working aspirant, or full-time candidate. You’ll walk away with a sharp, curated booklist that trims the fat and targets the exam. No more studying what’s available—you’ll study what’s essential. Here, you won’t be told to “just revise more.” You’ll be shown why you can’t revise—and how your own brain sabotages you. You’ll learn how to build a daily system that resists resistance, rewires impulse, and protects your energy from dopamine traps disguised as productivity. This book isn’t about romanticizing hard work. It’s about replacing chaos with cold-blooded clarity. No borrowed quotes. No hollow motivation. Just brutal honesty and battle-tested frameworks. If you’ve ever felt this exam is swallowing your identity, Lal Kitab hands it back—with armour.

Secret History of Selection of Supreme Court Judges
About the book:
The central argument of this book is that despite all established formal constitutional requirements, there are multiple unwritten criteria that are used for appointing judges to the Supreme Court. The book examines the debates surrounding the Indian judicial system and anecdotal evidences and deeply analyses the Indian political developments that resulted in the present 'collegium system' of appointing judges to the Supreme Court of India and brings to the fore the secret and unwritten criteria that have determined the selection of judges to the highest court of law in this country. The National Judicial Appointments Commission's (NJAC) judgment on the appointment of judges to the Supreme Court has been the subject of a deeply polarized debate in the public sphere and academia. This book subsequently analyses the NJAC judgment and provides a rich context to it, in terms of philosophical, comparative, and constitutional issues that underpin it. The book examines the secret constitutional principles behind selecting judges and their application in the NJAC judgment; and comparatively looks at the judicial appointments process in the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Pakistan, enquiring into what makes a good judge and an effective appointments process. The book is a deep dive into the constitutional concepts of judicial independence and separation of powers as discussed in the NJAC judgment.About The Author:

Disaster Management for Civil Services Examinations I UPSC Civil Services I IAS preparation
About the book:
The public policy approach to disaster management studies the responses that the state evolves when managing disasters. These state responses are important because they have implications on the development strategy that the state would adopt after the disasters have occurred and also how communities would mould their responses in future such occurrences. The book analyses the comprehensive and dedicated public policy-based disaster responses in India and how these strategies have enabled communities and governments to evolve resilient disaster management practices. The public policy perspective traces its origin from geography, uses geographical inputs, and then analyses the geospatial profile of India to examine the vulnerabilities. The book then places the distinct public policy responses to each disaster and articulates the governmental perspective on disaster management through a thorough and deep contextual analysis of the policy frameworks involved. The number of questions on Disaster Management are increasing every year in the UPSC Civil Services Main Examination even when the subject continues to receive step brotherly treatment. The problem is compounded when the subject is seen as a veritable arm of 'Geography', even when the UPSC has placed the subject under GS Mains Paper -lll. This book provides a through treatment to the subject by re-visiting the intellectual discourse through the prism of public policy and provides the readers with theoretical underlings, ideas and interdisciplinary perspectives to tackle the UPSC Main Exam questions.- Comprehensive coverage of Disaster Management
- Public Policy approach

Book Features:
- Disaster Management is an interdisciplinary field drawing on inputs from various disciplines, including pure sciences and management.

- However, it's essential to recognize disaster management's deeper connection with management principles and public policy.
- The public policy approach to disaster management examines the responses formulated by the state in managing disasters, which shape future development strategies and community responses.
- Overall, the book offers a comprehensive exploration of disaster management from a public policy perspective, illuminating the strategies and frameworks shaping responses to disasters in India.
