π ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING (3D PRINTING)
π’ Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a technology that creates 3D objects layer-by-layer from a digital 3D/CAD model.
π’ It is commonly known as 3D printing and brings together computing, electronics, design software and materials science.
π How Additive Manufacturing Works
π’ Digital Design: A model is created using CAD, 3D scanning or AI-based tools.
π’ STL File: Represents the 3D model through triangular surfaces and guides the printing process.
π’ Slicing: Software divides the model into hundreds or thousands of horizontal layers.
π’ Printing: The machine builds the object layer-by-layer by adding successive layers of material.
π’ Post-processing: The printed object is further processed to make it market-ready.
π’ There are currently 40+ AM processes at market and R&D stages.
π Applications
π’ Aerospace & Defence
π’ Healthcare
π’ Electronics
π’ Construction
π’ Enables greater design flexibility and layer-wise manufacturing.
π National Strategy for Additive Manufacturing (NSAM)
π’ Released by MeitY in 2022 as Indiaβs policy framework for developing domestic AM capabilities.
π’ Aim: Capture 5% of the global AM market and contribute nearly US$1 billion to Indiaβs GDP.
π Key NSAM Targets
π’ Develop 50 India-specific AM technologies
π’ Nurture 100 start-ups
π’ Create 500 new products
π’ Train 1 lakh skilled workers
π’ Build capabilities across 10 manufacturing sectors
π NSAM 2.0
π’ The proposed NSAM 2.0 seeks to accelerate Indiaβs AM ecosystem.
π’ Focus on IPR generation, digital integration and commercialisation of globally competitive technologies.
π’ Improve affordability of AM machines and materials through clusters.
π’ Expand the AM start-up ecosystem and support defence applications.
π’ Promote SDG-driven pilot programmes.

π WOMEN IN MODERN INDIA
π BACKGROUND: THE WOMENβS QUESTION
π’ In the 19th century, Western observers such as James Mill used the βwomenβs questionβ to construct a civilizational critique of India.
π’ By the 19th century, the ideal of purdah had become widespread among Hindu and Muslim women, across elite and non-elite groups, although its practical implications varied across communities.
π PROMINENT WOMEN REFORMERS & EDUCATIONISTS
π 1. Tarabai Shinde
π’ A Marathi woman from Berar who published A Comparison Between Women and Men in 1882.
π’ Her work challenged gender inequalities and discriminatory social attitudes towards women.
π 2. Pandita Ramabai
π’ First woman in India to receive the titles Pandita and Sarasvati after examination by the faculty of the University of Calcutta.
π’ Founded the Arya Mahila Samaj, which worked for girlsβ education and against child marriage.
π’ Authored Stri Dharma Niti (Morals for Women).
π’ Testified before the Hunter Commission on Education in India.
π’ Established Sharda Sadan in Bombay, a home-cum-school for widows.
π 3. Sister Subbalakshmi
π’ Recognised for her service to women and girls in the Madras Presidency.
π’ Awarded the Kaiser-i-Hind Gold Medal in 1920 and the Padma Shri in 1960.
π 4. Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain
π’ A Bengali feminist thinker, writer, educator and political activist, widely regarded as a pioneer of womenβs liberation in South Asia.
π’ Founded the Muslim Womenβs Association in 1916 to promote womenβs education and employment.
π WOMEN, WORK & ECONOMIC CHANGE
π 1. Changing Social Expectations
π’ From the late 19th century, increasingly socially mobile peasant families began confining women to household work.
π’ Women were increasingly idealised as wives and mothers, and household responsibilities were treated as sacred duties rather than economically valuable work.
π 2. Mechanisation & Loss of Livelihoods
π’ During the early 20th century, mechanisation led many women engaged in traditional crafts to lose their occupations.
π’ Women received lower wages than men and were often treated as members of family units rather than independent economic contributors.
π KEY THEMES FOR UPSC
π’ Social reform: Efforts to challenge child marriage, gender discrimination and restrictions on women.
π’ Womenβs education: Reformers promoted access to education and opportunities for social participation.
π’ Economic inequality: Women faced occupational displacement, wage discrimination and undervaluation of domestic work.
π’ Patriarchal norms: Social expectations shaped womenβs mobility, employment and family responsibilities.
