Book/Magazine Title(tentative):Diplomat(Monthly Magazine) The Market


The book/magazine is intended for around >0.3 million(excluding MBA candidates and PO/Clerk candidates) people across India which attempts Civil Service Examination. This exam is entrusted to UPSC(Union Public Service Commission) for recruitment of Bureaucrats of India of future. It will target issue in current affairs and most relevant Indo-centric background General Knowledge from science to social science. The book mainly include those areas poorly given in referred books like NCERT etc as the latters are primarily written for school children they maybe start up but not the end.You can expect a huge number of advertisement from booksellers to coaching institutes.(Main revenue earning).Also photocopying is not expected as price will be kept competitive. There is also chance to earn more as unlike new edition every time magazine is monthly based .And end of year we may combine it is book form too. So ,in short risk is minimal. Level of Magazine Level is directed above graduate student as you must be graduate for appearing in Civil Service Examination. Intended readers are both majors and non-majors as age group of 21-35 takes this exam annually. Trends in Market With view in mind Indias growing potential and more and more people getting educated.The number of readers should increase with time before coming to saturation when whole country take a leap into its next development stage. Market other than domestic market I intend to publish Indo-centric news so it is likely as magazine will gain market it can be view by outsiders think tank as view represented in Indian intellectual circle. Magazine is both primary source and supplement. The Competition Major competition will come from Pratiyogita Darpan ,Civil Service Chronicle and Civil Service Times.(All monthly Magazines).They are already established name however , each with some flaw either in content delivery or accuracy.The major problem emanate from their copy and paste attitude(barring Civil Service Times which is written with utmost care) and not doing their

homework.My magazine although delivered to same study group it will be precise and will be written by keeping in mind what is relevant.The question answer format ,the backgrounder and upto date information will be distinguishing feature.The book can be read by any other group also who is interested in increasing his/her knowledge. Strength Precise and accurate information. Background information included. Simple language . Vulnerabilities I intend to book to keep between 100 -120 pages.So amount of information maybe compromised as compare to those who give information in 200 pages. Marketing of book is very important.It should be visible because good work can be appreciated if it is available at arms length for buying. It should be published in Hindi too which Im or any other member in my team is not capable of doing. There is no such compelling point where we should not compete. Q: Imagine that you are addressing the XYZ Publication sales staff for the first time after your project is published. What is the most important message you want them to deliver to instructors?

Often we have quotes from famous personalities like Buddha ,Gandhi , Bertand Russell or Ronald Reagan above or below the page which can be utilize in writing essay .Thus , providing competitive edge. Contents 1.From the pen of Editor-This will include in depth analysis on Indo-centric issue like for this month it could be NSG waiver of Indian clean Image for ENR transfer. 2.Current Affairs-a)Indian foreign relation with background that happened in month. b)Domestic legislation-Like several yojana from governments. c)Death/Awards/Appointments/Records-This will include snippets on recent month awards and all. 3.Know more section_This will include section like what is cryosurgery?What is hybrid engine?What is cloud computing?What is Bio-engineering?All in short and relevant information.This is frequent words appearing in newspapers or elsewhere but unknown to to many. 4.Quick Facts-This section is basically different from current affairs but relevant because it is section which will remain so for years to come.Example what is Blue Nile ?How many coral reefs India have?etc. 5.General English and Maths_This section is kept in view of weak English of many people preparing for Civil Services and also in view of new started pattern of CSAT(Civil Service Aptitude test).It may include on model question paper whose solution will appear in next month. 6.Policy issue or Regulation_This section include the acts and policy related matters should be taken and the views of Indian intellectual circle.This will form of essays writing. The Pedagogy Since Im delivering maximum accurate information in right amount in correct student centric format this is what is unique in this project.Also magazine will be based on extensive research and references in case of question arises of authenticity it will serve as ready to use information.In short for student we can sayYou do half study and half we will do to make you succeed.

What are the most innovative / impressive uses of these technologies youve seen in the competition?

Since it is current affair magazine.It should be published in 30-31 days.And will require atleast 25 days to complete first draft upto which I will include all information. Q: When do you anticipate delivering complete, final, production-ready manuscript for the main text? After any error or recommendation I expect final manuscript/Word format to be send every 26 days.It means to remove errors and include recommendation I need 2 days after completion of first draft.
