Siddharth,
Content of the answer is good, however first mention the nature of development cooperation in a bit detail which you have mentioned after challenges; elaborate a bit on concessional finance and line of credit- two major routes. Also, mention a bit about duty-free and quota-free access to the Indian market.
Challenges mentioned and way forward is fine. Intro and conclusion are also okay.
Overall decent answer but presentation can be a bit better, also try to cover all aspects of the question proportionately.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Debajyoti,
Introduction is a bit too long, you can directly start with the data about developmental cooperation.
Also, you have missed on some aspects, try to use point wise format to cover all parts. First, mention the nature of cooperation- flowchart, some examples etc
Then, mention what are the issues in quality project delivery- here you can mention failure of institutions, fly by night operators, delay in projects etc (as mentioned in first part of the question)
Then float the idea of development institution and mention 2-3 advantages giving example of China etc
Finally keep the conclusion concise saying there is an urgent need of such institution in light of evolving geopolitical environment.
Your content is good, but present it in a structured way.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Nandhini,
Nice attempt, intro and nature of cooperation are all covered well. However, mention some challenges in quality project delivery as given in first part of the question. Then, move on to the way forward.
In challenges you can mention about failure of some of the institutions, fly by night operators, delay in projects, issues with line of credit etc
Points that you have mentioned are fine. Conclusion is also good.
Keep writing. 🙂

Nice answer, structure of the answer is quite good. Introduction is fine, in nature of development cooperation also mention about lines of credit, example of Mozambique/Ethiopia can also be given for value addition. Rest of the points are fine.
In challenges, also mention about failure of institutions to develop for this purpose, fly by night operators etc
Way forward and conclusion are fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Arpita,
Write in points for better visibility of the first part of the answer, you can use a flowchart too for depicting different modes of development assistance.
After that, also mention some challenges in quality project delivery- you can talk about failure of some of the institutions that were floated, fly by night operators, delay in projects, ceding space to China etc.
Way forward is nice, make it a bit concise. Conclusion is good.
Keep practicing. 🙂
