It seems a good and smooth outline to me, although am struggling myself with the Essays.
What I learned from my mistakes is that introduction plays a major part in shaping initial impression on the examiner. So what should be an introducorty part of the Essay and how it must be attempted still requires a brief and expert appraisal.

thanx for ur kind words here and in last post as well...............surely brother introduction plays a vital role .........my problem is that my essay(after outline) commences with an intro of disasters leading to disaster management.......i only skipped the heading introduction in outline, that was my question which failed to attract any attention

First paragraph is always considered an introduction so its not a big problem as such.

In fact in a proper essay, you are not supposed to give headings, unlike in Metric, FSc or BA examinations. Similarly in CSS, a proper english essay is expected of you and headings are not supposed to be given to distinguish each part. The writing should be such that it should it self demarcate the boundaries between introduction, body and conclusion.

@gameawan.
Bro if u reproduce the actual introduction then v can comment on your essay because only then ll v b able to see how you proceeded. However, under the given situation I can only say that if ur intro is systematic, u would not be penalized. But the examiner may consider deducting mark(s) out of 10 marks reserved for outlines for not inserting the line “Introduction”.

If actual text of ur essay reflects ur outlines then there is nothing to worry about.

Regards.
