In 2013, D.P. Aggarwal, the then UPSC chairman exhorted the students to read more newspapers, including regional language dailies, to get a more balanced approach towards issues and to get more informed.
It is no surprise then, that over the years, UPSC has become increasingly bullish on the dynamic portion of General Studies.
- Your time is precious and more often than not, keeping a tab on various sites becomes difficult. Hence, we sat down to build something that could let you know when a new content has been uploaded so that you can read through the key points anytime you want.
