Daily UPSC Current Affairs

Dear Friends,

We have initiated some changes in the 9 PM Brief and other postings related to current affairs. What we sought to do:

      1. Ensure that all relevant facts, data, and arguments from today’s newspaper are readily available to you.
      2. We have widened the sources to provide you with content that is more than enough and adds value not just for GS but also for essay writing. Hence, the 9 PM brief now covers the following newspapers:
        1. The Hindu  
        2. Indian Express  
        3. Livemint  
        4. Business Standard  
        5. Times of India 
        6. Down To Earth
        7. PIB
    1. We have also introduced the relevance part to every article. This ensures that you know why a particular article is important.
  1. Since these changes are new, so initially the number of articles might increase, but they’ll go down over time.
  2. It is our endeavor to provide you with the best content and your feedback is essential for the same. We will be anticipating your feedback and ensure the blog serves as an optimal medium of learning for all the aspirants.
