Why Samachar Manthan?
5 stage structure of Lecture-Notes-Testing-Review-Mentoring
Our unique five-stage methodology helps ensure maximum retention and rock-solid preparation. Each component has been meticulously crafted which repeated every week creates a virtuous cycle.

UPSC is a generalist exam. It’s important to cover more issues than to cover a few, in more depth. Samachar Manthan ensures a fine balance of comprehensive news coverage and detailed discussion on the most important topics.

You will be getting high-quality, well-designed notes. They are detailed with proper categorization of news into the Mains and Prelims category.
Our focus is on conceptual clarity, simplicity, relevance, and making interlinkages between current affairs and basic/static part of the syllabus.

TS
please provide time lots topicwise.
Please improve the content of weekly current affairs note.
Sir,
Even though the content of weekly current affairs note is comprehensively covered by CD but the articulation part is missing there. In some issues is not understandable what the writer is trying to say. For example- in week 20 current affairs note in IMF and WB topic the criticism of IMF and WB was not up to the mark . it’s like someone has copy pasted the statements from some sources. At least the content should be crisp and very directed.
Thank you sir
Go for Hinglish in English you people are not that able to explain the terms
Make it some in interesting way as 5 to 6 Hrs of just current affair is hepatic.
You ppl strech something too much like in SM 20 of touch potential and something not more important , add star 🌟 upon topic which mention its importance .
Thank you for lecture✍🏻
Please improve the content of samachar man-than notes.it is like copy paste from the opeds, segregating the bullet points. The headings and the contents are not aligned in some paints.
SM+AW Week 21 Lecture (Print-friendly Notes).
The pdf is not opening. Please fix it as soon as possible.
VOICE CLARITY IS NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.
THANKS FOR THE CONTENT.
Hello Sir, I want to say something regarding video lectures on current affairs,
1. Before starting the specific concept or news please do tell aspirant that how the topic is relevant for UPSC and syallabus of like it comes in ppr I, ppr II, like.
2, lectures sound like just your trying yo tell that this news has came and appeared in this, without analysing the concept in detail for ex in video lecture 22 you just told about GM rice it was like cut and paste news you just told about news without explaining about what is GM crops?, how it is grown? , States which allow to grow and related legislation for GM crops? Is it eco friendly and Impact of GM? none of this was covered in your explanation , instead you just said what the news paper had written.
Sir your contents like that copy paste please make this language viable for student which type language is being I did not read till now
Thanks to both of you 4 fantastic session
every video is showing – ” error, playback suspended”. there is no contact number to call in such a case.
Is there no class conducted after week 22nd?
unable to get pdf of this lecture
From where i send my answers for evaluation?
The mind map is vey good concept increase it for most of topics
somewhere the sound quality is not good
Request to not cut out parts of video where there is interaction with students.
It’s not the Earth hour it’s the global overshoot day sir…
It’s not the Earth hour it’s the global overshoot day
Sir along with rhino , pangolin example is more suitable…as it is very vulnerable to illegal trading these days..
It’s a sincere request to team of Samachar Manthan team ,please improve the content of Samachar Manthan weekly and try to focus on analysis part and simplification rather use of fancy English words. Most importantly try to interlink the points with various schemes , national and international initiatives.
Please do check SM test answer sheet timely .
Canada is the fifth country with top 5 forest areas in the world
28 th SM ka print friendly notes kab aayega
hey please help how do you manage on time completion of SM?
There is no breakdown list of the topics that we are covering unlike old lectures. Can you please include the breakdown of topics in the description ?
Please provide micro notes and print friendly notes of sudhanshu sir of week 8 at the earliest
Include Questions of students in video, so that our doubts are also cleared
Everyday in the Hindu there is a cartoon mocking PM Modi, but does Sajal Sir read the hindu with closed eyes or he deliberately ignores it or is on an agenda to defame the current government, only he can tell.
Everyday these the hindu and the indian express leave no stone unturned in criticising the government of the day can sajal sir clarify which media house is being curbed from criticising the government of the day
The opposition parties speak bad words of PM Modi and even then they roam scott free, but sajal sir thinks opposition is being muzzled very very difficult to think or understand as to how he is neutral
Sajal Sir thinks that BJP is anti muslim party, but there has not been a single statement from him against muslims in the last 20 years, if his party men speak something how can PM Modi be blamed for ?? is it feasible to control the voice of the members of largest party of the world and if that is controlled wont that lead to curb on their freedom of speech ???
Why is this false narrative is being peddled day in and day out
bhakt giri mat karo
BJP is against constitution/
pm modi is the only pm in the history with zero press conference
imagine you to be pm and question asked u about aap batwa rakhte hai.
How cunning of the top congress leadership that with the motto of do or die they left the civilians to die but arranged themselves in such a manner that all of them were arrested on the same day ??
Weren’t they aware that british would arrest them so they should split or should devise an alternate strategy to carry on this movement even when they had the prior experience of how british dealt with any movement threatening their rule in India ?
All smacks of deep rooted conspiracy that all of them were arrested on the same day.
Congress Party enters into an MOU with Chinese communist party and then brings NGT Act, 2008 which facilitated the environmental activism hampering business expansion and investment
Mere coincidence or strategy to extend benefits of closed businesses in India, to china, from where imports significantly jumped up.
As judiciary want to reform from colonial clutches, in same way, i urge you to use hindi also, do not totally dependent on english language . its very plain lecture. make it more interesting .
Hello all,
