How IAS Aspirants Can Study More Effectively Through Present-Moment Awareness: Click here
Dear students,
We understand that the UPSC exam is a generalist exam. It’s more important to cover more issues than to cover one issue in more depth. Hence, through Samachar Manthan, we are trying to maintain a fine balance of covering many important news items and having a detailed discussion on selected topics which require the same. On daily basis a news gets repeated multiple times. Scattered knowledge is not adequately useful when you have to write a 200 words answer within 6-7 minutes. To handle this, Samachar manthan covers such issues in a comprehensive and consolidated manner which is the smart strategy.
For example this week, we will be covering the following issues;
Economics
Enviro & Biodiversity
Governance
International Relations 38
Polity
Science Tech
Security Issues 59
Present-moment awareness is fundamental to doing well in all aspects of life. This video discusses the meaning of being present and how UPSC aspirants can use this powerful technique of productivity and contentment.

Dear Students,
As aspirants, we all have a tendency to wait for that perfect moment when we would have completed the syllabus and done with all the revisions before we get to attempting answer writing.
The bitter truth is that there is no such perfect moment. It is only delaying your answer writing. You should remember that you will build confidence only by writing more and more answers, not by postponing the date to be more thorough with the .
Some things are best learnt by doing. Take swimming for example. You will only learn when you jump in the pool, not by tutorials or by watching others swim.
A test series gives you the opportunity to test yourself and also helps you in improving your writing.
