Attached is the sample document of our Mains-2022 Economy, compilation of 01 year's Current Affairs from Mains perspective.

Dear Students,

It is strongly recommended that you should start reading current affairs from now only so that at least two-times revision could be done before Mains exam. In Mains exam, you write only those things which are deeply engrained in your memory. And things become deeply engrained only with multiple revision. Without which, you do not write points which you had read as a part of current affairs compilation.

So, we have compiled the last 1 year’s Current Affairs from Mains 2022 perspective. We are launching Mains-2022 Economy. We have already released Mains-2022 Polity and Governance as well as Internal Security and shall be releasing the rest of the Mains-2022 documents as per the following schedule.
