A brief analysis of various topics will be posted from subjects like Art & culture, History, Economy, Geography, Science and Technology, Environment and Ecology etc on a daily basis.

It will also help them in covering the current affairs part along with the topics from the static part of the UPSC syllabus and  get a clear idea on how to correlate issues in news with conventional topics and prepare notes on the same.
