Chronicle Year Book 2023

The 21st edition of Chronicle Year Book is fourth in the series that is based on a new approach towards presenting the content. We introduced this new concept of Year Book in 2019 that was widely accepted and appreciated by our readers. The idea was to equip the readers with relevant knowledge and help them address the changing nature of questions in different competitive examinations.

This book has been written under the guidance of Mr. N.N. Ojha (Editor, Civil Services Chronicle) with contributions from Chronicle Editorial Team.

Now-a-days, rather than facts & figures based questions, analytical questions are being asked in competitive examinations. This book, with in-depth analysis of current issues, enlightens the readers about the finer points of the issues, the implications and also government policies and interventions regarding them.

Chronicle Year Book 2023 presents a useful compilation of recent developments, government interventions (plans/policies/schemes) to address those developments, and relevant UN provisions related to those topics; proposals and initiatives (various reports/indices released and commissions/committees constituted); national & international organizations; Constitutional provisions and legislative measures (Acts/Amendments/Bills); and important judgments, etc. It also covers key highlights of the Union Budget 2023-24 & Economic Survey 2022-23. It has been observed that most of the questions in competitive examinations (objective tests in particular) are asked from the above-mentioned areas.

Also, the book comprehensively analyses current issues that have a bearing on the world, the society, and also on individuals. These are discussed under different sections – Economy, Social Development, Science & Technology, Environment, Administration & Governance, National Security, and International Relations. This section will help the readers prepare for examinations that involve descriptive tests.

The book is very useful for UPSC, all State PSCs & various other competitive examinations. It also serves as a valuable source of knowledge for students at the university level and general readers who seek to gain deep insights into the important national and international issues.

Hope this book will immensely help you achieve your career objectives.
