The Ultimate Blueprint for Answer Writing for Optional Subjects. Register here...

Having a lateral reading habit acts as the cherry on top for the preparation of UPSC, as students who have a habit of general reading tend to present better examples, case-studies, and analysis. They usually have more viewpoints on any issue. Hence no one can deny the importance of general reading.

Under the ‘Book Shelf’ initiative, summaries of books will be provided for the purpose of familiarizing students with some of the basic and important lateral readings. These readings provide a more comprehensive understanding of topics that will help aspirants in writing Mains answers in a more critical manner instead of writing just the mugged up things. Through these books, aspirants will get insight into some of the important topics of UPSC and will broaden the horizon of their knowledge.  These book-summaries will help students to know more about the key and important ideas that are popular. We hope it will be a worthy addition to our website and will help students.
