The Topic of the Day

The Topic of the Day initiative by BYJU’s is to help the IAS Aspirants  understand various concepts that are a part of the UPSC Syllabus. 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.

Topic of the Day will not only be useful for IAS aspirants in the Prelims preparation but will also provide fodder for Mains exam. Understanding the basic concepts will help the aspirants build a strong foundation for their UPSC Civil Services Exam preparation. 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.
