Since this book comes highly recommended by coaching institutes and tutorials for the purpose of UPSC Civil Service, my personal opinion is that, even if one is not explicitly aiming for UPSC, this book is something you should have on your shelf. This is the one stop shop for many topics and subjects regarding the Indian government, its policies and deeds and much more relating to the administration of the country. Something which everyone should be aware of. So just to be updated with what i...

It's a very good book and not only that it also tells us about the recent progress of India in different sectors. It is a good knowledgeable book & specially for those who are preparing for Civil Services. It has given me a good knowledge of the country's progress in all fields. It's a vast book and I am still reading it.

the book is good, but it has got too much information to digest for a normal human being. Some of the information provided are not needed at all. Page quality is too good but still not happy with the content composition of the book. No normal exam like SSC/Bank/Railway ask such detailed questions.

Its a must book for every student who is preparing for various government exams ,specially civil services& pcs .The way in which every fact is explained in the book is very lucid ,it is a very good book for beginners or student who just started preparing themselves ,it has been divided into many chapters ,each one contains ample amount of information ,in the end very knowledgeful book for students !!!!!

THIS BOOK IS VERY RICH IN DATA AND ONE MUST BE PATIENT ENOUGH TO GO THROUGH. IF ONE COMPLETES IT HE WILL GET BENEFIT FOR SURE.

I can say only one word for this book i.e., excellent. It is excellent book for Civil Service Aspirants. It is also best and one of the standard book for general knowledge. It gives good knowledge about what is happening in India in last one year. It is not only useful for Civil Service Aspirants / others like SSC / Bank / Railway etc but also useful for people looking for basic information about India.
I recomended this book for everyone (mostly for those who are preparing for Civil Service...
