Hello friends!


They say "Unity is strength". Plus they say, In GK group study is way more helpful than self-study. I don't know who THEY are but I surely know GK is vast an studying it alone may become cumbersome.Hence, this group.

Here, we shall rip apart the PD Indian Economy Issue plus the material of various institutes.
Why this when there are other GK forums?
Because, this is a study-group, where tasks are divided among the members. Every day you shall be allocated one part. One needs to study that part only and post all the questions along with the answers. In this way, you'll do your part of revision and you'll be able to get the questions of other sections. In short, lesser input, better output!

Let us go and tear apart the issues of social concern!

PS: The members of this group may end up becoming friends and may be have a party in ANAND very soon !!

I take the first step. The population part of PD. Questions along with answers coming in a few hours.


Choose your own part. And let us begin!
