UPSC rarely asks the news; it asks the concept behind the news. Each monthly compilation here tags every item to its GS paper and syllabus line and links it to the static topic it belongs to — so current affairs builds on, rather than competes with, your static preparation.

How each month is organised

GS-paper sections — polity and governance, international relations, economy, environment, science and technology, security, society and culture.
For Prelims — the facts worth remembering: institutions, places, species, schemes, indices.
For Mains — the issue, the dimensions, and a line you could use in an answer.
Static link — the notes page where the underlying concept lives.

Monthly compilations will appear below as they are published.
