India Year Book is published by Publication Division, Ministry
of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India and
isconsidered a raam-baand aushadhi for UPSC Preparation. It is
actually named as India like India 2011, India 2012. India2011 was
published at the end of year 2010 or at the starting of 2011, so it
covered everything that happened in and until 2010.The complete
name is India ABCD A Reference Annual, where ABCD is the year of
publication.(Mrunal Note: the same book available in Hindi under
title Bharat 2013It has lots of data and it is really hard to read
it and the question of remembering anything doesnt comes up. ;) So
how to cracksuch a tough nut. Here is what I did? It is a very
silly way but this is how I did it.
There is one book available in the market called India ABCD At A
Glance (based on India (Pub. Divn India mentionedabove)) published
by New Vishal Publication. It is again one book that you cannot
read as it can be termed as notes of IndiaYB. It throws so much
data at you without any references that it becomes even hard to
read it. So, this cannot be the solutioneither.Here is what I did
to read India YB. As New Vishals India (henceforth known as NV) is
a copy of India YB (Henceforthknown as IYB), I tried to mix them
both. So, here are the steps that I followed:-
Four SittingsFirst
Sitting Take the points from NV and find the same line in IYB.
Mark all such points in I using a Marker.
SecondSitting
Now start reading IYB and put away NV. Mark any extra points you
thing would be relevant. Also, keepunmarking those points that you
had marked from NV, if you think that information is redundant or
not
required.ThirdSitting
Read only the markings from IYB in this sitting. Definitely you
will be reading some lines here and there butthat is okay.
FourthSitting
Yahan tak agar pahunch gayeto apne charan yahan post kar dena!!
Hum natmastak ho jaaayenge!! ;) In thisreading you will be
referring only the markings alone
You have to do all this one after another without switching to
any other subject or book. This is how I managed to read India
YearBook.
Important Chapters is India Yearbook
India Year Book has data, which can overwhelm anyone. So, how to
deal with it. Moreover, it has some chapters, which are
notrelevant, some are relevant for Prelims and Mains, some only for
Mains, some only for Prelims, some are for relevant for
Interviewand some are relevant for Essay. I will try to put in
details which chapter to be used for which part of examination and
what to readfrom it
Table 1 :Code DefinitionA Most ImportantB Lesser Important than
A
C Not important (If I mention only C, then it is not important
for both Mainsand Prelims). Otherwise I will provide details with
the code)D Eliminate/Selective ReadingE Essay
