What is the best strategy to learn about Current Affairs?

ClearIAS Current Affairs Course Current Affairs is not separate from traditional subjects  – it is an extension of static topics like History, Geography, Polity, Economics, Environment, Science and Technology, etc.

Hence, the best strategy to learn about Current Affairs is to link it with respective static topics.

That is the reason why when we started the ClearIAS Current Affairs Course, we provided subject-wise and topic-wise current affairs.
