In this issue of the Magazine we have covered the wide ranging issues of National and International importance that occurred in the last twelve months or so with additional inputs in order to provide the basic understanding of the key issues. Background material has been covered for such issues which require greater attention keeping examination requirement in mind. All important Awards and Honours, Books and Authors, Persons and Places, Meeting and Summits, Institutions and Organisations have been covered in such a manner so that examination requirement is successfully met. Current issues related to Defense, Science and technology, Environment and wildlife, Art and Culture, Economy and Sports have also been covered extensively. Issues of greater importance like Climate Change Summit in Paris, WTO Ministerial Conference Meeting in Nairobi, Human Development Report 2015, Nobel Prizes 2015 and some other topics have been given both the objective and the analytical coverage.
