ONE-LINERS CURRENT AFFAIRS (20 MAY, 2016)

Keeping yourself abreast with the latest happenings is not only important for enhancing our awareness but it also plays a pivotal role in any Competitive Exams, be it IAS, KAS, Bank PO, SSC and any other. It is a scoring subject and one can easily get above 90% in this which can be a game changer. But, to do so it requires incessant serious efforts. Reading regularly is impertinent, but it is such a subject which is time consuming and there are other important subjects as well to deal with.

So, we Aaj Ki Pathshala are here with our one-liners approach to Current Affairs. Not only read it but also write it down for further revision. Happy reading.
