Current Affairs forms part of the Maharashtra Police Bharti exam. Questions typically cover national and international events from the past 12–18 months, including government schemes, appointments, awards, sports achievements, summits, and significant policy decisions. This section tests your awareness of recent happenings and your ability to connect events with dates, places, and personalities.
Key ideas
- Government Schemes & Policies: New welfare programmes, amendments to existing schemes, and flagship initiatives (PM Vishwakarma, Ladli Behna, Namo Shetkari, etc.) may be tested.
- Appointments & Resignations: Key positions — President, Governors, Chief Justices, Election Commissioners, CAG, service chiefs, and heads of international bodies.
- Awards & Honours: Bharat Ratna, Padma awards, Sahitya Akademi, international prizes (Nobel, Booker, Oscar), and sports awards (Khel Ratna, Arjuna).
- Defence & Security: New missiles, ships, aircraft inducted; joint military exercises with names and partner countries; border-related developments.
- International Summits: G20, BRICS, SCO, ASEAN, COP climate conferences — host country, theme, key outcomes, India's role.
Watch out for
- Confusing host years: Students mix up G20 2023 (India) with G20 2024 (Brazil). → Always link summit with host country AND year together.
- Wrong mission names: Chandrayaan-3 (Moon), Aditya-L1 (Sun), Gaganyaan (manned mission — upcoming). → Create mental associations: Chandra=Moon, Aditya=Sun.
- Outdated information: Remembering old CJI/CEC names. → Revise appointments every 2–3 months; note tenure dates.
Quick reference
- G20 2023 → India (Delhi) → African Union permanent member
- Chandrayaan-3 → 23 August 2023 → Landing near the south pole → 4th country on Moon
- Asian Games 2023 → Hangzhou → India: 107 medals (28 Gold) → Best ever
- Bharat Ratna 2024 → 5 recipients including Karpoori Thakur, LK Advani
- Atal Setu → MTHL → 21.8 km → India's longest sea bridge → January 2024
