Current Events & Developmental Issues

📖 What's covered

This section evaluates awareness of ongoing developments — government policies, schemes, appointments, international events — and standing developmental issues facing India.

• Current affairs — national and international events of the past 6-12 months.
• Government schemes — welfare and labour-related schemes, especially those tied to EPFO's own mandate.
• Developmental issues — poverty, unemployment, informal-sector welfare, social security gaps.

🎯 Preparation approach

Since EPFO recruits for a labour-welfare organisation, current affairs tied to employment, social security, and labour reforms carry disproportionate weight compared to a general current-affairs paper.
