📖 How to Revise Daily Current Affairs 30 October 2026
Do not try to memorise every number in one sitting. Start with the headings and the Exam Point boxes, because those hold the facts examiners like to test: names of schemes, organisations, venues, amounts and first-ever achievements.
Next, go through the one-liners and say each answer aloud before reading it. Mark the ones you get wrong and revisit them after a day, then again after a week. This spaced revision helps current affairs stay in memory until the exam.
Finally, link each news item to the static syllabus, for example PM-KISAN to Direct Benefit Transfer, MSP to the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP), Kankrej to India’s indigenous cattle breeds of Gujarat, green hydrogen to the National Green Hydrogen Mission (approved in January 2023), Ayushman Vay Vandana to Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY (launched in 2018), the digital fraud case to the RBI’s role as banking regulator, PMEGP to KVIC, NCDC to the Ministry of Cooperation (created in 2021), and the Delhi Declaration to the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties. Questions in SSC, Banking and State PSC papers often combine a current event with a static fact.
