Hello,

This is a new initiative from my side - Akhyan Diaries. Its a series of podcasts with scholars and authors. Anirudha Kanisetti is the second in the series.

I, as a teacher, got little bored with regular classroom teaching. And thus I wanted to do something new, fresh and engaging. So, we started this podcast for expanding the horizons of History for upsc aspirants.

The topics here are going to be useful for upsc aspriants, but not in the regular run-of-the-mill format. We will engage with interesting people and enrich our understanding beyond typical notes and textbooks.

It adds to knoweldge, and it is fun. For you, I am deeply interested in knowing what do you think. Any and all genuine feedback is most welcome in the comment section.

Also, apart from the feedback, if you have any guest scholar/author in mind, do let us know. We will try to get him/her on board.

Nikhil

📢 LevelUp IAS is observing holiday today (2nd Oct) for Gandhi Jayanti & Dussehra | Classes resume tomorrow ✨

Make it a special day of' Reflection & Renewal'

October 2nd marks two powerful occasions:
Gandhi Jayanti reminding us of truth, simplicity, and the courage to stand by values.

Dussehra the victory of good over evil, of clarity over confusion, of discipline over distraction.

As UPSC aspirants, both festivals are more than holidays they are metaphors for your own journey. Every page you read is your satyagraha against ignorance. Every test you attempt is your Ramayana battle, cutting down one weakness at a time.
Keeping with the spirit of this day, LevelUp IAS is observing a holiday today.

Take this time to reflect, recharge, and realign your preparation with purpose.
We’ll meet you tomorrow with the same energy ready to build the officers of tomorrow.

🙏 Happy Gandhi Jayanti & Dussehra!

Team LevelUp IAS

Another extremely sad news.

The stalwarts of the 20th century, the people who created the post World War world with their sheer hardwork and intelligence, are passing away. The era is closing.

UPSC Chairman Dr. Ajay Kumar went live for the first time on DD News, answering questions from aspirants. What did he say about prelims, mains, and the future of CSE?
