Check this Book HERE.
The book is available on Indian Telugu Civil Servants Association blog. The link will take you that site.
The book is must for Civil Services Mains. With the changed structure, a good reading and notes will be highly rewarding.
Just a side issue. Why do the government publication make Right Reserved fetish. On one hand, it is talking about RTI. On the other hand, It is promoting E-governance. However, while sharing basic data, they intend to exercise their intellectual Property right. Do these secretaries start feeling themselves as scholars and writers? Amusing.

The India Year Book 2011, a reference manual published by Publication Division of India is available on the site of Publication Division. To access the book Click HERE.

During recent analysis of the last year papers, it has been found that lesser number of questions are based on the contents of the India Year Book. Even then, it is recommended that reading of this book is essential as it otherwise helps to understand many aspects of Indian Polity and Economy which require special study.

I strongly recommend to retain it as one of the essential book to be read for Civil Services Preparation.

There is one bad news this time in case of this publication. Earlier, the whole book was available free of cost. This year, at least I am not able to download the whole book. Presently only five pages are available which includes the index of the chapter. The price is Rs. 345/-.

Current Event Portal

Current Event Portal of Wikipedia contains resources from 1997 onwards.

The candidates who have taken Political Science and International Relations as one of the option may find it highly useful.

Even the General Studies Main Candidates may find some of the articles on the portal which appear from time to time quite useful.

The Indian Newspapers also have archives. I generally use the archives of the Tribune, India. However, if the visitor visit the Current Event Portal of Wikipedia, I am sure, he/she will be attracted to the layout as well the contents of the front page itself.

No doubt I am revealing my source of information. I believe that now the approach to education is democratization of knowledge and sharing it without any hiding or restriction.

The portal can be accessed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events
