Why do you need to prepare for Reports and Indices?  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you look closely at the syllabus of ESI and ARD, both are filled with multiple subtopics. And even these topics have multiple angles attached to them. Therefore, in order to prepare for them, you need much more than the theoretical framework. You need to read the latest reports and indices to keep yourself updated about the current affairs pertaining to both ESI and ARD. For example, you need to know about recent census reports for livestock, you should be reading about livestock census, etc.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many other organizations, such as World Bank, releases GEP report, IMF releases World Economic Outlook, which every aspirant should read. So, this is how the topics in the NABARD Grade A syllabus are related to such reports and indices. Questions will be asked from such resources as they contribute majorly in the sectors of ESI & ARD. Most of the reports are published by governments and international organizations. But even reports published by private organizations also matter in such exams. Such organizations include the Institute for Economics and Peace, which releases Global Peace Index. Another notable organization is Reporters without Borders which publishes the World Press Freedom Report.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By reading all the information above, you must get a fair idea of why reports and indices are critical for the NABARD Grade-A exam.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
