PRESS INFORMATION BUREAU

 

While preparing for Indian Civil Services, you need to prepare from multiple sources. One of the most important sources that one must not avoid in the PIB (Press Information Bureau). The Press Information Bureau (PIB) is the nodal agency of the Government of India to disseminate information on government policies, programmes, initiatives and achievements.  It provides governmental information via press releases, articles, photographs, etc. available on its official website.

Importance of PIB

• You will get to know about any new initiative as well as new schemes, the policy being introduced by the government of India.
• One can enrich his/her knowledge base by going through articles on important personalities.
• Yearly reports by the various ministries and departments will be available in an organised manner.

On this page, Press Information Bureau summary is updated every day except on Sundays.
