ESI Related Current Affairs for NABARD Grade A

You must already understand the significance of Economic and Social Issues (ESI) in your preparation if you are a NABARD Grade A candidate. However, I have a small secret to share with you. It will be even more impressive if you keep up with recent events pertaining to ESI. Everything matters, from major reports and trends to recent government actions. In this article, we will discuss in depth the ESI related current affairs for NABARD Grade A.

ESI Related Current Affairs for NABARD Grade A

If you want to crack the ESI (Economic & Social Issues) section in NABARD Grade A, then you just cannot negotiate being updated with current affairs. It is not just a theoretical section. It’s about understanding how policies, schemes, reforms, and social changes are playing out in real time. As a smart aspirant, your aim should be to connect static ESI concepts with current headlines.

Why ESI Current Affairs Matter in NABARD Grade A

Students often wonder that if they have deeply studied the static part, then what’s the need to focus so much on current affairs? Let me burst the bubble. NABARD’s ESI section tests how well you can connect static concepts with real-world developments. So, you don’t just have to memorize the schemes; you actually have to understand their application. For example, if a question comes around about “financial literacy,” and you’re aware of the RBI’s recent initiatives, you’ve already impressed the examiner. So it’s a good practice to keep tabs on news related to rural development, agriculture, employment, social justice, and financial inclusion.

Recent Government Schemes You Shouldn’t Miss

Government schemes are always in the limelight, and rightly so. They are often the heart of ESI current affairs.

Some recently updated or launched schemes you should definitely revise:

• PM Vishwakarma Yojana (2023) – For traditional artisans and craftspeople.
• National Livelihood Mission – Still in focus for rural women empowerment.
• PM-KISAN Updates – Direct benefit transfers and changes in disbursement structure.
• Mission Shakti – Focused on women empowerment and safety.
• Skill India Mission 2.0 – Recently revamped for greater outreach.

Tip: Whenever you read about a scheme, note down its launch year, nodal ministry, objective, and any latest updates. These are commonly asked in the exam.
