Civilsdaily brings you the 100 Most Important Issues that need to be read and understood for Mains 2019. This compilation contains issues that have a high probability of appearing in Mains 2019 and beyond.

Having a tech platform which connects daily news + op-eds dynamically to its relevant newstrail has many advantages.  It makes it easier to understand how a theme has evolved both qualitatively (facets of issues, complexity) and quantitatively (number of newscards, op-eds written and connected).

With that objectivity in hand and UPSC’s changing patterns in mind, we sat together to write down Explainers on the 100 probable topics for this years’ IAS Mains.
