Enrich - Anthropology
Anthropology optional has been a very high-scoring optional subject in the last decade of the UPSC Mains Exam. It is one of the most scientific of the Humanities and most humane of all sciences which makes this discipline highly logical, analytical, and yet easy to understand. However, despite a full-fledged foundation program, very few can write answers to the demands of questions. Majorly linking current updates to answers, analysing UPSC trend and value addition to conceptual understanding is the key to success in the Main Exam.
Vajiram and Ravi brings to you Enrich-Anthropology Programme, which is a tailor-made course for the students who are done with their basic reading of the optional and are looking to maximize their score through better understanding of the concepts linking with the contemporary discourse within the discipline.
