General Knowledge & Current Affairs (including Chhattisgarh GK)
What this domain tests
General Knowledge & Current Affairs in CG Vyapam Sub Auditor checks Chhattisgarh's state profile, national static GK and recent events. The CG portion usually turns on formation, polity, geography, tribes, economy and state symbols.
Core facts to lock
- Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh on 1 November 2000 and is counted as the 26th state; capital Raipur, High Court at Bilaspur, 90-member Assembly, 33 districts and five divisions (Raipur, Bilaspur, Durg, Sarguja, Bastar).
- Key rivers: Mahanadi, Sheonath, Hasdeo, Indravati. Chitrakote Falls, near Jagdalpur, is on the Indravati and is called the 'Niagara of India'.
- Kanger Valley National Park and Kutumsar Cave lie in Bastar; Achanakmar-Amarkantak is a biosphere reserve. Bhilai Steel Plant is in Durg district; Korba is a thermal-power hub.
- Tribal communities include Gond, Baiga, Halba and Bhatra; Bastar Dussehra is a major state festival.
- Current affairs: link each event to a state institution, scheme or district rather than memorising isolated headlines.
Worked example
Question: Chitrakote waterfall is formed by which river? Reasoning: place it first-Jagdalpur, Bastar-then recall the river is the Indravati, not the Mahanadi. Answer: Indravati.
Traps
Do not mix the formation year 2000 with 2001; do not confuse Raipur (capital) with Bilaspur (High Court); do not answer national current affairs when the question says 'in Chhattisgarh'.
