Static Awareness: An Insight Into The Indian States (Chhatisgarh)
(CHHATISGARH)
Dear Readers,
Today, we are discussing the state Chhatisgarh.
In SBI Clerk Mains, everyone got shocked seeing a good number of static questions other than Current
Affairs and Banking Awareness. Well, this simply means what SBI is expecting and keeping up to the
expectation, you will have to be ready for any kind of challenge. It is quite tough to chose what to
study and what not to. Friends, its not easy to prepare current affairs, banking awareness and static
awareness all at once and that too a week or two before exam. So friends, we are starting a series that
will help you learn static general awareness in a state wise manner. Its classified in this way so that you
can remember all the important things about that state. Today, we are discussing the state
