Current Affairs April 2022 (Part 2)

The General Knowledge section of a Competitive Exam comprises Current Affairs (CA) questions chosen from a wide range of national and international events. The developments include areas such as: appointments & elections, sports tournaments, development projects, books & authors, defence news, awards & prizes, international summits etc. A student engaged in preparation for SSC, Banking & other Govt.
