Using Samachar Pathshala

Samachar Pathshala provides current-affairs reading, saved articles, progress tracking, revision, quizzes, summaries, and related learning tools for UPSC preparation. By using Samachar Pathshala, you agree to these terms.

Accounts and Google Sign-In

You may need to sign in with Google to use account sync, saved content, progress tracking, subscription access, and personalized features. You are responsible for keeping your Google account secure and for activity that happens through your account.

Subscriptions and Payments

Some features may require a paid plan such as Samachar Pathshala Pro. Prices, billing periods, taxes, renewal terms, and available payment methods are shown during purchase.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. Refunds, cancellations, and failed-payment handling are governed by the purchase flow, applicable provider rules, and applicable law.

Learning Content

Samachar Pathshala may include public news references, PIB-related material, summaries, AI-assisted explanations, quizzes, and revision prompts. This content is provided for education and exam preparation support only.

Samachar Pathshala is not an official Press Information Bureau, Government of India, Google, or payment-provider product. Always verify important information with official sources. Samachar Pathshala does not guarantee exam results, selection, marks, or completeness of coverage.

Acceptable Use

• Do not misuse the service, attempt to break security, overload systems, scrape at abusive scale, or interfere with other users.
• Do not use Samachar Pathshala to upload, store, or share unlawful, infringing, harmful, or deceptive content.
