Preparation via YOUTUBE

Youtube as a source of preparation
YouTube had became an indispensable source for UPSC preparation specially to those who cannot afford coaching or from rural areas. Thanks to broadband penetration and Youtubers like Mrunal,coaching came to our study rooms from old rajendar nagar.In this post I would like to share some channels and playlists which will help bridge the gap between those who can afford coaching and those who cannot, in a humble way Youtube is bringing knowledge tothose who seek .“Ability isnothing without opportunity.” Napoleon BonaparteI strongly believe in less sources and more revision and I place my trust on Government sources primarily. So what are the government sources for UPSC preparation. All India Radio,Yojana,KurukshetraEconomic survey and Loksabha andRajya SabhaTV channels.Luckily Loksabha Tvstated posting its videos on Youtube , I suggest English shows mainly, so what to watch in Loksabha tv ?*.
Insights* : Daily discussion on some important issues*.Public Forum* : its an alternate day program,  TUE-THU-SAT 7 PM English , other days in Hindi, very useful for mains preparation.
