Eversince the publication of Information India in the year 1989 the handy yearbook has been considered as a mini information software in print, rather than a book. It provides information on all international, national and regional matters together with complete references. The book has, therefore, been considered indispensable for college and university libraries and also for those appearing for various competitive examinations. No wonder, every new edition of the book has been keenly looked forward by all concerned.
