RRB Group D Current Affairs Quiz: 26 September 2026

The correct answer is Swachhta Mein Sahbhag - Swachh Bharat, Viksit Bharat. The theme joins two ideas, participation in cleanliness and the goal of a developed India, and every activity held under the campaign is expected to reflect it. The Swachhata Samvad at the Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes at Hisar was organised under exactly this theme, which is why the release names it. Option A reads like a slogan built from the campaign's own title but is not the theme announced for this edition. Option C is invented and merely strings together familiar words about complete cleanliness. Option D names a well-known call for a shared hour of voluntary cleaning work, which is a separate initiative rather than the theme of this campaign. Aspirants should keep the theme and such campaign slogans apart, since both appear in question papers.

The correct answer is 668 metres. The road over bridge whose foundation stone was laid between the Guntur and Nambur railway stations in Andhra Pradesh will run 668 metres and carry four lanes of traffic. It has been sanctioned at a cost of 108 crore rupees, the whole of which is being paid by the Ministry of Railways, and it requires 2.9 acres of land. Option A, 468 metres, option B, 568 metres, and option D, 768 metres, are all wrong because none of them is the figure announced for this bridge; only the 668-metre length is correct. Candidates should link the length with the other numbers of the project, because a question paper may ask for the cost or the land instead of the length.

The correct answer is kabaddi. On this day India stood first in both kabaddi events at the Asian Games: the men's team retained the gold medal it already held and the women's team won gold after a thrilling final, so the sport delivered two golds in a single day. Option A, hockey, is wrong because no hockey gold was announced among these results. Option C, squash, and option D, table tennis, are wrong because India's medals in those two sports on the same day were bronze, in the squash mixed team event and in mixed doubles table tennis, and not gold. Aspirants should link the sport with the colour of the medal and with the fact that both the men's and the women's teams stood on the top step.

The correct answer is the shot put. Tajinderpal Singh won silver in the men's shot put with an impressive throw, and the Prime Minister noted that his focus and perseverance have brought India laurels over and over, so this medal is another milestone in a long career. Options A, B and D name the javelin, the discus and the hammer, which are also throwing events in athletics but not the one in which he competed here, so they are wrong. Aspirants should link his name firmly with the shot put, because papers often list four throwing events as options. On the same day India's other athletics medal came from Prachi Choudhary, who took bronze in the women's 400m. His silver was one of the two silver medals India took that day, the other coming from the women’s rifle team event in shooting.

The correct answer is buffaloes, at Hisar. The abbreviation expands to the Indian Council of Agricultural Research - Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes, and the institute works under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. It was this institute that held the Swachhata Samvad for its contractual staff and Young Professionals as part of the campaign's Day-VIII action plan. Option A names an institute devoted to goat research at a different station, option C a body working on camels, and option D one working on poultry; all three are of the same family of council institutes, which is precisely why they make good distractors. For examinations it helps to remember the animal, the station and the parent ministry as a single unit, because questions on such institutes usually ask for the pairing of a research subject with its headquarters.

The correct answer is the Ministry of Railways. The bridge has been approved at an estimated cost of 108 crore rupees and the entire amount is being met by the Ministry of Railways, so the state exchequer pays nothing towards it. Option A is wrong because the Government of Andhra Pradesh is not sharing the cost, even though the bridge serves Guntur city. Option C is wrong because the National Highways Authority of India has no role in this project, which replaces a level crossing on a railway line. Option D is wrong because the bridge is a fully funded railway work and no private developer or toll arrangement has been announced for it. Aspirants should remember that road over bridges on railway lines are often shared between the railways and the state, which makes this fully railway-funded case worth noting.

The correct answer is that the team retained the gold it already held. The result was announced as the men's team retaining the Asian Games gold, and the Prime Minister greeted the players as champions once again, which tells us that India was the defending champion in the men's event and kept the title in this edition. Option A is wrong because a retained medal cannot be a first win. Option C is wrong because there was no upgrade from a silver; the team won the final. Option D is wrong because no sharing of the gold medal was reported. This distinction between winning a title and defending it is exactly the kind of detail question setters test, so note the word retained.

The correct answer is Joshna Chinappa and Velavan Senthilkumar. The pair won bronze in the squash mixed team event, and for Joshna the medal extended a remarkable run of consistency, since she has played at consecutive Asian Games and taken a medal at every edition since 2010. Option A is wrong because Manush Shah and Diya Chitale won their bronze in mixed doubles table tennis, a different sport on the same day. Option C names two of the three shooters who won silver in the women's 50m Rifle 3 Positions team event, so it is wrong here. Option D pairs a sprinter with a thrower, neither of whom took part in squash. Keep each sport with its own athletes when revising a medal day.

The correct answer is a platform for dialogue and discussion to widen participation in cleanliness work. The action plan for the day envisages the Samvad in exactly these terms, so that awareness about hygiene and sustainable waste management spreads through conversation. That is why the organisers set aside the usual lecture format and instead invited participants to describe practical problems at home, at work and in the areas around them, and to offer suggestions. Option B turns the exercise into a ranking contest, which is not its purpose. Option C describes an external inspection, whereas the Samvad was an internal and voluntary discussion. Option D is the very method the organisers deliberately avoided, since a one-sided lecture would not have drawn out the experiences of those present. The session closed with a collective commitment rather than an assessment.

The correct answer is Gate No. 3. The four-lane road over bridge is being built in place of Level Crossing Gate No. 3, which lies on the Guntur-Krishna Canal stretch of the Guntur-Nambur line. Removing the gate ends the halts that road users face whenever a train passes, and it also helps trains keep time. Options A, C and D name gates that are not connected with this project; the gate being closed is numbered three. The bridge stands close to the Inner Ring Road of Guntur city and will connect Bus Stand Road with Gorantla village. Students should also recall that the same ceremony highlighted the wider plan to remove level crossings across Andhra Pradesh through bridges built over and under the tracks.

The correct answer is after a thrilling final. The women's kabaddi team took its gold in a final that was described as thrilling, and the Prime Minister praised the side for remarkable courage, composure and teamwork, adding that India is proud of its kabaddi champions. Option B is wrong because no walkover was reported in the women's event. Option C is wrong because the gold was decided in a final and not by a points table. Option D is wrong because the final was completed and produced a winner. Along with the men's team keeping its title, this gave India both kabaddi golds on 26 September 2026, a pairing worth memorising for the sports section of competitive papers. For revision, pair the word retained with the men’s event and the word thrilling with the women’s final, because a paper may reverse the two descriptions.

The correct answer is the women's 400m. Prachi Choudhary finished third in that race, and her run was praised for earning India a place on the podium. Options A and C, the 200m and the 800m, are other track distances and are wrong because her medal came over one lap. Option D is the trickiest distractor, since the 400m hurdles is a separate event with its own final; the medal in question came in the flat 400m. Along with Tajinderpal Singh's silver in the men's shot put, this was India's second athletics medal of the day, while shooting, table tennis and squash brought one medal each. Remembering the exact distance is essential, because a paper can offer several sprint options.

The correct answer is 3500 crore rupees. While laying the foundation stone of the Guntur road over bridge, the Minister of State for Railways said that apart from bridges over and under the tracks, 74 railway stations in Andhra Pradesh are being rebuilt with modern, world-class facilities at an investment of 3500 crore rupees. Option A, option B and option D give amounts that were not announced for this station upgrade programme in the state. The figure is worth remembering along with the details of the bridge itself, namely its length of 668 metres, its sanctioned cost of 108 crore rupees and the 2.9 acres of land it needs, because station modernisation in a named state is a common question in railway and staff selection examinations.
