RRB Group D Current Affairs Quiz: 3 October 2026

The correct answer is Majigam in Navsari district, Gujarat. Union Minister of Jal Shakti Shri C. R. Patil attended the Special Gram Sabha there, in Chikhli Block, on Swachh Bharat Diwas. He honoured sanitation workers, viewed the Waste to Art display and planted a sapling under the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam drive. The other three options name villages where Special Gram Sabhas were also held, but they were attended by officers of the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, not by the Union Minister. Option A, Sayli in Dadra and Nagar Haveli, was visited by a Deputy Secretary, who also saw a sewage treatment plant. Option D, Pindarkom in Ranchi district of Jharkhand, was covered by another Deputy Secretary, and option C, Ratipur in Palwal district of Haryana, saw an inspection of the waste segregation shed. Aspirants should link the Minister's name with the village, the block, the district and the state.

The correct answer is the men's cricket team. The Prime Minister congratulated the Indian men's cricket side on retaining its gold medal at the Asian Games, called the result a joyous occasion for the nation and wished the players well for their future endeavours. Option A is wrong because the greeting was addressed to the men's team; cricket at the Games is played by women's teams as well, which is exactly why a paper setter offers the women's side as a distractor. Option C is wrong because hockey, although a sport in which India competes strongly at the Games, is not the sport named in this message. Option D is wrong for the same reason: kabaddi is another discipline in which India has a strong Asian Games record, but the medal referred to here belongs to cricket. The pairing to remember is the men's cricket team with a retained gold medal.

The correct answer is men's 57 kg freestyle. The wrestler won the gold medal in that weight category, and it was recorded as the first time India has won an Asian Games gold in this event, which is precisely what makes the category worth memorising along with the name. Option B, the 65 kg class, is wrong because it is a different and heavier weight category and is not the event in which this first was set. Option C, the 74 kg class, is wrong for the same reason; weight classes in freestyle wrestling are distinct competitions, and a title in one says nothing about another. Option D, the 97 kg class, is wrong here as well, and candidates should be careful because India's medal in that heavier class at the same Games was of a different colour. The safe way to revise such results is as a set of three linked details: the athlete's name, the exact weight category in kilograms, and the colour of the medal won.

The correct answer is men's 97 kg freestyle wrestling. The bronze medal was won in that weight category after a fiercely contested bout, and the result was described as bringing India back on to the podium in the event after six decades. Option A, the 57 kg class, is wrong because that is the lightest men's freestyle category and a different wrestler took India's medal there at the same Games, so candidates must keep the two results apart. Option B, the 86 kg class, is wrong because it is a separate weight division altogether and was not the event in question. Option D, the 125 kg class, is wrong because it is the heaviest men's freestyle category and is not the one named here. In revision, the safest method with wrestling results is to write the weight in kilograms next to the athlete's name, since several Indian wrestlers often win medals at the same Games in neighbouring weight classes and examination papers exploit exactly that confusion.

The correct answer is an annual digital self-assessment carried out by a Gram Panchayat. The framework lets a panchayat judge its own sanitation work each year, and it was taken up in the Special Gram Sabhas, above all in ODF Plus (Model) Gram Panchayats; the Joint Secretary and Mission Director of the Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) made a presentation on it at Majigam. Option A is wrong because it is not an award given from the centre to a district; it is an exercise the panchayat performs on itself. Option C is wrong on two counts, since the framework belongs to the rural arm of the mission and is not a survey of urban toilets. Option D is wrong because no vehicle subsidy was announced; what the sabhas reviewed were the results of Swachhata Hi Seva 2026, the four-way segregation of waste at source required by the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026, and the listing of bulk waste generators.

The correct answer is a title retained from a previous edition. The message spoke of the team retaining its title and of the gold coming to India yet again, which together make clear that the side was defending a medal it already owned rather than claiming one for the first time. Option A is wrong because a maiden win would be the opposite of a defence, and the wording rules that out. Option B is wrong because nothing was upgraded; the team finished on top of the podium on merit. Option D is wrong because the medal was India's own gold rather than a shared one, and no tied final is described. This distinction between a first and a defence is the single most testable detail in the story, so read the verbs in such news items carefully: won, retained and defended point to different answers.

The correct answer is bronze. The congratulatory message traced the wrestler's progress from a bronze medal at the last Asian Games to standing at the top of the podium this time, and it was this climb that the Prime Minister described as a display of great tenacity. Option A, gold, is wrong because the gold in this weight category had never been won by India before the present result; if he had already won it, the win could not have been described as a first. Option B, silver, is wrong because the earlier medal named in the message is specifically the bronze. Option D is wrong because he did reach the podium at the previous edition, and that earlier medal is the reference point for the improvement being celebrated. Questions of this type test whether a candidate can separate the current result from the previous one, so both the colour of the earlier medal and the colour of the new one should be revised as a pair.

The correct answer is that it returned India to the podium in this event after six decades. The congratulatory message put the achievement precisely in those terms, noting that six decades later India was back among the medallists in the men's 97 kg freestyle wrestling event at the Asian Games. Option A is wrong because India has a long record of wrestling medals at these Games across several weight categories; the gap being closed belongs to this one heavier class, not to the sport as a whole. Option C is wrong because the medal followed a fiercely contested bout, a detail specifically recorded in the message. Option D is wrong because India won medals in other disciplines at the same Games, including golds. The point to carry into the examination hall is the pairing of a weight category with a long gap, because a question may give the gap and ask for the event, or give the event and ask for the gap.

The correct answer is Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam, the plantation drive under which Shri C. R. Patil and the Joint Secretary and Mission Director of the Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) planted trees at Majigam. The same drive was followed at the sabhas in Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Jharkhand and Haryana, where plantation accompanied the honouring of sanitation workers and the Swachhata pledge. Option A, Van Mahotsav, is the long-standing tree-planting week of July and was not the drive named here. Option C, Harit Bharat Abhiyan, is a plausible-sounding title but no such drive figures in the day's programme. Option D, Nagar Van Yojana, concerns urban forests and city green spaces, which is not what the Gram Sabhas in villages were doing. Remember the drive along with the Waste to Art exhibit and the Swachhata pledge taken by everyone present.

The correct answer is a joyous occasion for the nation. That is the phrase used in the congratulatory message, which also carried best wishes to the team members for their future endeavours, while the Prime Minister's Office noted on X that the gold had come to India yet again. Options B, C and D are wrong because none of them was the description given; each sounds like the sort of phrase that appears in sporting tributes, which is what makes them usable as distractors, but a question on a quoted phrase has only one defensible answer. Candidates sometimes lose marks here by picking the grandest sounding option rather than the one actually used. When a question asks how an achievement was described, look for the exact words reported rather than a plausible paraphrase of them.

The correct answer is the Prime Minister. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the wrestler on winning India's first Asian Games gold in the men's 57 kg freestyle event, called the win a phenomenal triumph and said that the journey from bronze at the last Games to the top of the podium showed great tenacity. The message was carried by the Prime Minister's Office on X. Option A, the President, is wrong because the message recorded here came from the Prime Minister, not from Rashtrapati Bhavan. Option C, the Chief Justice of India, is wrong because that office heads the judiciary and has no role in greeting sportspersons on behalf of the government. Option D, the Vice-President, is wrong for the same reason as the first option: the congratulations in this case were the Prime Minister's. Candidates should note the pattern, since medals won by Indian athletes at major Games are routinely followed by such messages and questions are often framed around who said what.

The correct answer is as a new chapter in India's wrestling journey. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the wrestler on the bronze won after a fiercely contested bout, said the achievement adds a new chapter to the country's wrestling journey and wished him continued success in the time to come. Option B is wrong because the medal in question was won at the Asian Games, a continental multi-sport event, and not at the Olympic Games; mixing up the two is a common error with wrestling results. Option C is wrong because the 97 kg class is one of the heavier men's categories, not the lightest, and no record in a light weight was being described. Option D is wrong because freestyle wrestling at these Games is an individual competition decided bout by bout, so there was no team result to celebrate. Candidates should link the exact wording of such messages to the fact being tested, namely the athlete, the weight class and the medal.
