SSC CHSL Current Affairs Quiz: 27 September 2026

The correct answer is 138th. The September edition of the monthly radio address, broadcast on 27 September 2026, was its 138th episode, and in it the Prime Minister looked back at ten years of the surgical strike carried out on the night of 28-29 September 2016, appealed to households to enter their own census details online, and marked the birth centenary of Ashok Singhal. Option A, the 136th, and option B, the 137th, are the numbers of earlier editions and do not match the September 2026 broadcast. Option D, the 139th, is the edition that would follow this one in a later month, so it cannot be the episode aired on this date. Aspirants are advised to note both the episode number and the date together, because questions are often framed on the pairing of the two rather than on either alone.

The correct answer is Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, where the Union Minister of State for Science and Technology opened the congress. The meeting is hosted by the Institute of Nano Medical Sciences of the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the University of Delhi, which is why the capital is the venue. Option A names a different Delhi venue that had no part in this congress. Option C is wrong because Vigyan Bhawan is in the capital and not in Mumbai, so the city makes the option false even though the hall is correctly named. Option D is wrong because no session of this congress was held in Bengaluru; the gathering, which drew more than 2,000 scientists and young researchers, ran under the umbrella of the International Society of Nano Medical Sciences and the International Society for Nano Medicine.

The correct answer is 100 weeks. The campaign against drugs and substance abuse among the young has been designed as a sustained drive of that length, so that awareness work continues instead of ending with a single day or a single week of events. Option A, fifty weeks, would be roughly a year and is the sort of round figure a candidate guesses when the real number is not remembered. Option B, seventy five weeks, echoes the Amrit Mahotsav style of numbering that several other campaigns have used, which makes it tempting but wrong here. Option D, one hundred and fifty weeks, simply stretches the correct figure. Remember the number along with the full name of the campaign and the two volunteer bodies behind it, because a question can be framed on any of the three.

The correct answer is 28-29 September 2016. Indian Army soldiers crossed the Line of Control on that night and hit terrorist launch pads, and the action is described as a decisive break in the way India answers cross-border terrorism, followed later by the Balakot air strike and Operation Sindoor. Option A, 26-27 September 2015, carries the wrong year altogether. Option C, 13-14 September 2008, mixes up the strike with the serial blasts in Delhi of 13 September 2008, which took many innocent lives and were followed weeks later by the Mumbai attack. Option D, 11-12 September 2019, is invented and matches no event in the address. A useful memory hook is that the tenth anniversary of the strike falls in the same month as the broadcast itself.

The correct answer is 210 projects with Rs 174 crore. The minister gave these numbers while setting out how the government funds nanomedicine, and said the work covers targeted drug delivery, cancer nanomedicine, infectious-disease nanomedicine, nucleic-acid and vaccine delivery, nano-diagnostics and imaging, regenerative medicine, wound healing and nanotoxicology with regulatory science. Options A and C swap the two figures or invent a fresh one, so they turn the count of projects into the money and the money into the count. Option D raises both numbers and matches nothing that was said. Aspirants should also link the funding to BIRAC, whose Biotechnology Ignition Grant, PACE, Small Business Innovation Research Initiative and Biotechnology Industry Partnership Programme help turn such research into enterprise.

The correct answer is Mera Yuva Bharat, known as MY Bharat, and the National Service Scheme. Volunteers of these two bodies work alongside schools, colleges, universities and various social and spiritual organisations to run pledge ceremonies and awareness programmes under the campaign, and the competitions that feed it are hosted on the MY Bharat platform. Option A names two well known youth organisations that do similar community work, but they are not the two named here. Option C pairs a cadet organisation with a skilling body, and while cadets often join social campaigns, that is not the pairing behind this drive. Option D names an innovation mission and a parliamentary programme, neither of which is a volunteer network of this kind. Candidates should tie MY Bharat and the National Service Scheme to this campaign, since both names recur across youth affairs questions.

The correct answer is se.census.gov.in. A household logs in with its mobile number, gives its location, fills in the family details and submits the form; nothing has to be uploaded, the whole process runs to about fifteen to twenty minutes, and a special identity number comes back that is shown to the enumerator when the visit takes place. The facility works in Hindi along with sixteen other languages. Options B and C are plausible-looking addresses but neither was named as the census facility. Option D, mybharat.gov.in, belongs to the MY Bharat youth platform on which anthem, slogan and street play contests for the Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan were held, so it has nothing to do with the population count. Also remember the progress figures: more than thirty-two crore families on record and over two crore sixty lakh self-entries.

The correct answer is Prof. Roger D. Kornberg, a Nobel Laureate from Stanford University in the United States, who chairs the congress and described nanomedicine as a young and quickly changing field whose promise is to deliver the right amount of a medicine to the right place at the right time, improving results while reducing toxicity. Option A is wrong because Prof. T. M. S. Chang of McGill University in Canada holds the separate post of Honorary President. Option B is wrong because Prof. Yogesh Singh attended as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Delhi, the host university, not as Chairperson. Option D is wrong because Prof. Gobardhan Das was present as a Member of NITI Aayog among the distinguished participants at the inaugural session.

The correct answer is Nasha-Mukti Ka Sandesh. This is the strand of the campaign in which young volunteers take the warning against substance abuse into their own communities, speaking in their own languages and using their own forms of creative expression, and it was praised for exactly that reason. Option A, Yuva Sankalp Yatra, sounds like a youth march and borrows familiar words from other youth programmes, but it is not the initiative named. Option C, Swasth Yuva Abhiyan, points at health in general, and although health check-up camps and meditation camps are planned under the campaign, that is an activity and not the name of this initiative. Option D, Sandesh Se Samadhan, reuses the word for message to mislead. Learn the exact name, as questions on campaigns usually test the sub-initiative rather than the umbrella drive.

The correct answer is Modhera in Gujarat, which runs entirely on solar energy and is held up as a model of sustainability. Modhera is better known for its Sun Temple, raised by King Bhimdev the First in 1025 and attacked the very next year, when Mahmud of Ghazni also pulled down the Somnath temple; it hosts a dance festival every January after Makar Sankranti. Option A, Mana in Chamoli, is the village called the country's first village, where the census count in Uttarakhand began with 83-year-old Purnima Rawat. Option D, Bagori in Uttarkashi, is where a homestay owner filed his own census details digitally. Option C, Jharkhali in the Sundarbans, is where widowed women raise mangrove forests that protect their villages and earn them a living. Each of the three is a real place from the same address, which is exactly why they work as distractors.

The correct answer is DBT, ICMR and CDSCO, that is the Department of Biotechnology, the Indian Council of Medical Research and the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation. The minister said these three drew up a common framework for judging the safety, quality and effectiveness of nanopharmaceutical products, giving India a regulatory base alongside its research funding. Option B lists bodies that were not named in this context at all. Option C is wrong because BIRAC appeared in the speech as the route through which young biotechnology firms reach grants and partnership programmes, while NITI Aayog was mentioned only because one of its members attended the session. Option D is wrong because no hospital was named among the framers; the third partner with ICMR and CDSCO is the Department of Biotechnology.
