SSC CHSL Current Affairs Quiz: 30 September 2026

The correct answer is 2 to 31 October 2026. The Department of Food and Public Distribution stated that it is monitoring preparatory activities for the effective implementation of Special Campaign 6 during exactly this month-long window. Option A names the preparatory phase, not the campaign: during those two weeks the Department and its offices reviewed physical and electronic files and identified e-waste, scrap and unserviceable items for disposal. Options B and D give a shorter window and a later month, neither of which matches the announcement. For the examination, keep the two dates apart in your memory, because questions are often set on whether a given span is the preparation period or the campaign itself, and the campaign is the longer one that begins in the first week of October.

The correct answer is US$36.92 billion, the estimated economic contribution of the Ayush services sector in FY2024-25, growing at a compound annual rate of 16.91 per cent since FY2022-23. Option A, US$17.73 billion, is the revenue of Ayurveda alone, the largest of the six Ayush systems, which is close to 48 per cent of the sector rather than all of it. Option C, US$1.77 billion, is the Medical Value Travel revenue earned in FY25, a narrow slice built on foreign patients who make up only about 5 per cent of patient numbers. Option D, US$216 billion, is the lower end of the projection for 2047, not a present figure at all. Only option B states what the sector was worth in the year the study measured.

The correct answer is Neeru and Kynan Chenai, who took the top place in the Trap Mixed Team event at the Asian Games 2026 and set an Asian Record in the final while doing it. The other three options name pairs from other shooting disciplines, which is exactly the confusion a paper setter would build in. Option A pairs two pistol shooters, so it cannot be a trap result. Option C names two rifle shooters, again a different weapon family altogether: rifle and pistol events are fired at fixed paper or electronic targets, while trap is a shotgun event fired at moving clay targets. Option D likewise belongs to pistol shooting. Only trap shooters can win a trap event, and the pair that did it here, taking India’s first Asian Games gold in this event, is Neeru and Kynan Chenai.

The correct answer is AI-enabled translation of official and audit-related documents. The tool was built by BHASHINI as a customised language artificial intelligence solution for the audit institution, with care given to consistent terminology, translation that keeps context, and the quality of what comes out. Option A is wrong because the tool does not audit accounts; it translates the papers that audit work produces. Option C is wrong because it has nothing to do with tax filing. Option D is wrong because the aim is translation rather than the digitisation of old records. The solution also answers institutional requirements on security, controlled access and data sovereignty, and human oversight is retained rather than removed, so the machine assists the translator instead of replacing that judgement.

The correct answer is the collection, segregation and disposal of e-waste. The Department said that this year special focus is being given to electronic waste, along with the standing objectives of cleanliness, disposal of pending matters and better use of office space, and it identified a specific number of e-waste items for disposal during the preparatory phase. Option B is wrong because nodal officers were not recruited for the drive; they already exist and are being used to review progress in regular meetings. Option C is wrong because building warehouses is not part of this administrative drive, even though warehousing organisations are participating in it. Option D concerns agricultural price policy, which has nothing to do with a campaign on pendency, record management and waste disposal.

The correct answer is the Research and Information System for Developing Countries, better known as RIS, whose Director General, Professor Sachin Kumar Sharma, presented the findings. RIS is a policy research institute that works on trade and development questions, which is why an economic measurement of a health sector fell to it rather than to a medical body. Option C, the Indian Council of Medical Research, is the apex body for biomedical research in India and plausible at first glance, but it studies health and disease, not the money value of a service industry. Option A, NITI Aayog, is the government think tank and does publish sector reports, yet it did not author this one. Option D, the National Statistical Office, compiles official statistics but did not conduct this establishment-level survey. The survey behind the study covered 15,914 establishments across all six Ayush systems.

The correct answer is that the pair set an Asian Record in the final and that the medal is India’s first ever Asian Games gold in the Trap Mixed Team event. Both firsts belong to the same result, which is why the Prime Minister described it as a memorable achievement for Indian shooting. Option A moves the record to the wrong level and the wrong round: it was an Asian Record, not a World Record, and it came in the final rather than in qualification. Option C overstates the claim badly, because Indian shooters have been winning medals at the Asian Games for decades; what was new here was a gold in this particular event. Option D describes a perfect score, which is not what was reported. So only option B states the two firsts correctly.

The correct answer is the 74th Hindi Diwas and Hindi Pakhwada 2026, whose closing ceremony at the CAG Office in New Delhi was the occasion for the launch. Options B, C and D name other government observances and are wrong, because none of them hosted this launch. The Pakhwada itself ran from 14 to 29 September 2026, and the partnership extended beyond the translation tool: alongside the usual Hindi events, language activities and games built with BHASHINI were introduced so that officers and employees could handle language technology in an interactive way. Competitions were held on official language use, noting and drafting in Hindi, translation and typing, and the winners received prizes and certificates at the same closing ceremony.

The correct answer is the Food Corporation of India. The Department said that its attached and subordinate offices and public sector undertakings are taking part, and it named the Food Corporation of India, the Central Warehousing Corporation and the Warehousing Development and Regulatory Authority among them. All three work in the field of foodgrain procurement, storage and warehousing regulation, which is why they sit under this Department. Option A, the National Highways Authority of India, works under the road transport ministry. Option C, the Airports Authority of India, comes under civil aviation. Option D, the Indian Space Research Organisation, is the national space agency under the Department of Space. None of these three falls within the food and public distribution portfolio, so they are not part of this departmental drive.

The correct answer is 1.76 million livelihoods, which the study says the Ayush services sector directly supports, with more than a million of those jobs concentrated in local and standalone clinics. Option B, 17.6 million, is the same digits shifted by one decimal place, a trap for anyone reading quickly. Option C, 76 lakh, is another rewriting of the digits in Indian units and is far above the measured figure. Option D, 4.3 million, plays on 43 per cent, which is the share of women in the Ayush workforce rather than any count of jobs; in several organised segments female participation crosses half, reaching above 60 per cent in spas and resorts offering Ayush services and 58 per cent in educational institutions. So only option A names the employment figure the study reports.

The correct answer is shotgun. Trap is one of the shotgun events, in which clay targets are flung away from the shooter at speed and at shifting angles, leaving very little time to swing the gun on and fire. Option A, rifle, and option B, pistol, are the two other competitive shooting families, and both are fired at fixed targets from a set distance, so neither describes trap. Candidates mix them up because all three appear on the same Asian Games shooting programme. Option D, crossbow, is not part of the Asian Games shooting programme at all and belongs to a separate sport. In the mixed team version of trap, one woman and one man from the same country shoot as a pair and their scores are added, which is the format in which the Indian pair took gold with an Asian Record in the final.

The correct answer is 36. BHASHINI supports that many Indian text languages. Option B, 23, is the trap here, because it is the number of Indian voice languages the platform supports, a related but different count. Option C, 35, is also drawn from the same set of figures: it is the number of international languages supported. Option A, 22, is wrong because it matches no figure given for the platform, though it may look familiar from other language contexts. Holding the three numbers apart is the point of a question like this: 36 text languages, 23 voice languages and 35 international languages. Beyond languages, the platform powers more than 800 government websites, has enabled more than 9 billion cumulative AI inferences and processes over 24 million inferences a day.

The correct answer is K. Sanjay Murthy, who holds the office of Comptroller and Auditor General of India and attended the launch. He said that audit findings and reports ought to reach citizens in languages they understand, and pointed to the part technology can play in carrying audit information into local and regional languages. Option A, A. M. Bajaj, is wrong because he is the Deputy Comptroller and Auditor General. Option C, Nilotpal Goswami, is wrong because he is the Additional Deputy Comptroller and Auditor General handling official language work. Option D, Amitabh Nag, is wrong because he belongs to the other partner in this launch as Chief Executive Officer of the Digital India BHASHINI Division, which works under the Digital India Corporation in the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
