SSC CHSL Current Affairs Quiz: 12 October 2026

The correct answer is 1,469 locations. The programmes were spread over that many places in thirty-four States on a single day, and more than three and a half lakh young people and other citizens joined them. Option A inverts two digits of the right figure and is the trap a hurried reader falls into. Option C reverses the order of the digits altogether and matches nothing reported about the day. Option D is tempting for a different reason: the participation figure for the day was over 3.65 lakh, and a candidate who confuses the count of people with the count of places will pick it. Keeping the two apart is the point of the question, since examiners like pairing a spread figure with a participation figure. Also worth holding on to are the four thousand five hundred and fifty-two activities conducted and the four thousand five hundred and sixty-eight slogans collected, which belong to the same day and the same campaign.

The correct answer is 13 October 2021, which is why the plan completes five years in October 2026. The idea was to put data held by different ministries, states and union territories onto one Geographic Information System platform so that road, rail, port, airport, waterway and utility networks could be planned together instead of in isolation. Option B is wrong because no launch on that date is recorded for this plan. Option C, 13 October 2022, names the right day of the year but the wrong year, and 2022 is instead the year Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya was established, so candidates often mix the two. Option D falls before the plan existed. Five years on, the platform covers 58 Central Ministries and Departments and all 36 States and Union Territories.

The correct answer is 60,000 crore rupees. PM-SETU, which stands for Pradhan Mantri Skilling and Employability Transformation through Upgraded ITIs, is a flagship scheme with that total outlay, and it seeks to change vocational education through deep industry participation and institutional reform. Option A, 440 crore rupees, is only the approved investment for the Surat and Visakhapatnam clusters taken together. Option B, 3,446 crore rupees, is the total approved proposed investment across the first 14 Strategic Investment Plans cleared under the scheme, so it is a subset and not the outlay. Option D confuses the money with the target, since 1,000 is the number of Government ITIs the scheme plans to upgrade, alongside strengthening five National Skill Training Institutes.

The correct answer is the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010, read with the Clinical Establishments (Central Government) Rules, 2012. Together they form the regulatory framework for clinical establishments, and the Rules require that the rate charged for each type of service and each facility be displayed at a conspicuous place, in the local language as well as in English. Option B governs medical education and the registration of practitioners, not the display of hospital charges. Option C deals with consumer rights and redressal in general and is not the instrument the Health Secretary's letter relies on. Option D regulates the manufacture, sale and quality of drugs and cosmetics. Only the 2010 Act, with its Rules, carries the display obligation that the Centre has asked states to enforce.

The correct answer is the Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Abhiyan. The parliaments and the melas were organised as a part of this campaign, and specifically under the leg of it called the 100 Weeks Campaign, with the stated aim of turning young people into active workers against substance abuse in their own localities. Option A names a fitness drive and has nothing to do with the activities described, which centred on pledges, debates, signature drives and street plays against drug abuse. Option C points to a sporting programme, and although both come from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, the day in question was not a sporting event. Option D is a cleanliness-flavoured name offered to catch candidates who associate every youth drive with sanitation. The platform that ran the programmes was MY Bharat, and the parliaments themselves were organised at the block level so that they stayed close to the neighbourhoods they addressed.

The correct answer is 58. The master plan brings 58 Central Ministries and Departments into a single planning framework, so that infrastructure proposals can be assessed across sectors rather than ministry by ministry. Option A, 36, is the number of States and Union Territories covered by the plan, and the pair of figures is easy to swap in an exam. Option B belongs to the Unified Logistics Interface Platform, which had connected 46 government systems as of July 2026 through its application programming interfaces. Option D, 230, is the count of approved datasets made available on the public PM GatiShakti platform for site suitability analysis, connectivity mapping, alignment planning and compliance checks. Only option C answers the question asked, which is about ministries and departments.

The correct answer is 51 per cent. Dedicated Special Purpose Vehicles are being set up to manage the upgradation and operations of the two ITI clusters, and in them the industry partner AM/NS India holds a majority stake of 51 per cent. Option A, 24.5 per cent, is the equity that the Government of India holds, and the same share is held by the respective state government, so together the two governments account for 49 per cent. Option B is therefore the combined government share rather than the company's. Option D is not part of this structure at all. The majority stake is what gives the arrangement its industry-led character, with the company bringing manufacturing expertise while NAMTECH supports curriculum and faculty work.

The correct answer is the local language as well as English. The Rules require a clinical establishment to put up its rates at a conspicuous place in both, so that patients and the people accompanying them can read the charges without having to ask. Option A would leave out those who do not read English, which defeats the purpose of the provision. Option B is wrong because the requirement is for the local language, which need not be Hindi and will differ from state to state. Option D is not the test laid down: the Rules do not leave the choice of a single language to the establishment. The purpose behind the bilingual requirement is to let patients estimate the likely cost of treatment, plan their spending and avoid disputes over billing.

The correct answer is six, one Member of Parliament and five MLAs. The ministry recorded the presence of exactly six elected representatives at the programmes, and gave their break-up as a single Member of Parliament together with five Members of Legislative Assemblies. Option A drops the Member of Parliament and reduces the count, so it fails on both the total and the composition. Option C and option D raise the total and alter the mix, and option D in particular reverses the balance by putting as many parliamentarians as legislators, which the report does not support. The break-up is the sort of detail that distinguishes a careful reading from a casual one, so it is worth tying to the other numbers of the day: one thousand four hundred and sixty-nine locations, thirty-four States, over three point six five lakh participants, four thousand five hundred and fifty-two activities and four thousand five hundred and sixty-eight slogans.

The correct answer is 500 crore rupees. The Union Cabinet has approved setting up the Integrated Transport and Logistics Authority, which will take a long-term view of transport planning. It will prepare a National Transport Master Plan with a horizon of ten years or more, assess sectoral and annual transport plans, appraise projects costing 500 crore rupees or more, and monitor their implementation. The other three thresholds are plausible figures for project appraisal but none of them is the limit set for this authority. The authority will also build a National Transport Data Repository by pulling together information from sources such as FASTag, Vahan and GSTN e-way bills, which gives planners a single view of how goods and people actually move across the country.

The correct answer is nine. The partnership covers a cluster of five Government ITIs in Surat in Gujarat and a cluster of four Government ITIs in Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, which adds up to nine institutes in two states. Option A, five, is only the Surat cluster, so it leaves out Andhra Pradesh altogether. Option B does not match either cluster or their sum. Option D, fourteen, is drawn from a different count in the announcement, namely the first 14 Strategic Investment Plans approved under the scheme, which together carry a proposed investment of 3,446 crore rupees. The approved investment for these nine institutes is about 440 crore rupees, split as 240 crore rupees for Surat and 200 crore rupees for Visakhapatnam.

The correct answer is foreign patients arriving on Medical and Ayush Visas. The Union Health Secretary's letter asks states and union territories to encourage the prominent display, wherever applicable, of the package rates offered to international patients travelling to India on these visas. The reasoning is that clear pricing lets such patients choose with full information, reduces grievances about pricing and billing, and strengthens India's position as a trusted destination for medical and Ayush care. Options A, C and D describe categories of patients who would of course benefit from transparent rates in general, but none of them is the group singled out in the letter for package rate display. The broader direction remains that every clinical establishment should show its rates where patients can easily see them.

The correct answer is 23,493. That is the number of data layers on the common Geographic Information System platform as of 12 October 2026, covering infrastructure assets and other information that planners need when they fix an alignment or test a site. Option A is close to the count of projects the Network Planning Group has appraised, which is 396, and is offered here as a trap built from that figure. Option B is simply a plausible intermediate number with no basis in the plan. Option D is built out of the 58 ministries and departments the plan covers and is far above the actual layer count. Separately, the public platform carries 230 approved datasets, and private users have had access through a query-based mechanism since October 2025.
