CTET Current Affairs Quiz: 10 October 2026

The correct answer is Jharkhand. Deoghar lies in the Santhal Pargana region of Jharkhand, and the Vice-President described the convocation as a celebration of that region's aspirations, speaking of what the institute means for tribal and rural communities around it. Option A, Bihar, is wrong, though it is an understandable error: Deoghar was part of undivided Bihar before Jharkhand was carved out, and the two states share the Santhal Pargana cultural region along their border. Option C, Odisha, is wrong; Odisha has its own All India Institute of Medical Sciences at Bhubaneswar. Option D, West Bengal, is wrong as well; its institute of this family is at Kalyani. A further confirmation inside the event itself is the list of those present, which included the Governor of Jharkhand, Santosh Kumar Gangwar, and the state's Minister for Health and Medical Education, Dr. Irfan Ansari.

The correct answer is 1,06,855 participants. This was the consolidated outreach of the Yuva Sanwad Mela, conducted across 200 designated institutions and the villages they have adopted. Option A, 93,662, is the number of youth participants alone; the remaining 13,193 were other citizens reached through activities in villages and slum communities, and adding the two gives the consolidated figure. That makes option A the most attractive wrong answer for anyone who remembers only the youth count. Option C mixes the digits of a different figure in the same account, the 36,086 youth engaged in dialogue sessions, and option D is simply a round number that matches nothing. Candidates should also note the split by gender within the youth count: 48,269 female participants and 45,618 male participants, which means young women outnumbered young men in this drive.

The correct answer is Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat, the initiative under which the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education runs Yuva Sangam to strengthen cultural and emotional bonds among young Indians. Option B, the Fit India Movement, belongs to the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports and promotes physical fitness rather than inter-state cultural exchange. Option C, Unnat Bharat Abhiyan, links higher educational institutions with villages for rural development work, so it is close in its use of institutions but different in purpose. Option D, Study in India, is a programme to attract foreign students to Indian institutions, which has nothing to do with exchanges between Indian states. Yuva Sangam works through paired states and their higher education institutions.

The correct answer is 132 of 173. The Vice-President pointed to this with satisfaction, saying that it showed the country moving from the empowerment of women towards development led by women, and that it showed how education allows women to realise their potential. Option A keeps the right total but halves the number of women, which would make the batch almost evenly divided and would remove the very point the Vice-President was making. Option C keeps the right number of women but inflates the size of the batch, which would reduce their share to little more than half. Option D changes both figures and matches nothing at the ceremony. In examinations a pair of figures like this is usually tested as a ratio, so it helps to hold the fact in the form of a sentence: women were a clear majority, 132 out of a batch of 173 doctors, nurses and health professionals.

The correct answer is ‘My Health, My Pride’. The first month of the 100-Week Sankalp Abhiyan ran under this theme and concluded with the nationwide Yuva Sanwad Mela on 9 October 2026, organised by MY Bharat and the National Service Scheme under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. Option A is the theme of Month 2, which will focus on physical fitness and sports and encourage young people to treat regular activity as part of preventing substance abuse; mixing up the two months is the commonest mistake in questions of this kind, so the order matters. Options C and D are plausible-sounding slogans but neither has been used for these months of the campaign. The month’s work was built on three components: youth dialogue, awareness stalls and cultural performances such as street plays and musical presentations.

The correct answer is the Central University of Karnataka, which led the Telangana delegation on this exchange. Option A, IIT Guwahati, is wrong because it was the host institution that welcomed the delegation on its arrival at Guwahati rather than the one leading it, and candidates often confuse the leading and the hosting institution. Option C, the University of Hyderabad, is a central university in Telangana and so looks a natural leader for a Telangana delegation, but it was not named for this role. Option D, Tezpur University, is a central university in Assam and belongs to the receiving side of the exchange. The programme is built on pairs of states, with institutions on both sides taking charge of the visiting group.

The correct answer is 846. Speaking about the expansion of medical education and health infrastructure, the Vice-President said the country had 387 medical colleges before 2014 and now has 846, and he presented institutions such as AIIMS Deoghar as proof of development that is balanced and inclusive. Options A, B and D — 648, 706 and 912 — are all plausible-looking figures of the same order but none of them is the one cited. The safest way to remember the fact is as a pair with its base year: 387 before 2014, and 846 now. Candidates should also link the figure to the wider claim the Vice-President made with it, namely that quality health care and higher education must reach every state, district and village if the goal of a Viksit Bharat by 2047 is to be achieved.

The correct answer is the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. Both MY Bharat and the National Service Scheme function under this ministry, and the Yuva Sanwad Mela of 9 October 2026 was organised through them across 15 NSS Regional Directorates. Option A, the Ministry of Education, is a reasonable guess because the activities were held in educational institutions, but the NSS is administered by the youth affairs ministry. Option B is tempting because the theme of the month concerned health and the subject was substance abuse, yet the campaign is a youth-led awareness drive rather than a health department programme. Option D handles social welfare subjects including de-addiction work in other schemes, but not this campaign. Remember the chain for the exam: Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, then MY Bharat and NSS, then the Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan and its 100-Week Sankalp Abhiyan.

The correct answer is Shri Lakshman Prasad Acharya, the Governor of Assam, with whom the visiting delegates interacted during their stay. The meeting gave them an account of the state's heritage, its traditions and their cultural significance, and was presented as deepening their understanding of India's diversity. Options B, C and D name other holders of high constitutional office whose names are familiar from general knowledge papers, which makes them plausible distractors in a question of this kind, but none of them is the Governor of Assam who received this delegation. Candidates preparing for state and central examinations should keep a current list of Governors, since questions pair a Governor with a state and with an event such as this exchange visit.

The correct answer is option A. The Vice-President recalled the legacy of Birsa Munda, Sidho-Kanhu and Tilka Manjhi, all of them figures of tribal resistance closely associated with the region around Deoghar, and used their memory to ask the graduates to carry their knowledge into villages, tribal communities and the remotest parts of the country. Option B names Rani Gaidinliu of the north-east along with Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem, who are remembered chiefly in the Telugu-speaking regions, so the grouping does not fit this ceremony. Option C names tribal leaders connected with central and western India, and although Budhu Bhagat belongs to the Chhotanagpur area the set as a whole was not the one cited. Option D lists further tribal leaders of the eastern belt who were likewise not named in the address. The Santhal Pargana link is the clue: Sidho and Kanhu led the Santhal uprising and Tilka Manjhi is remembered in the same region.
