President's Colour Presented to Goa Police by Amit Shah in Panaji

The correct answer is Goa Police. The Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation presented the President's Colour to this force at Panaji, the capital of Goa, saying that after eight decades of distinguished service it now stands alongside the other police forces of the country that carry this honour. The other options name police forces of neighbouring or nearby States that did not receive it on this occasion, and a candidate who remembers only the western coast rather than the exact State will fall for one of them. Remember what the honour signifies: it is given for a glorious history, professional excellence, courage, discipline and dedication, and the Home Minister linked it with the three duties of the Goa Police, a safe city, a safe community and a secure maritime border. He also paid homage to four personnel who died in the line of duty.

The correct answer is 1930, the helpline against cyber fraud. The Home Minister said this number will become a strong shield against every kind of cyber fraud, and that the Goa Police has moved ahead of other States by putting an AI-based call agent on it. The agent takes complaints in Konkani, Marathi and Hindi, and on the Chief Minister's initiative in every language listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution, which matters in a State that receives tourists from across the country and the world. Option B names 112, which also appears in the speech but as the emergency response helpline, where the response time has been cut from 18 minutes to 8 minutes with prompt help given on nearly 20,000 calls. Options A and D name older police and child helplines that this release does not discuss. Keep the pair apart: 112 for emergency, 1930 for cyber fraud.

The correct answer is from 23 per cent to 53 per cent, an improvement of 30 percentage points in a single year, so that convictions are now secured in 53 per cent of the FIRs registered. Every option keeps the same gap of 30 points, which is deliberate, because a candidate who has remembered only the size of the improvement and not the two end points will have no way to choose. The figure of 18 in option A is borrowed from another part of the same speech, where the response time under helpline 112 fell from 18 minutes to 8 minutes. Alongside the conviction rate the Home Minister cited the implementation of the three new Nyaya Sanhitas, where the Goa Police stood first in the country for several months and now ranks second with 93.38 per cent progress, performing well on all nine parameters.

The correct answer is 2026 to 2029. The Home Minister said the Ministry of Home Affairs has decided to run a strengthened campaign against narcotics and has prepared a roadmap for this period, under which every village and every city in the country is to be freed of narcotics with the participation of all concerned departments and all State governments. He expressed the hope that the Goa Police would emerge as a leading force in this work as well. The other options shift the window by a year or two in either direction, which is the usual way a period question is set. One more date from the same speech shares its closing year and is worth remembering with it: the International Police Sports Championship is to be held in India in 2029, and the Home Minister asked the Goa Police to prepare for it from now.
