PM Mementos E-Auction Extended Till 31 October 2026

The correct answer is Namami Gange. Gifts and artefacts presented to the Prime Minister are catalogued and offered for public bidding, and whatever the sale earns is placed at the service of the Namami Gange project, the programme devoted to the cleaning and conservation of the Ganga. This is stated twice in the announcement of the eighth edition, which is a sign of how central the detail is. Option B, the Swachh Bharat Mission, is a sanitation programme and is not the recipient of these proceeds. Option C is a scheme for the girl child and has no link with the auction. Option D, the Smart Cities Mission, concerns urban infrastructure and is likewise unconnected. Candidates should note the chain of facts in one line: gifts to the Prime Minister go to a public auction conducted by the Ministry of Culture, and the money raised goes to Namami Gange.

The correct answer is Delhi. The edition puts up thirty mementos chosen to show the many dimensions of the capital, and the lots bear this out: a framed artwork of St. Stephen's College, a crystal memento of the Old Secretariat building, a textile artwork of the New Parliament Building, two Delhi Metro models, a painting of Saint Dada Dev from Palam village, and a pencil portrait of the Prime Minister drawn by a student from Rohini. Options A, B and D name cities that do not figure as the theme of this edition. The surest way to answer such an item is to look at the lots themselves, since the landmarks named in them, from the Legislative Assembly to the Metro, all belong to one city. Pair the edition number with the theme while revising, because both are asked together.

The correct answer is Yogesh Kathuniya, described in the announcement as a Paralympic silver medallist whose discus is part of the collection and stands for sporting achievement and perseverance. Option A, Sumit Antil, is a Paralympic athlete of the javelin and not the owner of the discus in this auction. Option C, Devendra Jhajharia, is also a javelin thrower with a long Paralympic record, so his name is a plausible distractor, but the item named here is a discus. Option D, Neeraj Chopra, is an Olympic javelin thrower and not a Paralympic competitor at all. The detail to carry away is the pairing of the implement with the athlete: a discus, belonging to Yogesh Kathuniya, among gifts presented to the Prime Minister and now open to public bidding, with the proceeds going to the Namami Gange project.
