PM Modi Opens 10th India Mobile Congress at Yashobhoomi

The correct answer is the 10th edition. The India Mobile Congress completed ten years with this edition, which the Prime Minister opened at Yashobhoomi in New Delhi on 8 October 2026, and he described the tenth anniversary of the platform as running in parallel with the hosting of a GSMA Board meeting in the country. Option A, the 8th edition, is wrong because that edition belongs to an earlier year of the series; the Prime Minister used this stage to trace a decade of change rather than eight years. Option B, the 9th edition, is wrong for the same reason, being the edition held before this one. Option D, the 12th edition, is wrong because the series has not yet reached twelve; the tenth is the one just held. A useful anchor for exams is that 5G was launched from this very platform in 2022, and the Prime Minister recalled that journey while opening the tenth edition.

The correct answer is Yashobhoomi, New Delhi. The tenth edition of the India Mobile Congress was inaugurated there by the Prime Minister, before an audience of telecom operators, industry leaders, academics and startups from India and abroad. Option A, Bharat Mandapam, is wrong here; it is a convention venue in the capital that has hosted other national events, but the mobile congress of this year was not held there. Option C, Pragati Maidan, is wrong for the same reason, although it is the older exhibition complex in Delhi and a tempting distractor. Option D, Vigyan Bhawan, is wrong because it is a conference facility used for smaller official meetings rather than a technology exhibition of this scale. For revision, pair the venue with the theme of the edition, Scale Without Boundaries, and with the city, New Delhi.

The correct answer is Scale Without Boundaries. The Prime Minister took up the theme directly and told delegates that India's own experience shows what scaling without limits means in practice, citing 5G reaching every district from over 5.5 lakh base stations and the spread of affordable data and devices. Option B, Digital India, Digital World, is wrong; Digital India is the campaign the Prime Minister referred to as the frame for placing the mobile phone at the centre of governance, but it was not the theme of this edition. Option C, Future is Now, is wrong because no such theme was adopted for the congress. Option D, Connecting the Unconnected, is wrong as well, though it sounds plausible since the address dealt with closing the digital divide. In an exam, the theme, the edition number and the venue are the three facts most likely to be asked together.

The correct answer is over 4 lakh crore rupees. While explaining how mobile-based governance plugged leakages, the Prime Minister said that money sent to beneficiaries now reaches the right person, and he singled out the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi as having placed more than four lakh crore rupees with small and marginal farmers who earlier saw little of such assistance. Options A and B understate the figure and are therefore wrong; they are the kind of round numbers a candidate may half remember from earlier years of the scheme. Option D overstates it and is wrong, though it may be confused with the much larger total of direct transfers across all schemes, which the Prime Minister put at over fifty lakh crore rupees with about five lakh crore rupees of leakage prevented. Keeping the scheme figure and the overall transfer figure apart is the key to this question.
