PM Modi Meets GSMA Board at Seva Teerth Before IMC 2026

The correct answer is Seva Teerth. The Prime Minister held the interaction with Board members of the Global System for Mobile Communications Association at Seva Teerth, ahead of India Mobile Congress. The Union Minister for Communications and Development of the North Eastern Region and the Minister of State for Communications and Rural Development were present, along with senior officials of the Government of India. Option A, Bharat Mandapam, is the convention centre in the capital that has hosted several large summits and exhibitions, but it was not the venue for this interaction. Option C, Hyderabad House, is the venue normally used for bilateral talks and banquets with visiting heads of state and government. Option D, Pragati Maidan, is the exhibition complex in which Bharat Mandapam stands. Only Seva Teerth is named as the venue.

The correct answer is the 10th edition. The interaction with the GSMA Board came as India prepared to host the tenth edition of India Mobile Congress in New Delhi, an event that gathers global technology and telecom leaders. The other options name editions that have either already passed or are still in the future, and none of them matches the edition described. The occasion matters for the exam because the number of the edition, the host city and the organising body are the details most often asked. Around the same engagement, GSMA Board members praised the spread of mobile connectivity in India, the scale of Digital Public Infrastructure and the growth of the telecom and mobile manufacturing ecosystem, and flagged cooperation in areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and satellite connectivity.

The correct answer is Jyotiraditya Scindia, the Union Minister for Communications and Development of the North Eastern Region, who attended the interaction along with the Minister of State for Communications and Rural Development, Dr Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar, and senior officials of the Government of India. He has been leading India engagement with the global telecom ecosystem on next-generation connectivity, and at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona he addressed the GSMA Ministerial Programme on making connectivity more affordable, inclusive and future-ready. Options B, C and D name Union Ministers who hold other portfolios and who are not described as taking part in this interaction. For the examination, pair the portfolio with the person: Communications and the Development of the North Eastern Region are held together here, and the Minister of State is Dr Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar.
