Robotics for Good India 2026: Singularity, Ferrum Incubators Win

The correct answer is Team Singularity. The Junior Category of the Robotics for Good Youth Challenge India 2026 was won by Team Singularity of Gopalan International School, Karnataka. Option A, Team Mech Minds of Lions Calcutta Greater Vidya Mandir, West Bengal, is wrong because that team finished first runner-up in the Senior Category and not in the Junior one. Option C, Team Botics Alpha of Vidya Pratishthan’s Magarpatta City Public School, Maharashtra, is wrong for the same reason, as it took the second runner-up place in the Senior Category. Option D, Team Vajra of IgnAlte Robotics LLP, Uttar Pradesh, did compete in the Junior Category but finished second runner-up there, behind Team Veda Velocity of MSB Education Institute, Pune. The Senior Category title went to Team Ferrum Incubators of Cambridge School, Noida. Both champions will represent India at the Grand Finale at Geneva in June 2027.

The correct answer is Geneva, Switzerland. The winners of the Junior and Senior categories of the India Nationals will represent the country at the Grand Finale to be held at Geneva during the AI for Good Global Summit in June 2027, where teams from participating countries will compete. Options A, C and D name Dubai, Singapore and Nairobi, none of which is linked to the finale; the only overseas venue named is Geneva. The India round itself was staged on 10 October 2026 at Yashobhoomi in New Delhi, on the sidelines of India Mobile Congress 2026, so New Delhi is the venue of the national stage and not of the global one. Team Ferrum Incubators of Cambridge School, Noida, and Team Singularity of Gopalan International School, Karnataka, are the two teams that earned the trip.

The correct answer is the International Telecommunication Union. The Challenge is organised by the ITU together with the Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Communications, with support from the I-Hub Foundation for Cobotics, the Technology Innovation Hub of IIT Delhi, and it is a flagship initiative under ITU’s AI for Good programme. Options A, C and D are wrong because UNESCO, the World Intellectual Property Organization and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization have no role in this contest. The ITU link also explains the event calendar: the first Indian edition was held in 2024 during the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly hosted by India, and later editions were held at India Mobile Congress 2025 and 2026. The welcome address at the award ceremony was given by Dr Bilel Jamoussi of ITU’s Telecommunication Standardization Bureau.

The correct answer is SDG 3, Good Health and Well-being. The mission set for this edition was public health emergency response, and it was tied to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal on good health and well-being. Students aged 10 to 18 designed robots that had to lift and deliver samples, build a quarantine zone, distribute medical kits and carry out medical triage on the game board, all tasks drawn from a health emergency. Option B on quality education, option C on industry, innovation and infrastructure and option D on climate action are wrong because none of them was named as the mission theme, even though the contest does promote learning and innovation. The health framing is the examinable fact, along with the tasks the robots had to complete.
