Reform Utsav 2026: CCI Cotton Reforms Showcase in Hyderabad

The correct answer is Hyderabad. The Ministry of Textiles is holding the special showcase of cotton sector reforms at Hyderabad in Telangana on 6 October 2026, and the event is run by the Cotton Corporation of India Ltd, a public sector undertaking of the ministry. Representatives of the Telangana government are among those invited, along with Union officers, policymakers, growers and industry associations, which is why the Telangana capital was chosen. Nagpur is wrong: although it sits in a cotton growing belt, no event there is mentioned in the announcement. Coimbatore is wrong as well; it is a textile mill centre, but it is not the venue named for this showcase. Ahmedabad is also wrong, and a student should not confuse the city with the venue of this showcase. Only Hyderabad is named, so option C is the answer.

The correct answer is Kapas Kisan. It is the platform named as a key initiative of the showcase, and it carries the stages of a cotton purchase online: enrolling the grower, booking a slot, sending messages about the purchase and making payment through Aadhaar. The aim is to cut procedural tangles and let a grower see where the sale stands. e-NAM and Kisan Suvidha are wrong because neither is named in this announcement as the platform behind cotton procurement reform. Kasturi Cotton Bharat is a distractor drawn from the same announcement, but it is not a procurement platform: it is the initiative for quality, contamination control, digital traceability and premium-grade fibre, meant to raise the standing of Indian cotton in markets at home and abroad. Keep the two apart, because paper setters often swap them. Hence option A is correct.

The correct answer is 218. Mera Resham Mera Abhimaan 2.0, the second round of the Central Silk Board campaign, was designed as a structured and outcome-driven drive across 218 key sericulture districts, and those districts together account for over 95 per cent of the country's raw silk output. More than 1,700 programmes have been held under it, reaching over 73,000 growers directly and about a lakh other stakeholders through digital means. 129 is wrong because that was the spread of the first round, MRMA 1.0, a 100-day campaign begun in 2025. 26 is wrong as it is the number of states and union territories in which MRMA 1.0 worked, not a district count. 300 is not mentioned at all. So option B is the answer.

The correct answer is 2004. The Silk Mark Organisation of India has implemented the Silk Mark Scheme since that year, and the mark assures a buyer that the silk is pure. From 2022-23 the organisation began moving its work online, covering registration, renewal, document processing, pre-inspection, payment, label indenting, record keeping and grievance redress. The system now serves more than 7,000 authorised users, takes in over 500 new enrolments a year, and can clear an application within one or two working days, which has helped small and medium enterprises in particular. 1998 and 2014 are wrong because neither year appears in connection with the scheme. 2022 is a trap: 2022-23 is when digitisation started, not when the scheme began. Hence option B is correct.
