Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Awards 2024 Announced

The correct answer is Rs 15 lakh. The release states that every awardee receives three things: a statuette, a certificate and award money of Rs 15 lakh. Candidates should remember all three, because questions are sometimes framed around what a winner gets rather than how much. Options A, B and D are round figures that do not appear in the release and are offered only because prize amounts of this kind are commonly set at five, ten or twenty-five lakh rupees. The award for the year 2024 went to four people, so the total money involved comes to sixty lakh rupees. The President of India will confer the awards at Rashtrapati Bhavan along with the National Sports Awards for 2025, on a date that the Ministry said will be announced separately.

The correct answer is Polar Adventure. The award has exactly four categories and that is not one of them. Three of the four are defined by where the feat takes place, namely Land Adventure, Water Adventure and Air Adventure, and the fourth is Lifetime Achievement, which recognises a career rather than a single exploit. For the year 2024, two awards were given in Land Adventure, to Baljeet Kaur and Skalzang Rigzin, one in Water Adventure, to Rimo Saha, and one for Lifetime Achievement, to Shiv Prasad Chamoli. Note that no name was approved in the Air Adventure category this time, which is a detail worth holding on to, because a question may ask which category went unawarded. Options A, B and C are all genuine categories of the award.

The correct answer is Lifetime Achievement. The list approved by the Government places Shiv Prasad Chamoli in that category, which honours a sustained record in adventure rather than one outstanding feat. Option A is wrong because the two Land Adventure awards went to Baljeet Kaur and Skalzang Rigzin. Option B is wrong because the Water Adventure award went to Rimo Saha. Option D is wrong because no awardee was approved under Air Adventure for this year, even though the category exists. The cleanest way to remember the list is by counting: four awardees in all, two for land, one for water, one for lifetime achievement and none for air. All four will be honoured by the President of India at Rashtrapati Bhavan alongside the National Sports Awards 2025.

The correct answer is the National Sports Awards 2025. The release says the adventure awards will be conferred by the President of India at Rashtrapati Bhavan along with those sports awards, and that the date of the ceremony will be announced separately. Both sets of honours come from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, which is why they are presented at one ceremony. Option B refers to civilian honours announced each Republic Day and conferred at a separate investiture. Option C is a literary award given by a private trust and has no connection with this ministry. Option D is an award for children who show exceptional courage and is not mentioned in the release. Candidates should also note the mismatch of years, adventure awards for 2024 being given with sports awards for 2025.
