NDA GK Questions 2026

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited operates from several locations across the country, which is exactly why a question of this kind works as a test: the candidate has to recall the specific venue rather than a general association.

The ceremony had two recipients, and separating them is the whole point of the question. Military trainers, the Tejas twin-seaters and the HTT 40s, went to the Indian Air Force.

At the Bengaluru ceremony the Air Force received five aircraft in total, and the split is what the question turns on: two Tejas twin-seat trainers at Final Operational Clearance standard, plus three HTT 40 basic trainers.

The release states that the five-day programme brought together senior officers from the three Services along with officials from the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Home Affairs, for deliberations on contemporary and emerging national security challenges.

According to the Ministry of Defence, the Combined Operational Review and Evaluation Programme 2026 was organised by Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff and conducted by CENJOWS, concluding at the Manekshaw Centre in New Delhi.

The correct answer is Paramesh Sivamani, who heads the Indian Coast Guard as its Director General and discussed national and maritime security issues with the minister and the commanders.

The Raksha Rajya Mantri invoked this vision while stressing that India's maritime capabilities must be strengthened across the whole spectrum, from the littoral and green waters to the open and blue waters.

The three-day conference opened in the national capital, and on the first day the Raksha Rajya Mantri interacted with the Director General of the Indian Coast Guard and the assembled commanders on national and maritime security.

The Parang La Pass, standing at 5,578 metres, links the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh with the Changthang region of Ladakh, and the trek accordingly ran from Kibber in Himachal Pradesh to Karzok in Ladakh.

The correct answer is Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh, who flagged the trek off from New Delhi on 18 August 2026.

The team of 20 NCC girl cadets crossed the Parang La Pass at this height during the All India Girls High Altitude Long Trek.

That is the aim the release sets out, and it explains why one leg of the drill is held in the hills at Auli.

The correct answer is the Auli Foreign Training Node in Uttarakhand, where the opening ceremony of this edition was conducted.

The release on the opening ceremony states plainly that the contingents addressed by the two commanders were made up of that number of troops from each army, so the Indian side and the American side are equally represented.

In the harbour phase the personnel of the two navies held professional exchanges and interactions, which let them share experience and build mutual understanding.

The ship was deployed as part of the Indian Navy's operational deployment and took part in the fourth edition of the exercise at Lumut in Malaysia.

Exercise Samudra Laksamana is conducted between the Indian Navy and the Royal Malaysian Navy, and its fourth edition was held at Lumut in Malaysia from 9 to 12 September 2026 with INS Mysore taking part as part of an operational deployment.

The officer holding that post is Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit, and he both opened the event and put out the roadmap, which is meant to give Indian industry a clearer view of the capability priorities of the Air Force.

Vayu UTtaM is described as an indigenously developed multi mode system, and during its real time demonstration at the Pokhran range it detected and tracked both military and civil unmanned aircraft.

The Vice Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit, opened the first edition of Dronathon there, and the same range hosted the live demonstration of the indigenous traffic management system Vayu UTtaM on the opening day.
