According to the Vice-President, how many new AIIMS have been established, against how many earlier?

  1. A.Eight new AIIMS, against two earlier
  2. B.Fifteen new AIIMS, against three earlier
  3. C.Twelve new AIIMS, against one earlier in New Delhi
  4. D.Twenty new AIIMS, against five earlier

Correct answer

C. Twelve new AIIMS, against one earlier in New Delhi

Explanation

The correct answer is twelve new AIIMS, against one earlier in New Delhi. While describing how medical education has widened over the previous twelve years, the Vice-President recalled that the country once had a single AIIMS, located in New Delhi, and said that twelve new institutions of that kind have since been set up. He used the point to argue that access to higher education lies at the core of the Viksit Bharat @ 2047 vision articulated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a goal he said can be met only when every State, district and village develops. Options A, B and D are wrong because none of those pairings matches the comparison he drew between the position earlier and the position now. For revision, tie this fact to the same speech in which he asked graduates to carry knowledge in the mind, compassion in the heart and integrity in conduct.
