Along with the Atal Innovation Mission and NITI Aayog, which body collaborated with the Department of School Education and Literacy for the Viksit Bharat Buildathon?
- A.University Grants Commission
- B.All-India Council for Technical Education
- C.National Council of Educational Research and Training
- D.Central Board of Secondary Education
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the All-India Council for Technical Education, or AICTE. The Buildathon was organised by the Department of School Education and Literacy in collaboration with the Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog and AICTE, whose chairman Prof. T. G. Sitharam is among those attending the felicitation ceremony. Option A is wrong because the University Grants Commission has no stated role in this competition. Option C is wrong because the National Council of Educational Research and Training is not named as a partner either, although it works on school curriculum matters. Option D is wrong for the same reason: the Central Board of Secondary Education is a school examination board and does not appear among the collaborating bodies. For revision, link the three partner names to the organising department, and recall that the Atal Innovation Mission itself sits under NITI Aayog, which is why both are listed together in the announcement.
