Along with the Department of Telecommunications, which international organisation runs the Robotics for Good Youth Challenge India?

  1. A.UNESCO
  2. B.International Telecommunication Union
  3. C.World Intellectual Property Organization
  4. D.United Nations Industrial Development Organization

Correct answer

B. International Telecommunication Union

Explanation

The correct answer is the International Telecommunication Union. The Challenge is organised by the ITU together with the Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Communications, with support from the I-Hub Foundation for Cobotics, the Technology Innovation Hub of IIT Delhi, and it is a flagship initiative under ITU’s AI for Good programme. Options A, C and D are wrong because UNESCO, the World Intellectual Property Organization and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization have no role in this contest. The ITU link also explains the event calendar: the first Indian edition was held in 2024 during the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly hosted by India, and later editions were held at India Mobile Congress 2025 and 2026. The welcome address at the award ceremony was given by Dr Bilel Jamoussi of ITU’s Telecommunication Standardization Bureau.

Q1.Awards & HonoursEasy

Which team won the Junior Category of the Robotics for Good Youth Challenge India 2026?

  1. A.Team Mech Minds
  2. B.Team Singularity
  3. C.Team Botics Alpha
  4. D.Team Vajra
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Team Singularity

Explanation

The correct answer is Team Singularity. The Junior Category of the Robotics for Good Youth Challenge India 2026 was won by Team Singularity of Gopalan International School, Karnataka. Option A, Team Mech Minds of Lions Calcutta Greater Vidya Mandir, West Bengal, is wrong because that team finished first runner-up in the Senior Category and not in the Junior one. Option C, Team Botics Alpha of Vidya Pratishthan’s Magarpatta City Public School, Maharashtra, is wrong for the same reason, as it took the second runner-up place in the Senior Category. Option D, Team Vajra of IgnAlte Robotics LLP, Uttar Pradesh, did compete in the Junior Category but finished second runner-up there, behind Team Veda Velocity of MSB Education Institute, Pune. The Senior Category title went to Team Ferrum Incubators of Cambridge School, Noida. Both champions will represent India at the Grand Finale at Geneva in June 2027.

Q2.Awards & HonoursEasy

Where will the winning teams represent India at the Grand Finale of the Robotics for Good Youth Challenge?

  1. A.Dubai, United Arab Emirates
  2. B.Geneva, Switzerland
  3. C.Singapore
  4. D.Nairobi, Kenya
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Geneva, Switzerland

Explanation

The correct answer is Geneva, Switzerland. The winners of the Junior and Senior categories of the India Nationals will represent the country at the Grand Finale to be held at Geneva during the AI for Good Global Summit in June 2027, where teams from participating countries will compete. Options A, C and D name Dubai, Singapore and Nairobi, none of which is linked to the finale; the only overseas venue named is Geneva. The India round itself was staged on 10 October 2026 at Yashobhoomi in New Delhi, on the sidelines of India Mobile Congress 2026, so New Delhi is the venue of the national stage and not of the global one. Team Ferrum Incubators of Cambridge School, Noida, and Team Singularity of Gopalan International School, Karnataka, are the two teams that earned the trip.

Q3.Awards & HonoursMedium

The 2026 mission of the Robotics for Good Youth Challenge India was linked to which Sustainable Development Goal?

  1. A.SDG 3 — Good Health and Well-being
  2. B.SDG 4 — Quality Education
  3. C.SDG 9 — Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
  4. D.SDG 13 — Climate Action
Show answer
Correct answer: A. SDG 3 — Good Health and Well-being

Explanation

The correct answer is SDG 3, Good Health and Well-being. The mission set for this edition was public health emergency response, and it was tied to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal on good health and well-being. Students aged 10 to 18 designed robots that had to lift and deliver samples, build a quarantine zone, distribute medical kits and carry out medical triage on the game board, all tasks drawn from a health emergency. Option B on quality education, option C on industry, innovation and infrastructure and option D on climate action are wrong because none of them was named as the mission theme, even though the contest does promote learning and innovation. The health framing is the examinable fact, along with the tasks the robots had to complete.

Q4.Awards & HonoursMedium

A monograph released at the 65th National Exhibition of Art was on which modern Indian painter?

  1. A.Abdul Aziz Raiba
  2. B.Sudarshan Patnaik
  3. C.Sudhakar Olwe
  4. D.Ram Gopal Khadilkar
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Abdul Aziz Raiba

Explanation

The correct answer is Abdul Aziz Raiba. A monograph on this eminent modern Indian painter, known for his bold lines, vibrant colours and a distinctive fusion of traditional Indian and modern art, was released at the exhibition. Option B, Sudarshan Patnaik, is a Padma Shri awardee celebrated for sand art and was present on the occasion, but the monograph was not about him, so he is wrong. Option C, Sudhakar Olwe, is a Padma Shri awardee known for photography who also attended, which again does not make him the subject of the publication. Option D, Ram Gopal Khadilkar, is the editor of the monograph rather than the artist it is about, so this is the classic trap of confusing the editor with the subject. Aspirants should note both names and their different roles.

Q5.Awards & HonoursEasy

Which organisation holds the National Exhibition of Art, whose 65th edition was held in New Delhi?

  1. A.Sangeet Natak Akademi
  2. B.Sahitya Akademi
  3. C.Lalit Kala Akademi
  4. D.National Gallery of Modern Art
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Lalit Kala Akademi

Explanation

The correct answer is the Lalit Kala Akademi, India's national academy of fine arts, which works under the Ministry of Culture and organises the National Exhibition of Art. At the sixty fifth edition the Union Minister of Culture and Tourism, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, was the Chief Guest and felicitated twenty award-winning artists. Option A, the Sangeet Natak Akademi, is the national academy for music, dance and drama, not for the visual arts, so it is wrong. Option B, the Sahitya Akademi, is the national academy of letters and deals with literature, which rules it out. Option D, the National Gallery of Modern Art, is a museum that displays modern and contemporary art but does not organise this exhibition, so it is incorrect too. Aspirants should keep the three national akademies and their fields clearly separated.
