At which venue was the India Mobile Congress 2026 inaugurated?

The correct answer is the 10th edition. The India Mobile Congress completed ten years with this edition, which the Prime Minister opened at Yashobhoomi in New Delhi on 8 October 2026, and he described the tenth anniversary of the platform as running in parallel with the hosting of a GSMA Board meeting in the country. Option A, the 8th edition, is wrong because that edition belongs to an earlier year of the series; the Prime Minister used this stage to trace a decade of change rather than eight years. Option B, the 9th edition, is wrong for the same reason, being the edition held before this one. Option D, the 12th edition, is wrong because the series has not yet reached twelve; the tenth is the one just held. A useful anchor for exams is that 5G was launched from this very platform in 2022, and the Prime Minister recalled that journey while opening the tenth edition.

The correct answer is Scale Without Boundaries. The Prime Minister took up the theme directly and told delegates that India's own experience shows what scaling without limits means in practice, citing 5G reaching every district from over 5.5 lakh base stations and the spread of affordable data and devices. Option B, Digital India, Digital World, is wrong; Digital India is the campaign the Prime Minister referred to as the frame for placing the mobile phone at the centre of governance, but it was not the theme of this edition. Option C, Future is Now, is wrong because no such theme was adopted for the congress. Option D, Connecting the Unconnected, is wrong as well, though it sounds plausible since the address dealt with closing the digital divide. In an exam, the theme, the edition number and the venue are the three facts most likely to be asked together.

The correct answer is over 4 lakh crore rupees. While explaining how mobile-based governance plugged leakages, the Prime Minister said that money sent to beneficiaries now reaches the right person, and he singled out the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi as having placed more than four lakh crore rupees with small and marginal farmers who earlier saw little of such assistance. Options A and B understate the figure and are therefore wrong; they are the kind of round numbers a candidate may half remember from earlier years of the scheme. Option D overstates it and is wrong, though it may be confused with the much larger total of direct transfers across all schemes, which the Prime Minister put at over fifty lakh crore rupees with about five lakh crore rupees of leakage prevented. Keeping the scheme figure and the overall transfer figure apart is the key to this question.

The correct answer is non-geosynchronous satellite orbit. The Ministry of Communications said the telecom licences for Global Mobile Personal Communication by Satellite services were granted for satellite communications based on non-geosynchronous satellite orbit. Satellites in such orbits do not remain above a fixed point on the earth, so a constellation of them is used, with one spacecraft handing a user over to the next as they pass overhead. Option A is wrong because the statement does not describe these licensed services as geostationary; a geostationary satellite appears fixed over one spot above the equator, which is the opposite of what non-geosynchronous means. Option C is wrong because a lunar transfer orbit is used to send spacecraft towards the Moon and has nothing to do with providing telecom services to users in India. Option D is wrong because a geosynchronous transfer orbit is only a temporary path used to raise a satellite towards a geosynchronous slot, not the operating orbit named for these licensed satellite communication services.

The correct answer is demonstrate compliance with the security conditions of its licence. The Ministry of Communications explained that every satellite communication licensee is required under the terms and conditions of its licence to show that it meets the security conditions, the purpose being to ensure that the services provided satisfy security requirements and keep all users and their data safe. This security assessment is in progress for each of the licensed operators, and a company may proceed to the next step of seeking assignment of spectrum only when the process is completed in its case. Option A is wrong because a stock exchange listing is nowhere a condition for spectrum in this framework. Option C is wrong because the authorisation concerns providing services in India, not where the satellites are launched from; the licensees use non-geosynchronous orbit constellations. Option D is wrong because no subscriber threshold is prescribed before spectrum assignment; the gate is the security assessment, not commercial scale.
