From which state were the Vanitham She-Mart Shops launched in September 2026?
- A.Tamil Nadu
- B.Karnataka
- C.Keralam
- D.Andhra Pradesh
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Keralam. The Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation launched the Vanitham She-Mart Shops at the Pavithram Convention Centre in Kollam on 26 September 2026, and said it was satisfying that the initiative was beginning from a state with more than 23,000 working cooperative institutions and a movement that has been organised since before Independence. Options A and B, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, are wrong as the answer to this question although they are part of the story, because the more than 300 She-Mart stores planned will be spread across Keralam, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka; the launch itself was in Keralam. Option D, Andhra Pradesh, does not figure in the plan at all. Aspirants should remember the launch state and the three states of the rollout separately.
