How many medals did India win at the Asian Para Games 2026, as cited by the Union Sports Minister?
- A.104
- B.111
- C.114
- D.121
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 114 medals, which the Minister described as a record and the highest Indian tally ever at those Games, saying the para-athletes had scripted history. Options A, B and D are wrong because they change the number that was placed on record for the event; only one of the four matches what the Minister said about the para contingent. In the same remarks he noted that at the Asian Games 2026 Indian athletes had delivered one of their best performances and finished fourth in the final medal tally, and he credited programmes such as Khelo India, Fit India and the Target Olympic Podium Scheme with strengthening the sporting ecosystem. He tied these results to the preparation for the Commonwealth Games of 2030 at home and the ambition of hosting the Olympic Games in 2036.
