How many research papers did the five research councils under the Ministry of Ayush publish in the financial year 2025-26?
- A.356
- B.463
- C.653
- D.915
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 653. The Ministry of Ayush has stated that the five research councils working under it together published 653 research papers during the financial year 2025-26, and that the Central Council for Research in Yoga and Naturopathy was among those bringing out papers in peer-reviewed journals in that period. Options A, B and D are wrong because none of those counts appears in the announcement; they are only near neighbours of the real figure, of the kind a paper setter places beside it to test whether the number has been learnt exactly. Candidates should pair the publication count with the other institutional numbers quoted on the same occasion, namely the 22 units that the Council runs across India in research, education and outreach, and the 200-bed Yoga and Naturopathy hospitals working at Jhajjar in Haryana and at Nagamangala in Karnataka.
