How many Swachhta Veers were felicitated by the Defence Secretary at the inauguration?
- A.Five
- B.Six
- C.Eight
- D.Ten
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is eight. At the opening of the GYANDEEP library the Defence Secretary felicitated eight Swachhta Veers, or cleanliness champions, in recognition of their special contribution during the ongoing campaign. Options A, B and D give numbers that are close enough to be plausible but are not the figure reported. Questions of this kind reward attention to small numbers in a release, so it helps to read them together with the larger figures of the same campaign: the roughly 35,000 square feet freed in South Block, the 1,361 e-files closed, the 1,746 physical files weeded out and the Rs 4.22 lakh earned from disposal. Note also that Special Campaign 6 runs in the Ministry of Defence from 2 to 31 October 2026.
