ICAR-CIRB, which organised a Swachhata Samvad in September 2026, conducts research on which animal, and where is it located?
- A.Goats, at Makhdoom
- B.Buffaloes, at Hisar
- C.Camels, at Bikaner
- D.Poultry, at Hyderabad
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is buffaloes, at Hisar. The abbreviation expands to the Indian Council of Agricultural Research - Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes, and the institute works under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. It was this institute that held the Swachhata Samvad for its contractual staff and Young Professionals as part of the campaign's Day-VIII action plan. Option A names an institute devoted to goat research at a different station, option C a body working on camels, and option D one working on poultry; all three are of the same family of council institutes, which is precisely why they make good distractors. For examinations it helps to remember the animal, the station and the parent ministry as a single unit, because questions on such institutes usually ask for the pairing of a research subject with its headquarters.
