In the tribute to Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan, his fearless voice was especially recalled from which period?

The correct answer is Jayaprakash Narayan. The Prime Minister Office tribute issued on his birth anniversary refers to him throughout as Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan, and in short as Loknayak JP, the word meaning leader of the people. The tribute says his appeal travelled across generations and that he persuaded people to see public life as a means of national renewal. Option B, Ram Manohar Lohia, is wrong because, although he too belonged to the socialist stream of Indian politics, the title in question and the anniversary being marked here are not his. Option C, Acharya Narendra Deva, is wrong for the same reason. Option D, Morarji Desai, is wrong because he is remembered in other terms and is not the leader named in this tribute. Candidates should attach the title Loknayak firmly to Jayaprakash Narayan, since it is asked in exactly this form.

The correct answer is Nanaji Deshmukh. The Prime Minister paid homage to him on his birth anniversary, which falls on the same date as that of Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan, and described him as an outstanding nation-builder who showed in thought and in action that genuine change starts at the grassroots. The tribute says his life brought political conviction together with constructive social work and that he devoted himself to rural development and to community participation, with a vision of a strong and self-reliant India. Option A, Vinoba Bhave, is wrong because, though associated with rural causes, he is not the leader remembered in this tribute. Option C, Jagjivan Ram, is wrong because his anniversary and his fields of work are different. Option D is wrong for the same reason, as no such name appears here.

The correct answer is MANN Jaagriti. It is a structured community engagement initiative meant to strengthen mental health literacy, cut the stigma attached to mental illness and prompt people to seek help early rather than late. Instead of relying on single-day events, it works through schools, colleges, workplaces, health facilities and other community spaces, and draws in healthcare workers, teachers, youth, families, caregivers, civil society bodies and people who have themselves lived with mental health conditions. Options B, C and D are invented names and do not correspond to any programme announced with the observance. Remember the pairing for the examination: Tele-MANAS is the telephone counselling service, while MANN Jaagriti is the awareness and community engagement arm.

The initiative also seeks to move beyond one-time activities, so that states and union territories hold locally relevant conversations through the year and spread word about the services already available, Tele-MANAS among them.

The correct answer is 14416. Tele-MANAS, which stands for Tele Mental Health Assistance and Networking Across States, offers free and confidential counselling on this number at any hour of the day, in several languages, without the caller having to reach a hospital. Options B, C and D are wrong because they are not the number for this service; they are the kind of close variants an examiner uses to test careful reading. Candidates should store the helpline alongside the other figures released for World Mental Health Day: the service began on 10 October 2022, it had taken 47,75,644 calls by October 2026, and it works through 53 cells covering all 36 states and union territories of the country. The service is especially valuable in rural and remote areas where specialists are hard to reach.

The correct answer is A. The day falls on 10 October every year, and the theme for the 2026 observance asks that the voices of those who have lived with mental health conditions be heard and allowed to shape policy and services. Option B pairs the right date with a theme of an earlier year, so it is wrong. Option C carries the right theme but the wrong date, since 7 April is observed as World Health Day. Option D is wrong on both counts, as 2 October is marked for other reasons in India. A useful link for revision: the launch date of Tele-MANAS, which also falls on 10 October, in the year 2022, so the service was started on a World Mental Health Day.
