In which city does the Sadhana Shrinkhla 2026 regional workshop series begin on 29-30 September 2026?
- A.Guwahati
- B.Lucknow
- C.Vijayawada
- D.Pune
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh, which hosts the Southern Region workshop on 29-30 September 2026 and opens the series. The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, N. Chandrababu Naidu, graces the inaugural event in the presence of the Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Dr Jitendra Singh, and officials and training institutes from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry take part. Guwahati is wrong as the first venue; the Northeastern Region workshop is held there on 9-10 October 2026. Lucknow is wrong because the Northern Region round comes later, on 23-24 October 2026. Pune is wrong as well, since the Western Region workshop is planned for 16-17 November 2026 and is still to be confirmed. Each of the four workshops runs for a day and a half and is graced by the Chief Minister of the host state.
