In which city is the Shilp Samagam Mela 2026 visited by the Union Social Justice and Empowerment Secretary being held?
- A.Mysuru, Karnataka
- B.Guwahati, Assam
- C.Jodhpur, Rajasthan
- D.Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Mysuru, Karnataka. The nine-day Shilp Samagam Mela 2026 is laid out at the Mysuru Dasara Exhibition Grounds, and the Union Secretary of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Sudhansh Pant, went round its stalls during a two-day official visit to the city. The fair opened on 11 October and closes on 19 October, and it is the first Shilp Samagam Mela of the financial year 2026-27.
Guwahati is wrong because the fair there has not begun: it is the next edition on the Ministry calendar, proposed from 21 to 28 October 2026. Jodhpur and Lucknow are wrong for the same reason, as fairs at both places, and at Dilli Haat in New Delhi, are only proposed for later in this financial year. All three names appear in the plan for the year ahead, not in the fair the Secretary actually visited.
