In which city was the 6th RISE Conclave 2026 inaugurated on 6 September 2026?

The correct answer is Kolkata. The release says the sixth edition opened at the CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology in Salt Lake, Kolkata, and runs on 6 and 7 September. Every wrong option here is a real host city of an earlier edition, which is what makes them good distractors: the conclave has previously been held in Mumbai, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Chennai and Bengaluru, so options A, C and D each name a past venue rather than the present one. The Minister explained the practice of moving the platform around the country as a way of widening its reach and connecting scientific capability with innovators in different regions. He also gave a reason for choosing this particular city, recalling the scientific tradition associated with Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy, Prof U. N. Brahmachari, Sir C. V. Raman and Dr Syama Prasad Mukherjee. Remember the sequence of six cities in order; a paper setter can ask for any one of them.
