In which state is the next phase of Operation Drishti to be conducted?

  1. A.Assam
  2. B.Odisha
  3. C.Rajasthan
  4. D.Kerala

Correct answer

B. Odisha

Explanation

The correct answer is Odisha, named as the venue of the next phase once the Kashmir leg closed. The announcement notes that with the valley complete, the drive has now reached the northern, western, eastern and central regions of the country, so the next stop continues a mapped spread rather than a random choice. Option A, Assam, option C, Rajasthan, and option D, Kerala, are not named in the announcement and are the sort of plausible alternatives added because each has districts far from specialist eye hospitals. The whole point of the drive is that people in such areas would otherwise have to travel long distances for sub-speciality care, which is why the camps go to them. Candidates should carry the sequence: Kashmir completed, Odisha next, under the Armed Forces Medical Services.
