In which year was the Swavlamban seminar first held?

  1. A.2018
  2. B.2020
  3. C.2022
  4. D.2024

Correct answer

C. 2022

Explanation

The correct answer is 2022. Swavlamban started that year and has since grown into a national platform that joins the Indian Navy’s operational requirements to what Indian industry and academia can actually build. Because the first edition came in 2022, the edition held on 26 and 27 October 2026 is the fifth, which is a useful cross-check in the examination hall: count the editions forward from the year of inception and the edition number follows. The other years are wrong. Nothing in the record places the seminar in 2018 or 2020, both of which fall before its inception. The year 2024 is too late to be the first edition, since by then the seminar was already an established annual fixture; it also cannot be reconciled with a fifth edition falling in 2026.
