Kishor Makwana, who was conferred the Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Jan Seva Award 2026, is the Chairman of which body?
- A.National Commission for Backward Classes
- B.National Commission for Scheduled Castes
- C.National Commission for Scheduled Tribes
- D.National Human Rights Commission
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the National Commission for Scheduled Castes. The release identifies Kishor Makwana as the Chairman of the NCSC and says the award recognises his dedicated service to that Commission and his contribution to advancing social justice, adding that the Commission has strengthened its role in safeguarding the constitutional rights of the Scheduled Castes under his leadership. Option A is the sharpest distractor, because the National Commission for Backward Classes does appear in the release, but in a different role: the ceremony was presided over by Hansraj Ahir, a former Chairman of that Commission. Option C and option D are national bodies that a candidate may confuse with the right one, yet neither is mentioned here. It is worth fixing the pairing in memory as a set, namely the recipient, the Commission he heads, and the award named after the former President of India.
