Mines achieving the highest star ratings for which assessment year will be felicitated at the ceremony?
- A.2021-22
- B.2022-23
- C.2023-24
- D.2024-25
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 2024-25. The mines to be honoured at the Star Rating Awards Ceremony in Raipur are those that secured the highest star ratings for the assessment year 2024-25, after their performance was assessed and validated by reviewers appointed for the purpose. Options A, B and C name the earlier assessment years 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24. Ratings are given year by year under this framework, so earlier years have their own results, but none of those years is the one for which mines are being felicitated at this function. In questions on award ceremonies, keep the year of the event separate from the year of assessment being rewarded: here the ceremony falls on 2 November 2026 while the performance recognised belongs to the assessment year 2024-25, and mixing the two is a common mistake.
