On the occasion of which anniversary did CSIR-NIScPR launch five new popular science magazines?
- A.The 75th Foundation Day of CSIR
- B.The 80th Foundation Day of CSIR
- C.The 85th Foundation Day of CSIR
- D.The 90th Foundation Day of CSIR
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the 85th Foundation Day of CSIR. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research observed its 85th Foundation Day, and on that day the Minister of State for Science and Technology released five popular science magazines published by CSIR-NIScPR. The same occasion marks 84 years of the body's contribution to science, technology and national development. Options A, B and D name anniversaries that do not match the celebration at which these magazines were launched. Aspirants should tie the anniversary to the other details of the event, namely the five languages, the names of the magazines and the institute that publishes them, because examiners often frame the question around the occasion rather than the publication itself. The magazines were launched in New Delhi and the editors of all five titles were present, which makes the event as much about science communication as about the anniversary itself.
