On which date is National Entrepreneurship Day observed in India?
- A.9 October
- B.9 November
- C.19 November
- D.9 December
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 9 November. The day is tied to the creation of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, which was established on 9 November 2014, and so the anniversary of that ministry is observed each year as National Entrepreneurship Day. The observance frames enterprise as central to the Viksit Bharat @ 2047 goal in a country where close to 65% of people are below 35 years of age. Option A, 9 October, is wrong because no entrepreneurship observance is tied to that date in the material. Option C, 19 November, is wrong for the same reason; the ministry's founding day is the ninth of the month, not the nineteenth. Option D, 9 December, shifts the month and is therefore incorrect, even though the day of the month matches. Candidates should link the date to the ministry rather than to any other anniversary.
