Rairangpur, where the camp was held, is the native place of which of the following?

  1. A.The Vice-President of India
  2. B.The President of India
  3. C.The Chief Justice of India
  4. D.The Governor of Odisha

Correct answer

B. The President of India

Explanation

The correct answer is the President of India. The release notes that the camp was conducted at the place the President of India, Smt Droupadi Murmu, belongs to, in Mayurbhanj district of Odisha, which added to the significance of the medical effort there. The other options are wrong because none of those offices was linked to Rairangpur in this context. For revision, hold on to the main numbers from the camp: over four thousand patients treated in three days, three hundred and sixty-five surgeries that restored sight, over four hundred patients each in cardiology and nephrology, over five hundred in dermatology, two hundred twenty-one dental patients and three hundred thirty-nine in general medicine, with advanced interventions marked out for twenty-nine cardiac patients.
