Rashtriya Ekta Diwas on 31 October 2026 marked which birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel?

  1. A.148th
  2. B.150th
  3. C.151st
  4. D.152nd

Correct answer

C. 151st

Explanation

The correct answer is the 151st. Rashtriya Ekta Diwas, or National Unity Day, falls on 31 October because that is the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and in 2026 the country marked his 151st. Options A, B and D give nearby numbers, and the one most likely to tempt a reader is the round 150th, which belonged to the previous year. The Sardar Katha programme at Uprashtrapati Bhavan was held to mark this anniversary along with Rashtriya Ekta Diwas, and earlier in the same day the Vice-President laid floral tributes at Sardar Patel Chowk in New Delhi and at Uprashtrapati Bhavan. Fixing the edition number is useful because questions on national days often ask for the exact anniversary rather than the date.
