The 9th Rashtriya Poshan Maah will be launched from which city?

  1. A.Lucknow
  2. B.Varanasi
  3. C.Prayagraj
  4. D.New Delhi

Correct answer

B. Varanasi

Explanation

The correct answer is Varanasi. The campaign will be launched on 9 September 2026 at the Rudraksh International Cooperation and Convention Centre in that city of Uttar Pradesh, and the venue itself is a useful detail to remember because paper setters like naming convention centres. Option A, Lucknow, is the capital of the state and hosts many official functions, which makes it the most tempting wrong answer for a candidate who recalls only that the launch is in Uttar Pradesh. Option C, Prayagraj, is another major city of the same state with no connection to this launch. Option D, New Delhi, is where national campaigns are often launched, so it is a reasonable guess, yet this edition moves out of the capital. Pair the city with the theme, Hamari Anganwadi Hamari Jimmedari, and with the anniversary being marked, which is ten years of the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana.
