The ASMITA women’s leagues, discussed at the course, run under which framework and were launched in which year?
- A.Khelo India, launched in 2021
- B.Fit India, launched in 2019
- C.Khelo India, launched in 2016
- D.National Sports Development Fund, launched in 2014
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Khelo India, launched in 2021. The ASMITA leagues are women’s leagues run under the Khelo India framework, and since their launch in that year they have reached more than three lakh women, opening up organised participation and competition across regions and communities. Option B is wrong because Fit India is a fitness movement and not the framework under which these leagues are held, and the year given with it is not the launch year of the leagues. Option C names the right framework but the wrong year, and that is exactly the kind of mismatch a paper setter uses; the leagues were launched later than the year shown there. Option D is wrong on both counts, since the National Sports Development Fund is a funding mechanism rather than a league framework. Candidates should also note the point made at the course that grassroots work must be linked to Khelo India Centres, accredited academies and Centres of Excellence so that promising athletes have a route upward.
