The Jamsaheb Memorial Youth Exchange Programme is held between India and which country?
- A.Poland
- B.Hungary
- C.Czech Republic
- D.Lithuania
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Poland. The programme brings a Polish youth delegation to India every year, and the second edition was held from 7 to 14 October 2026 with 19 members visiting Gujarat, Maharashtra and New Delhi. It was announced by the Prime Minister during his State visit to Poland in August 2024 and belongs to the Five-Year Action Plan drawn up for the India-Poland Strategic Partnership. Option B, Hungary, is wrong; no such exchange with Hungary is named here. Option C, the Czech Republic, is wrong for the same reason, although central Europe as a region features in several Indian partnerships. Option D, Lithuania, is wrong. The clue is in the name itself: the exchange honours Jam Saheb Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja, who sheltered Polish children at Balachadi during the Second World War and is called Dobry Maharaja in Poland.
