  1. A.Khelo India Rising Stars
  2. B.Fit India Movement
  3. C.100 Years of Unity through Sport
  4. D.Sports for All Partnership

Correct answer

C. 100 Years of Unity through Sport

Explanation

The correct answer is 100 Years of Unity through Sport. The series at Rajgir formed part of this initiative, which marks a century of sporting ties between India and New Zealand and uses sport to strengthen cultural and diplomatic links between the two countries. Option A is incorrect, because the series was a bilateral exchange with New Zealand and was not held under that banner. Option B is wrong as well, since that movement concerns fitness awareness rather than this bilateral rugby exchange. Option D is not the name of the initiative under which the matches were played. The Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports, Smt Raksha Khadse, said such exchanges show how sporting partnerships can strengthen relations between nations and create lasting connections among young people.
