Under which title has Viksit Bharat Buildathon 2025 been entered in the Guinness World Records?
- A.Largest Science Exhibition
- B.Largest Innovation Solution Competition
- C.Largest School Quiz
- D.Largest Student Hackathon
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Largest Innovation Solution Competition. The Guinness World Records certification for Viksit Bharat Buildathon 2025 was given under exactly this title, and it rests on the 2,87,967 project submissions that school students sent in under the Idea and Prototype tracks. The certificate was handed over in New Delhi at the function where the Union Minister of State for Education felicitated the ten national winning teams. Option A is wrong because the Buildathon was not run as an exhibition of science projects; entries were judged by expert panels at the district, state and national levels. Option C is wrong because a quiz on e-waste was only a side activity at the same function and had nothing to do with the record. Option D sounds close, since the contest did ask students to build working prototypes, but hackathon is not the wording of the record, and an aspirant should carry the exact phrase in memory because the title itself is what gets asked.
