Until which date will the nationwide Khet Bachao Abhiyan awareness drive run in villages?
- A.31 October 2026
- B.15 November 2026
- C.30 November 2026
- D.31 December 2026
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 30 November 2026. The Minister asked vice-chancellors of agricultural universities, the Director General of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, scientists and officials to leave their laboratories and offices and reach villages between 22 October and 30 November 2026, holding meetings with farmers on soil health and balanced nutrient use. Option A would make the drive a matter of days, far too short for the village-by-village outreach that was described. Option B is a halfway date that sounds plausible but was never announced. Option D stretches the campaign to the end of the calendar year, which the Minister did not say, though he did promise to take part in the work on the ground himself. The exam-worthy detail is the pair of dates, 22 October to 30 November 2026, along with the aim of keeping farmland from turning barren.
