Viksit Bharat Buildathon 2025 has entered the Guinness World Records in which category?

  1. A.Largest science exhibition
  2. B.Largest Innovation Solution Competition
  3. C.Largest coding lesson
  4. D.Largest robotics fair

Correct answer

B. Largest Innovation Solution Competition

Explanation

The correct answer is Largest Innovation Solution Competition. The Ministry of Education announced that the Viksit Bharat Buildathon 2025 had been certified by Guinness World Records under exactly this category, on the strength of 2,87,967 project entries sent in by school pupils from across the country through the Idea Track and the Prototype Track. The certificate is to be presented at the culmination ceremony in New Delhi. Option A is wrong because the Buildathon is a competition in which teams submit ideas and working prototypes, and not an exhibition of science models, and no exhibition record was claimed. Option C is wrong because no coding lesson or class record figures anywhere in the announcement; the contest is not tied to a single subject or skill. Option D is wrong because robotics is only one of many fields a submitted project could belong to, and the record recognised the whole competition rather than any robotics event. Aspirants should memorise the exact wording of the category, since questions on world records usually test the phrase itself.
