What does the recent amendment to the NCDC Act allow?

The correct answer is Bastar in Chhattisgarh, where the Ministry of Cooperation is holding its 9th National Review Workshop on 8 and 9 October 2026. The Secretary of the Ministry told the inaugural session that the suggestion to hold a workshop on cooperative development in Bastar, a district long affected by Left Wing Extremism, had come from Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah, which is precisely what makes the venue worth remembering rather than incidental. Option A, Raipur, is the State capital and the obvious guess for anyone who recalls only the State. Option C, Bhubaneswar, belongs to Odisha, which does appear in the workshop discussions, since one thematic session covered Left Wing Extremism-affected districts of both Chhattisgarh and Odisha, but it is not the venue. Option D, New Delhi, is where many such reviews are usually held, which is why holding this one in Bastar was itself the point.

The correct answer is NCEL, NCOL and BBSSL, that is National Cooperative Exports Limited, National Cooperative Organics Limited and Bharatiya Beej Sahakari Samiti Limited. The workshop gave special attention to building stronger value chains in exports, organic products and seeds through these three national cooperative institutions, and to empowering primary cooperative institutions through them. The mapping is easy to hold if each name is tied to its field, with exports going to the first, organics to the second and seeds to the third. Option C mixes two financing bodies with a fertiliser cooperative: NABARD took part in the workshop through its team and the National Cooperative Development Corporation had a dedicated session, but both deal with finance rather than these value chains. Options A and D name well-known cooperative and marketing organisations that were not the three bodies cited for this purpose.

The correct answer is the Open Network for Digital Commerce. The Ministry of Cooperation is examining a proposal for a common cooperative digital platform to market cooperative products and farm produce more effectively, and the Secretary informed participants that the Open Network for Digital Commerce had offered its support for the initiative. The Ministry intends to seek suggestions and guidance from the States before taking the design further, so that the mechanism actually connects cooperative institutions with wider markets. Option B, Government e Marketplace, is the public procurement platform through which government buyers purchase goods and services, a different purpose altogether. Option C, the National Payments Corporation of India, builds and runs retail payment systems. Option D, the Unique Identification Authority of India, issues Aadhaar. Only the first is an open digital commerce network of the kind a cooperative marketing platform would be built on.

The correct answer is the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. The conditions listed in that law define the scope of the PRASHAST checklist, which is how a classroom observation becomes a formal referral for assessment. Option A, the Right to Education Act, is wrong for this question even though it governs free and compulsory elementary schooling and is the usual first guess in a school-related question. Option C, the Juvenile Justice Act, is wrong because it deals with children in need of care and protection and children in conflict with law, not with disability screening in schools. Option D, the Mental Healthcare Act, is wrong as well; it concerns mental health care and rights of persons with mental illness rather than school-level identification. The department ties this work to the National Education Policy and to the disability law together.

The correct answer is more than 60,000 schools, with participation expected to grow further during the month. The other options are wrong because they alter the figure, and a candidate should keep this number apart from the second reach figure in the same news, namely the more than seventy-two lakh teachers already sensitised through the dedicated module over the preceding three months. The two numbers measure different things: one counts institutions that screened the film on a single day, the other counts individual teachers covered by a continuing exercise. It is also worth remembering that the module itself runs for thirty minutes, is offered in twelve Indian languages, and is aimed not only at teachers but at every adult a child encounters in school, from the head of the institution to drivers and clerical staff.
