What is the title of the souvenir released by the National Green Tribunal at its international conference on 'The Future of Environment and Climate Dynamics' in September 2026?

The correct answer is 55 per cent. Speaking at the valedictory session of the National Green Tribunal's conference, Manohar Lal, Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs and Power, said non-fossil sources account for nearly 55 per cent of India's installed generation capacity. He presented this as part of India's effort to balance rapid development with environmental sustainability.

Option B, 50 per cent, is the trap. That figure is the non-fossil capacity target, which the minister said India achieved five years ahead of schedule; it is not the current share. Options A and D, 40 and 65 per cent, are not mentioned in the release. Keep the two numbers distinct in your notes: the target was 50 per cent and was met early, while the present share is nearly 55 per cent.

The correct answer is Justice Prakash Shrivastava. The release identifies him as the Chairperson of the NGT. In his valedictory address he said the two days of discussion had shown the need to move beyond identifying environmental problems to building laws, institutions and partnerships able to respond to them, and that climate action must be inclusive and equitable.

The other three all spoke at the same session but hold different offices. Justice B.V. Nagarathna is a Judge of the Supreme Court of India. Tushar Mehta is the Solicitor General of India. Manohar Lal is the Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs and Power, who released the souvenir Harit Nyayam. That rules out options B, C and D. When several dignitaries appear in one release, examiners often swap their designations, so match each name to its post.

The correct answer is Mission LiFE. In her address the President said India has done commendable work in fostering environmental awareness by engaging common citizens, especially the youth, and that the Government's Mission LiFE initiative has shown that meaningful strides towards ecological restoration can be made through public participation and community ownership.

Namami Gange, the Green India Mission and the Nagar Van Yojana are other environment-related programmes, but the President did not cite any of them in this address, so options B, C and D are wrong. Her other key points are worth noting alongside the answer: climate resilience through people-centric, community-based adaptation rooted in traditional knowledge, and sustainable afforestation that restores self-sustaining ecosystems rather than merely planting trees. Questions on speeches often ask which scheme a speaker cited, so link Mission LiFE to this address.

The correct answer is 231. Swachh Sagar Surakshit Sagar 5.0 was conducted from 12 to 19 September 2026, and its coastal clean-up covered 231 locations across 13 States/UTs. Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh reviewed the campaign on 21 September 2026 and applauded the scale of public participation.

The other figures are distractors built around the correct one. Questions on this campaign usually test three numbers together, so learn them as a set: 231 locations, 13 States/UTs and 15 lakh people who took the Ocean Conservation Pledge. The name of the campaign means "Clean Sea, Safe Sea", and it brought together citizens, students, coastal communities, government agencies, scientific institutions and volunteers in a nationwide effort for cleaner coasts and safer seas along India's long coastline.

The correct answer is Department of Science & Technology. 'Vigyan Ki Baat' is a monthly lecture series launched by DST to showcase the work of India's autonomous scientific institutions and take their achievements to a wider audience. Its first edition, held on 29 August 2026, drew more than 7,500 people from academia, research and industry, and the second edition, on 26 September 2026, will feature the Director of the S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences.

The other options were all part of the same review meeting, which is why they confuse. The Department of Biotechnology and the Ministry of Earth Sciences take part in the joint digital outreach effort, and CSIR is preparing for CSIR@85. The proposed Digital Library of Scientific Achievements is being built with CSIR-NIScPR as the nodal institution, not DST.
