What was the theme of Mahila Kisan Diwas 2026?
- A.Women Farmers for a Hunger Free India
- B.Role of Women Farmers in Building Developed Agriculture and a Developed India
- C.Empowering Women Through Farm Mechanisation
- D.Women in Climate Resilient Agriculture
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Role of Women Farmers in Building Developed Agriculture and a Developed India. That theme was announced for the observance held at the Dr B. R. Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi, and it draws attention to the part women play in raising productivity, promoting sustainable farming, conserving natural resources and contributing to rural prosperity. Option A is wrong because no hunger related formulation was used for the day. Option C is wrong because farm mechanisation was mentioned only as one of the means of empowerment listed by the Secretary, along with direct income support, institutional credit, technology transfer, skill development and marketing infrastructure, and was not the theme. Option D is wrong because climate resilient practices were referred to as part of what women farmers adopt, not as the theme of the year. Learn the exact wording, since themes are asked verbatim.
