What was the theme of the VIMARSH DRDO-Industry Synergy Meet held in September 2026?
- A.Varta se Vikas
- B.Vikas se Vishwas
- C.Shodh se Samriddhi
- D.Nav Bharat Nav Nirman
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Varta se Vikas, the theme named by the Defence Secretary and DRDO Chairman while describing how the meet was designed. The phrase captures the purpose of the gathering, which was to turn conversation between the laboratories and private manufacturers into concrete development work. Option B is wrong because no such theme is attached to this meet in the release. Option C is wrong for the same reason, though it sounds plausible for a research event. Option D is a generic slogan and is not the theme here. An aspirant should tie the theme to the other identifying facts of the event: the name VIMARSH, the date of 15 September 2026, the venue of New Delhi, and the presence of Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh, who unveiled the new policy initiatives for MSMEs and deep-tech start-ups.
