Where was the 11th meeting of the National Traders' Welfare Board held?
- A.Udyog Bhawan, New Delhi
- B.Vanijya Bhawan, New Delhi
- C.Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi
- D.Krishi Bhawan, New Delhi
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Vanijya Bhawan, New Delhi, which houses the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and where the board met in hybrid mode, with some members present and others joining online. The board functions under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade of that ministry, so its meeting place follows naturally. Udyog Bhawan houses other ministries and was not the venue, which makes option A wrong. Vigyan Bhawan is the government's large conference venue used for conferences and summits rather than for a board meeting of this kind, so option C is wrong. Krishi Bhawan is associated with agriculture and allied departments and has no connection with this board, so option D is wrong too. The meeting was chaired by Sunil J. Singhi and opened by the DPIIT Director, Yuvraj Ravindra Patil.
