Where was the Chinmaya Amrit Mahotsav Global Sammelan inaugurated?
- A.Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi
- B.Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi
- C.Yashobhoomi, Dwarka
- D.Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. The Prime Minister inaugurated the Chinmaya Amrit Mahotsav Global Sammelan there on 23 October 2026, the global gathering of the Chinmaya Mission founded by Swami Chinmayananda. Option A, Vigyan Bhawan, is a long-standing conference venue in the capital but was not the site of this gathering. Option C, Yashobhoomi in Dwarka, is the other large convention centre in Delhi and is the kind of plausible distractor a paper setter uses, yet the Sammelan was not held there. Option D, Rashtrapati Bhavan, is the official residence of the President and is not a convention venue at all. Aspirants should note that Bharat Mandapam has hosted a series of national and international gatherings, so the venue is worth remembering along with the name of the event and the date of its opening.
