Where was the first National Orientation Programme for Tribal Healers on Public Health held?

  1. A.Bhubaneswar, Odisha
  2. B.Kanha Shanti Vanam, Hyderabad
  3. C.Ranchi, Jharkhand
  4. D.New Delhi

Correct answer

B. Kanha Shanti Vanam, Hyderabad

Explanation

The correct answer is Kanha Shanti Vanam, Hyderabad. The two-day orientation was held there, and it was inaugurated in the auditorium of the same venue. Option A, Bhubaneswar, is where the partner institute is based, namely the ICMR-National Institute of Health Research, which designed the training module and whose Director helped open the programme; it is the most tempting wrong answer for exactly that reason. Option C, Ranchi, is the capital of a state with a large tribal population and so looks plausible, but no part of this programme was held there. Option D, New Delhi, is where the Ministry of Tribal Affairs sits, yet the event itself was held in Telangana. For revision, keep the two cities apart in your mind: Bhubaneswar for the institute that built the course, and Hyderabad for the venue where the healers were actually trained on the first and second of November.
