- A.Udyog Bhawan, New Delhi
- B.Vanijya Bhawan, New Delhi
- C.Krishi Bhawan, New Delhi
- D.Nirman Bhawan, New Delhi
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Vanijya Bhawan, New Delhi. The Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, inaugurated the National Strategic Trade Command Centre there, in the presence of the Commerce Secretary, Rajesh Agrawal, and the Director General of Foreign Trade, Lav Agarwal. Vanijya Bhawan houses the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, which is why a trade monitoring facility built by the Department of Commerce was placed in it. Option A, Udyog Bhawan, is associated with industry departments and was not the venue. Option C, Krishi Bhawan, is linked with agriculture administration and has no role in this launch. Option D, Nirman Bhawan, is connected with health and urban works and was likewise not the venue. For the examination, pair the initiative with its building: NSTCC goes with Vanijya Bhawan.
