Which Act was one of the subjects covered by the Human Rights Quiz-2026?
- A.Right to Information Act, 2005
- B.Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993
- C.Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955
- D.Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. The quiz sought to engage participants in learning about human rights, about that Act and about the functions, powers and duties of the National Human Rights Commission in promoting and protecting human rights across the country. The other three options are genuine Indian statutes, and some of them touch on rights, but the announcement names only the 1993 Act. The link is worth remembering because that statute is the one under which the Commission itself was constituted, so a question on the quiz, on the Commission's Foundation Day or on its powers can all be answered from the same fact. A participant had to answer up to 15 questions within 300 seconds.
