Which body approved the Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum project on 11 November 2026?
- A.NITI Aayog
- B.Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs
- C.Cabinet Committee on Security
- D.Archaeological Survey of India
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs. It cleared the museum project, with its estimated cost of Rs 3,230 crore, on 11 November 2026. This committee takes decisions on proposals that involve large public spending, which is why a cultural project of this size came before it. NITI Aayog is the government's policy think tank and recommends rather than sanctions expenditure, so option A is wrong. The Cabinet Committee on Security handles defence, internal security and related appointments, which has nothing to do with a museum, so option C is wrong. The Archaeological Survey of India is a body under the Ministry of Culture that protects monuments and runs 52 site museums, several of which will lend objects to this museum, but it does not approve projects of this kind, so option D is wrong.
