Which budget announced the Khelo India Sports Goods Manufacturing Scheme?
- A.Union Budget 2023-24
- B.Union Budget 2024-25
- C.Union Budget 2025-26
- D.Union Budget 2026-27
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Union Budget 2026-27. The announcement came in that budget and the Cabinet approval that followed gave the scheme its outlay, its components and its life span, which runs from 2026 to the financial year 2033-34. Options A, B and C each name an earlier budget, and none of them carried this scheme; an aspirant who marks one of them is likely remembering some other manufacturing or sports programme. A useful habit for the examination hall is to link three dates to one another whenever a scheme is cleared: the budget that announced it, the day the Cabinet approved it, which here was 28 October 2026, and the terminal year of the scheme. Holding those three together usually answers whatever form the question takes, whether it asks for the announcement, the approval or the end of the scheme period.
