Which company produced the methanol being shipped on the first international cargo voyage from Dibrugarh?

The correct answer is Pangaon Port, Dhaka. The vessel leaving the Bogibeel Terminal at Dibrugarh carries methanol made by Assam Petro-Chemicals Limited and sails to Pangaon Port, which lies at Dhaka in Bangladesh. It travels along National Waterway-2, that is the Brahmaputra, and then along the Indo-Bangladesh Protocol Route. This is the first occasion since Independence on which a cargo consignment moves from Dibrugarh to a port outside the country, which is why the sailing is being treated as the reopening of an old trade link.

Chattogram and Mongla are both ports of Bangladesh, but neither of them is the destination named for this maiden voyage, so options A and C are wrong. Sittwe is a port in Myanmar and has no part in this sailing, so option D is wrong as well. Only Pangaon fits the announcement made by the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways.

The correct answer is the Brahmaputra. The methanol consignment sailing from the Bogibeel Terminal at Dibrugarh to Pangaon Port in Dhaka moves on National Waterway-2, which is the Brahmaputra, and afterwards on the Indo-Bangladesh Protocol Route. Before Independence this same river was the main link between Upper Assam and the markets of the world, and Dibrugarh was one of the most important river ports of the region, so the voyage revives a historic trade route.

The Ganga is a different national waterway and is not the river named here, so option A is wrong. The Barak flows through the Barak valley of Assam but is not the river on which this voyage sails, so option B is wrong. The Mahanadi flows in eastern India and has no connection with this shipment, so option D is wrong. The Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways and the Inland Waterways Authority of India are organising the flag-off on this Brahmaputra route.

The correct answer is 2004. The Silk Mark Organisation of India has implemented the Silk Mark Scheme since that year, and the mark assures a buyer that the silk is pure. From 2022-23 the organisation began moving its work online, covering registration, renewal, document processing, pre-inspection, payment, label indenting, record keeping and grievance redress. The system now serves more than 7,000 authorised users, takes in over 500 new enrolments a year, and can clear an application within one or two working days, which has helped small and medium enterprises in particular. 1998 and 2014 are wrong because neither year appears in connection with the scheme. 2022 is a trap: 2022-23 is when digitisation started, not when the scheme began. Hence option B is correct.

The correct answer is 218. Mera Resham Mera Abhimaan 2.0, the second round of the Central Silk Board campaign, was designed as a structured and outcome-driven drive across 218 key sericulture districts, and those districts together account for over 95 per cent of the country's raw silk output. More than 1,700 programmes have been held under it, reaching over 73,000 growers directly and about a lakh other stakeholders through digital means. 129 is wrong because that was the spread of the first round, MRMA 1.0, a 100-day campaign begun in 2025. 26 is wrong as it is the number of states and union territories in which MRMA 1.0 worked, not a district count. 300 is not mentioned at all. So option B is the answer.

The correct answer is Kapas Kisan. It is the platform named as a key initiative of the showcase, and it carries the stages of a cotton purchase online: enrolling the grower, booking a slot, sending messages about the purchase and making payment through Aadhaar. The aim is to cut procedural tangles and let a grower see where the sale stands. e-NAM and Kisan Suvidha are wrong because neither is named in this announcement as the platform behind cotton procurement reform. Kasturi Cotton Bharat is a distractor drawn from the same announcement, but it is not a procurement platform: it is the initiative for quality, contamination control, digital traceability and premium-grade fibre, meant to raise the standing of Indian cotton in markets at home and abroad. Keep the two apart, because paper setters often swap them. Hence option A is correct.
