Which Foundation Day of the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Authority was observed with the Plant Genome Saviour Award ceremony?
- A.12th
- B.20th
- C.22nd
- D.25th
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 22nd. The authority observed its twenty-second Foundation Day together with the award ceremony that honours farmers and communities who have conserved plant genetic resources. Options A and B are wrong because neither edition matches the event. Option D is the trap most candidates fall into: twenty-five is the number of years completed by the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Act of 2001, not the edition number of the Foundation Day, and the two figures appeared side by side in the same address. Keep the pair apart in revision by anchoring each to its subject, the Foundation Day of the Authority at twenty-two and the life of the Act at twenty-five. Note also that the number twenty-two appears a third time in this story, as the count of agro-biodiversity hotspots in India, which makes careful reading essential.
