- A.5th Foundation Day
- B.10th Foundation Day
- C.15th Foundation Day
- D.25th Foundation Day
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the 10th Foundation Day. The All India Institute of Ayurveda in New Delhi celebrated ten years of work in Ayurveda teaching, research, clinical care and international collaboration, and the day fell on the concluding day of KAUMARACON 2026, the three-day international conference on Kaumarabhritya organised by the institute. The chief guest, Lok Sabha Member of Parliament Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, said he had seen the institute grow from the year of its foundation-laying to the present, a span of ten years. Options A, C and D give the fifth, fifteenth and twenty-fifth foundation days. These are the kind of round figures an examination will offer as distractors, but none of them matches the decade of progress the institute marked on this occasion. Candidates should link AIIA New Delhi with ten completed years and with the signing of two Memorandums of Understanding on the same day.
